That would be a great accomplishment! Right now I would need a 3:30 marathon for my age group, but next year the requirement drops to 3:25! Yikes!

Today is an off day, though, and I have PT, so hopefully we can keep it in check. Last night did a 5 mile run, working the hills hard, finished about 39:20.

bpsymington Topic Author Away 11^th Level Supporter Follow me on Instagram @runningboardgamer Posts: 15939	Saturday I did my long run, 8.5 miles in 1:06. Sunday was the Santa Monica Classic 10K race - I ran a pretty steady and quick pace, averaged 7:08 minutes per mile. Finished in 44:19, and was in the too 100 finishers (83rd)! Psyched! Yesterday did a 6 mile hill workout in 48:07. PT today, but knee feeling better. Follow me on Instagram @runningboardgamer Awesome avatar by Mauve Shirt!

Brian - I am very impressed by the way you re sticking to this.

If it was me (assuming I had the initiative and got into physical shape to run a marathon) I would be all gung-ho for the first half year, stilll dabbling with it a bit by the end of the year, and have dropped it in favour of some other shiny hobby or activity the next year.

Way to go!

Got a late start last night - I was trying to get the computer and the printer to talk to each other wirelessly, like they used to, but I rolled a 1 on my tech skills check and failed. Might have to reinstall the printer software.

Anyhoo, b/c of the late start, I passed on the speedwork and ran 5 miles in 39:55, barely under 8:00 minutes per mile. Interesting to run after sunset - different views, different crowds. Felt pretty good!

The tickets were sold out, but I asked the guy running the event if I could run one day if I volunteered for the other day (It's held on both Thursday and Friday mornings). Should be fun!

I am about an hour north and would love to take you to dinner or hook up for to geek my wife out and trade TD tales. If you are brave, I can even take you to my brother's Kettlebell and Crossfit gym in Dover, NH. Tinker, Gnome, Wizard, DIE!
