Hope the weather is good for your race!ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349463963034114839.post-63768268773622538442009-10-05T09:09:09.706-07:002009-10-05T09:09:09.706-07:00The things that our legs/bodies/minds will pull of...The things that our legs/bodies/minds will pull off on race day is amazing. My half marathon PR is a pace that I could barely hold in training. My 5K and 10K PR's are paces that I couldn't hold for more than 1000m in training. <br /><br />You've done the work... let your legs carry you across that finish in 1:59:59 or better!Marlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230997094889375925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349463963034114839.post-75745710166381794382009-10-05T04:44:17.583-07:002009-10-05T04:44:17.583-07:00Am I too late for good luck?
