      Yeah - that wind was brutal yesterday Blanca. Glad your both doing well. Still a nice run in tough conditions and a great pace considering the wind was whipping in all directions.

      I've learned that self awareness is a runners best friend. I think your revelations are awesome and will serve you well going forward. Keep them nearby when you feel your confidence slipping. I think you'll find that it's not as lost as you think it is.

      You did the right thing Blanca. That distance is a beast and would have set you back health wise. We all know how meticulous you are with your training and your health. I am not worthy to run in your shadow........

      Good for you! Sometimes the smart thing isn't the fun thing. But I understand the emotions that come with it, and that sucks. I would never wish that for you, so sorry you had to go through it. To many many more miles in 2012!! Cheers!!!
