reminds me of my marathon--I was so psyched to run the LA Marathon in March 2015 after running to halves in the fall 2014 at a 7:40/min pace--what could be better than LA in March--well, not only did I tear my calf in December hitting a few tennis balls after an 11 mile run without re-warming up, and trained in NYC in late Jan and Feb in a polar vortex, there was a heatwave in LA.
