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.

Paul: Yes sir the 5:34, and 5:32 felt like a 6:00 it felt like a breeze.

Sam: don't worry it still needs to pan out in a race! I can run like an all-american but if I can't put it together it's useless.
