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.

I understand some of it... but do the pressure and visibility affect your speed? :)

Jon: lmao! nah man I just copied and paste it here... no metereologist lol

How is your training going?

I'm doing good so far so good! I'm not fast I'm working on being fast and I hope it works.

Visibility can at faster speeds.

My training is going well, but apparently not as well as yours...

Sasha- that's especially true in Logan during the very, very foggy inversions. Not so much that the runner can't see ok, but that the cars can't see so the runner has to be more cautious.
