Realistically, I think 2h45 would be a great race. I’ll let you know once I have the conversation.<BR/><BR/>Mike, you’re right. I had forgotten that I knocked off almost 2.5’ in 5 weeks. Some rest, higher quality running and adrenaline should do wonders. Less than four weeks!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441387101727202416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722492664490218082.post-66837249811110750822009-03-25T07:29:00.000-07:002009-03-25T07:29:00.000-07:0012 seconds outside your target window doesn't soun...12 seconds outside your target window doesn't sound like too much a disaster to me, especially with the improvement from the last one.<BR/><BR/>You should sound out your coach about re-adjusting your Boston target first.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802380462713592586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722492664490218082.post-35233304709994413862009-03-24T16:50:00.000-07:002009-03-24T16:50:00.000-07:00I'd consider that a very good performance - 2.5 m...I'd consider that a very good performance - 2.5 minutes faster than the last one. That's a nice improvement in such a short amount of time. <BR/><BR/>I imagine you'll have a little extra adrenaline in Boston starting up front in such a prestigious race. If you can harness that, I'm sure you'll set a great time out there.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06747591179607121086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722492664490218082.post-4733133132167531552009-03-24T16:31:00.000-07:002009-03-24T16:31:00.000-07:00you could've used a few more faster runners in tha...you could've used a few more faster runners in that race to push you along--no doubt Boston will have them!<BR/><BR/>Looks like I'll be lucky to catch your draft come Marathon MondayMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349522832625529847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722492664490218082.post-37514589866551915152009-03-24T15:45:00.000-07:002009-03-24T15:45:00.000-07:00Goals to the second but you were close to being on...Goals to the second but you were close to being on target right?
