Fox Cities, WI -- Many people come back to run the Fox Cities Marathon year after year, but for some it's their first time.
Amy Behrent of Menasha has run the Fox Cities Half Marathon several times as well as the marathon relay.
This year, she has put in all the training and is ready to take on the full marathon all by herself.
Behrent said half the battle is mental.
"I'll think about my kids. I'm trying to be healthy for them and set a good example. I'll think about the people who have come into my life because of running. I start singing songs. I start singing out loud sometimes. It all just depends on how I'm feeling physically," said Behrent.
Amy has trained all summer long with her 2 kids.
She said they pushed her while riding their bikes.
Together as a family, they've taken part in many fun runs to keep motivated.
