I'm running 10k in support of Arthritis on Nov 14. If any of you would like to sponsor me, you can do it here. Thanks for your support for a good cause!

Thanks again for your support, Anna! We had good weather for the run and it was a lot of fun. Garmin says the course was a bit short: 9.8 km in 44:40. So I'm still not quite breaking 45 for 10k - next time!

Glad to hear that.

You are way closer to 45 min if I'm. I have like 9 to take down to it. ;(

Hard work. Hard. But looking forward to it and I know soon.

PS congrats on nice half marathon time.

Cheers

Thanks! 54 is still plenty respectable for 10k, many people struggle to break that 1 hour mark. I am sure you will get to your goals with your attitude.

Nice of you to say so but 54 for its average :(, and its what I got at this point. I haven't start pushing yet, have to watch on my knee. So yes, I'm looking forward to better pace. What is your goal for first marathon?

:)

What is your goal for first marathon?

Right now I'm thinking just finish. If I ran it at my LSD pace it would be around 3:50, pace calculators say I might break 3:30 but that's pretty optimistic for a first marathon. Right now whenever I go much past 20k I'm having a hard time so I need to get the mileage in before I think too much about specific goals. My target race isn't until September.

Right now I'm thinking just finish.

That is the reasonable goal. And the back up goal :) 3.50? Yes?

You had great time on half and I will look forward to have pace goal but you never know what can happen on the race day.

I'm slowly and silently thinking of doing one as well. Have no idea how pavement taste after 19 M. I will give my legs and head a bit of time for it.

13.1 its my new love. Before the first half my good friend told me "to run smart race and there would be plenty opportunity to run fast races after getting some experience" ( he have six marathons all under 3.30 and last one in DC 3.24).

But are we all sooner not later like to see some good time on the clock?

Crossing my fingers and best of luck.

It is indeed commendable to participate in these marathon runs for a good cause and I am sure he must have got the sponsorship that he was looking for!! Seems to be a very committed runner from the posts and he is doing a good job of it for his age, I must say!! Hope he'll achieve his goal in the target race in September!!
