AM - 7 miles. Finished with a faster mile (5:12) towards the end.
CIM tracking and leaderboard. Fritz is #41, I'm #55, and Nate is #69.
While looking for some CIM recaps a few weeks ago I came across this one from Josh Cox (2009). He can be a little over the top at times, but I did really like this...
You stack your chips for five months in hopes that it all comes together during a certain two-hour period on December 6. In the marathon business you get two chances a year. You get sick, too bad. Headwind, oh well. A muscle strain, sorry. Food poisoning, better luck next time. Freezing temperatures, try again in six months... It’s game time – there are no rain checks, there are no do-overs. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done in workouts; this isn’t math class, there is no partial credit for showing your work... If things don’t come together, you do your best to have a nice Christmas, you toast on New Years, and come January you put your hand back on the plow and try to nail it in a few months. Such is the beauty and glory of our sport.
