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.

Dang, man, that is some awesome training. 5:35 for the last mile of the tempo is fantastic. I agree with Dave, you are going to hammer Austin!

jtshad: THANKS Man! I just gotta see if it all pans out on that day, otherwise I'm going to have to wait for another race.
