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.

Running on tired legs had to get the workout out of the way !

Ha....Ha... I though if I made my entries early enough in the morning I could stay ahead of you on the milage board. :) Just kidding...It's silly for me to compare anything about my running to yours.

That saying from Christopher Reeve is so true...Go capture your DREAM Benny...!
