Wondering what a Marathon Maniac is? It is a group that you can become a member by running 3 marathons in 90 days. When you become maniac you get a maniac number. There is a group called Half Fanatics it is the same idea but for half marathons. I became Half Fanatic last fall my fanatic number is 189.
After running Surf City Marathon February 7 I felt great and decided to try to become a marathon maniac. I signed up and ran Napa Valley Marathon March 7th. The crazy thing is I got a personal best at both races.
I am running Salt Lake City Marathon next Saturday. The night before the races some of the Utah Marathon Maniacs are having a dinner for Marathon Maniacs running the race. They are nice enough to elt me come to the dinner before officially becoming a Marathon.
Maniac. My friend invited me to stay at her house in Salt Lake the night before with 2 other girls and then go to the race together. It is going to be a blast. The best part of Salt Lake Marathon is my work is paying my entry fee. I will run 3 marathons in 10 weeks (69 days).
There are different levels of maniac. i want to try to bet another level this year. I either have to run 1 marathon a mont hfor 6 months or run 8 marathons in 365 days. I am waiting till after Ogden Marathon to sign up for any more full marahtons.
I am aslo running Ragnar Relay this year. My brother in law's work is sponsoring a team and has had a few runners drop out. My sister, coworker/friend/marathon maniac, and I are running the relay on the team. The best part is with the company sponsoring it I don't have to pay for the race.
If you want to become a Marathon Maniac or Half Fanatic or want to run your first marathon/ half marathon let me know I love to talk to other runners.
