I ...Congratulations on another awesome performance! I been quit lately, but I continue to read your posts with interest. I commend you for your "tenacity" to run the intensity "that hurts sooo...much!" I may be good enough to run Boston, but I never found the "moxie" to run the shorter distance races at the "hurt-so-much" intensity. That is both physical and a lot more mental talent, which I certainly lack! One last note, I wish when you ran these races, quit looking at the pace Garmin shows on the watch. The accuracy of GPS those or any other watches have cannot yield an accurate "instantaneous" pace or speed in real time. You have to rely on longer distances to get an accurate reflection of just how fast you are running. You run those short stints by "feel" and check the average at mile splits. If your GPS has a "smoothing" function, that might give you a better reflection of your actual pace at any given point/time. Again...congrats...you are doing really nice racing!

You paced really well and had a strong race. I love it when the weather works out, but it hasn't really worked out for me lately. Just gotta keep the faith that cooler days are coming in like, October :).
