Enjoy some rest and I look forward to the quest to BQ. <br /><br />P.S. For some reason bloglines is not updating very well. I better go check others that may have posted as well. I knew you must have something written by now since you ran a marathon.

Mark it as a bad day, because, as you've said yourself, most of the excuses don't really count - most people don't sleep well before a marathon, most people are stressed the day before ... the one thing that you should definitely change is breakfast; I find a good carbs-breakfast 3 or even 4 hours before start is very important.<br /><br />Better luck next time. As Phil said, rest properly and then concentrate on one marathon, rather than running so many in a short space of time.<br /><br />You're definitely capable of a BQ.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802380462713592586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12045321.post-35839732031768781592006-11-20T08:46:00.000-05:002006-11-20T08:46:00.000-05:00Dawn, I am looking forward to your BQ quest! You ...Dawn, I am looking forward to your BQ quest! You are amazingly strong and most definitely can do it.<br /><br />I hear DE is a 4 lap course with a relay, or at least it used to be. I don't know that works for you, maybe it's a good thing for some, but for me it's a killer!Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03609653940286042245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12045321.post-81898413150586537262006-11-20T00:11:00.000-05:002006-11-20T00:11:00.000-05:00Great report Dawn ...

Oh so much can go wrong.<br /><br />Also, even though you were disappointed with your performance, you still ran a heck of lot further than most of us today under very chilly conditions. Now that you've got these multiple marathons out of your system (I've lost count on how many you've run over the past 6 months) you can get focused and start training for you BQ. I know you can get there. Your one strong runner and you certainly don't have any trouble with the long run and that's the core of any good marathon prep; so you're half way home. You just need to work on your LT and improve your speed and you're there. The nice thing is, you've got all winter to work on it with no marathons planned to distract you from your goal.<br /><br />Rest up ... you deserve it.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04350841837453498786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12045321.post-56832841008750155132006-11-19T22:58:00.000-05:002006-11-19T22:58:00.000-05:00great job and nice report! and good luck with your...great job and nice report! and good luck with your striving towards a BQ. you can do it :)Beaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10610790255198089038noreply@blogger.com
