Basically my motivation to run is waning faster than my legs will allow me to run :p<br />I'd probs run up to midtown from my apartment & then head back downtown with you from there.

It ended up being a SUPER run and the stress was unnecessary. I had never run over 12 without some kind of break before, and I felt pretty great almost the whole time and never even considering stopping because I had so much great momentum that I was afraid to lose. I think the thing that made it so great was a new playlist, a new course, and bringing water with me (a treat! i NEVER bring water when I run).<br /><br />You'll love it!!Robin Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971302802330745187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463314611580360925.post-41093269245031762452010-08-18T14:15:18.454-04:002010-08-18T14:15:18.454-04:00Madison- I love looking at it as delicious treat b...Madison- I love looking at it as delicious treat breaks! That is too funny. I love my delicious treats! Maybe I should bring a cookie with me for mile 10 :p<br /><br />Lisa--I will absolutely have music with me for some of those miles. Again, around mile 8-10 I'll definitely need to pump in the tunes. I'm talking with a friend and it's likely we'll meet up for the last 5 miles or so which should help TREMENDOUSLY! I'll likely be hallucinating at that point and my conversation will be minimal, but it will be comforting to have someone there!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540440810449410755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463314611580360925.post-4540872754327868172010-08-18T13:54:37.498-04:002010-08-18T13:54:37.498-04:00You can do it!

When I have had a long run to run by myself, I find that a good book on tape on my iPod works wonders. Then I usually need music to get me through the last couple of miles.<br /><br />Good luck!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902589811626771148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463314611580360925.post-42155727757573709172010-08-18T13:22:39.438-04:002010-08-18T13:22:39.438-04:00I like the way you have mentally broken up the dis...I like the way you have mentally broken up the distance... that helps A LOT! I seperate my long runs into "Gu Breaks"... every 5 miles I get a delicious treat!<br /><br />Good luck... and make sure you bask in the glory of running over a half marathon for training run. It's a pretty cool feeling!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463314611580360925.post-30563118912032407462010-08-18T12:05:08.344-04:002010-08-18T12:05:08.344-04:00You can do it Sam- I have total faith in you!You can do it Sam- I have total faith in you!Erica Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14319349141820943711noreply@blogger.com
