But, yeah, just like anyone with a time-consuming passion and a family, it's about balance and making time when you can. Invariably that means getting up very early.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07768257304687597320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-2516131062604903152011-07-24T23:19:38.181-07:002011-07-24T23:19:38.181-07:00Interesting to see how you "pro runners"...Interesting to see how you "pro runners" balance parenting..."would have been criminal to let the free day go without getting out and exploring".

But since my marathon went so well, the focus has really shifted towards getting that OTQ. In any case, Andrea and I are starting to make a habit of doing our long runs on dirt roads / trails in Park City... so if you're around the day after speedgoat and want to get in some running, you're welcome to join us.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785417482981091644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-46942543799309578952011-07-19T11:03:56.349-07:002011-07-19T11:03:56.349-07:00While I have only run a measly 52 for my longest r...While I have only run a measly 52 for my longest run, I agree with you in that sometimes the marathon, where you run a fast steady anarobic pace the whole time, seems to take longer and is more painful to recover from than an ultra!Jason Schlarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00649845109235484268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-80346283782555054692011-07-18T19:09:32.291-07:002011-07-18T19:09:32.291-07:00Was wondering if you were going to jump in and hav...Was wondering if you were going to jump in and have a go for the $$.
