nice.

as for the work+training combination, it took me a while to figure out. for me, it seems like competition is the key. that's why i sign up for tons of races. with a race nearly every weekend, there's an endless amount of motivation.

that's why those thursday competitions sound great. compete nearly every week. try to dominate

Jeannie Rice with a 98.7% age grade half marathon at the 2019 Naples Half: 1:38:41 @ 70 years old. She's a marathon world record holder too. 💪



Apparently she was going for the WR, pretty close. About a minute off.

Elliott Mason took a photo with her. She looked *crazy strong* for 70.

"In August, Rice set the Masters American record in the mile, winning the USA Track and Field Masters 1 Mile Championships in Michigan. Her time of 6 minutes, 38 seconds was more than two minutes faster than the previous record.

A few weeks later in September, Rice beat the national record for her age group in the 5-kilometer distance in Naples at the Gulf Coast Runners Labor Day 5K. However, her time of 21:38 is not an official record because the course was not certified by the USATF.

The highlight of the year came in Chicago in October. Not only did Rice run a marathon faster than any woman 70 years old or older in history, but she breezed past the previous world record. Rice finished the Chicago Marathon in 3:27:50 to break the record by more than six minutes."




a local beast I know that took a photo with her:

Stephen Scullion 2018 Houston Half .. 1:03 ish

https://www.strava.com/activities/1356967582/overview

both games were incredible.

too bad there were some epic bad calls in each game at the end. :/

rams/saints pass interference non-call was insane. chiefs/patriots roughing the passer call was ridiculous as well.

will update tmw.

long story short: ran first 4 miles with the elite ladies. ran slow after that. somehow still managed to get 1st in my age group and win $100.

lmao.

naples half marathon!

1st AG (35-39) @ 1:27:17

signed up for naples half!

looks like i'll be waking up @ 4:15 AM tmw...

i wouldn't mind rain/bad weather at all tmw, i just hope it doesn't get canceled because of thunderstorms etc.. that would suck.

if possible, goal is to just try and keep it under 6:05 min/mi as much as possible.. wind could be nuts so that could get derailed.

6:05 min/mi avg is < 1h:20m half. my PR is 1:21:XX on a 1:18 projected half at mile 10, then jogged it out and wrecked the possible sub 1:20. would like to get good at going under 1:20 for halfs etc.

gold.
