And yes, they were tantrums #2 that four months ago I was pregnant. And I'm happy to just be able to run now. Goals are great. PR's are great. I hope to meet both in this next race. But running...being alone with yourself (which in our house is rare) and feeling the wind and being out in the world moving with your own two feet...it's just nice to be able to run!!!The Stoycheffshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13794800148480317795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962382630559934764.post-22717442371402450112012-04-12T11:07:52.957-07:002012-04-12T11:07:52.957-07:00Great advice!!!

Also, it sounds like you might be a bit burned out and maybe a few days off would help?Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05964568427166448009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962382630559934764.post-73261042051543266962012-04-12T08:28:26.224-07:002012-04-12T08:28:26.224-07:00Such good advice - it's so true!

This time around I can already tell I'm much fitter and just a more experienced runner overall.

I don't know why, I am getting better, stronger and faster - but I have such doubts on some runs. Sigh... Good reminder to look back at where we've been and how far we've come. I'm excited to follow you as you hit your next marathon!Barb Ruesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13028828439314972006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962382630559934764.post-49674801402880095002012-04-11T22:53:12.956-07:002012-04-11T22:53:12.956-07:00That was a nice post, thanks for sharing this to u...That was a nice post, thanks for sharing this to us.
