who

so
far
with
their
support
and/or
kudos
for
deciding
to
take
on

It’s
awesome
and
kind
of
humbling
to
have
marathon
veterans
cheering
me
on

it

makes

The
Vermont
City
Marathon
crew
wanted
to
have
rookies
blog
about
their
training
experience,
so
here
is
my
current
reality...
My
previous
three
blogs
have
been
light-hearted
with
humor
peppered
into
the
dialogue.
But
now
that
I’m
entering
into
the
weeks
of
training
with
higher
mileage,
I’m
beginning
to
feel
overwhelmed.
I’m
exhausted.
And
... More
I’m
humbled.
I
am
struck
by
the
enormity
of
organizing
an
event
as
large
as
the
M&T
Bank
Vermont
City
Marathon.
I
started
reflecting
on
the
number
of
people
that
are
needed
to
successfully
host
an
event
of
this
magnitude,
and
the
numbers
quickly
started
spiraling
out
of
control.
I
knew
from
personal
experience
that
just
considering
the
medical
team,

They
say
that
doctors
make
the
worst
patients.
I
think
that
maybe
we
need
to
expand
that
statement
to
include
EMTs.
I
took
a
pretty
good
whack
to
the
head
this
week
and
have
been
a
bit
loopy
since
the
incident.
I’m
sure
that
I
had/have
a
concussion,
but
I
was
too
stubborn
to
seek
medical
attention.
Everyone
kept
telling

OMG,
am

really

person?I
read
a
quote
this

that
seems
pertinent
for
this

“I
dare
you
to
train
for
a
marathon
and
not
have
it

your

will
culminate
this
weekend!
I’m
really
looking
forward
to

If
you’ll
indulge
me
for
a
moment,
my
running
story
this
week
starts
with
a
brief
history…Years
ago,
I
bicycled
from
New
York
to
California.
We
took
70
days
and
covered
4300
miles.
I
recall
training
a
lot
for
that
trip.
Although,
maybe
“training”
wasn’t
the
right
word
for
it.
I
just
simply
loved
cycling,
and
lived
to
ride.
So,

One
of
the
most
important
components
of
running,
to
me
anyway,
is
the
mentality
of
it.
When
I’m
out
banking
the
miles,
my
mind
is
just
as
powerful,
if
not
more,
than
my
legs.
What
I’m
thinking
about,
what
I’m
trying
not
to
think
about,
my
stress
level
and
my
general
mood
and
how
awake
I
am

15
is
done.
Between
running,
meetings,
crazy
weather,
and
Villainous
Vixens
Fundraisers,
it
has
been
one
busy
week!I
woke
up
with
a
headache
that
quickly
turned
into
a
migraine.
This
migraine
lasted
all
day
which
made
my
long
run
a
no
go. My
body
decided
that
it
had
enough
by
the
end
of
the
of
the
week...and

I'm
becoming
more
and
more
convinced
that
the
best
way
to
train
for
a
5K
is
to
register
for
a
marathon.Three
mile
runs
are
now
my
warm-ups.
Six
is
my
favorite
everyday
distance.

feels
like
a

activity.

A
balance
I’ve

to
discover:
I
don’t
want
to
run
too
often,
because
I
feel
strongest
when
my
whole
being
craves
a
run.
But
I’m
training
for
a
marathon!
I
can’t
not
run
too
often.
These
muscles
need
to
stay
active.
Besides,
I
don’t
want
to

a

way

It’s
okay
to
admit
that
you
did…because

are

longer
than
you

There
are
numbers

Hello,
it’s
Ellane.
This
week
of
training
was
hard—although, technically
speaking, it
was
an
easy
week
distance
wise.
Life
had
other
things
that
needed
to
get
done.
With
my
son’s
birthday
and
Easter,
there
just
was
not
enough
hours
in
the
days.
I
was
able
to
get
my
runs
in
at
the
beginning
of
the
week. Come
mid-week
it
became
increasingly
difficult

We
are
excited
to
announce
our
Vermont
City
Marathon
Rookies
for
2018.
There
are
five
of
them,
and
they
are
all
related!
How
cool
is
that?
In
the
coming
weeks,
we
will
hear
all
about
their
training
and
motivation.

Hello
all
you
lovely
people,
it's
Ellane!
This
was
week
11—
seriously
11.
We
have
7
weeks
to

can
you
believe
it?
I
really
can’t.
We
have
been
working
so
hard!
Have
you
noticed
any
changes
in
yourself,
your
appetite,
your
appearance?
I
have!
Currently,
I

Hello,
all.
Hope
you
are
well.
Let’s
talk
about
week
12
of
training.
I
started
the
week
on
a
high
note
as
I
had
PR’d
in
my
long
run
at
the
end
of
last
week.
I
was
feeling
confident
in
all
the
training
I
had
done
and
that
I
was
on
the
right
track.This
momentum
carried
through
the

Hello,
people!
Let's
think
about
week
8.
Began
the
week
with
my
first
outside
run,
it
was
still
a
bit
cold
for
me,
but
I
made
it
and
didn’t
die!
Although,
for
a
good
two
or
three
hours
after
I
kept
coughing,
that
was
super
fun.Then
we
got
snow,
so
much
snow,
the
next
four
days.
