Marathon Tips?

[K8teebug]

I may actually skip a spring race this year.

My heel spur from last year healed in due time. But I've become too fat, old, and debilitated to do any kind of "racing". As if a marathon could actually be considered "racing" for us mid to back of packers.

I started running the parkrun College Park 5K races on Saturday mornings.  If you're nearby and feel inclined, its a great, low-key, no-pressure weekly race.  And its freeeeeeee!

Meanwhile in Florida, the alligators have developed sign making skills.

Forgot about this thread. Just ran my 4th last year (Marine Corps again). Got down to 3:40 and ran every step. Not bad for 40 imo

FTFY.

Nice time! If they didn't keep changing the qualifying standard, I'd say you're close to Boston!

Kick ass! I am not that fast. Trying to volunteer for the remembrance mile this year at MCM. After 6 in a row, I'm taking a break and running Chicago full and the Wineglass 1/2 this year. Anyone running B&A 1/2 or full this weekend?

[K8teebug]

Also, my husband ran MCM in 3:40. Maybe you were next to each other!

That's cool! Though by the end, all I could think of was that every single step was the most painful step I've ever taken in my life   That last uphill 1/10th of a mile almost did me in.

I haven't run a full since 2015, but I'm gonna train again this summer.  Gonna run a fall race, hopefully.
