But this week, every single run I've felt so much stronger. And I'm running faster at similar efforts. It's been a good week and I'm psyched to see what I have next Saturday.
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
Nice interval workout on 4/16 Mishka. Enjoyed the notes and comments about the different types of pain during racing. I didn't like the shorter events in track and never had a lot of success at them. Back in the day I attributed it to a lack of natural speed. Now that I'm older I think the real reason was that I didn't understand the temporary nature of the pain for these races and was afraid to push enough.
I'm curious about next weekend too for you. For sure, it's gonna be intense. You are rollin' right now, keep it going.
Me too. Good luck Llama!

Just because running is simple does not mean it is easy.
Relentless. Forward. Motion. <repeat>
Runners run
Long run, 20 miles. Not what I planned. Beautiful day and I got carried away. Had fun, felt strong. The last 30 min was hard work, but I also picked up the pace in the last 4 miles.
AWESOME LLAMA! Is the love back?
Thanks, guys! Long run, 20 miles. Not what I planned. Beautiful day and I got carried away. Had fun, felt strong. The last 30 min was hard work, but I also picked up the pace in the last 4 miles. .
Why is it sideways?
You went from a long run of 12 milers to 15 to 20 in about 3 weeks time. How did you manage that? Are you Superman?
I've been running for 14 years, but I'm not still sure what I'm doing. At least not with this phase of my lifetime of running.

But, one thing that history gives me is a familiarity with the discomfort of running hard.
The process is the goal.

Mishka, will your race be carried live on Universal Sports? I didn't see it listed, that must be an oversight.
