Every Race Is Totally Different.

The Most Difficult Part, When You Decide To Make Running A Part Of Your Life Style, Is The Basic Initial Commitment. Everybody Says, 'i Don't Have The Time.' It's Up To You To Say, 'i Do Have The Time.' For Me, Beginning To Run When I Was A Student Was An Ideal Situation. However, I've Also Trained As Much As 130 Miles Per Week During Periods When I Worked A Full-time Job. It Ultimately Becomes Second Nature. It Becomes A Habit, A Routine Part Of Your Daily Life

Age 50 Is A Lot Tougher Than 40s

Runners...you're Competitive, But You Want To Have Fun, Too. You Want To Enjoy Life. And Runners Really Get To Do That, I Think-after We Recover.

Don't Feel Guilty About Driving Somewhere Nice To Run. If People Can Drive To A Park To Eat Hot Dogs, You Can Drive There To Run.

Always Take The Long Term View And Train And Race Smart, With A Bit Of Caution.
