Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to accomplish my short term goals first... Once I do that, I will have an idea of what to expect long term... 44 yrs old now and since I've been injured free for 1 month I am jumping back on marathon training. Any recommendations for a good marathon in December 2021? What is your recommendation?

Personal:

Don't knock it until you try it.

Legs are in top shape and have no soreness in them from yesterdays race. Resuming marathon training. Up next Edinburg All America 10K. Legs didn't get trashed after this race and I know why!

Bennys great recovery run eh! and I am so made up you have no soreness well done :-)

Are you going to let me in on the secret why ? How? :)

From Benny's on Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 17:43:47 from 24.174.249.108

Missy: thanks

Missy and Sam: It could be various of things

a) mileage plus the 2 workouts I have during the week that have made me stronger

b) Ez centrum performance? dunno

c) prolly didn't maximize my running in the half this weekend or the cooldown ? I did 3 miles

d) I eat a lot!!

From Samantha Dean-Howard on Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 06:56:52 from 78.32.130.9

Benny's I get the training, yeah you have been doing great.

b) gonna go look at that one, I have been researching supplements, and energy drinks! Vinh prompted me.

c) yeah I agree tooo great easier week

d) ha ha eating helps, but even in marathon training I need to get my weight down a touch as I know it makes a difference, I am struggling with the ratio at the moment to get it right...but I am doing okay at the moment just really tired all the time.... thanks Bennys :-D

Benny...I started Taking Costco's version of Centrum Performance...Not sure how I like it yet...My energy has been weird in January with decreased workouts..You would think it would be the opposite..Less workouts more energy...It's the opposite for me...More workouts more energy..I'm confusing myself! LOL...

As for increasing mileage..I will be adding in lots of bike and swim..I might try to sneak in an extra run here and there if I feel up to it..

:D

Missy: don't worry whatever your body doesn't want it will be pee'd out. Pretty balance with all that training. I wish you the best.

Um you said Pee...*snicker*
