Your experience sounded like Chicago last year for me... <BR/>I know how badly you want to BQ and I know you will - you've done the training and you can do it.

All marathons are tough. Chalk this one up to learning and a tough day. No PR - but it's another marathon in the books. <BR/><BR/>I am little skeptical of your racing again in 2 weeks. Based on your description of the end of you race, I am not sure you'll be able to recover quickly enough. <BR/><BR/>To Sonia's Comment - A word of warning about Vegas - it is terrible. I was there for the half last year. BRUTAL. Don't bother.<BR/><BR/>Heal fast and think about your next move over the next few days.

I don't think you ever missed a run, did you? I'm sorry to hear that the calf cramps got in the way of your marathon goal, and I know how you are probably feeling. Let yourself recover and then give it another go in December. You did great today and I know you are totally BQ ready.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18160923874020552460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30415222.post-21506903657138352052007-09-30T22:51:00.000-04:002007-09-30T22:51:00.000-04:00wow. i'm sorry fran. live to fight another day, ...wow. i'm sorry fran. live to fight another day, eh?? it will be SOOO sweet when the BQ arrives, i can promise that. sighh... feel better.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07307937378956236480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30415222.post-47679268902931793122007-09-30T20:30:00.000-04:002007-09-30T20:30:00.000-04:00Fran,Great job on your second fastest marathon eve...Fran,<BR/><BR/>Great job on your second fastest marathon ever! Not sure if trying for a BQ time in 2 weeks is such a great idea. If you went all-out in this marathon you'll need time to recover. I say go for the December one. <BR/><BR/>Or give yourself a break and try the Phoenix marathon on January 13th. That's a great flat, fast course.Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621971607218955539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30415222.post-31606305150951428562007-09-30T20:15:00.000-04:002007-09-30T20:15:00.000-04:00So sorry to hear about your race, following the pa...So sorry to hear about your race, following the pace bunny came at a cost, that's too bad he wasn't good at consitent pacing. I'm really dissapointed for you but you were so close and a BQ is definitely in the near future! <BR/><BR/>There is also the Las Vegas Marathon on December 2... I think I'm going!! Flights out of Detroit are really cheap right now! But I still need to find a roomie for the hotel, let me know if you're ever interested!!

I figured you hit a patch of trouble cause of the too-fast start. By the way, I snapped a <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yumkerun/1464992420/" REL="nofollow">blurry picture of you</A> on your way up to the final turn.<BR/><BR/>I was actually thinking today that maybe the Toronto International Marathon may be a good one to do. The first 15K is def. downhill and should give you speed without pushing you into LT territory. The last few miles are kinda brutal though.yumkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326728444383668883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30415222.post-25417179008848386082007-09-30T19:04:00.000-04:002007-09-30T19:04:00.000-04:00Hey!
