Mmmmmmm...I think you just may have hit what just may be the plague of
American distance running...;) Sort of the whole "Why do one thing great
when you can do 2 or 3 things good?". Don't race, train. Train more, race
less. Some of the best marathoners in the world only run 2 or 3 races all
year....and they are marathons at that. There is a time to train hard and a
time to take it easy..."Ya gotta...know when ta hold em...know when ta fold
em...know when ta walk away...and know when ta run." Anyway, enough of this
nonsense....:)
Just some thoughts folks, nothing more, nothing less...
