You just gave me goosebumps telling me I could have been an OA in that race. It makes me pause and think, “now what am I thinking I can do??? Are you crazy, Flo?” I reserve the right to dumb down my goal between now and race day.

I just had to share and give you a little perk towards making your own half PR. My hubby Chris ran his half this weekend, and made a new PR with a 1:35:something. I know that is what you are trying for, and with all the speed work you do I know you will clean the floor with your new race time (Chris has done very little since he had to shorten his marathon training down due to an injury). Not to mention I was thinking that had you ran the race we were at this weekend I think you would have been a top three women overall (sorry I can’t remember the total for the winner I think it was in the late twenties maybe).
Per some of your posts about your own speed work and race pace predictions he a got the heart rate monitor for his garmin to attempt to understand the whole HR thing for training. I just had to share that your blogging is a great help. It’s nice to know the details of what works and doesn’t work for others.
Good luck with the rest of your training!

1. Are you on Facebook? That way I can pester you in a whole new medium.
2. Can you print custom one off or limited run tech shirts? Or can you recommend an outfit that does? I’m thinking about designing some RLaG-branded shirts.

Jim, lol, you been lurking around RW lately? Speak up and join the fun! Or maybe you do post and are incognito. (h) I gotta say, the guys in the 1:40 thread are so sweet to me (like my blog pals), I totally don’t deserve it.
