I'm not broken, but I have been rather busy, which is generally a poor excuse, but, for at least most of the days off, I have had extenuating circumstances.
The marathon is this coming Saturday, and the closer I get, the more I think I'm going to treat it like a training run and just enjoy it.
John, Good luck on the marathon! Top 20 would be great. You should be listed with their elites. Put them in their place. Did you see that Bill Rodgers is running the half marathon?
I just got back from the expo, and Bill Rodgers gave a talk, which was interesting. Jeff Galloway was also there, but I don't know if he is running anything tomorrow. We shall see...
Saw the results. Top 50! Not too shabby. 2nd half must have been a little painful. Been there. A fast marathon is a special jewel to find. Sometimes it just isn't in the cards. Hope you recover well and get back out there to fight another day soon.
As much as it sounds like a cheap excuse, I actually had a blast. I went in with the plan of running the first half at a decent pace (hit the half right at 1:30, I think), and then proceed at whatever pace felt right, which turned out to be slow. In any case, by mile 18 or so, I was in full on ultra-mode, and jogged it on in. I was talking to everyone that passed me, but for some reason, they didn't seem quite as chipper as I did at the time... In any case, I enjoyed myself, and it served as a good training run for Mt. Mist.
