It is interesting the placing vs 2009 - I guess the heat is usually a bigger factor.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015544399068863167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-52197373496802250082010-06-23T09:45:40.424-05:002010-06-23T09:45:40.424-05:00Chad,

Have you ever thought of scaling back the racing and mileage a bit, or giving yourself a longer taper? I don't know you, but you you seem to be an extremely focused individual and train intensely, and it may not be in your personality to scale it back (I read your post about painting before Grandma's). But it seems to me like you are in great shape, and may actually benefit from more rest leading up the big day.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16783321531846588695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-51761138065035804082010-06-22T18:13:32.555-05:002010-06-22T18:13:32.555-05:00Fantastic job, Chad!

One thing going for it is that, after finishing 100 miles, the number 26 loses all its mystique.<br /><br />I seem to be the only person who has bad things to say about spectators at Grandma's. I've been heckled every time I've done it.

Congrats on your wonderful Grandma's marathon finish:) I did not see you finish but was watching during that time! Nice work! <br /><br />BTW, I was telling myself...just stay with your pacer...watch the flipping balloons:) At least you were able to hang on to yours!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01016242849142019105noreply@blogger.com
