I recently ran Moab in the rain. It was not uncomfortable, it was ecstacy! I put my mind on hold and run (or at least my reasonable facsimile thereof). Remember that no area is really flat as everything has ups and downs. It is just that some areas have more ups and downs than other areas.<BR/><BR/>My frustration recently is with my new iPod Nano. When I run on the treadmill, I generally watch TV with the iPod on the treadmill. I don't use earphones as I don't need them. The click wheel is much smaller than the older iPod Nanos. On several runs, I have inadvertently paused the nike+ chip sensor recording. To get the miles on the iPod after that, I had to run more after restarting the iPod again. I actually thought it might be a plot getting me to run more miles in preparation for a full marathon!<BR/><BR/>Best wishes! I am so excited for you!CewTwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01559024822260264420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34732546.post-89144241698091908242007-10-11T13:03:00.000+00:002007-10-11T13:03:00.000+00:00It still looks beautiful there despite the rain.I ...It still looks beautiful there despite the rain.<BR/>I hope the reunion with your shoes is a quick one. :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08002358365754923715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34732546.post-36166261359184724622007-10-10T07:45:00.000+00:002007-10-10T07:45:00.000+00:00Hi Petra!

If you can get more sleep, you will probably have the wherewithall to handle all the rest! :-) And sometimes, letting the 7 year old do things really gives them a lift. I let mine paint my toe nails today :-). She had a great time and, well, all my toes look kind of the same.<BR/><BR/>Relax, and get excited for your race (just 2 more weeks). We will be checking on your finish and thinking about you that day for sure!! :-)MarathonChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11514736136940315768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34732546.post-23551548295618712702007-10-07T20:12:00.000+00:002007-10-07T20:12:00.000+00:00Petra, sounds like a nice running trip for you, ev...Petra, sounds like a nice running trip for you, even with rain and hills.<BR/><BR/>I'm frustrated of late myself over some of the things I had planned to accomplish this year, but didn't.

That's what friends do.<BR/><BR/>I wish we could get live updates of your race progression. However I will have a nine or ten hour time difference that day. Guess who's logging in to see the final results before she heads off to her own starting line?Maddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05542368231175080980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34732546.post-52432268927728538522007-10-06T12:34:00.000+00:002007-10-06T12:34:00.000+00:00Hi Petra!

Perhaps there's some other way to add nonrecorded miles to the GPHC? I mean, it's a friendly challenge and no one would want you to overdo things during your taper or have to deal with added frustration on top of everything else, would they? And if there's no way to do that, then the hell with it. You KNOW that less is best during a taper anyway. Don't sweat the little things in life ;-)ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.com
