      As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

          May 4th

          Decatur Steeple Chase 8k

          This is my 4th year running this one, it was my very first race, hope to beat last year's time of 39:36 .

           

          May 27th

          Cotton Row 10k(registered), and maybe the 5k(not registered yet). My goal is to beat last year's time of 55:04, ultimately hope to break 49:30 in the 10k. If I do the 5k, it will be for fun or maybe to pace a forumite.

           

          Also have a FE planned.

          Are we there, yet?

            date - your name - name of race - goal (any goal, even if it's to finish/have fun/not die)

             

            And don't forget to come back and give us the results. Now, go:

            May 26 - wcrunner2 - Bob Potts Marathon - goal (supported long run as training for a fall ultra)

             

            It will also be my first marathon in over 18 years, my last one being a DNF due to stomach cramps. The last marathon I finished was in 1981 so this wil be a huge PW for me regardless of how well I run. I estimate it will be my slowest by more than 90 minutes and possibly by as much as 2 hours if the temps and humidity are bad.

             2024 Races:

                  03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles

                  05/11 - D3 50K
                  05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour

                  06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.

             

             

                 


            Don't call me Buttercup!

              May 5 - Frederick Half Marathon (first HM ever)

               

              Basic goal - finish upright and smiling.

               

              Really hoping for sub 2:45, but will honestly be happy with sub 3 hours.   If I go more than 3 hours, something will have gone wrong, and I probably will not be upright and smiling at the finish.

              Slow and steady wins the....  wait a second! I've been lied to!
