Chalk it up as good mental training. I often find workouts like that are where I learn the most.ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34732546.post-37708036262236309672009-08-10T16:08:37.501+00:002009-08-10T16:08:37.501+00:00I just found your blog through Aron's!!

So is a marathon. Remember that every day is different from the other day. <br /><br />Second, to handle a 20-miler in unknown territory adds to the equation. I did once in Washington DC, and traced a route to make sure I was not going to be running back and forth. Results? I did run around bad parts of time. People asked me why did I do that? Well, I didn't know until I got there. <br /><br />Third, the trail is over, then sand, then beach, then wind, then sand in the face.<br /><br />Fourth, it was hot!!!!<br /><br />Please, give you all the credit that you deserve for still doing it, for getting up and start in the treadmill instead of going back to bed, for enjoying a beautiful run in a paradisiacal place. Life is short, think positively on what you did and not negatively on what you didn't.<br /><br />sincere-lee<br />lizzie leelizzie leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461437927126657873noreply@blogger.com
