The two I find the hardest are to go slow (I dislike having runners pass me thinking how slow I am...I automatically think they aren't running as far as me) and being prepared with food/hydration. I like your thinking!RunnerGirl_Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288771483578903319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3170977810887789783.post-90801580827210768622013-07-30T12:05:46.845-07:002013-07-30T12:05:46.845-07:00I started blogging as a means to document my train...I started blogging as a means to document my training and general thoughts :-) Kimmiehttp://runningtoherdreams.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3170977810887789783.post-84316643550896801292013-07-29T21:15:49.373-07:002013-07-29T21:15:49.373-07:00Hey!

Blogging helps me get through :) I tell my blog I'm going to run X amount of miles, and when I'm at mile 8-11 I know I want to finish so I can post my long run! I am actually planning on doing a post on long runs, but it may be a while. But here is a little list :)<br /><br />1. Be prepared (clothes, food)<br />2. Music!<br />3. Tell people before, you'll want to tell them how you did.<br />4. Go slow<br />5. Run where you like to run. This was big for me adding mileage. If I ran on flat, fun paths it gave me a big mental advantage! <br /><br />Good luck! And like hearing your progress!

You should do the Navy run...it's a fairly flat course with over 1000 runners. I think that's why I do it...seeing that many runners take off always gets my adrenaline going!!!<br /><br />I love reading other peoples blogs as it always gives me other ideas as to how to improve mine. I think I'm hooked on the link you have on your site of Running Bloggers!RunnerGirl_Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288771483578903319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3170977810887789783.post-15633609921755056822013-07-28T12:00:44.299-07:002013-07-28T12:00:44.299-07:00Ugh, that sucks (knee).

It's always so hard to change plans, but it sounds like you have a good attitude :)<br /><br />I started blogging for what sounds like similar reasons as you did - half to motivate myself, half hoping I might be able to help others. I always learn so much from reading other blogs, so hopefully I can do the same!<br /><br />I've actually been thinking a bit about doing the Navy 10K too - I'd really like to do a couple of 5-10K races, so maybe that will be it! I'm also planning on doing the 5K runway run in September. janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03690407500957504322noreply@blogger.com
