I plan on going easy the first 14 miles, and then go faster if I feel OK. Since this is my first full, I'd rather just relish it than stress over whether I'll make my goal time.<br /><br />I can't wait for our pre-CIM dinner! I think we should have some sort of pow-wow in S.F. the week following the race, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576247921509925121.post-40032551836293606252011-11-26T22:07:42.597-08:002011-11-26T22:07:42.597-08:00Hoping so!

People have definitely told me to be careful on the early downhills, because it feels easy but is really hard on your legs.Angela Knottshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596658700954456205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576247921509925121.post-63306593562007865102011-11-26T20:01:36.539-08:002011-11-26T20:01:36.539-08:00I'm shaking in my boots over how to handle the...I'm shaking in my boots over how to handle the "rolling hills" next week. I know I will burn through my legs too early with those downhills, just know it. I like the feel/effort plan you have going on. I think you've got this. And as you train in SF....the hills will be little ant-hills to you ;)RoseRunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06771324416061217852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576247921509925121.post-52677039968471861752011-11-22T11:36:42.297-08:002011-11-22T11:36:42.297-08:00This is some great thinking!

I've learned that I don't do well with a set training plan, because I really have to listen to my injury-prone body. Plus, that frees me up to just enjoy running, and to revel in the fact that all odds say I should NOT be able to run marathons.<br /><br />But most runners I know DO follow pretty strict training plans, so I understand that. I actually envy you guys, because your lives look so much ordered than mine. It's a great sign that you've found a balance between these two opposites. I think you have the perfect attitude for CIM, and I really hope you relish the experience. There will always be more marathons, but you only get one first marathon. Take it all in, and reach that finish line with a smile!Laylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14289344501168317316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576247921509925121.post-83819816080774613142011-11-22T05:55:02.169-08:002011-11-22T05:55:02.169-08:00The way you look at things always seems spot on to...The way you look at things always seems spot on to me!
