My sub-4 Marathon Goal

Through much of my early and mid thirties, I had this vision of running a marathon... as I got to my late thirties, I decided that I would run a marathon before my fortieth birthday. The day after I turned 39, I ran the Blackpool Marathon. I didn't do it quickly, but on that day I managed to move my legs from the start line to the finish line in in 05:22:10 (5 hours, 22 minutes and 10 seconds). On finishing this race, I decided that I was never going to do that again... ___ We are now 191 days out from the 2027 Manchester Marathon (for which I am registered) and 193 days away from my 41st birthday... My goal in these next 191 days is to achieve a sub 4-hour marathon before turning 41. Sub-4 at forty is my mission!
