      I have several races coming up for the first half year, as listed below.  All targets are my wishes, Smile  Will be back to udpate the results.

      1. 01/16, Charleston Marathon, sub250?
      2. 03/06, ShamRock and Roll 5K, sub17?
      3. 03/20, NYC Half, sub116?
      4. 04/18, Boston Marathon, sub240?

        Thanks, Mike.

         

        1/31 - usatfct indoor champs, (mile) new haven, sub 5

        3/6 - shamrock 5k (see you guys there!), <16:30

         

        then the rest of the Grand Prix races, and probably some others sprinkled in, but not finalized yet and too soon for goals.

        Come all you no-hopers, you jokers and rogues
        We're on the road to nowhere, let's find out where it goes

          01/09 - Snowstorm Classic 10K  (Forest Park, Springfield)

          01/23 - Snowstorm Classic 10K

           

          No time goal for these two 10K's because my goal is just run my best.  Barring a problem, a PR (42:16) in the first one should be a lock.  I think my 10K PR is my softest.

           

          Also,

           

          02/27 - Colchester HM, beat last year's time (1:39:39)

          03/19 - Savin Rock HM, PR (1:32:50)

          06/18 - Patriot Half Iron, no time goal, my first 70.3

          08/21 - Ironman Mont-Tremblant, sub-13 hours would be nice, but the goal is to finish.  My first 140.6

           

          Plenty of other races will get mixed in but these are the definites.  I am hoping to find a way to mix in a fall marathon but the schedule isn't lining up in my favor.

            Hi Kevin, finally I will meet you in person.

             

            3/6 - shamrock 5k (see you guys there!), <16:30

              Hi Kevin, finally I will meet you in person.

               

               

              Yup, I've met the other two knuckleheads on this thread, so it'll be great to meet you too.

              Come all you no-hopers, you jokers and rogues

                Looks like we'll be running into each other a lot - I re-signed with my USATF team again, as well.

                I'd say don't take it personally if I'm cheering for guys in green to pass you near the finish, but we both know there's no way I'll even be close to the finish when you get there Smile.

                  yond, I'll see you there as well.

                  Baboon, you should come down too !

                    Nice. Let's keep in touch before the race.

                      Heh, I did 24 races in 2015.  I need to cut back on that.  Race, recover, race, recover, repeat, repeat gets physically and mentally tiring.

                        I registered Old Wethersfield 10k too before the price goes up.

                          01/09 - Snowstorm Classic 10K  (Forest Park, Springfield)

                           

                           

                          41:39.  37 second PR.

                           

                          It was a pretty flat course except for the big focking HOLE in the middle of it.  I suck at hills and my legs didn't recover from it.

                              Nice work Bab !!

                              That's one hell of a drop - do you run the same course each time they have this race ?

                              Hold the Mayo

                                56:10 for the Kelley's Pace 5 Miler, and 46:49 in a soggy messy monsoon of a run for the Morris Marsh Point 4 miler.

                                So 50 seconds under guess for the first race, and 49 seconds over for the second.  Overall, 1 second under for the weekend.  Heh. I'll take it.

                                 

                                 

                                yond  - Good Luck in SC this weekend !
