Goals for 2019 (updated June)

Given a generally successful 2018, and the fast Marine Corps Marathon, my goals for 2019 are:

  • Exceed 2000 training miles (on track)
  • Qualify for the Boston Marathon (3:35:00 or less time) with a buffer of 5 minutes (3:30:00) (partially done, qualified, but buffer was only 1 minute)
  • Target 3:25:00 Marathon for Chicago (i.e., train over summer, even if don't hit 3:30:00 in spring) (just starting)
  • Coach for a Striders session (done)
  • Run outside in the fall

B&A Half March 2025

 60 degrees - overcast Singlet Vaporfly 1 Path Shorts 5 gels, used only 4 1 flask No fueling issues.   No issues with water.  Had over 1/4 left. Thought was on pace per the watch.  In the end, was 6 secs off based on the watch (7:21 vs. 7:27). Felt good throughout the race.  Manageable, not like the marathon in the fall. Hill was difficult, but manageable. Miles after the hill was significantly better than the prior run on this course.   Think I could have paced at the actual target of 7:21. Reset watch from 1.041 to 1.0 calibration.
