As usual, there’s gonna be PRIZES… you can 2 pick from these:
Recent:
Grete’s Great Gallop on October 5th in 1:44. Staten Island Half on October 12th in 1:43.
Marathons:
My PR is from Berlin 2012: 3:27:44, the last marathon I did was Boston 2014 in 3:49 and NYCM 2013 in 3:49.
Running Calculators!
the jackdaniels calculator says the SI half 1:43:39 gives me a 3:36 marathon
the macmillan calculator says the SI half 1:43:39 gives me a 3:38 marathon
the runnersworld calculator says the SI half 1:43:39 gives me a 3:36 marathon
I’d add a few minutes to those as those estimates are for a flat marathon.
No PR this year! I am guessing between 3:39 (my A Goal and a course PR) and a 3:46, because I did NYCM last year in 3:49 and I am in a bit better shape this year.
GO ON! Place your bets below!!! Good luck to us!!

Recent:
NYC Half, 13.1, March 2014, in 1:50:10, average pace: 8:25
Scotland 10K, April 2014, in 47:41, average pace of 7:42
Marathons:
My PR is from Berlin 2012: 3:27:44, the last marathon I did was NYCM 2013 in 3:49:34. My last Boston was in 2010: 3:51: 21
Running Calculators!
I am sure I won’t PR, get that out of your heads!! Goal A is to stay under 4 hours (never gone over 4 hours and don’t want to start now!) or, Goal B, break the course PR (3:51). I would love to shoot for 3:50 but I did 3:49 in NYCM and I was better trained there. I am just hoping I can stay within 4: anything between 3:50 and 3:59 is more realistic if the weather cooperates!
GO ON! Place your bets below!!! Good luck to us!!
