I post about running a few times a year. And judging by my "unofficial" time (I haven't looked up my real time still), you beat me by a good :90-2 minutes.

And was probably just a handful of runners ahead of you (2:04:20)... I really connected with this entry because I too started running to lose weight. I too beat myself up over taking last week off to recover. The only difference is my inner demon is named "my former fat kid"..J*Sofehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12131946407065701648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060436128493311648.post-14487792498734981922012-05-16T12:02:56.158-04:002012-05-16T12:02:56.158-04:00Never giving up.

I think a break from the half would be good for me. I'm aiming for the Seaside Park half in fall of 2013. But you can bet I'll be running plenty between now and then. Including 2-3 long runs a month.Daddy Knows Lesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703414937384078870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060436128493311648.post-1084155607289554182012-05-16T12:01:09.213-04:002012-05-16T12:01:09.213-04:00Yes...

I have a long record of 10Ks and improving my times so it wasn't a big deal. In preparation for this half marathon I worked out my legs more at the gym and run progressively but never gave my best during training.

Thanks for helping me realize that our "troubles" are not our own but shared but each of us that laces it up. I hope that you realize that no matter what the clock says, Peanut thinks you won.

I know I couldn't run 13 feet let alone 13 miles. Thats just crazy! I could never enter something like this because I would be too compelled to want to win and I know that I couldn't.

Take time to congtatulate yourself for the accomplishment bc it is impressive.<br />I think that feeling of being too hard on ourselves is what drives us.

Don't let that feeling go away.<br />Good luck on your speed.jetts31https://www.blogger.com/profile/12921709684430981893noreply@blogger.com
