But before the end of the summer I want to run it out to Woodinville, where I plan to meet up with friends at the Red Hook brewery, drink beer, and get driven home in the style I may by then deserve.Rionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07423148323012201779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12035008.post-1118171827760009112005-06-07T12:17:00.000-07:002005-06-07T12:17:00.000-07:00the bg trail is awesome. head out to marrymoore a...the bg trail is awesome. head out to marrymoore and try running it from that end sometime. it gets really pretty through redmond and north of there (can't think of the city name where it gets really tree-y) or get someone to act as a shuttle when you get on your longest runs and run from seattle all the way to marrymoore!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10987052136085788780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12035008.post-1118105594105523762005-06-06T17:53:00.000-07:002005-06-06T17:53:00.000-07:00Totally true!

I've always known that I'm horribly competitive, but I think I'm only just realizing how bad it is to be competitive at something you're particularly good at!<BR/><BR/>So now it's about hanging back and having fun ...<BR/><BR/>It's great to hear from you!Rionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07423148323012201779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12035008.post-1118105361480593292005-06-06T17:49:00.000-07:002005-06-06T17:49:00.000-07:00In one of your earlier posts (the one about placin...In one of your earlier posts (the one about placing an ad for Vegas partners), you mentioned having a specific finishing time / pace goal for the marathon and I wondered why. These things are hard enough to begin with. I think that the goal for a first marathon should be to finish.

It was difficult to accept that...I felt like I wasn't pushing myself hard enough. But, you're right: they are about *stamina*! Glad you enjoyed the run...sounds like a neat spot!<BR/><BR/>And a belated congrats on the race!!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14089259359729950949noreply@blogger.com
