As for your time versus your age, I understand completely, and finally get it this year that while my resume on race times was good, there is no way I can get there again without a miracle, and the best thing to do is be happy with what I can do. I know you'll do great and have a good time getting there! Can't wait to see how you do. We'll have to find somewhere half way (5 hours) to meet up sometime. We probably could run about the same pace and spend the time gabbing the whole time!Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12302710072433158197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117763907544816717.post-27508177125181982192008-05-20T08:47:00.000-04:002008-05-20T08:47:00.000-04:00Hope you had a great Holiday!Rest up this week-get...Hope you had a great Holiday!<BR/>Rest up this week-get plenty of fluids and rest!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13860359512505828586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117763907544816717.post-39350705411190709912008-05-20T07:57:00.000-04:002008-05-20T07:57:00.000-04:00Ottawa race weekend is great!

Its s...Hi Lily,<BR/>Thanks so much for the warm welcome. Its sounds like you will do great in Ottawa next week. I should clarify though - its Hubs not myself that is running the 5 - I am running three races - 2 as a full one as a half. I hope to get a PR in Ottawa too. We are only staying for one night, so it will be a quick trip. My pre-race butterflies have started. Here is my mental strategy - I have a comfortable goal for the first half and then I have a goal time for 25K, 28K, 30K, 33K, 37K. At 37K I am only 5 K away from finishing so I plan to give it all I have at this point provided I stay on pace for the rest of the rest. My advice, do this with the 5hour goal. You may be surprised how attainable it is. I will look for you. I am bib number 3362. Hope to see you there!
