It's kind of weird to have energy at the end of the marathon, yet not be able to go any faster cause your calves are trashed. <BR/><BR/>Thanks Brian, Sue and Susan. Susan, I didn't realize you had run Chicago. Yeah, a nice little nap prior to heading to the airport would have gone over big with me.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1161806260539783052006-10-25T14:57:00.000-05:002006-10-25T14:57:00.000-05:00congrats on a very well run race...not to mention ...congrats on a very well run race...not to mention an awesome time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1161805707499315422006-10-25T14:48:00.000-05:002006-10-25T14:48:00.000-05:00Congrats Zeke!

Odd but true. In the end it doesn't matter whether you run 1:25/1:34 because you went out too fast and ran out of fuel, or ran 1:25/1:34 because you made an unexpectedly bad choice of shoes. What I feel disappointed with is that I didn't give myself the chance to hit the normal kind of wall. Somewhat different feeling from when you run out of energy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1161745690194368152006-10-24T22:08:00.000-05:002006-10-24T22:08:00.000-05:00Evan, yeah I'm looking forward to hearing about yo...Evan, yeah I'm looking forward to hearing about your race - even though you probably don't want to talk about it.<BR/><BR/>Alan, the urge never went away.

Too bad I didn't get to meet you out there. Under 3 is extremely good especially in those conditions.
