St. Valentine's Update

Yes, I am just over two weeks out from the Napa Valley Marathon. My goal is a BQ, at my age I need a 3:50. I plan on running with the 3:40 pace group, if all goes well I'll kick it in over the last six miles.
Of course, the marathon should be approached with due respect, so I'm not going to get cocky. But I do have the confidence instilled by averaging over 50 MPW for 12 weeks of my four-month buildup. Oh, I did take a three week taper / rest break in the middle to run a PR 1:36:48 half marathon, and a 20:50 5K, my best in several years.
According to a range of performance equivalency tables, I'm good for somewhere around a 3:20 marathon based on those remarks. Well, like I said, I'm going with the 3:40 group and we'll take it from there!

Meanwhile, in real life, I'm having a pop-up Valentine's Day graphic novel sale! Check it out at my website and get yourself some superb graphic novels.
There is Death Plays a Mean Harmonica, my "Oaxaca" graphic novel, as well as my BugHouse and Dog Boy collected works.
