Feeling the growl again

     

    Dang!  Sad   I'll try to re qualify, so maybe in 2014!?

     

    Anything is possible.  I HAVE to run one more good one, I can't leave it with the 2011 fiasco being my last one...

      4/20 -- spaniel -- Indiana 100 50-miler -- 6:20; finish, damnit.

        Bam.

         

        My crew committed before I did....so I have to put on my big girl panties now.

            4/15 bhearn     Boston Marathon      2:55

            4/28 bhearn     Big Sur Marathon      have fun

             

            2:55 is starting to look not very likely, but I'll leave it out there for now.

              4/14   flarunner   Iron Girl Half Marathon   Clearwater, FL   don't know yet

                Large well known New England marathon type race.

                 

                Same event for me.

                 

                Goal is to average less than 6 min/mile, so that would put me around <2:37.

                  4/5 Dopplebock - Fools 5k

                  4/15 Dopplebock - Boston

                   

                  How the hell can I set goals now ?  Who knows what shape I will be in 10 weeks.

                   

                  But realistically I will be happy to run the 5k in 18:36 and Boston < 3:00

                   

                  If I happen to want to sharpen those goals before the actual races, I will let you know.  Currently I am a fair way away from that fitness

                  Long dead ... But my stench lingers !

                        Nice!  Sactown's FAST - be ready to get that PR!  I've run it both years they've had it.  Lots of the best NorCal runners will be there so you won't be in no-man's land like you were at Davis.      We should say hullo at the race, that way I can throw a rope around you and you can tow me into that sub 60!

                          Shame this isn't a week earlier as I am over in the US and in Sacramento/Napa/SF area the previous weekend and I'd love to get a local race in.

                           

                          If you can put me down for the London Marathon, London UK on the 4/21, goal sub 2:40:00

                              Your goal in March is for a 40 minute 10k and then you go to a 63 minute 15k ~ Unless this is a much harder course - I have to call your goal weakness out!

                               

                              With more time to train between - anything > 1:01:30 looks weak to me.

                                Damn it all. Can't a man sandbag around here? Of course you are correct. Time to put on the big boy pants.
