Can't wait to see that sub-4 for you! That will be awesome. I love when you cross the finish line of a race, accomplish your goals, but know that you have more to give and more work to do; there's no better motivation for the next race.Amanda @ Running On Waffleshttp://runningonwaffles.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581132630137396385.post-86014426196264946602012-11-19T11:17:44.029-08:002012-11-19T11:17:44.029-08:00I definitely think you will go sub 4 at your marat...I definitely think you will go sub 4 at your marathon! McMillan said I could only do a 3:56 marathon with my half PR last year but I ran a 3:49 a few months later. If it is already saying you can do it, then you will get even faster with training!

You are going to get well below 4 hours in February! Good news - no hills at MB, so don't worry about that.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02517428815573698474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581132630137396385.post-53985111556469258542012-11-17T10:55:44.153-08:002012-11-17T10:55:44.153-08:00Congrats on the PR, especially considering the hil...Congrats on the PR, especially considering the hills! As other people have commented, it's always interesting how we react to a PR. Yes, the initial "Yay me" allows us to bask for a moment, but then the critiques start to crowd the brain.<br /><br />Also - way to focus on the process of running. I should do more of that...Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208374967597840745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581132630137396385.post-57209188635397789702012-11-16T16:54:24.913-08:002012-11-16T16:54:24.913-08:00I'm so excited for you.

Congrats! Alpacas! <br /><br />Also, I really cannot say enough about how much calf sleeves have helped me and my various lower-leg issues. It could be the placebo effect, but it's the most awesome placebo effect ever.

I'm always asking myself whether I could've worked that little bit harder, held back less (I do this a lot in early miles for fear of a DNF).<br /><br />I never have quite the insight that you do because I'm such a haphazard runner, paying no attention to form beyond my heel-striking being a constant frustration and embarrassment. I'm sure that with such a technical view and the way you list and identify the niggles that need to be corrected, you'll have just as monumental an improvement in your marathon time :)<br />Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577732790717175356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581132630137396385.post-6961799924245528312012-11-15T11:05:04.166-08:002012-11-15T11:05:04.166-08:00Awesome job!
