Way to go idiot!!

It is funny how everyone has different perspectives, i found the bridge really short and easy, but the wind in Windsor was bad (it must have shifted a bit when i got there).

Great job on a PB, you rocked the Motor City

I have no idea how you guys do this stuff. It always leaves me in awe or thinking you feel off the deep end ...
Great race!

Sheldon...

You don't cease to amaze with how easy you make all of this seem... There is no way I can call you "idiot"... not fitting... Running Machine? Don't know... we'll have to come up with something good... PB after PB - impressive.....

So, enjoy your real taper this time... See you in Paris 8) :lol:

And I just figured out, I want to be like you when I grow up... (now... to grow up first...)

Very impressive and consistent running Mr. Sheldon! How many PBs have you got since the beginning of the Fall Tour?????
I run because it's fun.

In another life:
3 marathons including Boston twice (PB: 3:47), 6 halfs (PB: 1:45), 6 10k (PB: 46:41) and 3 5ks (PB: 21:00)

I have had 2 half PB's and 2 25 K PB's since the tour started. Also one new distance, 20 (or 19.3) K. Two more halfs were within 70 seconds of my best. The last two halfs were the double race weekend.
next up:


This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day

So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day
