Steve, I completed 49 marathons from age 34 to age 47.. Then the knee's failed.. Struggling to finnish my last driving years now in my fifties...Enjoy every minute of it.. I wouldn't change a thing except I qualified twice for Boston and didn't sign up...my longest was a 41.2 mile run in Tenn, called the Strolling Jim Ultra in May.. Ran it twice.. Very hilly and hot...good luck Steve.. Favorite marathons were Louiseville Kentucky Derby Marathon and the Austin Marathon in Feb..

What, you are going to rethink maybe taking the day off and put in for it tomorrow?

UPSers.com really needs to have the option to be able to put in for personal days from your home computer.

I like this idea and would add that it should include a screen shot of the PDS computer in your center to help you make your decision.

All you would hear in the PCM would be crickets.

STUG-
Get an attorney and file a discrimination lawsuit. (sarcasm)
It seems to be the sign of the times. (not sarcasm)

The funny thing about Boston is, it's never really been my goal. I just want to run fast, and in doing so, I inadvertantly qualify. My next race is Saturday, a 5k, so let's see how i do. After that I have a couple of 1/2 marathon's, a 4 miler and then The Jacksonville Bank Marathon, Dec18th. This one I have a goal for, but I may wait until after to let you know if I achieve it, or not.

Well at least I don't have to worry about massaging you in that ice bath. Whew!!!!

Did I ever tell you the story about the Fox and the Grapes? C'mon now Steve, it's a little late to try and spin that one on us.

I just can't imagine what your secret goal for Jacksonville is....

LOL, I guess I just should have said what my goal is. I want to run a 3:10 or better marathon, as do a bunch of my buddy's. My ultimate goal is to go sub 3, but shhh, I didn't tell you.

 

[stevetheupsguy]

Okay, so i never ran Jacksonville due to an injury. I actually took 2 months of to heal. I'm proud to say that my injury is all healed up and I've been running for 2 months injury/pain free. My Girlfriend and I are on our last few long marathon training runs for Grandma's Marathon on June 16th. Oh, and today I PR'd in my latest 5k and for the fourth race in a row I've won the Overall masters award. 2 times finishing 2nd O/A and 2 times finishing 9th O/A. I'm so stoked to be back and be healthy.

Ran the Dark And Dirty Race last night in Reading, PA. It's a 6.66 mile trail run in the dark through the pitch blackness of woods. 2nd year running this and had a great time as I did last year. Fell once though last night and got a good bit dirty but got right up and kept on going. Only down side was actually being 4 minutes slower than last year since i came in at 1:28 this year.

Good for you Brother, I'm getting too old for that kinda stuff I have a hard enough time seeing in the daylight . A "buddy" of mine is trying to talk me into joining his team for this Tribal Quest 10k and I'm kinda on the fence about it, I'll probably do it but honestly at this point in my life I prefer a straight up race without mud pits and other surprises...

 

[stevetheupsguy]

1 week to go till Grandma's Marathon in Duluth, Minnesota, and my Girlfriend and I are nervously excited It will be Her first full marathon and my fourth. I have been injury free since February, so I'm hoping for a great race. If anyone is close to the race site, please come out and cheer us on.
