I assume you have done Georgia but, if not, there are
three races here in Savannah and you are welcome here. They are in January and February.
We used to have a very good, fast, and Olympic certified track (on base) but that ended a while ago.
Bob Varsha used to run along with some other fast runners. IIRC the times for about 5-6 years in the late 70s hovered around 2.15 - 2.16.
The benefit of Savannah is it's flat. Potential downside it can be warm, even in January, though the normal weather is pretty marathon perfect.
And congratulations Silk!!! 215 is pretty damn big to be running those times! My father ran a lot in his 30s. He was 128 at his lowest. I think his heart rate was 1.
