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 I took off at 6:50 PM for a tempo. It wasn’t raining when
I started running it started to drizzle 30 minutes and it started to pour at 45
mins into the run. I headed down hillside and into the neighborhood right in front
of Autozone. I did an eight mile warm-up and then the tempo 6:02, 5:57, 5:56,
6:02, 5:56. I was supposed to run a 7 mile tempo but I shut it down at 5, I was
slipping while running through ankle high water. My hamstrings got a bit tight
my last 2 miles were at 8:57 and 8:37 ending a 15 miler. I should have just
scratched this run off. I still did it, but it suck!
I guess better luck next time. Current: Rain

People GARMIN 405 SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was lucky enough to see one of my athletes running. I went up to Marlene G. and asked to borrow her watch. I ended running with Marlene's watch as she left without a watch for her own run! <-- How selfish! I feel bad now! Anyways I did the workout and it felt easy. I hope all goes as plan! I'm shooting for a sub 1:10 on a fast course! 5 weeks and showtime!! 3M Half Marathon Austin TEXAS | |

Don't know what's the problem, but I keep on getting a side stitch through out the whole run, sometimes it goes away and at others it comes back painfully. Quad strain is gone, but now I'm hit with a low abdominal pain. Aghh I gotta sort things out with a Dr., hopefully it ain't a hernia.
