run a marathon

I am going to have to put this goal on hold for now
It is taking me a lot of time to reach 2 hr runs, so there is no way I’ll be ready for a 4 hr effort in a few months
Perhaps next year

Golden Hills Marathon – Oakland hills
10/13

Running well until Thanksgiving, then the wheels come off
I have tried to ramp up my training for a long planned Oct trail marathon without success
Now I step back and try to establish a thorough base with great attn to nutrition and hydration
I’ll get there just don’t know when

In Nov 2009, I set a goal of running a marathon in 2010
But now at the end of Aug, I can only run for an hour
Well, it will come, but its obvious that it will be next year
Still set on this goal
