I read it a few days ago and my kids were going crazy while I was trying to comment so I just had to get off the computer. <br /><br />Anyway... It's hard trying to PR and race something when it's not your "A" race. Going into a 10K with 8 miles is tough. Next time, maybe you can arrange your long run a few days before or after so you will have fresher legs. I KNOW you could nail a sub 40 under the right conditions.Tiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17865099182609959790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-42549813678737365602012-04-03T12:34:04.309-05:002012-04-03T12:34:04.309-05:00Haha.

And then people gave me a hard time on the blog for whining about my time being lame when I had won the race... Umm, that's just not a winning time!

Sounded a little too crazy to me, so I skipped out on that long run. I decided that I'd rather push myself in the 10K and do a long run later since my marathon that I think I'm going to do isn't until May 6th and I can fit in more long runs before then.Neon Blonde Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16782863353830958219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-53384443845335171542012-04-02T08:51:46.238-05:002012-04-02T08:51:46.238-05:00you are a beast! you're gonna kill boston, su...you are a beast! you're gonna kill boston, sub 3 i think....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-53944823007644748452012-04-02T08:40:33.244-05:002012-04-02T08:40:33.244-05:00I think that was a great race.

But you placed and whether or not you are proud of the time you had when you did it, I think that's still something to be proud of!Kyria @ Travel Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889638304509763419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-52444075004796355162012-04-02T01:10:35.205-05:002012-04-02T01:10:35.205-05:00While you might not be proud of it, congrats on th...While you might not be proud of it, congrats on the 10K win! I know comparing times between people is not good, but the time you just ran with a bathroom stop is basically my 10K PR, lol.
