I've sent email to Bob Glover and told him I'm doing the NY marathon, so
having given him my word, I'm irreversably in. I don't really care for setting
time goals since I just want to get a result on the board -- but I'll need to
have some idea in order to pace myself. I'll be using the upcoming Staten Half
to gauge where I am.
At the end of the day, I decided that the real reason I haven't yet run a fast
10k time this year is because of poor planning -- I didn't have a good
understanding of how the New Jersey racing schedule works, so I didn't enter
the right races (there were 3 premium 10k NJ races in Spring, I entered none
of them). This resulted in both missing some good races and entering a
poorly organised race (long course, wrong times. My official time is 39:30). I
don't think botching my 10k racing schedule is a good reason to skip the
marathon. I'm still hoping for a good run, sub 37 at least, at the Joe K in
December.
Cheers,
