(Not the injury one... that's always my biggest fear and there is absolutely nothing exciting about painfully sitting runs out.)<br /><br />I think it's the stuff that scares us that ends up being the most awesome. Anytime I'm half-scared, half-excited... I know it's gonna be good... or at least be a good story. :)<br /><br />I think the scariest thing about the marathon is the unknown and the distance. I know what my body is capable of up to a certain distance... oh like 16-20 miles, but I'm just not sure what pace I would be able to maintain and still make it all the way to the finish before dying. <br /><br />You're a pro though! You know your body and the distance and you can do it again and better! I'm totally rooting for that 3:30 or below! :)jclayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07182967235372429260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043717769175855198.post-12075491252143214342012-01-18T10:34:40.476-08:002012-01-18T10:34:40.476-08:00Nothing about this is scary to me because you are ...Nothing about this is scary to me because you are 100% capable of conquering everything you list. Come down to UT county and do long runs with me?<br /><br />In my opinion the worst thing about marathon training is definitely taking on the LR alone. I really hate that but you are strong and can and will rock it. You are incredibly smart and realistic and that is half the battle. :)Rachelle Wardlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05924064419764851273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043717769175855198.post-7376300930431199692012-01-18T10:08:01.004-08:002012-01-18T10:08:01.004-08:00You can do it, just believe in yourself!

You are the true definition of a RUNNER! Marathons are scary and I have only done one. I applied to NYC this year and if I get accepted I think the scariest pert will be fear of getting injured. I can deal with the stress of having to train alone and such but my legs seem to hate me these days so I will have to make a huge effort to stretch/foam roll/yoga/strength train to ensure I am 100%!Christina @ The Athletarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07328839478273608532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043717769175855198.post-43785769981990291752012-01-18T05:48:52.321-08:002012-01-18T05:48:52.321-08:00Each part of this reminded me of how much we were ...Each part of this reminded me of how much we were like. I wish you could have been around when I was getting ready for the Marine Corp Marathon back in October. My goal was to run 4:15 which is a long way from 3:30 but I came down with IT Band syndrome and fought it the entire training cycle. The only cure was for me to slow down and wear a strap around me knee. I went to ASTYM therapy 4 times the week before the race just so I COULD run in some amount of peace. <br /><br />I know that all sounds crazy but I too ran and trained alone for the most part. I would have people run segments with me but I was usually alone for at least half of the run. <br /><br />Trust in yourself!! I'm excited to see how things go for you! I've read about this race and it looks really neat!Coy Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00144649093762262574noreply@blogger.com
