AM - 4 Sunrise. Had hoped the time off and easy miles would at least help the achilles... not as much as I had hoped. (Riders 174.75) Big news of the day - wait for it... I did actually sign up for the SGM. I don't know how pretty it will be. But I want one more shot at it. We'll see if I say that come September, or any early morning or when I am trying to run a double in the 115 degree summer. Whatevs... it is what it is. It also showed all 10 of my SGM's and I have an ave. of 2:35:21 - not too shabs considering my 1st marathon was a 2:55; I was sick on one and paced my bro to a 2:47; and one was my first marathon back to running 11 months after a stroke at a 2:42. 4 sub 2:30's and 3 others within 4 mins of that. 2 top 5's, 1 other top 10, 3 top 15's, and a top 20 place. I would call myself a decent mid-level runner. Wish I could have had taken it to that next level at some time in my life, but I truly gave it all I could to get where I was; so I really don't regret anything with my running other than I wish I would have gotten to it a little bit sooner.
