28 Days Left

4 weeks from today, I will be running in the New York City Marathon. This will be my forth NYC Marathon in the last 6 years. My goal is to get under 4 hours. I was able to do that for the first time last year. My finishing time was 3:53:42. It has been a disappointing year for me so far in the 2 marathons I've run in. Both Long Island and Yonkers took me over 4 hour to complete. My training for New York City has been strong. The weather where I am is great, so I'll be riding my bike today. It's all about the fundamentals of training. I begin the taper down process as to start saving my energy for the marathon. Finishing the New York City Marathon under 4 hours would be a personal victory for me. Just 28 days remaining before the start of the race. I'm looking forward to it.
