My husband and I are running the Charlevoix marathon on June 23.
Memorial day weekend we did a 14 mile training run in Charlevoix which was nice to be able to run on the race course. This coming weekend we will have a 20 mile training run and we are going to do this on the White Pine Trail in Rockford. I am a planner so I have already bought G2 and decided where I am going to drop it along the course. I am glad that it is supposed to be in the mid 60s, 20 miles is enough of a challenge without also having to endure the heat. I am also excited for my husband because this is his first marathon and this weekend will be the longest he has ever run.
My whole family will be at the marathon. I love hearing them cheer for me. This is a very small race, a few hundred people run the full marathon, so there are not a lot of spectators. This time I am going to have my 12 year old son and my 9 year old daughter cross the finish line with me. Are any other champions doing a marathon this summer?

Best of luck to you and your hubby, Valerie! It sounds like it’s going to be a great event, and having your kids cross the finish line with you is going to make it so much more exciting. My running goals are two half and one full marathon by December 31, so I’ve begun following a half-marathon training plan this week. I’ll also be running a number of 5K and 10K races this summer. Stay well!
Hey Val! I am running the Charlevoix full as well, it will be my first!
I am so freaking excited, I cannot wait!
