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.

Picked up my packet at 4:30 and then headed to the hotel with Gono, Augustine and Noe...

At 5:30 we ate at Olive Garden and at 7pm we headed to my friends place Jack and Adams Bicycle the #1 bike shop in Austin.

With my lifetime bud Jack and the fastest Hispanic Miler in the WORLD! Good times! Thanks Jack and Leo!

Left at 8:00pm and just relaxed at the hotel and slept at 12pm

Wokeup at 6:30 am and this is how it rolled

13th out of 25,000 runners with a 33:13 and 1st in my division of 35-39 (Feels good to represent my age group) here are my splits (5:09,5:23,5:28,5:10,5:12,5:24) I dropped the ball on mile 2 & 3! Grinding is part of racing and today was one of those days I had to grind it out! Thanks for the support and on to the next one...

Top 25 individuals last year I ran a 31:50 but today was freaking hot!

Nice race! Way to rebound on miles 4-5 and pick it back up. That's tough to do in the middle of the race, especially when its hot out!

From I Just Run on Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 15:56:54 from 67.79.11.242

WAY TO GO BENNY....!!!!!

Nice race and it sounds like you had a great time! Keep up the good work, you're an inspiration !!

Jake: one of these days I'm going to go crazy like you and run 10-12 weeks of 140 + miles and try to get the best out of me! A 2:14 marathoner from mexico told me he would run 140 miles per week for 10 weeks and then cut down to run his best...

I will be at Boston shooting for a 2:30 lol not as great as you but man! I know why you are good! BECAUSE YOU PUT IN THE TIME! and it pays off!

IJR:Did you run bro? yea I had a great time... spent some time with Jack and Leo at his place! I can't believe Leo Manzano ran the fastest mile ever in Texas 3:55:98 3/24/2012

From Jake K on Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 21:13:48 from 67.177.21.60

That's a great goal for Boston. I'm going to try and coordinate a big blog meetup after the race or something like that.

From Benny's on Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 21:17:10 from 68.203.250.147

I'm up for it Jake if I can walk lol! I'll be there till tuesday! Let me know! Keep on running hard bro! I know you will do great in Boston! Good Job
