1 x ? Whoa! Is that a Hal Higdon thing? He's so demanding!

Thanks guys. So many ups and downs in that 1 minute of training. The sacrifices, the hunger, the drive. There was this part where the road curved and I really questioned if I had what it took. If I belonged. If this was all for nothing. As I write this, dabbing tears from my eyes, I now know that no matter what happens tomorrow, I've won. I'm the champion - not of the road race perhaps, but the race against my demons, my doubters. One day that certificate will be hanging in my great grandson's house, as an inspiration to always give your best.

Very well said. Poetic. Jason D would be impressed.

Nice Job Joe...! Looking forward to seeing you 17:?? tomorrow!

As long as I can repeat my 1-minute workout 18 times in a row, then yes!

Kinda like my 2 fast miles the other day. :-) ...but impossible for me!

I'm going to expose you for the phoney that you are.

From SlowJoe on Fri, Nov 14, 2014 at 13:25:13 from 12.182.148.249

You just did Burt. You just did.

I thought that comment was directed at me ... I was feeling really guilty! :-(

IJR - your fake boobs gave you away a long time ago.
