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.

Why is it that when I feel like crap I usually end up with a good running day? I dread doing 1000's repeats!! 3 mile warm up 8x1000 with 200 meter jog (3:12,3:13,3:13,3:14,3:13,3:14
,3:11,3:08) 3 mile cool down total miles 12. Looks like the 3/4 weeks of threshold running is paying off, my times are slowly coming down without even trying! Gotta Keep Pressing!
