Not tris, not ultras ... nothing. Decide in advance whether you want to cruise it or race it - because if you're wanting to go fast, you better prepare your butt off.<BR/><BR/>Oh, yeah ... and have fun!Donaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13588564145315857856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636567097339297046.post-82755854515019508552007-09-05T12:18:00.000-05:002007-09-05T12:18:00.000-05:00ooooh yeah. the marathon bug. well... marathon tra...ooooh yeah. the marathon bug. well... marathon training's way harder than triathlon training i've come to find out. with tri's.. you have a variety of things to do.<BR/><BR/>with running? not so much.<BR/><BR/>SO. be prepared for THAT.<BR/><BR/>howevah.. i've found running to be infitinely more giving in terms of what i learn about myself vs. triathlon, so... it has its upsides too!<BR/><BR/>but fyi.. they're not lying.<BR/><BR/>its hard. so definitely DO respect the distance, and you'll be totes fine!a.mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12854668437789278911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636567097339297046.post-85493399216018403732007-09-05T11:57:00.000-05:002007-09-05T11:57:00.000-05:00I was away and totally missed your race report in ...I was away and totally missed your race report in the deluge of posts in Google Reader. Congrats on an awesome race! I never had any doubt that you would do great! And yeah, the marathon is hard, but that's why you build up to it and just expect the last 6 miles to hurt a lot :-) You obviously are good at being a dedicated trainer, so you'll rock that too!Danielle in Iowa in Irelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12274576534281164011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636567097339297046.post-29450863521340056942007-09-05T11:52:00.000-05:002007-09-05T11:52:00.000-05:00Running a marathon will allow you to realize that ...Running a marathon will allow you to realize that running a marathon is freakin' hard.
