Instead I look for the positive and try to learn as much as I can from the race and how I prepared, fueled, etc.Suz and Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703593542540533784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-19885284485578154692012-09-24T21:57:42.919-04:002012-09-24T21:57:42.919-04:00I can't believe your marathon is just a week a...I can't believe your marathon is just a week away! Well, even less than that now. Bad internet = no blog commenting = the end of the world, but now I'm back to regular stalking. I always have specific race plans, even if I don't share them or verbalize them. Dessert plans too, obviously.Vanessa @ Gourmet Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927786555693446088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-34126012535515550552012-09-24T08:00:45.236-04:002012-09-24T08:00:45.236-04:00My race goal for this race is to run with you and ...My race goal for this race is to run with you and have a glorious time, so it's pretty much going to happen no matter what. i can't believe it's already here!!!Running Ricighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860478500819594235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-62242285472564186482012-09-24T05:25:39.404-04:002012-09-24T05:25:39.404-04:00I always try not to have specific goals, but they&...I always try not to have specific goals, but they're always there in the back of my mind. I've raced without a Garmin before and I find that helps me calm down about the pace and just go by feel.<br /><br />I don't have specific food plans after b/c that would take out part of the fun of marathoning - dreaming about food mid-race! ;) Usually I think about it mid-run and know what I want when I'm done.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415512134390374929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-65646916298845457232012-09-23T14:09:19.894-04:002012-09-23T14:09:19.894-04:00Totally forgot Mom is making that cake again and j...Totally forgot Mom is making that cake again and just got really excited!
