I listened to it today at the gym and I actually like it. Im using it in my marathon playlist. When it kicks in somewhere on the back half I'll think of how you toughed this one out. This type of effort is way more impressive than completing whatever goal you had for time or anything else. B/c when the chips where down you Closed it Out and that took some serious Suck it Up. Im hoping for the same effort from myself.<br />as my 8 year old would say "shhhh For Real" haha<br />-DerekDRoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11126561738590093533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6612476334885251012.post-46993872273373838112010-09-23T05:57:01.851-07:002010-09-23T05:57:01.851-07:00Sorry you didn't have as great of a race as yo...Sorry you didn't have as great of a race as you hoped, but you are truly a running inspiration.

When we don't meet our goals there really isn't much anyone can say to make it any better. I have to say though, you have incredible strength for pushing through that race anyway. I could say, "wow! 3:35! That's fast!!" but I know it won't matter when 3:15 was on your brain. <br /><br />You're still a hero in our eyes!!

I know it is easy for everyone to say “Great time” or “Remember you have been sick” or “You ran it in that time AND you had time to puke along the way?” but that doesn’t change how you feel about your race. I know this is easier said than done but chalk it up in the crappy race category, try to learn from what went wrong and ensure it doesn’t happen again!

I like how there's a flap that velcros over the back pocket because I like to cram as much food in my belt as humanly possible<br />2. I like the older style bottles with the little rubber thingie that pops up and down<br />3. I like how the plastic bottle holders are more substantial because I can be a violent and strong Green Girl and I tend to break things<br /><br />Good luck and happy hydration belt shopping!The Green Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02319714826599995511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6612476334885251012.post-18751417759759498342010-09-21T10:38:46.014-07:002010-09-21T10:38:46.014-07:00I am sorry I missed this yesterday!
