...Clown good to hear you are doing Melbourne again.<br /><br />Sling;<br />pity about the wedding, but if it brings you to Melbourne cool...Might even catch up this time...Im utterly obsessed with Melbourne now...have been for years, but even more so now...<br />Perth would be great too, but have to agree about the pavement...however the way things are going you might pull it off in Seoul, you are very close...<br />yeah its just a number but it sure sounds a whole lot better when people ask you whats the WR and you say 2.04 or whatever it is, and then you tell em your PB is 2.57 than if you tell em its 3.01...but yeah sometimes I wonder why I am doing this year after year...<br />I think having kids reminds you there is a whole lot more to life than running marathons ...maybe...perhaps...did I say that...:-)<br />the 36k , 23k and the 1k reps (especially with 1min rests!) are all awesome sessions, keep doing what you are doing, happy days likely ahead...<br />sub 3 hr aint the holy grail of the non-elite runner for nothing, but yeah its good to ask the question why sometimes...is it for the challenge , for the sense of accomplishment, somnething to tell the grandkids, to be a betterman/husband,father, employee/employer, to serve God better, to be all you can be, beat others, have a better quality of life, challenging and pushing yourself, inspiring others, encouraging others, life experiences many others dont get, seeing the leites in action close up, springboard to better goals, the potential reasons go on and on. I think PB is more important than sub 3, but sub3 is a much wanted goal amongst marathoners...trailblazer777https://www.blogger.com/profile/15260445561233341753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158705902053871236.post-87100979726636871622010-02-07T16:07:42.063+08:002010-02-07T16:07:42.063+08:00Another solid week, well done and things looking g...Another solid week, well done and things looking good for Seoul, nice long run.<br /><br />I'm in a similar dilemna this year on the Marathon front, could do 4 but may only do 2, definites are Boston and MelbClownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10576984522794206674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158705902053871236.post-62756551147227628892010-02-07T13:36:16.748+08:002010-02-07T13:36:16.748+08:00That's inconsiderate of your brother to have h...That's inconsiderate of your brother to have his wedding then!<br /><br />I can recall GC being windy a couple of times I've been there. Sort of makes me think being in 2:55 shape is what you need to guarantee a sub-3. Melbourne has had good weather the past few years, but it could get a hot day.<br /><br />I'd be happy to have run a 3:01 or 3:02, but exceedingly happy with a 2:59:XX :)Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.com
