The heat really suck it out of you fast. But still, way to go! Plus, you can't beat the coolness of the date that you got to run it on. Congrats on yet another medal and another race!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870882429676385594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7584982878804667025.post-68884635415978503382010-11-01T06:49:49.238-05:002010-11-01T06:49:49.238-05:00Mike: The heat sucks dude - that is all there is t...Mike: The heat sucks dude - that is all there is to it. The rule, on average is to back off your race pace by 20% in such conditions; tough to do when you want to PB.......none-the-less, like you said, you have the medal and T-shirt, so there!! Let's promise to pursue a race that we can do together - I would really enjoy that. Oh, and another thing - I am looking forward to spending a race weekend with Di as you did........that will truly be special for me as well as for MJ when we are in Boston. Here is a little story - hope that I haven't told it to you: I trained a fellow from California who is a crazy runner, ultras, 100 mile trails, Boston three times, you name it and Brian has done it. Anyway, I mentioned to him that my aunt of 82 will be joining me in Boston and that I was really excited about that. He then told me of his Dad who accompanied him to Boston two years ago was 85 at the time. That year, they had the inaugural 5k run the day before the marathon; his Dad expressed an interest to "run" it and so the two of them entered. Nearing the finish, his Dad was followed by police cars with sirens and lights going, the crowd was huge, all were cheering him as he crossed the finish line as the last participant but the winner of best time for his age group!! That is what it is all about my man - show that medal off........talk soon. ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
