No more marathons
This is what I read. Have a Ten Fidy for me. And presumably some kind of congrats are in order.
Love me some Ten Fidy but all they had was most of their lighter ales. So I went with a Pinner.
2nd in age - got crushed by the guy who won the 2014 M60 USTF Outdoor Championships 5000 with a time of 17:23.
Talked to him after the race - said he ran sub 14's back in college.

Boston 2014 - a 33 year journey
Lordy, I hope there are tapes.
He's a leaker!
The way you train, that's not completely out of the realm of possibilities. Not saying next month but at some point, why the hell not.
I believe it might be possible also, in 2-3 years, maybe, if I keep at it... If I do not get injured or simply get sick of it, that's what I'll be aiming at in the future. I'll probably stop marathon training for a while and aim at a 1:26 HM for a two year period. When (if) I can do that, then I'll train hard for a cycle and go for sub 3. It's 6:52 pace for 26.2 miles. It does seem feasible.
But for next month, I still don't know what I'll go for, but I am 100% certain it won't be sub 3 Won't be 3:05 either.
MTA: It is also very possible I don't do well in Boston. One thing I learned around here is that shit happens in a marathon.
6 miles.
Are we there, yet?
I didn't quite make it to the threshold that I consider a long run, but I'll take the 8 miles anyway. Didn't feel nearly as tired as I expected, but I started getting really chilled as the temp dropped at dusk.
