At the finish, I still felt fresh. With the Furman plan I was using 7:20 as my marathon pace, so that's why I'm sure I can do 7:30 or even 7:15 pace.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again Steve...and be seeing you at the local races.<BR/>CharlieCharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08194398459256916637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362552092923025055.post-77818123026577604532007-11-12T09:55:00.000-05:002007-11-12T09:55:00.000-05:00Hey Ms Natalie!Thanks...I'm still floating on a cl...Hey Ms Natalie!<BR/><BR/>Thanks...I'm still floating on a cloud!<BR/><BR/>You put up a great time on your Chickamauga Marathon and a third BQ and 1st in AG...I peaked! Congratulations and a Great Job, I don't think BQing is a problem for you. I wasn't planning to go to Boston until 09...so start saving! ;o)<BR/><BR/>CharlieCharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08194398459256916637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362552092923025055.post-19433720825436231662007-11-11T20:59:00.000-05:002007-11-11T20:59:00.000-05:00Great race report.

Congratulations Charlie!<BR/><BR/>Gotta love your attitude too.

For all your hard training you have been due a great race. What a fantastic time. Congrats on the BQ. I knew you had it in you.<BR/><BR/>I ran into an old friend at my marathon who had also done MCM but he ended up dropping out a little after half way on Sat from achilles problems. When he told me that I thought of you and was worried. So I am relieved your story is a happy one!<BR/>No Boston this year-- maybe 09--for me but I'll be there eventually-- just gotta keep up my Bqing ;)Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250132017455417022noreply@blogger.com
