Only about 2% of runners will finish a marathon in less than 180 minutes (3 hours) After four months of intense training, well at that time (20-25 miles/wk), I ran the Houston half-marathon on January 16th, 2005. It was so grueling, I swore that was it. I'll never do another half, let alone a full. Fortunately a running comrade pushed me to do a full marathon. Rededicated, I set a sub 4:00 hour goal for the full Houston marathon the following year. I trained harder than ever and crossed the finish in 3:59; I was hooked. I've now run 21 marathons and this site is my journal to join that exclusive club of those who finish a marathon in under 180 minutes (3 hours). |

Perspective
Met my new group for a run today.
Mike (42)-three sub 3:10s
Jeff (38)-Multiple ultras, training Tri
Jamie (40)-Marathoner and Tri
They started at 7:00 am, with a 30 mile bike ride. I met them at Mike’s house for an “easy” 6” miler at 8:30. We started off at good pace, quick but I felt I could hold it. At the 1 mile mark they really started to move and left me behind as I couldn’t breathe enough at that pace. I later learned that our 1st mile was a 7:20, and then they averaged 6:50 for the remainder.
With that perspective, my training (treadmill) is going great. Mainly because I’m now the sissy of the group. Nothing to motivate you like being the weak link.
My weight is primo, as I’m now I’ve been motivated to quit cheating. Also doing core work. If I can keep it up with the group, I definitely see a PR once I get a cool breeze.
