You guys will be amazed at how much better your body will feel after a century than it does after a long run. I swear. After my first century, I swore I would never run or do a marathon again unless being chased by a pack of dogs. So here I am....

I agree! I have never felt so tired and fatigued then after finishing a marathon. It took me two weeks to feel "normal" after my first and almost a week after my second. But I can bike a century and back to back centuries (STP) and still feel tired but not like I have been run over by a mack truck, so that's why I have been doing halfs. I just must not been made to run the marathons. I follow training plans and cover the miles too. My hat is off to all of you ladies who can run marathon after marathon.
Lise, I agree I am missing my biking time. It is hard because you want to do both and there isn't enough time for both.
My family is planning to do the Las Vegas half in December. Anybody doing this one?Anita "Shiraz"
