Obviously, you're much better at it than I am--and I am grateful.<BR/><BR/>Boo: You're running? That's wonderful--since you're my long distance coach. I have spent time cross training this week, and will try to add some resistance training, too. BTW--I joke that I get a runner's high by the time I run .25 miles.Girl With Curious Hairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07572130487626244910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153424053459156211.post-43366767093149106852008-06-11T07:51:00.000-07:002008-06-11T07:51:00.000-07:00I don't know about you, but my body does not react...I don't know about you, but my body does not react well to the same exercize often--<BR/><BR/>When I was training, I would take every couple of days to do heavy weights at the gym with my legs. It was the perfect balance for me. I know it isn't recommended in the typical training course, but fuck that noise! Everyone's body is different. <BR/><BR/>Don't compare yourself to other people--think back to what you have truly accomplished already!! <BR/><BR/>I went running this morning for the first time in about 2 months. Er, maybe 3 (ouch). And I ran about 1/2 a mile. So, yeah, that should make you feel better. heh. Just think of me cursing with every. fucking. step. Even the evil dogs down the street didn't bark at me this morning. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153424053459156211.post-33673108955579008072008-06-10T18:23:00.000-07:002008-06-10T18:23:00.000-07:00Buddy, you know how proud I am of you and how awes...Buddy, you know how proud I am of you and how awesome I think you are. It's cool to get frustrated, especially when you feel like you're body is rebelling. There are some people who are born natural runners; the rest of us have to deal with legs who don't want to move the way we want them to.<BR/><BR/>I send you all my extra strength through the highways and biways of the interwebs. I miss hitting the open road so bad.<BR/><BR/>3 miles in 35 minutes is nothing to sniff at. You're going to kick ass in the fall. And there is no shame in using an old person as inspiration to keep up the pace. I always find the oldest person near me at the end of the race and force myself to overtake them before the finish line. Then I pee in my pants.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153424053459156211.post-83724280297024160232008-06-10T07:02:00.000-07:002008-06-10T07:02:00.000-07:00Some days are just harder than others.

It might help to know that there are many of us out here in the blogosphere who are proud of what you're doing, particularly because it's difficult. If it was easy, it wouldn't be a challenge or a sacrifice!Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072823671131219906noreply@blogger.com
