In true Wes style, you also managed to capture the true spirit and purpose of the race in your last line:<BR/><BR/>"As much as I believe that running is an individual sport, sometimes you just got to step back and admit: it's not at all about me."<BR/><BR/>That was something I just needed to hear today. :)Alekshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11569571174586091281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28269773.post-1158641679579249452006-09-19T00:54:00.000-04:002006-09-19T00:54:00.000-04:00All right Wes!

You really dug deep for that last mile - nice! We all knew you had it in you. :) And how great that your whole family was involved. You can bask in the glory of a race well-run, for a day, then get back out there and get ready for the next one.

The sub-30 time is awesome. And a great race report, too. I love the "happy but not satisfied" part. Yeah, you are so hooked. And a big congrats to Dee Dee, too.

You rocked that last mile and the whole race alltogether! Man, great place to be with a family on Sat morning, and for a cause.<BR/>As for HR - at least first 10 min (what in case of 5k is a long time) it usually goes up due to excitement for the race, so check on your breathing (what I find also been erratic those 10 min) and general feelings. It calms down with experience, but never goes away, so just note where your personal HR jumps and stay with it.<BR/>Congrats!olgahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28269773.post-1158457502104564272006-09-16T21:45:00.000-04:002006-09-16T21:45:00.000-04:00Congratulations Wes!
