You think a lot!<BR/><BR/>My bet is that you will breeze through the marathon and wonder, "Is that all there is?"<BR/><BR/>Somebody once told me that as you go through the miles, keep thinking of the upcoming finish line as a sort of sadness, something that signifies the end of a special journey...and while you are relieved, you are also mindful of the end of a special time. For whatever reason, this makes me personally feel content and strong. <BR/><BR/>Keep running, keep writing, keep smiling!<BR/><BR/>MaryMary Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563785057840279623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-1164513747124888262006-11-25T21:02:00.000-07:002006-11-25T21:02:00.000-07:00Nytro and I do the fruit smoothie thing too.

It's all about the vanilla protein though. And we bought one of those 1 serving blenders for 10 bucks. It rocks! You can mix it up really quick, drink right out of the blender cup, then just throw it in the dishwasher.Papa Tweethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00333027991018464533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-1164512096284069832006-11-25T20:34:00.000-07:002006-11-25T20:34:00.000-07:00i'm pretty sure my running form SUCKS most of the ...i'm pretty sure my running form SUCKS most of the time. I've tried what you described as pulling my feet up and behind, but that goes out the window when i'm tired....which is about 10min into my running. <BR/><BR/>Hope you find the 2007 season to be all that you want it to be!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03231464198799653331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-1164497939828520832006-11-25T16:38:00.000-07:002006-11-25T16:38:00.000-07:00Don't you get guinea pig fur stuck between your te...Don't you get guinea pig fur stuck between your teeth?

I try for 90-125 g/day. I find it helps a lot with recovery. Plus, you get to lose your fat and keep your muscle. I only found this out when I did some bodybuilding and kept a tight rein on my bodyfat. As a result, these days, the protein is just what I do. <BR/><BR/>And since you are vegan, pretty much all your sources of protein are lean -- this is a bonus!<BR/><BR/>I don't know if it makes me faster. <BR/><BR/>My beloved thinks that proper running form is the most efficient stride. I don't know if he's right, but he seems to know a lot about it. He sorta looks like he's shuffling - he doesn't do the big waste of energy gazelle gait. He shuffles along at 6:30 min/mi and doesn't look like he's working hard, so he might be on to something.<BR/><BR/>GOD this was a long comment! See?

I'd like to be faster next season too. I sure wish we had a whole series around here like you do, that would be cool!Nancy Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18402516081283603553noreply@blogger.com
