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.

Why did I feel better today? I felt like crap yesterday and today's run I just coasted through. I need to get more sleep that might be the case.

If there is anything I hate is doing workouts!!! Somehow I was dragging before the start of the workout, like today. I ran 6 miles @ 7:30 pace before starting the 1000 repeats. I always start of slow with a 3:18 and winding down to a 3:13, believe or not I get comfortable with the pace and things just turn easier after the first one. My legs are holding up, I am feeling too fresh after the workout,  I guess the mileage is settling in. I hate writing guys so this is the best I can practically put on writing. lol

 If you are wondering what I have been doing as far as eating etc etc.

 

Slept 7 hrs,

Breakfast: I had some cookies and a coke sorry guys I was sleepy at work!

Lunch: ate 2 burritos @ noon with a water 

Dinner: 1 jumbo jack, large fries, 1 bottle water and I'll probably eat some snacks here and there before I go zzz!

 

Yea my diet is bad! lol
