It was hard, and I think it has been evident the pat few months - like 6 or so - that I have been struggling. This was all I could think of which could help my situation. <BR/><BR/>A big part of how and why I could do this - wass that I removed numbers from my head. This has had a huge impact on my running - not just in races, but in training. <BR/><BR/>I now have pace and time goals, specifically for two races - a 5K in May, and the CRIM 10 miler in August. I am training smart - I think!!! - and there really is nothing but myself stopping me from ucceeding. <BR/><BR/>I do tell you though - going from 8 mile runs to running in 60 second intervals really made me wonder. But I am reteaching my body, so I am being very strict with doing exactly what the C25K program states... no more... no less. It is the no more part that could trip me up... but as Steve Runner says - follow the plan and it will work... do more or less and you can hurt. DO NOT DEVIATE FROM THE PLAN. <BR/><BR/>So.. here is to no deviation!!!Jenniferlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14791622226274666208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29269363.post-2569527038334122222007-03-27T11:00:00.000-04:002007-03-27T11:00:00.000-04:00You should be proud of yourself for acknowleding t...You should be proud of yourself for acknowleding the need to start fresh and doing it! Most of us runners get so hooked into our distance and times that we can take that crucial step - to rest when we need to, back off when we need to, start over when we need to. I have a very hard time with all those things. On the other hand, after nine years of running and two half-marathons, my heart was giving me such fits that I had to drop back to three mile runs, running 3 or 4/walking 3 or 4. It took a while for my health to settle down and for me to get back to where I am. So, I say - good for you! You'll be back strong before you know it!Backofpackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13779487553272296752noreply@blogger.com
