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.

So I took off at 6:50 PM for a tempo. It wasn’t raining when I started running it started to drizzle 30 minutes and it started to pour at 45 mins into the run. I headed down hillside and into the neighborhood right in front of Autozone. I did an eight mile warm-up and then the tempo 6:02, 5:57, 5:56, 6:02, 5:56. I was supposed to run a 7 mile tempo but I shut it down at 5, I was slipping while running through ankle high water. My hamstrings got a bit tight my last 2 miles were at 8:57 and 8:37 ending a 15 miler. I should have just scratched this run off. I still did it, but it suck!

 

15 miles at 7:19 mile pace

 

I guess better luck next time.

Perfect weather I wish it was like this last night unfortunately that's not the way the cookie crumbled. Anyways the night was beautiful and enjoyed a really calm run. My shoes were soaked from last night and since I only have a pair of shoes I had to run in some puma shoes I use for walking lol.

 

Anyways till tomm!

Today I charged my Garmin 405 for 2 hrs and it stopped  at 40 mins into the run. People GARMIN 405 SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was lucky enough to see one of my athletes running. I went up to Marlene G. and asked to borrow her watch. I ended running with Marlene's watch as she left without a watch for her own run! <-- How selfish! I feel bad now! Anyways I did the workout and it felt easy.  I hope all goes as plan! I'm shooting for a sub 1:10 on a fast course! 5 weeks and showtime!!
