It gets me mentally almost every time. I will be extra slow this year, 5 months post baby, so your tips on relaxing and taking things slow will be extra important for me to remember.<br />In response to Amy, I'm pretty sure the Cliff pacers try to run an even pace throughout the race. That got my brother in trouble. He was trained to run a 3:10 but pushed way too hard on Veyo and crashed towards the end of the race. I would ask the pacer his/her specific plan.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03284089438159432284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762797438051684168.post-45608613312604925782012-10-03T11:50:05.080-06:002012-10-03T11:50:05.080-06:00I really wish I was down there running SGM.

I'd be fun to meet you in person too! #3 is the best tip in my opinion... after I got up Veyo I thought it was going to be straight downward running so the mini 'rollers' -if you could call them that- really got to me mentally. <br /><br />Have a great race this weekend!

Actually the whole race was a disaster. <br /><br />Do you know if the pace teams run even splits or if they have a course specific plan? I'm going to try and hop onto a pace team this year, it's my only hope to make my goal since I only decide to race it earlier this week when I found out the Boston Marathon hasn't filled yet. I'm really not trained for a marathon at all.<br /><br />That may be my favorite marathon sign I've ever seen from the mortuary!
