Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 You should be VERY proud of that run! And to have " gas " enough to feel like you could pull out another three miles, that's awesome! I don't think you'll have any problem with a half or full marathon. I always do that, too, try to judge at the end of a race how much farther I think I could run if I had to. It makes me feel strong when I realize I could do more miles. It also makes me decide to do longer and longer races, but hey, that's a good thing!!! April > Thanks April! I'm kinda proud of the run.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Cool! Towards the end of my long run yesterday I felt like I could go on for another couple of miles. (It was an 8 mile run.) I raced a guy into the finish. I just get so competitive and was okay with pacing him, but he wanted to pass me and well, I couldn't let THAT happen! When we finished he came up to me and said, " Thanks for that little push at the end! " > Re: To Danskin or Not to > Danskin > > > > > > > > > I'm so glad you decided to do Danskin.
