Honored to be a part of that.<BR/>We got "participation" certificates for Chicago.. along with the fat book listing us with the participants. Wow!<BR/>I still think it was sort of amazing to be a part of history.

So you've got that one down.<BR/><BR/>If you don't already, try doing 100metre striders during one of your routine aerobic runs. You run at a very quick pace (not quite sprint) for about 20 seconds. Do this from 6 to 8 times with proper recovery. This gets you working on quick leg turnover and teach you speed. I found this kind of workouts sprinkled in a run helsps you on race day and will give you a finishing kick when you're tired.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the trail advice. I haven't done a lot of them and have found osome online sources. Gonna start plotting my next long run in DC.yumkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326728444383668883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331213685542630258.post-52105664331131852542008-05-23T05:29:00.000-04:002008-05-23T05:29:00.000-04:00Love strategy... sometimes it is fun to stop focus...Love strategy... sometimes it is fun to stop focusing on times and splits but focus on racing someone and seeing how even in a short race like this a race plan can be pivotal to success. <BR/>Great race although the time goal was not reached.<BR/>Have been absent from the internetworld for a while, will be catching up on your training and racing, hoping things are going great for you!Tomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10254917745446389844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331213685542630258.post-63198703758839732942008-05-22T23:47:00.000-04:002008-05-22T23:47:00.000-04:00I just can't relate.
