After reading Ted's entry about his accident I can't help but but think about something similar in my life also. I won't go into detail about it though and I will make my entry short today. I ran the best that I could possibly run on Saturday and after running the course I figured out my weak areas and the mistakes I made also. Even though I did not make my Olympic trials qualifier I still feel really happy and extremely pleased with my effort. I don't regret all of the work I have put into this great endeavor. Frank Shorter once said that you are not ready to run another marathon until you have let go of the previous one. I agree, and so I need to go now and start training for PF Changs! See you all at the races..

Steve, great job. I really admire the way you came back during the race. I'm glad I came by you when I did (in that it got you going again). Way to go all out.

Good race Steve. It was good to meet you and put a real face with the Dark Horse name. Way to pick it up and take off when I came up on you and Dave. That was a great finish after a long race. Keep up the good work. Hopefully we'll see you at some more races in '08.

From Cody on Mon, Oct 08, 2007 at 10:28:22

The Dark horse has returned! Great job!

From Logan on Mon, Oct 08, 2007 at 11:01:05

Smoking fast time. It has been a pleasure getting to know you. Keep up the great training.

From Randy on Mon, Oct 08, 2007 at 11:20:39

Steve-O... I am proud of you for going for it, dude! That takes guts. Still a great result. Nice work.

Steve,

Great job and way to go for it. The good news is that you are one step closer to even faster times. I look forward to reading your blog and even running with you more often if possible.

From Paul Petersen on Mon, Oct 08, 2007 at 11:40:24

Great job Steve; nice PR. You've got a lot of good things ahead of you.

From James on Mon, Oct 08, 2007 at 14:58:22

You have had a lot of ups and downs in your life this year, Saturday should be an considered an up. You are very talented and can reach you goals just stay strong.

From Jon on Mon, Oct 08, 2007 at 15:31:07

You ran the best you could run- not many people can say that. Great job! You ran awesome!

As a side note, you win the award for shortest marathon blog entry, especially for a 2:25 guy.

Ashman, the dark horse keeps showing up, great race. Nice to see you at the party. It almost seems like this dark horse has secret powers, X man, or something. Amazing with your ability to keep coming back with great times.

From Chad on Tue, Oct 09, 2007 at 00:36:08

I don't know about the Dark Horse business, you're a consistent threat at all distances. Great job on the PR!!

From Michelle on Tue, Oct 09, 2007 at 00:56:25

Nice to meet you and visit at the party! I'm greatful for any advice I can get, but coming from a speedster like you I'm really lucky! Thanks!

Great job on the PR. More good things to come in your future races, I am sure of it.
