I set a goal to win my age division for the local winter grand prix race series held each winter. We have a very competative local group of about 200 runners, and we beat each other up in the winter grand prix race series. 7 races, and you can drop your 2 worst finishes.

On Sunday I was 3rd overall,and first in my age group to clinch my age group. It was a very cold and snowy day for the race, and a great way to finish the series. Now I'm going to focus on training for the Boston Marathon in April. I've never run a marathon, but have a number through a club waiver.

Hopefully my knees will hold out.....

Congrats, and good luck on your marathon!

There's no series around here; it would be interesting if there were.
