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.

Good workout, I was not thrilled about the workout for today but after warming up and hitting a 5:56 things settled down. I set it on coast and the run was over before it even started.
