Like at Columbus, I just ran and didn’t look at my time. I’ve become convinced that the way to run a good marathon is to let the pace for the day come to you rather than to force a pace on the day. Proper pacing is critical. Not looking at the time helps me with this.
I am intrigued by this. Many times during my long runs I won't look at the watch, just run by feel. But I guess I'm such a data junkie that I can't help myself during the races. I've often heard the phrase, "Let the pace come to you."
But nevr really put that into practice on race day.
Thanks for this piece of advice, Bill. I may have to contemplate it into my racing.
Nice racing BTW! Thanks for the RR.

I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.
Courage ! Do one brave thing today...then run like hell.
Running out of mistakes!
I didn't get a chance to meet at Holly's...next time. Btw, I'll gladly keep our hills and let you keep your heat!

Holly called me a Sandbagger a few times but I still like her anyway.
Byll - I don’t believe that I forgot your book AGAIN! Please, send me an e-mail with your mailing address again and I will get it out to you this week.
You did a beautiful job of this race, and those hills absolutely did not get the best of you. I am so glad your hamstring didn't prove to be a problem as well. It was a joy to see you and Debbie again nad I truly hope we can do it again soon.
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
