My schedule for the Milan #Marathon on April 6th – with a half marathon in between on February 2nd – is ready. 🏃🏻‍♂️

The only puzzle I have left is when I am going to train.
Even though I am retired, I work every winter at our ski resort at the ski lifts. Then the winter goes by really fast. ☺️

So, do I get up at 4am, have breakfast and train before work or after work, eat late and maybe have a bad night's sleep? 🤔

Something to puzzle about.. 😁

Done with 5th #marathon race and 18th marathon run this year: #Seattle Marathon 2024! Official time 3:33:04 @ 8'07"/mi, 1:49 short from my PR 3:31:15! BUT:

1. I got PR in half marathon: 2 sec faster -- 1:41:55 @ 7'46"/mi!

2. This is a much hillier course w/ EG 1,766ft (watch). My GAP is 7'57"/mi, 6 seconds faster than my PR @ #Snohomish River Run w/ EG ~200ft & GAP 8'03"/mi. Had I run that marathon today, I would have scored a faster 3:28:22!

3. Top 9% in my age group! 🙂

Got a late birthday present today: the marathon running rubber duck. I don‘t know what to do with it, but it‘s quite funny. #marathon #Running #RubberDuck

das bild zeigt eine weite, grüne wiesenlandschaft unter einem blauen himmel mit dünnen, weißen wolkenschleiern. rechts oben scheint die sonne hell, wobei sie den himmel leicht gelblich färbt. am horizont stehen vereinzelt bäume, sträucher und einige gebäude. im vordergrund verläuft ein schmaler weg entlang der wiese. unten im bild stehen in weißer schrift die wörter "43,60 km distanz", "4:05:47 zeit" und "5:38/km pace".

Picking up my bib for Sunday's #Seattle #Marathon! The organizer arranged a delicate endurance test for all runners: find your name in an endless sea of other names spread across 7-8 panels -- not sorted in any discernible way!

(luckily #iPhone has OCR built in the camera app...)

Heute vor einem Jahr bin ich meinen ersten #Marathon gelaufen.

@elektrobier
ich kann dir für den #Düsseldorf #Marathon am 27.4.25 einen 10%-Rabattcode anbieten. Die machen dieser Tage aber auch eine BlackFriday-Aktion. https://www.duesseldorfmarathon.de/

Puh - skeptisk on the one side, but on the other side, maybe doable.

My 37th half marathon run today on Sammamish River Trail: 1:42:42 pace 7'49”/mi, approaching my PR 1:41:57 set in that disastrous all-descending Tunnel Vision #marathon a few months back (the first half).

Looking at GAP (grade-adjusted pace) though, that run was only 7’56”/mi vs 7'49"/mi today -- so it's in effect a PR! 🙂

With this run, I'm also crossing 2,000 miles for 2024!

Letzte Runde!

Morgen vor genau 5 Jahren bin ich in New York City meinen ersten Marathon gelaufen. Was für ein grandioses Erlebnis!
Ich wünsche allen, die morgen dort starten einen ebenso tollen Lauf und viel Spaß!

Done! Not as fast as the last full marathon, but I‘m happy with that. Lots of elevation gains and perfect weather conditions combined in a long, but beautiful run. That was fun (until ~36 kms in, at that point I was a little fed up with the last segment of my run which was on the street in contrast to the first 33 kilometers on trails). Yeah, the one-marathon-per-year pledge has been fulfilled once more. I‘ll be back with it next year. #Running #applewatchultra2 #Marathon
