Seattle Marathon
I've decided officially to run the Seattle Marathon. And looking at training programs I say to myself, how quaint, a marathon training program. What? No bike and swim to fit in with that running? I chuckle with contempt. What's so hard about that...I'll report back with my various physical ailments. It feels good to be committed to a training program. After a bit more exploration, I will post my plan. Thus far, I suspect I will max at 38 miles with three weeks to go and will have a goal of 4 hours 30 minutes, which would be a PR and pretty ambitious and possibly unrealistic. But we'll start there and see how it shakes out. My knees are a bit achy having done no training, so no doubt they will loosen with a little running combined with a nice weight program.

Awesome. When is Seattle?
4:30 is my dream goal but since I've sworn off marathons I probably won't ever reach it.
Can't wait to read about your training. Maybe we can ever fit in a couple of runs sometime.
P.S. I had Hermiston melon. Tasty.
4:30 is not a very realistic goal for me, but it's nice round number. My first Seattle Marathon, which remains a PR, was 4:37.
Marathon is November 29.
