I am guaranteed to run my fastest marathon. Beyond that there are no guarantees.
"What time do you think you will run ?" is one of the more popular question that I get when people learn that I am training for my first marathon.
Obviously goal #1 is finishing without needing help from emergency medical personnel. My somewhat conservative goal is under 4 hours. My stretch goal is 3 1/2 hours. If I can get closer to the 3.5 hour mark - I will consider that a victory.
My Uncle Gary threw the gauntlet down in a comment he submitted to an earlier post when he stated his marathon best is 3:41. So that has become my target.
I ran 13 miles this Saturday and felt pretty good. It was another great weekend to run in New England and all the snow is now gone - so running is no longer as dangerous to my well being.
You will be able to track my time on the BAA website (www.baa.org). I am runner 20612.
