Long Runs -- Week of 11/6

[Running Mommy]

It took me just over 3 hours. Not much fun, but long runs never really are. I wish I could just get to the race already!
They say that the training is way harder than the race, and I think I have to agree. I find myself questioning my sanity every few miles.

I think training is harder. Not just the milage, but the discipline required to actually get out and do the miles when you'd rather sleep in or when the weather is not ideal. Are you training for a full and did a 1/2 yesterday ? Good luck !


Thanks Tri Girl I was driving around today scouting out places to ride

Yes, I definitely agree. Training is so much more of a mental challenge. I told my husband it often either feels like a second job or a second marriage depending on what day you ask me

For some reason a 3 hour bike ride doesn't phase me as much as a 3 hour run. I guess cycling comes easier, so it's easy to go longer distances and enjoy it rather than feel like every mile is a battle.
