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.

Drove up to Austin on Saturday got there at 4pm. Checked in to hotel and picked up my package. Went for a run at Lady Bird Lake and when I got back ordered some Chicken Alfredo from Olive Garden. I got back to the hotel at 8pm and ate. Finished Dinner at around 8:30 and then dipped myself into an ice bath. Slept at 12:00a.m. and woke up at 7:00 two hours before race time.

Did 3 mile warmup


I got 8th place out of 23,000 runners with a time of 31:50 for the 10k Splits (5:09,5:06,5:16,4:57,4:59,5:10 dunno the .2) hard work is paying off!


Then did a 10 mile run at 6:40 pace!


21 DAYS to the Boston Marathon. This time indicates that I am ready to run a good Marathon! I can't wait!
