My normal lungs hurt out there! Especially from mile 12 on. I was so jealous, fyi, of your warm-looking neckwarmer. My mouth was so frozen that I had a hard time eatting my gu. :-) Hope you recovered easily and quickly!<br />Rae Crowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04470844835561891448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-976919865429314945.post-2935757966915272542013-02-04T04:03:08.325-08:002013-02-04T04:03:08.325-08:00Wow.

I may have to re-evaluate my whining about how I always have to train too slowly in the winter because I can't run any faster... You did a 6:04 mile in there!!

I think you did a great job pacing this one. Mile 3 was FAST! And you ended strong too. I have never done a 16 mile race before so I'm sure pacing gets better with practice. <br /><br />What do you have on your running radar coming up? Whatever it is I know you are ready. Your workouts are seriously motivating on DM!Tiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17865099182609959790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-976919865429314945.post-59398258337012891832013-01-29T12:28:57.150-08:002013-01-29T12:28:57.150-08:00@Michael: It was nice to meet you too!

I always look forward to those last 4 miles, but this year they were a HUGE disappointment. Anyway, it was nice to meet to on Sunday and I hope we see you around.

Though, I'd be pretty happy with a 7:05...<br /><br />@Raina: Thanks! I don't think you're missing much. I guess running in the cold is hard, but I think running on the track in more reasonable temps would so much more fun! (And I'm all about the fun...)<br /><br />@Karen: Wow, it's really nice to hear that someone else gets a sore chest and back from running hard! Sometimes I feel like a lunatic! I mean my back feels like someone whacked me with a baseball bat, and my ribs are tender to touch.

In the cold, wind, hills and asthma..you seem like you're indestructible! I also love your runner ninja outfit. I've been having asthma symptoms lately too, so I get the sore back and chest.

It's been 2 winters since we've seen single digits (no wind) and it is hard to run with everything frosting and freezing up! <br />I am struck by how tough you are! Asthma and the ninja mask, and a hugely fast pace. I think that's the same pace as my PR 13.1. haha :)) Oh, your upcoming races are going to be lovely this spring! I can't wait!!Rainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118022681297462844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-976919865429314945.post-71734753723619034522013-01-28T19:12:01.405-08:002013-01-28T19:12:01.405-08:00Oh, so sorry about your asthma!

Sounds like the headwind transformed those 4 downhill miles at the end into uphill miles. That must have sucked, to look forward to some relief after crazy uphills - people, I have never seen such a crazy incline that keeps going like in those miles 9-12 - and have that headwind! <br />I think this race has helped you peak for Hampton. I can't wait to see what you can do. Lets hope for warmer temps though:) Congrats again!Ana-Maria RunTriLivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06277465990759801560noreply@blogger.com
