I need to work on my mindset still and think that visualization is one of the points I need to start with.
I also love talking about running. My partens with whom I still live think it`s ridiculous but the runner friends I have are the best listeners and we have the greatest discussions!

And second… great job getting through the mental barrier. Have you read much about the “central governor” theory in exercise? How fatigue starts in the mind and whatnot? It’s so interesting. Best of luck in your training! :)

Nicely done! :) Come marathon day you’ll think of this moment and smile!

It’s so hard to not think/talk about a marathon constantly when in training. Last year during my first marathon training cycle, I was so thankful to have this blog as an outlet so friends/co-workers wouldn’t have to listen to me ramble about my runs so much haha : )

The Good News Fri, 17 Aug 2012 16:58:33 +0000 http://fitchickinthecity.com/?p=13211#comment-47381 GAH!! 78 sounds so scary when you put it that way :) I’m really trying to keep up with my treadmill (incline) workouts to prepare for the hills. I did 10 miles this AM & was tempted to slack off (QUIT), but I know every training I skip out on will make the next run & the final run (race) that much more difficult. I’m going to run NYC to enjoy it- I’ll be having fun, taking it slow, but I still want to finish & finish feeling well. I’ve got Philly to run 2 weeks later ;)

I read just yesterday that when your motivation is flagging to think of how you would feel when it’s race day.

We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. ~Jim Rohn
