New Year's Eve. I haven't been nearly as regular at blogging as I'd really like to be, but I want to do something more than merely recount each day's workout - that's neither interesting to write nor read, most of the time. We'll see if I can get a bit more regular in 2024.
That said, what did 2023 hold:
10 Marathons:
Dopey Challenge (7:27:07 - ALL of the marathon shenanigans with Laura, Robert, and Jacque; great way to finish out my Perfect Dopey record with the 10th Dopey)
Mesa Marathon (3:15:53 BQ for 2024)
Combos Marathon (3:38:00 -- 3:35 pacer, followed the wrong turn, so ran an extra 1/2 mile, ugh!)
Boston Marathon (3:32:08)
Sydney Marathon (3:54:50 -- terribly hot, very hilly course)
Chicago Marathon (3:21:31 BQ for 2025 -- but surely not a good enough one to use)
Atlantic City Marathon (4:19:53 -- 4:20 pacer)
Marine Corps Marathon 50k (5:29:59 -- 5:30 pacer, VERY hot day)
New York City Marathon (3:42:22)
Dismal Swamp Marathon -- my 70th marathon! (3:52:57 -- lived up to its name with the high heat and humidity; so much for getting a good BQ for 2025, let alone a NY qualifying time for 2024)
Currently, I only have 4 marathons on my schedule:
Mesa Marathon (need to use this for a viable 2025 BQ!)
Boston Marathon (if I can get through the need background check, etc., hopefully I will be able to be an Achilles guide)
Paris Marathon (so long as I actually get the e-mail needed for registering in < 3 weeks)
Marine Corps Marathon (need to choose whether I'll be pacing the marathon or the 50k)
Looking forward to signing up for additional pacing and/or guide gigs during the year.
