And I hate having a LONG run hanging over my head all day, and have to worry about eating and timing and socializing, etc I'd rather get it done and enjoy the rest of my weekend.Ali K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15736472530374069410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417693555590736116.post-35706523256618307812014-09-24T14:49:11.102-07:002014-09-24T14:49:11.102-07:00For real.

Fuelling is so crucial to your performance, I guess it's just a case of trial and error.

One group that I've thought about joining starts their long runs on Saturdays at 8:30am! No way I'm ever *starting* my long run down here when the sun's already up! <br /><br />I like loops! They make me feel like I'm reaching mini milestones during long runs rather than thinking "oh man I need to get to 6/8/10 miles before I can turn around."Kristina @ Blog About Runninghttp://www.blogaboutrunning.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417693555590736116.post-31887913707342303142014-09-22T07:04:41.631-07:002014-09-22T07:04:41.631-07:00Yay for running!!!!

Lol. I have a question: How did you find the transition back to school with training and blogging? I am finding it super hard to read blogs and create posts. :( Maybe once marathon training settles down I'll get back on track.
