Does it get cold enough in Texas though?<BR/><BR/>Thanks Sara. It's pretty cool when you know you'll pass under the finish clock and it'll still have a "2" as the first digit.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1161995536607747482006-10-27T19:32:00.000-05:002006-10-27T19:32:00.000-05:00Great pics!

She's a perfect example of what I was talking about in this post. She went out in 1:23 and came back in 1:36.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1161754950699729562006-10-25T00:42:00.000-05:002006-10-25T00:42:00.000-05:00Catching up on your blog here.

I like that victory post in that pic- that's gotta be a great feeling knowing you are going sub-3. BIG CONGRATS!<BR/><BR/>Who is the fast chica running in front of you?

Some people can be in 3:10 shape and run 3:10, some need a little cushion. <BR/><BR/>3:05 is "only" 7:00 pace. You can do that.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1161740050555124002006-10-24T20:34:00.000-05:002006-10-24T20:34:00.000-05:00Thanks D!Chelle, I was doing the "that means I nee...Thanks D!<BR/><BR/>Chelle, I was doing the "that means I need to be in xyz shape" calculation too - but I was using a half marathon. I figure I need to double my half and add about 12 minutes, so a 2:55 would actually require me to be in 1:21:30 shape. <BR/><BR/>We've got work to do!!!Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1161739845918487652006-10-24T20:30:00.000-05:002006-10-24T20:30:00.000-05:00Where was the olive oil tip before IM WI? =)Hmm, s...Where was the olive oil tip before IM WI? =)<BR/><BR/>Hmm, so I should shoot for being in 3:05 shape, yikes...qcmierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01993355080112850236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1161731778065509762006-10-24T18:16:00.000-05:002006-10-24T18:16:00.000-05:00I'll have to remember that olive oil trick.

I committed myself to being in 2:58 shape this time around to give myself a little cushion and I think that really helped. So that means to make the B standard, I need to be in 2:45 shape??
