As I recall, it wasn't too long ago that I was seeking your guidance on CR about how to get under 3 for the first time. With your training, it's just a matter of fine tuning ad tapering right -- you will hit it. You still pursuing the MAJOR carbo depletion strategy? I still haven't gotten that to work for me. I will be at FANS cheering on friends/teammates. Look for signs that say MN RED (Minnesota Running Eating and Drinking). We will definitely need to hook up for a couple of laps -- if you don't mind some company. I usually try to shoot for the early morning timeframe... BTW -- looking at your PRs -- they are kind of soft at distances shorter than the marathon. I am predicting some nice PRs if you decide to race some of the shorter stuff.
