I signed up with Rogue for their 2010 Austin Marathon course. My coach is Charles, also known as, Geezer. Since I turned 60 this year that adds an extra 15 minutes to my BQ qualifiying time which is now 4 hours, and I’ve run under 4 hours twice, but that’s been a few years ago, so I’m considering coming out of retirement and actually running it.
