I’ve been checking for a post from you or results since about 11:30 and finally saw the results. I have a feeling it might have been a really rough day as there were not a whole bunch of fast finishes.

Hope all is well with you and that you are already in recovery mode.

All the best,

Bill

Bill: yes, forecast looks pretty good! I enjoy running the rain and the temps are almost ideal. My aim is to running negative splits – first half 1:26:30 with a faster 1:23:29 second half. We’ll see…

Just checked the weather and it looks like it is going to be pretty good after all. Should be low 50′s which I think is perfect and hopefully the rain is going to hold off. I think you are going to have a really good day and I am looking for a half marathon split right around 84:35 with a second half 85:05. Sound pretty good?

Best of luck!

Just got back from a final three miler, so no more running until race morning.

Whatever will be, will be, but I’ll be giving it everything for a new PR. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for the thoughts…

Absoluely no pre-race TESTS at this point! It is a very odd thing, but as you find runners who run faster and faster times they seem to be that much more insecure with their training and preparation. If we were reasonable (or had some level of sanity about our running), we would just accept that we are ready and let the chips fall where they may on race day.

I’ll be tracking you and best of luck on Sunday. There certainly won’t be anybody out there better prepared.

Good luck with your goal. Have fun…

Good luck this weekend – I hope we both have monster races.
