As we all look forward to this new year that has just begun, and some people take up a "2025 challenge", it's time to take stock of the year that was:
January: 184 mi
February: 135 mi (including Mesa Marathon)
March: 202 mi
April: 155 mi (including Coast Guard and Boston Marathons)
May: 191 mi
June: 186 mi (including Jack & Jill Poconos Marathon)
July: 219 mi
August: 209 mi (including Marathon Pour Tous @ Paris Olympics)
September: 210 mi (including Erie & Air Force Marathons)
October: 227 mi (including Army 10-Miler, and Atlantic City and Marine Corps Marathons)
November: 209 mi (including Harrisburg Marathon)
December: 200 mi (including Space Force T-Minus 10-Miler and Palm Beaches Marathon)
Not too shabby: 2327 miles on the year, and seven pacing gigs (those in bold) within the various races run.
Off to a good start, having put in two different 6-mile sessions today. The first in the morning (amid some nasty wind) practicing a very-slow-for-me pace so that I can be successful at pacing the 4:50 group at the Miami Marathon in a month. The second simply doing the pre-set workout as part of my training plan for the Little Rock Marathon, where I'm shooting for a 3:15 or better, so I can improve my usable BQ for 2026.
And I am currently set to run approximately 11-12 marathons this year - most of them as a pacer. Looking forward to the challenges!
You have a very impressive tecord
