2022 plan

 2022 has started badly for physical races due to ongoing 3rd wave(omicron) of the pandemic. For the 2nd consecutive year Tata Mumbai Marathon is not being held on the usual 3rd Sunday of January. The 2021 edition did not happen. Hopefully the event will happen later this year. I am planning to target my BQ in 2023 at Delhi and towards this was keen to run the event this year to get a feel for the flat course and the weather. However the event has been postponed from its scheduled date of 27th February. I am now training to run in the US in May as part of a 4-5 weeks holiday there(pandemic situation allowing). The two marathons that I am looking at are the Potomac River Marathon in Washington DC on 1st May and York YMCA marathon and half marathon in York, PA. Both of them are small marathons with less than 1000 runs and both are mostly trail. Of the two York seems slightly better  - however it will be in the middle of the trip and so the legs wont be as fresh. Still I am leaning towards and will target a sub 4:15 time. Other than this the year is pretty much open ended. Assuming races restart  I will target a sub 4:05 in one  towards the end of the year.
