I keep wondering how long mine will last before the straps gives out ... I might have to look into its replacement before it breaks!<br /><br />I think my best race was the Eugene Half Marathon this year. It was my best half marathon finish time - but aside from that I feel like mentally I was just "on". I never wanted to quit, I fought for every single step when it got hard. I felt like a legit runner that day!Fruit Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747205899650070873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-64994800252626330262011-06-09T10:20:02.221-04:002011-06-09T10:20:02.221-04:00Very cool you can bike to work, I am close enough ...Very cool you can bike to work, I am close enough to run to work, but it's so muggy here and without a shower facility, I can't do that to my co-workers! :)<br /><br />Hope the garmin strap stays put!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-77977080804638042172011-06-06T17:21:35.742-04:002011-06-06T17:21:35.742-04:00I think it's awesome that you have been able t...I think it's awesome that you have been able to bike to work at least one day a week since April. In Vermont! That shows how tough you are for sure.<br />As far as running in this heat - oh man. I'm in the DC area and it crushes me - partly because the majority of my runs are between 11:30 and 1. As long as I have water it's not horrible but it definitely wipes me out. <br />You have struck my interest with the Heartsick book and the Stay book... and I'm not even a big reader.Kandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00182116228182197268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-61508548423588149462011-06-05T21:10:52.953-04:002011-06-05T21:10:52.953-04:00You've had some very cold and very hot weather...You've had some very cold and very hot weather!

Stowe was technically my first, but my training (or lack there of) sometimes causes me to dismiss that one :). <br /><br />As for biking, I don't have bike shoes and the idea of upgrading and needing to clip in and out terrifies me, but I think I'll have to get there someday!<br /><br />I'll be posting a "what i've learned from biking so far" post some time this week!Carleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13726184720711193660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-82358774806239483732011-06-05T02:05:10.303-04:002011-06-05T02:05:10.303-04:00I beg your pardon for the late congrats on the Ver...I beg your pardon for the late congrats on the Vermont City Marathon.<br />It's hard to train in the heat, yesterday I raced with an impossible temperature and it was terrible, I felt really bad.

Even had the write *bring water* in their assignment notebooks! Ha! Last year our not-as-bright-as-he-should-be PE teacher decided to put soda at the water station because it fit with the general "candy land" theme! 1/3 of the 6th grade helpers ended up puking in the nurses office because of the heat and the soda!
