So I cannot believe it has been almost two years since I posted anything to this pathetic excuse for a blog. My last post was in early 2018 as I prepared for the last race I did, a sprint triathlon in June 2018. Long story short, the race was kind of a disaster, and somehow I still snagged third in my age group. Not sure if it says more about me or my age group--and also continues a long trend of placing in my age group regardless of what type of race I have.
Anyway, I have entered the lottery for the 2020 Chicago Marathon. Oh, and my Boston Marathon qualifying time is 3:20, so once again I am going for it. I started running a few months ago, and I literally do not remember running feeling this easy and actually kind of enjoyable. I have been averaging four days a week, 5-6 miles a day, and I have my pace down to 7:19/mile. I have this marathon training plan in my head where I am going to run five days a week and add a second 10-mile midweek long run, which should result in higher weekly average and peak mileage than I have done in my entire life. I am also planning to do more core work to try and stay healthy, and will hit physical therapy as soon as I start to feel the slightest bit injured.
Anyway, that is it for now. I make no promises to update this blog on a regular basis--will just have to see how it goes.
