1. I LOVE the feel of a new pair of running shoes, I hate getting little stones in my shoes.
2. I LOVE the feeling of a second wind, I hate the first few steps of just about every run
3. I LOVE watching my mileage totals go up during the month, I hate the first day of the month/year when my total is a big fat zero.
4. I LOVE standing at the starting line of a race, I hate the congestion at the aide stations
5. I LOVE my Garmin 201 GPS, I hate accidentally hitting the off button during a run
6. I LOVE a well marked course, I hate trying to figure out where the next turn is, especially after 10 miles
7. I LOVE trail runs, I hate the hills
8. I LOVE it when my wife is there for the long races, I hate it when she does not go to the shorter ones….
9. I LOVE talking about running/racing, I hate it when non-runners call every race a marathon
10. And most importantly, I LOVE my wife, I hate it that a bum knee keeps her from running with me

What do you LOVE and hate about running, let me know.

Any chance this 36 year old sprint to middle distance runner could turn into a long distance marathon runner? I have been a runner on and off since my competitive high school track days. I was an avid 400 meter runner. I currently run 4 to 6 miles every other day. Any tips? Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post/feedback. I do think a middle distance runner can run marathons, look at alot of the top professional marathoners, they came from a middle distance back ground. Tips...listen to your body and don't jump your mileage more then 10%. Best of luck...can't wait to here how you do!
