Congrats again on a good race under those conditions.<br /><br />Are you sure the doctor didn't say you could have had the "rockin' pneumonia" instead? Since the played "Billie Jean" while you were there, you can be sure the Old Man Rhythm got ahold of you too.. you may have well been on your way to the Boogie woogie flu...Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12896032114134040776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18177821.post-40782238705985248232009-11-08T21:32:16.044-05:002009-11-08T21:32:16.044-05:00What a great day among friends.

I'm surprised about your 9:00 pace early on given your respiratory conditions. 2:06 is still pretty darn repectable, all things considered.<br /><br />Thanks again for your thoughts, prayers and text messages today.Darrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15217970340507557462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18177821.post-37937216768298041202009-11-08T12:53:54.817-05:002009-11-08T12:53:54.817-05:00That's a pretty good time considering you were...That's a pretty good time considering you were sick all week!<br /><br />I've been having a tough time figuring out what to wear running lately. Lack of recent experience, I guess. And yes, I've consulted your spreadsheet a few times! :) My new method is to wear a little less than I think I need and that seems to be working out okay.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10790953201589664954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18177821.post-75460584454174089882009-11-08T12:28:13.932-05:002009-11-08T12:28:13.932-05:00Awesome.

As much as I think I've adjusted to my limitations, it still bugs me on occasion. I really think you were wise, and consequently had a better race and even more importantly, a better recovery from illness because of your decision. You are too smart to mess that up! <br /><br />The shirt thing cracks me up. My advice to you is: arm warmers. They give you the flexibility to start out warm and peel down as needed.Backofpackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13779487553272296752noreply@blogger.com
