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.

"He's going the distance...He's going for speed.."..You put this song in my head:

Ouch...was watching the video..That wine in his eyes has got to hurt..lol..Don't splash wine in your face during a race..Lol.

Missy: I ran with that top in the race. That's the owner of the bicycle shop, he is a good friend of mine and he wanted me to run in his gear so I did. It was too tight, I like the fitting but not for running... I guess tri gear can be so intimating. It's a zipper down top it's neat.. I ran in shorts not in tights...lol

Missy: I love that song! That song is on my long distance playlist ;)

Zipperdown! O.o...Those TRI guys get really wild..lol...I just got a zipperdown TRI top but for women there is a shelf bra inside..lol....Do you have a picture of the Top you are talking about?

From Benny's on Sun, Feb 07, 2010 at 22:35:17 from 24.174.249.108

Missy: refresh, it's the top I'm wearing on the right hand side... I'm with the Owner of Wally's Bicycle Shop in McAllen, Texas.

That top is Sweet! I love it. :) I want one. :D

From Benny's on Sun, Feb 07, 2010 at 22:53:38 from 24.174.249.108

Missy: want it? lol I don't do tri's!!! PLUS it stuck on me like glue when I was running, I'm sure my friend wally wouldn't mind someone representing it in Utah! ha!
