Paige, how incredible you two are doing... and you make it sound so easy! Great job out there, and yeah, even if it's flat, you still have to work and be fit enough to hold that pace. Sounds like you are definitely fit enough :)
Awesome job!!! And yes, inspiring! By the way, "But this chick decides she's gotta have some Dunmore" - best line ever :)

Ha! Thanks @D-Ray :) Don't need to worry about that happening. My head is already physically pretty large. My shoulders wouldn't be able to handle an ego, too, LOL. Plus, I always have tough long runs on the Lakefront path to keep me humble!

Paige! Nice one! Don't go getting the big head and all. :)

@cb, thanks!!

@HappyTrails, I love that you used the word 'percolating'...makes me think of a really bad hip hop song by Cajmere from my early days in high school. I'm pretty sure it's going to be stuck in my head, "It's time for the percolator, it's time for the percolator!" :-)

@Stacy, thanks dude! Sooooo, are you going to be at JJ pacing? I recall you mentioning the possibility. That would rawk!

You guys are on a roll! Very happy to be along for the ride in your lead-up to JJ. Really inspiring stuff, and a super fun read as usual, Paige.

You two are really clicking those miles off - great job! Training seems to be percolating nicely for your big race. Have a fantastic week!

Hot Damn, indeed! Wow, congrats on such a great race. So nice when it works out like that, and very cool that you were able to do it together. Good luck @ JJ!

@Dax, thanks dude! It was a maaaaaarvelous day!

@Holly, you are very sweet! Thank you so much for reading :)

@Danni, ah, drafting. I've never heard of it when it comes to running. How weird :) I definitely agree about different races playing to different strengths. I just didn't realize flat was my strength, lol. I'll take it!

Nice work! It sounds like the first place woman w...

Nice work! It sounds like the first place woman was drafting, which isn't really a big deal given how relatively ineffective it is running.

I think different races play to different peoples' strengths. Since you live in Illinois you're going to struggle with a tough mountain course while someone who is used to only single track in the mountains might struggle with flat road. Though I run mountain single track a lot I suck at those races and prefer (because I do so much better) flat, like Slickrock or (hilly) road like Le Grizz.

Wow, great job on the race. Sounds like a perfect day. You're going to kill Javelina.
