I feel so much better when I've eaten a nice pasta dinner the night before a big run.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10294887079765278004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141971839070256791.post-21880751411758324652010-03-07T14:33:20.904-08:002010-03-07T14:33:20.904-08:00Way to go!

Too funny I should definitely use them some time in one of my long runs (I run with a bunch of guys), it would help the time pass by a bit quicker.Nanny Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00836312159550998339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141971839070256791.post-50020187317221060792010-03-07T12:52:17.427-08:002010-03-07T12:52:17.427-08:00I think all those factors you mention had somethin...I think all those factors you mention had something to do with your PR, but I think the #1 reason that you had a great race was when you said: "Apparently, it's taken me almost five years of running to learn that lesson (or at least to have actively applied the learning to actual practice...)" Great use of the ol' noggin to get the end result! Do you give lessons?<br /><br />Hope your ride goes/went well today.Glenn Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05119271602749821767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141971839070256791.post-3176237345685501362010-03-07T09:11:31.553-08:002010-03-07T09:11:31.553-08:00Sometimes we need the stress in a race, sometimes ...Sometimes we need the stress in a race, sometimes we don't.

I'm going to ride today and everyone will be like - no, I gotta get home OR will go out and just have a snack. Where's the beer, where's the alcohol people, I need to recover for Pete's sake!<br /><br />I LOVE a 15K, I just feel like it's a nice little stretch distance without being a killer.

I guess that's what NOT being in pain does for a person. :) <br /><br />Ditto on the strength training and cross training exercises. I certainly do think it helps. <br /><br />I've been so lame about blogging lately, that it probably won't be until later tonight or sometimes to morrow when I update.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03163803961338323135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141971839070256791.post-5296408211911901942010-03-06T13:38:10.204-08:002010-03-06T13:38:10.204-08:00Nice job, Alice!
