I always knew I had a sub-2:35 in me, and have not run a marathon since getting that 2 years ago.

It would take serious dedication to go much below that, and as much as I appreciate a good road race, it just wouldn't happen. <br /><br />Brownie - umm, I'll have to check the records, but even with a 90 minute cushion I think I still would have your number this year. <br /><br />Mike - good luck at NF50 and hopefully I'll see you out there. <br /><br />Jake - Yeah, I've looked at CIM for all the reasons you bring up, but early Dec is probably cutting it a bit fine. Hardrock would definitely be a good race for you - get your name in the hat!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07768257304687597320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-15237698686322016282011-09-13T22:05:44.824-07:002011-09-13T22:05:44.824-07:00nick - California international marathon (from Fol...nick - California international marathon (from Folsom to the state Capitol in downtown sac) pulls a strong, competitive field each year ( your time from new Orleans would've placed you 52nd last year just to give you a more accurate picture). Course is fast, temps anywhere from 30-50, usually no rain, and it is Dec. 4. would be great to lineup next to you at tnf 50 if it ends up being a go for you. I think I'm gonna take a chance and enter Hardrock, just too appealing to me. if CIM interests you, you know you've got a free place to crash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-39206215349953650632011-09-13T21:04:13.721-07:002011-09-13T21:04:13.721-07:00Hope to see you at TNF 50 in December.

If it were down to a bet, I would guess that running a sub 2:30 would only further ignite your desire for speed.
