Garmin KC Marathon Races (October 21, 2023)
Anyone planning to run one of the four Garmin KC Marathon races (5k, 10k, half-marathon, full marathon) this upcoming Saturday? I'm going to be trying the full, which I also ran last year and enjoyed. There were several Bills fans running last year, in town for the Bills-Chiefs game the following day. Might see some Charger fans there this year.

My goals for the race include my 220-pound body not causing any potholes.
My C goal is to finish, B goal is to go sub-5, and A goal is to beat 4 hours and 50 minutes. I set my PR there last year (4:42:36), but I'm about 10 to 15 pounds heavier now. |

Ended up at 5:14:32 and 18th out of 31 in my age group. Not as fast as I had hoped, but I was pleased with how well I ran the back half, where I moved up over 150 places in the overall.

Congratulations! Nice work! I've got my last long training run tomorrow before Salina and I am ready to taper. My ass is kicked right now.

Just had a female friend finish her first marathon in 3:38. I think that's pretty damn impressive. She ran steeplechase in college.
Too many people "run" marathons and think finishing them is some sort of super human feat. It's not. Most are overweight and shouldn't be running anyway. If that many overweight people can finish a marathon, why do people consider it impressive? I could literally finish faster than most of them at a walking pace. Not impressive. |

The KC Marathon has a 6-hour time limit and requires that participants maintain a 14-minute per mile pace. If someone is able to walk that long a distance at that fast a pace, that's pretty damn impressive, in my opinion. |
