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.

Notes

 

I was only going to do a 5 mile tempo at 5:55 pace, I decided to keep it easy until the last one. My last mile I picked it up a bit to get a feel of the half marathon pace. The run went as plan. Now it’s time run easy till race day. Here are all the splits, 7:00, 6:59, 6:57, 7:09, 7:03, 7:08, 6:59, 7:26 TEMPO 5:58, 5:59, 5:59, 5:56, 5:18, 7:25, 7:25

by the way it was 78 degrees caliente!!!

 

I had this playing on my ipod of course a remix version of it!
