I just really like the last sentence. It really is a sport that just requires you to do the same thing over and over. I hate seeing that get lost sometimes. <BR/><BR/>Thanks Rice. Hopefully they'll come in handy on Sunday.<BR/><BR/>Mike, there's even more to think about when you add swimming and biking to the mix. <BR/><BR/>I just read your last marathon report and I think you did better than you gave yourself credit for. Slowing 4 minutes in the second half is fairly normal. I wouldn't consider that a meltdown. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure the addition of MP runs will come in handy in Boston. 1 month to go!!!Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1142583466002800362006-03-17T02:17:00.000-06:002006-03-17T02:17:00.000-06:00Hey Zeke- nice post...so many factors to think abo...Hey Zeke- nice post...so many factors to think about with running. I was at the other end of the spectrum doing the bulk of my training at a pace substantially slower then MP(probably why i had to focus so hard during my last mary to maintain pace). <BR/>I am working on running closer to MP for the bulk of my running and it seems to be working. Keeping my fingers crossed that it translates to an easier marathon at the next go around!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15074871956216549830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1142551501421152042006-03-16T17:25:00.000-06:002006-03-16T17:25:00.000-06:00great affirmations.

Regarding your comments about marathon pace never feeling 'easy' until race day, I can relate to that. For me MP runs are so hard to do in training, and they are clearly a weakness of mine; it's good that you are doing them. You seem well positioned for Grandmas being about 3 months out.Duncan Larkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04855179236172793367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1142534315315065612006-03-16T12:38:00.000-06:002006-03-16T12:38:00.000-06:00Great article.
