If I didn't like what I saw I would let it affect my whole mental state - and I don't want it affecting my running.Fruit Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747205899650070873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-85321652595372692312011-05-07T21:49:35.604-04:002011-05-07T21:49:35.604-04:00Great post!

I definitely get tons of great inspiration from reading other blogs, and I love that...but I need to remember that everyone is in a different place and has different abilities. I started blogging because I wanted to run ONE half marathon, maybe a full. But within weeks I was thinking about a race SCHEDULE, and maybe I should do triathlon, and maybe I can qualify for Boston one day...<br /><br />I need to remember to pace myself, and enjoy the journey instead of focusing on the destination.<br /><br />Also: Mmmmm, Nutella :)Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17504673557922103766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-27900430691080363812011-05-06T18:04:17.666-04:002011-05-06T18:04:17.666-04:00We don't have a scale and haven't for year...We don't have a scale and haven't for years and its incredibleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-21676268159346778372011-05-06T11:01:09.944-04:002011-05-06T11:01:09.944-04:00Great post!

This time around I followed a plan but told myself it's not set in stone and also don't cheat myself cause it will show come marathon day. If I have to skip a run I try to make it up another day or even break up the run to morning and afternoon when I have more time. <br /><br />Emz is freaking awesome!!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915445766937263434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-91588235065537046152011-05-05T18:47:29.812-04:002011-05-05T18:47:29.812-04:00I'd finished a jar and then some of Nutella ;)...I'd finished a jar and then some of Nutella ;) it's sooo yummy!!! xooxCaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05796297392211742593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-56790420244962449502011-05-05T18:41:25.063-04:002011-05-05T18:41:25.063-04:00Can you just come live by me so we can be friends ...Can you just come live by me so we can be friends because I think you are my twin.
