26.2 I am very excited to run the St George marathon next year. I know, there are about 12 ½ months between then and now, but I have a long way to go to and a lot of training to do to reach my goal of 3 hours. The two other times I ran it I didn't even break 4 hours, so 3 hours is definitely a BHAG. That's a 6:52 pace. My 4-mile morning runs this week have been at a blistering average pace of 8:46. I've gotta shave 2 minutes off that pace, and be able to do it for 3 hours straight. No small feat. I also have to lose about 15 pounds, increase my flexibility (I cramped up pretty bad during my previous marathons), and take care of my pregnant wife (I guess I am announcing it). Whew. Gotta do it. 9:56:34 AM    comment []
