It's called a "destination race" for a reason. Some races are so special, and their course so beautiful, it's WORTH a long trip. MDI Marathon & Half is one of them.

We've been talking about "fitness" wrong. There's more to fitness than working out and eating "right". We need to look at a more complete picture, and adjust our understanding and approach.

Not everyone has a workout buddy or coach, and that's ok! There are, though, some things you should consider if you plan to take this on alone.
Taking on the world - solo.
I have to start by saying, there is absolutely nothing wrong with taking on your fitness journey solo. Many people have done it, are doing it, and will do it in the future - with great success! I find, though, that most people flying solo in the gym don't necessarily start off that way on purpose. Sometimes you just get going and you haven't thought to bring anyone along for the ride.
What I'm saying is - think about it.
Before you dive face first into your fitness journey give a little thought to whether you WANT to do it alone... or if you'd maybe like someone to share in the fun and excitement. You might find the process will be more enjoyable and, ultimately, productive if you've got someone to help push you, keep you accountable, and even just talk to.
"Nah, I'm good. Me, Myself, and I - that's it."
Ok - so you DO actually want do to do it alone. That's totally fine! There ARE a few things I'd like to ask you to consider before you get up and running alone, though. Humor me here, k?
