    @Mari33a I ran my first one almost 30 years ago. I probably signed up 3 times before I actually did it. I ran the Boston Marathon 2 years ago for charity and said that would be my last, but I’m doing Houston in January. They are kind of addictive. If I have a good race and things go perfectly, I have a shot at qualifying to run Boston in 2025.

    @SavageMrsMoose I wish you all the best qualifying!! I'm sure you'll do great. :smile:

    Forgot to log yesterday. Also didn't have much of a chance today to do the 2 makeup rides I have from the weekend getting away from me due to an internet outage taking away my Zwifting capabilities for a few hours. Boo! (Did get in a real short ride outside, though - discovered I have one loose spoke on my rear wheel on my vintage race bike which is giving me an unsatisfactory ride. Got that fixed this evening.)

    Got in the daily ride plus a makeup ride today! Am being silly in Zwift, but sometimes it's the best way to ride. Silliness makes it more fun.

    Hello everyone!

    Got in a little more Peloton... Was feeling really tired the last few days but managed to pull of all the intervals in the class plan and was happy about that! Marathon training will really kick in starting next week, so it will probably be mostly easy miles.

    I forgot to crow here the other day that I hit my mileage goal for the year! YTD, as of today,

    113 rides
    160 hours
    2,043 miles
    128,409 vertical feet!

    Honestly I did not expect to make it, and certainly not with two months to spare! I was sidelined a couple of months with 7 broken ribs, so it was nice to have the motivation to get back out there.

    @billbiggers06 Congratulations!!! Well done, man! Especially with that injury - it's so hard to get moving again after that crap.

    Leisure ride to and from the pool (after doing a 4 mile run this morning), and wrapped up with a 10 mile Zwift ride today.

    @Mari33a That's what I'm trying to do - might not get there, but going to give it a whirl!!

    Was remiss on logging - this is Thursday, Friday and Saturday rides. Did Tour de Plantersville today. Shorter route than I'd normally do, but I had company. Had a great time!

    Zwift opened new routes today. Did the shortest of the Tour of Watopia rides (and rounded up to the nearest mile for extra experience), then did the shortest available route. The graphics are pretty, but not nearly what Makuri Island was when it first debuted. Oh well, they can't all be bangers. :wink: Bonus, though, it's pretty darned flat so if you're a sprinter (which I'm not, but whatever lol) the South Coast expansion is definitely for you!
