Observations from my two perfect races (marathon and half-marathon).

I’m trying to find the right balance between staying humble (there are many better runners!) and proud (I still can’t believe how much improved in the last couple of years).

In October 2021 I ran my first sub-three-hour marathon (read here)

In February 2022 I ran a sub 80 minutes half marathon (read here)

In both races, I overshot my goals.

I will try a 2.45–2.49 marathon in Chicago later this year.
