Well, thanks for the thoughts all. I am only disapointed with the whole thing in the fact that I paid for the race and a hotel room and both of which are none...
Ohno~The test of a true runner is when they get "knocked down" do they get back up? I say (like MegaDawg and Coach) get on another horse and ride. Go to LA...
Coach, Thanks for the kind words, they really means a lot, especially coming from you. Staying flexible and not getting too attached to the outcome has helped...

That's a great goal, Jabber, and I know you can do it. My goal isn't as ambitious as my Richmond race since injury management was job #1 during this training...

Two really old codgers decide they would go out and run some 400- meter repeats together. When they finish their warm up and are ready to start the first old...
