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.

This Thanksgiving I ran for the 4th consecutive year the race for a cause 10k/5k

This is the start of the race over 370 runners participated.


By mile one I was pretty much left alone 


By mile 4 it was still just me and the bike dude 




Here are my splits..... 

5:16
5:14
5:07
5:16
5:22
5:24

Overall 10K time 32:38

Results are here Race for A Cause 10k



Nothing spectacular to say other than I gave 25 bucks to the Hands Across South Texas 10k because the proceeds will go to benefit children, unprivileged families, and battered women in the surrounding areas! I will continue to do this race as long as the cause is there! RACE FOR A CAUSE! ;)

These are previous times and places
