I'm actually aiming for what you just achieved - a PB followed seven days later by a PW ... yes, a planned PW. I intend to enjoy every last moment (and then some) of the NYC marathon.

At least the scenery was decent (ha!).<br /><br />Good luck in Sacto!Glenn Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05119271602749821767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3308425747877303290.post-10634062609080068662009-09-28T18:52:46.810-07:002009-09-28T18:52:46.810-07:00I think everyone needs one of those races just to ...I think everyone needs one of those races just to keep their mind in check.

Of course you're PW is something I could only dream of even conquering but I'm also 15 years older so that's my excuse. :) Enough about ME. Really it's all relative and it sounds like a sucky race for you. Heat and humidity is a KILLER and especially when you are not used to it. So next one will be even sweeter. You're a good athlete and I'm sure you'll rally. You shall not go gently into the night. That's for certain! :) -- ReluctntrunnerJen Blalockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089186113862270668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3308425747877303290.post-88188901366869260072009-09-28T15:25:15.125-07:002009-09-28T15:25:15.125-07:00You did a great job for the humidity, Shelly.

So all things considered you put up a good fight. We are all human and cant control everything (weather, humidity, sun, delays etc). <br /><br />There is also nothing wrong with your time!! :) You are still faster than me !! The main thing is to look at the race and learn from it - which you seem to have done.<br /><br />I say ROCK ON - what doesnt kill us makes us stronger, so go out and kick some butt.Run2NYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558132730006831641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3308425747877303290.post-13584680122322067212009-09-28T15:00:43.183-07:002009-09-28T15:00:43.183-07:00I think you did OK!
