I have cycled a great deal this year, and the run was such a let down and seemingly much more difficult. I know my feelings about running will change as I see improvement.

I love running, have some knee problems though. I am only starting...I walk, building up quite a speed, then break into a slow jog, then faster, then back to walking, then jogging again, to running, then back to walking again. Is is a good way to begin? Songs I love while running are Beyonce - single ladies Britney Spears = womaniser Rhianna - Umbrella How did your marathon go??

Thank you for your blog- it entertained me for about half an hour yesterday before my kids got off the bus. I am running my first marathon in OKla. this Sunday and am excited and terrrified but your stories are helping calm me. Have run two half marathons so far this year but had bronchitis for the last month (!) and the training went to crap but am still gonna persevere (walk a lot). Hope all is well with the family! Thanks again for the inspiration! Good morning!

My first marathon is over . . . by mamamarathoner http://mamamarathoner.wordpress.com/2008/02/03/i-did-it-my-first-marathon-is-over/#comment-72 mamamarathoner Tue, 01 Apr 2008 14:10:39 +0000 http://mamamarathoner.wordpress.com/?p=62#comment-72 That's really interesting about the bathroom! I read something recently in one of my running magazines about digestion and the bathroom-I'll have to pull that out and post. I know that it happens to a lot of long distance runners. the toilets were a mess LOL! So yours is coming up in two weeks, yay! Congrats, check back and let us know how it goes. I made it under 5 hours, but barely. I'm hoping for 4:30 on my next one. I've been doing some speed work and have improved my time by half a minute but don't know if I can carry that over for every single mile I run. If I do, well, that would be fantastic! Also, hoping the weather conditions are much more conducive to racing-it was horrible that day!! Good luck, and let us know how it goes!! That’s really interesting about the bathroom!

]]> Comment on Ultra Races-Am I crazy? by Justin http://mamamarathoner.wordpress.com/2008/03/30/ultra-races-am-i-crazy/#comment-71 Justin Mon, 31 Mar 2008 09:50:43 +0000 http://mamamarathoner.wordpress.com/?p=70#comment-71 I know I have. I love a good challenge, the underdog role, and people thinking a good pace for me is about 30 seconds slower then my goal. Not so much because I want them to be surprised, but because I want running to be mine - I'll set the time & distance goal and see what I can accomplish. I'm not always sure this is healthy, but at least awareness can lead to further reflection. Perhaps on a 20 mile training run :-) I say go for your goals, when you stop dreaming and hoping are you really alive? Nothing wrong with being content, but in some sort of balance with hopes and dreams... I know I have.
