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. Favorite Blogs: |

So Close Yet So Far Away!!!
Woke up at 4:30 am I ate 2 toast bread with a Gatorade and just sat and watch t.v. while I waited for the marathon. Around 6:20 my friend James Longoria from Eugene drove me to the start which was approximately 6 blocks away. I ate a pack of sports beans and took two packs with me to consume throughout the race. I wore a beanie hat, gloves and compression socks plus uniform... threw away beanie hat at mile 7 and gloves 1 at mile 4 and 1 at mile 10...

.2 in Dunno yet
Placed 10th overall with a new personal record of 2:30:48
The course has 3 small uphills I remember throughout the whole race 1 @ 4 , 1@8 or 9 and 1 @ 17 over a bridge.
I'm so close to breaking 2:30 I have a feeling that my next marathon will be a 2:28.... I just feel it....
Weather was great
Course was fast and flat
The air was superb!!!
