Ventura Marathon

A lot has happened since my last full marathon.

I won’t bore you with the gory details. Here’s the only thing you need to know: I am going to run my fastest feasible pace for all 26.2 miles this Sunday at Ventura Marathon.

Goals

  1. Have fun

  2. Don’t get injured

  3. Sub-4

  4. Sub 3:50

  5. Sub 3:45

Pretty sure I can run sub-4 since this is a downhill course, but I have lost some fitness compared to this time last year, when I ran a 3:58 at LAM. So, though I am hopeful, I’m also realistic. Anything faster than 3:58 is a personal record.

It’s within reach…

3:25am race day update: I’m so tired. 🤣
