If it was my first distance race I would have been fine, but I considered myself a veteran of the Half-Marathon by that point. Unfortunately, because of the veteran spirit I ran this Marathon like a Half--and paid the price.sRodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02970952645043027136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080080454839687419.post-45890288182519312662009-04-22T16:29:00.000-04:002009-04-22T16:29:00.000-04:00You can do it, I know it.

This is why I love the FIRST program. With only 3 runs a week, I did not get any injury during this training cycle. As Aron said, keep working hard, and when it comes, you are going to enjoy it even more!!! It is an unbelievable experience!

So, forget about the "rickety joints of a eighty year old" and just "Do It." You're 20 something and a beer drinker. That's 2 things you have in your favor! :-)Marathonman101108https://www.blogger.com/profile/01653913024687849329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080080454839687419.post-16903094046654304192009-04-21T17:07:00.000-04:002009-04-21T17:07:00.000-04:00Love the goal!
