Hi, faithful readers (Ha!). I haven't posted in a while. I'm still running, still coaching for TNT, and things have been going well. A while back I posted my intention to qualify for the Boston Marathon, but I realize now that what really interests me is getting back into ultras. So I'll be doing a road 20k with TNT next weekend, then a half marathon with family in late October, a half marathon with my TNT crew in early November, then it's back to trail races and ultras. My plan is to do my first ultra in January 2008 (probably Bandera 50k, although I know that is a tough race so I may change my plans). My tentative plan is a couple of 50ks, a couple of 50 milers, then Laurel Highlands 70 mile in June, then the Heartland 100 next October. I've trained for Heartland several times but never actually started the 100 (the 50 miler was my first ultra back in 2005). Of course any of these plans could change, but this is my current plan.
So I'll post more in the future about my training. My longest run to date has been 12 miles so I have a way to go, but I've been feeling good and feel like I can steadily improve if I continue consistent training.
If you're still out there, thanks for reading!

Thanks for the post - I just found out about Kiva, I think it's great :) What a coincidence that you're a TNT coach - another great group to be involved with! I run with the Orange County Trail Runners, and many of them run crazy 50 mile ultras, so good luck! I think 50K might be my limit, but I still have to do one of those, so we'll see...
Awesome! You're doing a great job, Marshall. Let me know if you're going to run the Bandera 50K -- I'm debating that one. I might tend to go if I know I could meet a blogging friend there.
Still reading... that's the beauty of newsreaders :)! Best wishes for great training.
