Subject: RE: Headless Horsemen Team Threadsome of you are pretty serious runners! maybe one day i'll be able to say "oh, today's just an easy 10 miles -- i wouldn't want to be tired for my race tomorrow". Right now it's more like "heading out for 4 miles - be back in a couple of hours" =P
It's all about levels. Once you get to where a 4 mile run seems short, and you will if you keep at it, you'll get there. A few years ago a 10 mile run was a 2 or 3 day a week occurance, now it's something I build to. No shame in just doing what you are comfortable with. What the challenge will hopefully do is push you a little bit out of your comfort zone and make you do a little more. Don't over do it, but DO it. Speaking of which, knocked out a nice 9 miler this morning. Temps in the 60s, no wind, and no bathroomus interruptus. Always a good thing. |
