I hate that feeling of not being able to breathe for 3 miles.<BR/><BR/>I feel like marathon training has definitely not helped me with speed. I haven't been very good about my speed intervals or tempo runs. YOU have, though, whether by training runs or all these races you've been doing.

Which translates to: High expectations and massive disappointments." <BR/><BR/>I understand what would compel you to say that, but you rock. don't beat yourself up. if you can do a training run in 3:30, you can make your goal of 3:59.<BR/><BR/>stay as sane as one can during taper.Spikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04954768449359026865noreply@blogger.com
