Congratulations to Todd and Curt, great running. I spoke with Luther briefly today and he said the same thing to me we all seem to say after an important race, "it could have been better." I am not trying to call out Todd, I find it amusing and it is something we all do. So it leads to my next question, are we in trouble if we ever reach the point that an outcome exceeds our expectations? The bottom line is we are a little crazy if just not completely insane to do what we do, but I wouldn't change it for the world.
This was a good week. My running feels strong and comfortable. Something happened to me after my 14 mile run that has never really happened before. I recovered in a couple of hours and had no soreness the next day. I believe the strength training and massage are paying off, not to mention the smart running miles. One problem, no happy endings.
Good luck to Storchie next weekend in New York, no doubt he will catch the Kenyans. Run monkey boy, you can do it.

It is never enough, it is never good enough, and it is always satisfying which is a strange contradiction.
Yes the outcome does sometimes exceed expectations. You will know it when it happens.
Are you insane? Yes.
David unless you are running a marathon soon stay in a holding pattern where you are with your running. No need to go further right now. You will have a great base to zoom into CDA training.

Well Todd thanks for that.
With something like this, you will always find ways to push yourself further. Until you are the overall winner of the Boston or NY Marathon, I think it's pretty easy to keep finding goals to reach for. That is what keeps you going.
As for me, I just want to finish the damn 1/2 Marathon under 3 hours...with the understanding that I leave the course under my own power and not on my back.
cheese, no worries you will have a fun day.
