In high school, I was an slightly overweight , badly asthmatic J.V. cross country runner. I enjoyed being part of the team but never excelled. The summer after my freshman year in college I decided to run a marathon. 6 weeks later I ran a 3:11 at Grandma's Marathon in Duluth (1991) and I was hooked on long distance running where my asthma wasn't as much of a factor.

Did a blind marathon interval workout (no looking at GPS watch). Wanted to target 6:45 +/- 5 second pace. First quarter was at 6:10 pace , whooops. After that I did one more quarter and 5 1/2 miles, and they all came in within target range. The last one was right at 6:45 pace.

My goal is to do the first 20 at 6:45 pace and then give it all I have for the last 10K.

race went pretty much according to plan. that never happens. Wanted to stick around 6:45 pace and then push it in on the last 10K. The first part went well but there wasn't much "pushing" it in. I did do one 6:30 mile for mile 22 or 23.

19th marathon and 7th time doing the huntsville marathon.

Not a PR but I didn't really put in the training to expect one.
