But it's also the best place to get some serious thinking done.<br /><br />The one part I loved about long-range running was the time I had to myself just to think. When you're out there running, are you thinking about your life and making plans, or are you still at the stage where you're just barely getting through?<br /><br />Hey, we all need to start from where we stand, but once you get there - exercise starts taking on a whole new level for you.<br /><br />I wish you much success and if you're not there yet, don't worry, you will beAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14530479217787180406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-55970365114576096012010-09-22T22:32:16.212-05:002010-09-22T22:32:16.212-05:00Completion is a great goal and you that hill DID l...Completion is a great goal and you that hill DID look really, really long.

The only way I can get a flat run is to drive myself to the high school track - lol!<br /><br />Hill repeats are freaking hard. You do the best you can and it sounds just like you did and you did fine!<br /><br />So proud to read of all your dogged determination to get through this training.

I know what you me...Well done on the runs Shelley.<br /><br />I know what you mean about that long run on Saturday. I have to do 6.8 miles next Saturday and already think too much about it. In the car this morning I said to myself I could split it up, then I said no you can do it, then I said skip it and do a 5K and all because long runs kind of scare me. It's stupid because I can always walk if I want to and I always make it when I do it. But the human mind can play dirty tricks on you.<br /><br />Where I live there are no hills either. Holland is a pretty flat country. There are two areas where there are "little" hills and I signed up for a race in one of those areas with 7 hills. What the heck was I thinking? 7 hills and 9.3 miles. <br /><br />I'm proud of you my friend.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287705328335828286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-28185686261366154902010-09-22T06:40:43.004-05:002010-09-22T06:40:43.004-05:00Morning, Shelley!

I stopped and stretched and it was all better. I don't know what made me think of stretching. That was the only time that ever happened to me. It happens in bed in the morning way too often.<br /><br />I am having so much fun hearing about your training. Its motivating me to keep trying!debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967505760808535408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-31425557304934601872010-09-22T06:05:39.181-05:002010-09-22T06:05:39.181-05:00Ok, I am SO jealous that you have to look for a hi...Ok, I am SO jealous that you have to look for a hill.
