I do worry I'll never get close again. But this has to be done, and to see you running times like that after your own step-back is encouraging to the rest of us.Terzahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617301871875902162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-81101656747492347112012-03-16T15:15:15.569-05:002012-03-16T15:15:15.569-05:00Awesome!

You are talented Jim, very talented and I am glad that the speed is starting to come back. <br /><br />BTW - my best friend Julie that I train with is your exact same age and her marathon PR is 3:08, she is going for sub-3 at Boston. You should use her as fuel to feed your competitive fire. ;)<br /><br />If you can run 1:25 there not a single doubt in my mind you are capable of sub-3.Rachelle Wardlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05924064419764851273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-22989216648918794162012-03-16T14:07:57.705-05:002012-03-16T14:07:57.705-05:00Your persistence will pay off.

The thing I noticed was that I am much slower with those shoes. It is frustrating. Now that I finally made progress with my pace I go and buy these shoes! BUT it does help with form even when I use my other shoes. <br /><br />when did 43 became old...Jonathan my 6 yrs old says that 43 is "medium young".

Much respect for sticking with your form change despite the impact on your speed. I'm guessing your legs thank you for it.Evolving Through Runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00708963226692830313noreply@blogger.com
