I'm stuck comparing myself to others with 85000 miles lifetime - they're mostly 20 years older than me.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29677084.post-1118996394452501962013-04-07T05:01:56.252-05:002013-04-07T05:01:56.252-05:00Ha, ha, 30 is old and slowing down? If that's ...Ha, ha, 30 is old and slowing down? If that's so, I must be dead. Happy running and good luck on your speed. Enjoy your time with Henry (mine graduates college next month--how did that happen?).<br />Cheers and if it makes you feel better about your crappy March weather, we just got dumped with 8 inches of wet, heavy, disgusting snow.Cinthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319692437720914477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29677084.post-62347262175028994592013-04-06T19:55:10.596-05:002013-04-06T19:55:10.596-05:00Thanks Sarah!

It's all about balance, and right now I need to lay off the miles and work on the speed. <br /><br />That's what I love about racing: everyone has such different goals. A GREAT race for me is a HORRIBLE race for many of my speedy friends. A HORRIBLE race for me might be a GREAT race for someone else.<br /><br />Happy training!Steve Stenzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11419298404210612118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29677084.post-55221254326220735172013-04-06T18:09:42.028-05:002013-04-06T18:09:42.028-05:00I love that you mention you're OKAY with short...I love that you mention you're OKAY with shortening your distances. For a lot of us just getting into running, we hear people wanting to go farther and farther FASTER, which can be rather intimidating when you're still working hard to perfect your own solid three mile runs. It's just nice to hear that there are people okay with running shorter, faster- who ARE serious athletes. (Yes, that's a nod to your awesome speed & ability!)<br /><br />Running is a reward in itself, regardless of miles, and it's nice to be reminded of that! <br /><br />Sarah<br />www.thinfluenced.comSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429074991314349493noreply@blogger.com
