Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience. You don't so much outrun your opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head." - Joe Henderson

"Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be' - she always called me Elwood - 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant."
Saw the race report--nice job! My first is less than a month, on Oct 7th. I don't feel at all prepared...
Hope you are done by now and I hope it went well!
Thanks Peter!! I'm running another one on Oct 7th as well! Which marathon are you doing?
I'm doing the Maine Marathon in....you guessed it....Maine! The race is only around 20 miles from where we lived so it seemed like a good first one. I've got a 17 miler tomorrow, a 20 miler next week, then a couple weeks of taper before the race. Wish me luck!
