What if you cut it down to every other day. If I start running 2 days in a row, I resent it (and my hips start hurting). <BR/><BR/>Yea, the skirt thing is hit or miss. My target one THRASHED my thighs, but the SkirtSports brand was better. However I only ran 3 miles in that.P.O.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16410533843419723414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32536118.post-69646844653570632422008-09-15T22:07:00.000-07:002008-09-15T22:07:00.000-07:00It was nice to hear from you.

Running in rough weather makes us ready for anything a marathon can throw at us. I drew the line at lightning, though. :-)<BR/><BR/>Are you drinking any recovery drinks after your workouts? They may help for your long runs. <BR/><BR/>Lot's of luck on Sunday!Dorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489181738411546254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32536118.post-13031859978604061132008-09-15T18:04:00.000-07:002008-09-15T18:04:00.000-07:00That picture was lovely and the vision of tea + co...That picture was lovely and the vision of tea + couch. So where have you been doing the runs - starting and all? I definitely have some low motivation at times for the long runs, esp when it is the same thing every week. I really try to do new routes or switch it up with some treadmill running or new partners! I like doing the loop down at kelly drive, and you should try valley green for something different too. I have to check my corral for Sun and can't wait to pick up my stuff, I am so pumped!!N.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07718741327199643323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32536118.post-59393663251293424782008-09-15T15:46:00.000-07:002008-09-15T15:46:00.000-07:00I love that picture, and let me tell you, I can to...I love that picture, and let me tell you, I can totally relate to you about the long runs, last week was my worst. Keep up with it, and if you feel like a shorter run, do it. :)Chic Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11670504238110246108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32536118.post-3922866782948324052008-09-15T09:03:00.000-07:002008-09-15T09:03:00.000-07:00Don't know what to tell you, I'd kill someone to b...Don't know what to tell you, I'd kill someone to be abe to run long distance right now, even tough I am is really really bad shape lol<BR/><BR/>A marathon is 50/50 mental and physical so if you aren'T feeling this maybe switch back to the half? Don't know what I would do. Good luck on Sunday anyhow =) You always do better than you think you will!!Soniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15766375122022031029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32536118.post-67502590124527970682008-09-15T07:12:00.000-07:002008-09-15T07:12:00.000-07:00Lately I've been feeling this way (about long runs...Lately I've been feeling this way (about long runs) as well. I absolutely have been dreading them (which isn't like me) I don't if it's because I'm just sick of training or what but I do KWIM. <BR/><BR/>You've had a lot going on chica, what about just running without the added stress of time factors? Sometimes I need those days. The whole pace thing makes me hate running at times LOLMarcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148093449696230770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32536118.post-18575969110891551922008-09-15T04:47:00.000-07:002008-09-15T04:47:00.000-07:00Your run on Friday sounds like the run I had on We...Your run on Friday sounds like the run I had on Wednesday. Way to just have fun with it. <BR/><BR/>Sounds like the weather for you guys is starting to cool off. Maybe on your next long run you just have to go when you are ready. Sometimes, for me anyway, waking up early to run can seem like a chore or gets old or I'm just not mentally ready yet. However, I can't put it off cause I won't get it done due to heat or won't have time to complete it. I am really looking forward to the cooler temps to not only provide some relief from the heat but to also give me more flexibilty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
