I was just thinking about you the other day, how when you said that if I'd been part of your youth running group back when I was a youth, I'd be knocking out races like whoa. Have to admit I didn't believe you — was still caught up in "no natural ability" — but I do now :) Hope all is well!Little Runner, Bigger Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425769729525642711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132452650878647527.post-32495539834698727992013-10-03T11:03:18.822-05:002013-10-03T11:03:18.822-05:00You need to know that you are only as fast as your...You need to know that you are only as fast as your last race and likewise whatever you ran in your last race you can run faster than that.
