I ran the Fargo marathon last year (my 1st marathon) My goal was under 4 hours but more importantly to beat Oprah! I beat Oprah but I'm still trying for under 4 hours. I see you ran Fargo in the spring and TC in the fall- TC is on my bucket list of marathons... how is the whole 2 marathons in one year thing? I like the fact that your goal was to beat Katie Holms!

It will be fun to meet you!<br/>Non of my business, but.. a male coach doing "shoulds" on a woman runner makes my stomach churn a little. Seems good to me if you make your own goals.

I think you’ve set pretty good goals outside of the just time.
All too often it’s too easy to get caught up in time/finishing spot and forget the reasons why you do this — the foremost being fun and a challenge (see you previous post!).

If it's fun and you end up uninjured, then it IS a success.<br/><br/>But I hope you're pleased with the time anyway. :-) I love your attitude.
