First female master at Akron, and by a decisive margin. Way to go!

Of course I'm eager to hear details, stories.

yabut my time absolutely absolutely sucked :-(

I don't want to relive the crappiness at the moment, but maybe after a
couple of martinis I'll be able to write about the race in a witty,
non-self-pitying way :-)

Thanks for the congrats, though. You are going to do much, much better than
this at nycm, btw.

Karen

Sucked is your word but at the risk of the same old discussion we had
from last year - are you doing too many miles or not resting enough or
both? All your last workouts were loaded with being tired yet you kept
on pushing. My instincts tell me you were coaching yourself, then again
you may have an aggressive coach.

Of course I await the details to see how you ran the race especially
pacing.

Congratulations Karen!
Hey a $1000 pay day too!
I should have sent my wife. She'll probably place somewhere between 2nd and
4th overall in our local Marathon next week anbut there is no prize money.

What does your magic eight ball predict: not just an AG first for me,
but top two or three overall?

Um...

No.

Thanks for the thought, but this thread is about you. You beat every
other old broad who showed up, by a wide margin. Only a few young
girls snuck in ahead of you.

That's awesome!

If you're not happy with your time, well, surely there's a reason and
that reason probably isn't that you're horribly flawed and owe us all a
bunch of public shame. More likely, I reckon, it means some factor(s)
was/were suboptimal/off/unexpected: weather conditions, the course,
your energy or legs or digestion on race day, your expectations, your
training (presumably fine because you didn't make any big changes,
right?), your thyroid, whatever. Regardless, you kicked plenty of ass
in my book.

My very knowledgeable running store recommended Brooks Dyad as a neutral
shoe that would let the orthotics do the work. And it has room for my
fairly thick foam orthotics.
