With the Hennepin Hundred on the schedule, I wanted to find some races that would fit into a training plan leading up to the 100. After some searching, I found what I was looking for. Three races that should fit the bill, each one progressively giving me more time on my feet.
The first one will be in May. I signed up for the Starved Rock Marathon in Ottawa, IL. I ran the inaugural one last year. It was a well-organized race with a really nice course that I struggled to finish in a bit over 4 hours. This was during my left knee problems before my meniscus surgery, so the result was not really unexpected. It wasn't that the time was slow, it just was a hard last few miles. I am figuring that four to four and a half hours will actually be a good training run for this year. With my training starting in February, I should be ready for this.
Tomorrow - Race #2
