Well, not really. Its a different kind of blues.One that is leaving me wondering what I could’ve done better in Chicago, what I can do better. I should be able to do a better than 6hrs 16min finish, right? Right?? As Coach David put it – I have to decide between distance and speed with 2 choices.Do another marathon in Jan to satisfy my longing for the distance and then a March(maybe not) and the Fall target.

Well, not really. Its a different kind of blues.One that is leaving me wondering what I could’ve done better in Chicago, what I can do better. I should be able to do a better than 6hrs 16min finish, right? Right??

One of those times, I fumbled with launching the Facebook app and instead launched one of my…
I’m a runner 🙂
As with everything else, I’ve been thinking and rethinking and then thinking some more about what my goals are for Chicago. I’m thinking KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid.
