Perhaps the reason you ran so fast (and that was SO fast! Damn you. I mean...) was you have actually been training in warmer than 29 lately and 29 felt awesome to your body and you were ready for it because of the boot camp of heat leading up to it... eh? Just keep telling yourself it will make for an even faster marathon.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614129246696786322.post-61106278617706019292010-07-16T09:25:18.713-07:002010-07-16T09:25:18.713-07:00steveq - I figured even you wouldn't run on a ...steveq - I figured even you wouldn't run on a compound fracture (if indeed you ever had one) i just threw the word compound in for the cringe factor. And you are absolutely right that feeling crappy before a work-out or race can have a psychological impact on performance. And if you are now thinking that sentences should not start with a conjunction, you are also absolutely right about that.PiccolaPineConehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520539255908849462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614129246696786322.post-30549957070804481872010-07-16T08:23:00.965-07:002010-07-16T08:23:00.965-07:00I have NEVER had a compound fracture!

Week after week of oppressive humidity. This morning I relaxed in the relative comfort of 75 degrees (24C) and 75% humidity at 6 AM, but it's back to swampiness tomorrow for my long run.<br /><br />One caveat about your rule: how a runner feels about the upcoming run can affect the run. Nervousness, a feeling that one hasn't had adequate rest, etc. can all doom a run before it starts.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614129246696786322.post-60286310096596176872010-07-16T04:17:15.067-07:002010-07-16T04:17:15.067-07:00You know that people usually go to Italy because o...You know that people usually go to Italy because of its nice weather. So it is supposed to be like that! :)<br />You are completely right that how one feels before a work-out has no effect on an outcome. But I always remember this only after the workout, never before:)mmmonykahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09703551248084847150noreply@blogger.com
