some ragged-breathing shod guy
People around here are very creative with their grammar and word generation. It may catch on!(sorry for the typo "34nd" in the thread tittle - can an admin fix it?)

Don't be hard on yourself. Let yourself ease back into it!2.08 miles in my monos on flat flat ground. I think this was my first run in a week. Felt way off. Hopefully things will get better this week as we get more settled in. Avg'd a 10:52 pace.
I have experienced this phenomena. One fellow admitted after the race that he was using me to pace himself, and it helped for a while, but he just couldn't keep up. (Of course, there were people I wasn't keeping up with either....)That reminded me of a 5K race I did at the end of 2008. It started off mostly downhill and maybe somewhere after a 1/4 mile I noticed that there was a guy with a scary-breathing sound. Huurrrrrrh, huuuurrhhhh, hurrrrrrh. I sped up to get away. He kept after me. His breathing was so scary sounding you just didn't want to be within earshot. Huuuurhhhh, huuuurrrrhh, huuuuurrrhhh. I kicked it up even more but wasn't able to finally drop him til we hit the long uphill that started around a mile into the race.
I think I ran the rest of the way scared and got a PR maybe thanks to that.
Huuuurhhhh, huuuurrrrhh, huuuuurrrhhh
Yes mother... I am looking forward to tomorrows short run and learning a little bit more about my new town. So far, running might really be limited here... I do know I can drive a bit (maybe 15 minutes or so) and there are 4 miles of paved trails I can run on.Don't be hard on yourself. Let yourself ease back into it!
