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.

Notes

 

It’s drizzling here in Laredo, Texas. 1. I felt like crap 2. I wanted to just run 2 miles and go back home 3. I wasn’t up for a tempo. All of that was erase after going 6 min pace in the 3rd mile after that everything just fell through. It was one of those days that you just want to take off. I’m glad I didn’t!!! I ran a 10 mile tempo avg 5:57. No more workouts for this week. I’ll run the mileage but run easy. I have a 10k race this saturday and I’m going to put everything on the line! Edinburg All American City 10k! IT’S ON!

 

BY THE WAY YES ITS 100PERCENT HUMID! LOL
