But with endurance sports, it seems it's all about finding ways to keep doing things. I try to always look for the positives when things don't go as I'd like and almost always learn more from a bad race than a good race. Good job getting to the finish and to everyone in your family too!ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383990574601855462.post-50460786138782930522010-06-03T14:36:52.968-04:002010-06-03T14:36:52.968-04:00Great mileage, great race :D Great job ;DGreat mileage, great race :D Great job ;DLaurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02051001544778172019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383990574601855462.post-71314513107982460052010-06-03T11:10:26.897-04:002010-06-03T11:10:26.897-04:00153 miles in the month of May?

I have been trying not to look at my watch and just listen to my body, but sometimes, the brain takes over and it's rough.

It's good to know that even strong runners such as yourself are affected by it too!<br /><br />I also want to say a quick thank you. I don't know if you caught my blog post about my new "freedom" a few days ago or not, but I just want you to know that you're a true inspiration. Whether you know it or not--whether THEY know it or not--your readers are touched by your posts. :)Pam @ herbieontherun.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08198123992152626641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383990574601855462.post-380091012913941342010-06-02T10:25:22.724-04:002010-06-02T10:25:22.724-04:00Oh, mental defeat is tough. One thing I do to TRY...Oh, mental defeat is tough. One thing I do to TRY to prevent it is I decide before every 5K NOT to look at my watch at mile 2.5 of a 5K (or mile 5.5 of a 10K). I will look at my pace, but not my time. Because if my pace is on track, that's good & I will almost always kick it up anyway, but if I look a the time elapsed I spend 1/4 of a mile figuring out the splits and start to think I'm not going to "make the goal". One time doing this I completely gave up... only to realize later I could have probably made it! THE WORST FEELING EVER.<br />Congrats on a great month though - don't fret about the long run not being 14, honestly 13.5 on hills is the same as 14, and seriously, I've never read a blog you've written about a flat run!gba_gf https://www.blogger.com/profile/12162567892978000635noreply@blogger.com
