I found another ...Lisa, I did the very same thing. I found another in the crowd that pretty much matched my pace. I locked onto that person until we entered a long downhill stretch. They poured it on, but I thought it was too early.<BR/><BR/>Eventually, a lady and I matched pace for 3/4 of the race. It was in the last half mile that I found some inner strength and pulled out ahead going for it.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it cool how some runs are so very interesting? I did not have Times Square in my run, but I did have a roaring mountain stream right next to the road surface we were running on. It was kind of cool to watch as the entire group of runners made their way to a certain side of the road when something scenic presented itself. That was true of the people that put a water sprinkler near the road so runners could run through it should they elect to. Yep! I elected to!<BR/><BR/>CharlieCewTwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01559024822260264420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919395229903617160.post-40266761099896462082007-08-08T18:05:00.000-04:002007-08-08T18:05:00.000-04:00Congratulations!
