Anyway, enjoy your next 6 weeks off. You deserve it!Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-56631497116576103292012-11-16T21:11:42.599-08:002012-11-16T21:11:42.599-08:00Love love LOVE the pictures, as usual.

The recovery time is EXTREMELY well-deserved, though. And hey, I can barely bike a 5:30 mile, let alone run one. =)emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-12249698561612008102012-11-10T19:13:49.928-08:002012-11-10T19:13:49.928-08:00Holy Moly! 5:30 min/mile?!

Hope you can get up to 30+ miles a week soon. Your pictures of the lakefront are so gorgeous! Makes me miss running on the lakefront.

Im currently struggling with completing 3 mile runs lately... (and it's all mental)<br /><br /> Take a break! You deserve it- especially since you'll start training for Boston in the next few months.<br /><br />Lovely photos!Xaarlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09103441780159368391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-51206962888964157152012-11-09T16:38:47.592-08:002012-11-09T16:38:47.592-08:00a 5:30 mile is pretty close to elite.

I am still at the "just finish and don't die" caliber. But i definitely am feeling more worn out post Dublin than any other race. I am glad to have the next 6 weeks to focus on recovery - i could not imagine racing any distance right now!Ginger Foxxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714780032240801638noreply@blogger.com
