Last year I ran the Brooklyn RnR half so I'm getting closer ;) (I live in the Netherlands and can only do one US race a year, if that... this year the hubs got into Chicago, so that's priority). I am really happy for you that you had a good race time AND you are seeing progress. I so know how that feels, to come back from injury/overtraining/whatever and finally start to see results. I am hoping that with this year "off" so much racing that next year I will seem some improvements (or a bit more improvement in any case).Renee @pinkypiehttp://lowfatpie.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-15854614147091157602017-03-29T15:27:54.973-04:002017-03-29T15:27:54.973-04:00Love this!
