Pfft. Had I know I was this fast, I would've been doing that 10-something pace during the summer, so I could've used reversed logic again and been in the 9's. DAMN, I've wasted this whole cycle. Evil or Very Mad

Wouldn't that have been a heckuva PR to have gone from 13 minute PR to a 9 minute PR? Shocked

Absolutely you can get down to a 9-minute pace.

But how far are you expecting to go at that speed?

As long as the race is 5K, sure! Otherwise, it might take a *little* more time than five days. Sowwy.

Do you think I could get an official finish with a 5 day, 9 minute pace run? And I have no idea what running term "Sowwy" relates.

Mark should get that fixed. Shame a speech impediment can become a typing impediment. Whodathunk?

Besides that negative thinking just won't get you anywhere in life.

I'll work on the 9 minute pace, this week, and see how it feels. I don't want to leave anything on the street, when I finish this marathon!!!

I always tend to run faster barefoot, so maybe this would be a good time for you to ditch the shoes and let your feet fly!

I've run in the Vibrams, but they didn't have wings on them. Which brand have the wings like Dodge...no, Mercury?

Gosh, wouldn't that be just the neatest thing to have ice cream, while running a marathon???

What does the '135' stand for in the name? Surely, it's not the number of people that enter.

The number of miles run. The Badwater RD took offense to this - too bad as I thought it was pretty funny.
