Great race, Larry, really happy for you! That's a time you must be really proud of. Maybe slowing down the last week helped your taper, i always find I feel bursting with energy before a race if I have tapered well. Must have been a pretty strong field; with a time like that I would have expected you would finish in the top 10%. Simon.

Great job, Larry! I missed this thread, somehow. Company is keeping me too busy, I guess. PS - DS16 ran 60 miles last week, as his XC coach had outlined for the juniors and seniors to do. He was pretty pooped out yesterday! He's started driving school, also, so he has a lot on his plate.
Hi, everyone. Yeah, I'm back to walking first and stretching very minimally about a mile into the run.

Pray for me Friends! PS: I travel for work all next week, and I will not run again till Saturday when I return.... I think this is just what I need....a good cut-back week to help my legs refresh.
Cheffy progress is not linear-it comes in fits and starts. Sometimes there is a setback because our legs/bodies are changing and something that worked before no longer works. we have to figure out what has changed and how to deal with it before the obstacle is overcome and progress continues. Simon
