Good job making it your bitch though and rocking a PR and BQ! <br /><br />I hear you guys are heading to KZoo in a couple weeks for the Borgess run! Hopefully the wind is absent that day.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02166924188110467828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692377326046966823.post-34662839989078526282012-04-24T13:01:53.761-07:002012-04-24T13:01:53.761-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.ihaverunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12353024020794141387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692377326046966823.post-15626234708571463362012-04-24T13:01:50.224-07:002012-04-24T13:01:50.224-07:00What I wouldn't give to spend the race in your...What I wouldn't give to spend the race in your head.

I only ran 8 miles and still felt very violated in that wind...and that was so much earlier in the day when it wasn't as strong yet.<br /><br />At any rate, thanks so much for your hospitality this weekend. It was a most fun trip and I learned so much about running, life and sports in Michigan from you.<br /><br />As surely as there will be Lansing Marathon V2, I'll be back to reclaim my marathon medal. In fact, that might have been the primary incentive behind my DNF...so I'll have an excuse to come back!<br /><br />At any rate, congrats on the PR and the BQ. Take care of those blisters and the bottomless candy bowl and Iook forward to running with you soon!The Laminatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171521739644023071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692377326046966823.post-54007108408810728372012-04-24T04:34:37.180-07:002012-04-24T04:34:37.180-07:00Congrats again on the BQ and PR!

And thanks for putting one of those notes on the precise spot where my daughter works safety patrol each day. She will literally be standing on it. Fortunately, I don't believe she knows what a Nitmos is.<br /><br />Great run into unpleasant conditions. I was glad to not be racing that day!<br /><br />Aging has its privileges...if you just maintain speed at this point, you'll BQ forever.<br /><br />Now, does your blog go dark for 4 months until the next race approaches?Nitmoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108597328135023198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692377326046966823.post-20240215083019511532012-04-23T10:26:18.850-07:002012-04-23T10:26:18.850-07:00Look up the wind mph for the day, and run some cal...Look up the wind mph for the day, and run some calculations for the miles against the wind. Calculate out time loss to drag factor (ignore those wind at your back miles), and you'll probably have your 3:05. <br /><br />Man I'll be good at excuses when I'm a real runner someday.Vaudiophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120467461814379463noreply@blogger.com
