If you feel great, you can always kick it at the end, but there is nothing like going out too fast and "walling it" at the end.

You'll have this marathon under your belt and be in really good shape for Chicago. Plus... chasing the BQ is fun no need to rush it(for now at least... talk to me in a couple of years and I'm sure I'll disagree with that statement).<br /><br />Good luck. But you don't need it. Luck is for pansies... training is for runners and you've already done that.<br /><br />Can't wait to read the race report!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574939084120691481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692377326046966823.post-83606266879546645072009-05-21T06:59:28.162-07:002009-05-21T06:59:28.162-07:00Sounds like a sensible plan...I don't want to burr...Sounds like a sensible plan...I don't want to burrow into your subconscious as an unwlecome intrusion but I had the exact same plan for Bayshore in 2007 (including using it as a stage for my actual BQ attempt later in the year at Chicago)...and exceeded expectations by 5 minutes and BQ'ed with a 3:12. <br /><br />And you training times are quite a bit faster than mine were for that 3:12.<br /><br />Best of luck. However it turns out, it's only a matter of time and "which race" for you. The BQ will happen.Nitmoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108597328135023198noreply@blogger.com
