Oh, well. Same coffee cup award. I try to remind myself that I will be rested before the race and will NOT have water skied for a week or two either. I appreciate the 2 cents!HoHo Runshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986964581984440945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490359525929931012.post-85602922998117262542015-09-25T10:53:11.095-05:002015-09-25T10:53:11.095-05:00Congrats on snagging the master's win!

Here's to some gorgeous fall weather, and the end to summer humidity. <br /><br />I wouldn't beat myself up too much about marathon pace feeling tough in the final mile of the 10K. I mean, you're in the midst of training, and you had that long run the Sunday prior sandwiched between a lot of water skiing. As long as you don't plan to run 21 miles the weekend before the marathon and do a bunch of water skiing, I'd say that last mile of the 10K isn't the best predictor. Just my two cents :)Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02484494180842875733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490359525929931012.post-4444167313024630772015-09-17T08:15:32.586-05:002015-09-17T08:15:32.586-05:00How do you know exactly what to say to make me fee...How do you know exactly what to say to make me feel better?
