It's so flat compared to Central Park that your legs don't know what to do.<BR/>7. Perfect splits? I think you'll only get those on a treadmill. Sorry Lam.<BR/>10. Not sure how long I can keep up with you on our runs. You would smoke me in the first mile.<BR/>12. I think he forgives you. Remember: he didn't have a marathon sticker on his back.sRodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02970952645043027136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956756870207703825.post-47355643291686772112008-05-08T13:53:00.000-04:002008-05-08T13:53:00.000-04:005.

When it starts getting tough for me, I always imagine that my brother (also a runner - and a MUCH faster runner than me) is running next to me, keeping me going. You've got to find your happy place.<BR/><BR/>10. Hell yes you're fast!!<BR/><BR/>13. It was a great race report! Running really is a string of random thoughts...I'll have to try your technique for my next race report.MissAllycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08592169104612466313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956756870207703825.post-24278306849404818142008-05-08T10:01:00.000-04:002008-05-08T10:01:00.000-04:00Dude, you are hard on yourself (which is probably ...Dude, you are hard on yourself (which is probably why you are a terrific runner). Work on pacing? Outside of mile #1, you were between 6:38 and 6:53 for every other mile and 10 of those 13 miles were between 6:38 and 6:46. I don't think you could get more consistent unless you have a cruise control feature somewhere on you.<BR/><BR/>Negative splits would be a worthy challenge but, really, you're far outside my area of expertise.Nitmoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108597328135023198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956756870207703825.post-55135099135734630592008-05-08T01:57:00.000-04:002008-05-08T01:57:00.000-04:00I agree with Jamie. :) As for the pacing and leg t...I agree with Jamie. :) As for the pacing and leg tension I think that's always a great thing about races: setting more goals for the next time.<BR/><BR/>Reminder: thank your creative writing teacher because that's such a great idea!
