I can definitely empathize with you as I have had my fair share of these type of runs this year.robtherunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066981363064781863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28167702.post-1152582957331144242006-07-10T18:55:00.000-07:002006-07-10T18:55:00.000-07:00Well hey -- walking 7 miles is further than most p...Well hey -- walking 7 miles is further than most people in the US could do!

Are you doing any more 20+ mile runs before the 29th?matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437311905789119665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28167702.post-1152564578940380602006-07-10T13:49:00.000-07:002006-07-10T13:49:00.000-07:00I can't imagine the stamina it took to keep going....I can't imagine the stamina it took to keep going. I think we've all had bad runs, but to stay out there when it was a long run is impressive. I don't even know if you made that many mistakes, maybe you were just tired from being out of town - that does it for a lot of people. As far as positives, think about what enduring all of that did for you mental ability.Ginger Breadmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024143089442382318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28167702.post-1152553991752441922006-07-10T10:53:00.000-07:002006-07-10T10:53:00.000-07:00Yeah, I liked the positive ending:) It does suck a...Yeah, I liked the positive ending:) It does suck at times, but the important thing is to learn lesson, and even if we repeat mistakes, at least not kill ourselves over it:)Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28167702.post-1152549489671630652006-07-10T09:38:00.000-07:002006-07-10T09:38:00.000-07:00Way to look at the positives- it is all about time...Way to look at the positives- it is all about time on your feet- and pushing through the mental stuff as well- which you did, though it wasn't fun :(.
