I cannot say enough how much these big ...Thank you! I cannot say enough how much these big miles help. It's kind of obvious really, run lots and lots and you'll get....better ;) I feel like I've definitely lost a bit of weight (not that the scales show much difference but I feel it) and that helps too, but my 'fitness' is just so much better than it was. I think I mean aerobic capacity by fitness but not sure. It's a time suck and has been very hard with my husband being away for so long (rules out early morning runs) but I am loving it, running has become way less laboured and is starting to feel the way it used to when I was a teenager. Excited to see what I can do if I can stay healthy and string together high miles week in week out next year. Have done 10 this morning with 8 at threshold now I have to do 17 this afternoon as I can't run tomorrow and I'll still be on target for weekly total, I got told I was an addict at the Y today! Yes, yes I am ;) Merry Christmas. ps highly recommend Steve Boone races if you're looking for a fun low key type affair. I really enjoy smaller races so they suit me.

I had no idea what my time was or how far I'd run until I finished. The couple that organized it and other local marathons are incredible, they give so much of their time so people like me can turn up and have a well supported event so I would NEVER complain! It also meant an extra few minutes of freedom from my small friends ;) Have a merry 1st Christmas with your new addition, happy times :)Vicky Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16786952457058276684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8271878997014339241.post-8677963352823906012012-12-22T20:00:21.384-08:002012-12-22T20:00:21.384-08:00Congrats on a ridiculously good race!
