I felt like I was right there with you except that I am sitting enjoying a cup of coffee. I am so happy for you! I felt like I was going to burst into tears when I read about you crossing the finish line!! I can not wait to hear about the NYC race coming up!!

I h...Hello, this is my first time stopping by Rick! I have to say I loved this post-absolutely needed to read it . I just recently ran my first Marathon at Big Sur this past april...and the experience...well....lets just say the left brain took over, and I have been battling this predominate anxiety of failure ever since. (also had breathing problems-oy!) I never had the intense experience as you described so well-or the glorious finish, but I am truely invigorated by this post. I don't run for the recognition, mind you :) But I also have had a sour taste in my mouth in regards to training and continuing on this growing love in my life (running) :). I am definitely going to look into training the 4 minute run and 1 minute walk format. I just wanted to say, you are really inspiring, and thank you so much for sharing-in detail! Sometimes we really need it!<br /><br />Congratulations, you rocked it!!<br /><br />-kathyKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04922615374075874890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242745025604729802.post-12045944633121299052009-10-16T07:01:06.328-04:002009-10-16T07:01:06.328-04:00Haha on your comment to me...I don't think you...Haha on your comment to me...I don't think you'll have to wait til I'm 53 for me to hate winter again, ask me again in January/February!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964218970797460632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242745025604729802.post-10064504343769815262009-10-14T16:50:40.070-04:002009-10-14T16:50:40.070-04:00Congratulations Rick!!!

But awesome job getting back to the plan relatively quickly . . . I think that's what made the race such a success for you. You are SO ready to rock it out there in NYC. I can't wait to see what happens! :)Irish Creamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17548744329403082452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242745025604729802.post-35750780748029832782009-10-12T14:09:34.987-04:002009-10-12T14:09:34.987-04:00congrats again! very nice race recap, and i'm ...congrats again! very nice race recap, and i'm glad you were able to calm yourself down and resume the plan. funny how 'left brain' shuts up in a race environment! i don't mind though :)<br /><br />you are certainly primed for nyc!<br /><br />(ps: mylar blanket, or sometimes a 'space blanket')Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720800873803974929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242745025604729802.post-24250336658991785802009-10-11T23:34:46.092-04:002009-10-11T23:34:46.092-04:00Awesome job Rick!
