BayState 2023

I've entered the 35th Annual Baystate Half Marathon.  It will be on Sunday, October 15th this year -- about 3 months away.

It seems my hamstring has recovered over the last 3 months to the point where I can begin to think about ramping up mileage again.

Working three days a week has turned out to help with strengthening the legs more, so the idea of trying to meet or exceed my 2021 Baystate Half performance in Lowell later this year will be a good goal.  The race in 2021 went well.  I placed 1st out of 16 in my AG with a 9:08 pace for 13.1 miles.  I'll be 2 years older then and it will be slightly tougher since I am still in the same AG.  The time to match will be 1:59:34.
