Kim & I have a plan!

Upon thinking about my 20 miler on Saturday I have come to the conclusion that I’m going to start Chicago at 9:00’s and if I have juice at the end then I will give it the gas. But I know Kim has been training and I was thinking she was running sub 9’s and I knew I might not be able to hold that for 26.2.

It was time to fess up and tell Kim I wasn’t going to be able to run sub 9’s with her. So I shot her an email this morning on low and behold she has no interest in running sub 9’s. In fact 10’s may be more of the plan she is going with. What a huge relief for me! I can do 10’s!

She was concerned that 10’s would mess up a PR shot for me and I told her I was not shooting for a PR in Chicago, just to have fun so I think we are all set. Plus it will be nice to have someone holding me to 10’s because I think we all know I don’t seem to be able to do that for myself.

Anyway I’m feeling better about the whole thing and can’t wait for the 21st. Now I am on the taper… Have I mentioned how much I hate the taper!
