Albany Marathon



As you can see form the countdown that I’ve add to the right hand column I’ve got less that 80 days till the Albany Marathon. That is less that 12 weeks of training left for this race. I have not registered for the race yet but I plan on doing it before the price goes up on January 1st. This will be my 5th marathon and my 3rd time for me to do this race. I’m hoping to improve on last year’s time of 4 hours and 35 minutes.

Yesterday I ordered a new pair running shoes (Mizuno Men's Wave Alchemy 9). I’m hoping to get them in before Saturday morning’s 18 mile run with my running group, Albany Run Walk. The shoes I’m running in now are worn out. I’ve training / racing in them since the summer and I’m starting to get blisters all over my feet. So hopeful a new pair of shoes will get me through my the marathon.
