Alright, just getting ready to go out for my long run. Would like to shorten it down closer to 22-23, but the loop I'm doing I don't seem to get it much shorter than 24.7. There is one place I could shave off a couple of miles in NE Harbor. I just feel like running 24+ is not much better than 21-23.
As for races. I've added a couple in here. I'll be training through most of these, but will be rested for the marathon.
Bangor Labor Day 5-miler: Sept. 4th. Goal 26:30, Hopefully top 3. Not sure how my legs will feel after the 23.5 miler I did this week. Like to run first mile in about 5:05, and then work on the 3rd uphill mile and be close to goal marathon pace for that. It's a pretty tough mile, kind of like the second one of Machias.
Orono Pie in the Sky 5-k: Sept. 9th Goal 16:15. Haven't been to this one. First mile I think is fast, so I'm going to try and break 5:00, then try to be under goal marathon pace last part.
Bradbury trail 12-miler: Sept. 10th, not racing this, going to run a tempo 15-k before and run the 12 miles to get a long run in. Plan is to run the 15-k around 50-51 minutes, and then run the 12 miles on the pretty slow, but flat trail race is to practice taking water.
Stockton Springs 12-k: Sept 16th Goal sub 40:00, rolling hills, never been to this one. Try to run this as even as I can.
Pumpkin 4-k, Sept. 24th. Goal sub 12:10, downhill course. I think the last time I ran this I ran 11:30 something, don't remember. Mostly flat the first 1-k, then downhill for about 2-k, and rolling the final K. Plan is to run the first K as hard as I can, coast down, then hammer the final K. Work on speed.
Belfast 10-k: October 1st Goal 32:30, flat course, new course. Plan is to run as even as I can.
MDI marathon: October 15th Goal 2:27
After that I may do the Brewer Turkey trot if I have the day off, would be day before I turn 40.
Midwinter 10-miler in February of 2018. Goal is to break masters course record which is around 55:19.
March, US 50-k Championships in NY. Goal is to win masters division and be in top 3 overall.
Sugarloaf marathon in May.
Cabot trail relay, May
Beach to beacon, August, going for top Maine master. This year time was 33:08. should be good race.
