Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to accomplish my short term goals first... Once I do that, I will have an idea of what to expect long term... 44 yrs old now and since I've been injured free for 1 month I am jumping back on marathon training. Any recommendations for a good marathon in December 2021? What is your recommendation?

Personal:

Don't knock it until you try it.

Benny...YOU are going to find me annoying...BUT I was just telling Sam...I firmly believe that you MUST believe in yourself..This is how you will succeed...that and Be oblivious to pain..haha..Let no doubt enter your mind...Your focus is only positive. You have a goal..That is all you see.

running is a mind game!! i need to defeat my mind... the physical makeup I got! It's just convincing the mental...part...

You gotta psyche yourself up...Pump yourself up...tell yourself that you are a beast and you are going to win and you don't care how bad it hurts! If some lucky guy wins this time..It will be his last..because you are going to conquer! You gotta let it boil inside!!! Think of that guy trying to take your finish!
