I felt like the training run was amazing and I wish that I had your endurance! 20 miles, wow!<BR/><BR/>Give the hubby an extra hug for all of us. Coming out and supporting is great, but to accompany you on a training run? What a guy!<BR/><BR/>As far as the Nike+ challenge went, I think that everyone was a winner, especially you! You did in a few days what it took me running several days to accomplish!<BR/><BR/>Let's hear it for the girl!CewTwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01559024822260264420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34732546.post-87624293070326534372007-10-01T02:41:00.000+00:002007-10-01T02:41:00.000+00:00Petra, you did great.

If a given run is a bad run, or a slow run or a run where your legs are just worn out, still you are doing great. We are alive.<BR/><BR/>take carelizzie leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461437927126657873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34732546.post-16706320009123689372007-10-01T02:08:00.000+00:002007-10-01T02:08:00.000+00:00Petra, great job getting that 20-miler done!

To run a marathon well, you need definitely need to keep your body fueled past mile 15.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your taper, you've earned it!!!ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34732546.post-52220480638279293582007-09-30T22:51:00.000+00:002007-09-30T22:51:00.000+00:00You are incredible!

You stuck to it and that time is not too shabby!<BR/><BR/>I wonder if your battery is dying in your sensor (there will be a red flashing something, maybe a shoe) in the upper left of your iPod display screen. My first sensor died after 36 hours of use.<BR/><BR/>I bought my second one at Target because they have a liberal return policy if the battery goes south too quickly.Maddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05542368231175080980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34732546.post-52086771708756053492007-09-30T21:43:00.000+00:002007-09-30T21:43:00.000+00:00Way to tough it out Petra!!

If it's more than 24 hours, then it's more. No big deal. I don't think we'd all have to do 20 miles, though I haven't broken each leg out yet. Some are longer or short, harder or easier. We'd sure be quite familiar with each other after that.Road Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06185561385105959496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34732546.post-85386664494167265162007-09-30T20:05:00.000+00:002007-09-30T20:05:00.000+00:00Great job on the 20 miler!!!

You were probably training your will more than you body! Way to go!<BR/><BR/>It's taper time for you :-) You will have to post how folks can track you during the race!! :-)<BR/><BR/>Well done!MarathonChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11514736136940315768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34732546.post-85658911666882874372007-09-30T18:41:00.000+00:002007-09-30T18:41:00.000+00:00I've found that using different sneakers (same bra...I've found that using different sneakers (same brand/style, just different wear) can have an effect on the Nike+ system. I definitely recalibrate when I get a new pair of shoes. I wasn't sure from your post whether you had recalibrated before or after you started using your shoes.<BR/><BR/>Regardless, a very firm congrats on the 20 mile run. That's fantastic, Petra! From the sounds of it, that's your last long run before the Amsterdam marathon. We're rooting for you!Road Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06185561385105959496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34732546.post-88976506916182535162007-09-30T10:14:00.000+00:002007-09-30T10:14:00.000+00:00Petra,I am so proud of you!

Wow - 20 - wow! <BR/><BR/>3 weeks -- how exciting!<BR/><BR/>A man at the marathon I volunteered at yesterday told me that I was obviously ready for St. Jude NOW (the race is in 9 weeks). That made my day.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516566884075321281noreply@blogger.com
