Congratulation...Chris- just looked up your results. Congratulations on a great race but doesn't look like you got the BQ. It looks like a PR though, and a time that anyone should be proud to be able to run. Can't wait to hear the details and I hope you're proud of your run. :)jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14598678568089992654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8738255226402221881.post-53521177230685691982008-05-01T09:22:00.000-07:002008-05-01T09:22:00.000-07:00This is all very normal taper anxiety. The weather...This is all very normal taper anxiety. The weather is just giving you something to focus on, rather than something physical or more race-specific. You'll be fine. Glad to hear the calf is better and the sickness never hit. <BR/><BR/>"For me, this race starts in Colorado and ends in Boston..."<BR/><BR/>Beautiful. You'll do it. That course looks fantastic, but the altitude would hinder me. I've run several marathons with a big drop like that (CIM and Boston twice each) and I didn't find it to be as painful on the quads as I'd heard it would be. It's gonna hurt no matter what, so may as well run fast and get it over with. <BR/><BR/>GOOD LUCK!!! Drive safe and have the perfect race you've trained for.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14598678568089992654noreply@blogger.com
