Marathon Maniac #957
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
i went out for a run yesterday afternoon but just didn't have anything in the tank
but still feel these funky heart beats.

Thanks Holly. That 20 miler yesterday was really a test for me. I learned a lot yesterday. I learned how to embrace the distance one mile at the time. I found out that I am tougher than I think I am and most importantly, I learned that with Creator's help all things are possible.

i have a question for you early morning runners -- do you eat anything before you head out for your runs?

"Some are the strong, silent type. You can't put your finger on exactly what it is they bring to the table until you run without them and then you realize that their steadiness fills a hole that leaks energy in their absence." - Kristin Armstrong
"During a marathon, I run about two-thirds of the time. That's plenty." - Margaret Davis, 85 Ed Whitlock regarding his 2:54:48 marathon at age 73, "That was a good day. It was never a struggle."

I don't eat anything before running either. If I do I have other problems than a queasy stomach. After about three miles I would be looking for a bathroom.
