But then I have brief moments of happiness that I'm at least distracted by my original woes. :)Kate Geisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854561265520868538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762797438051684168.post-12309240064950190802012-10-18T09:38:09.812-06:002012-10-18T09:38:09.812-06:00Like most others, I can't relate to 100 miles ...Like most others, I can't relate to 100 miles and the pain that would accompany that, but I can remember laughing at myself at the sheer stupidity of paying to run long distances and inflict pain on myself. In this world of paying for luxury, spa treatments, and a more pain free and comfortable life, it is a weird and opposing view to pay for self inflicted torture.

Whether's it's my feet or legs when the pain comes up, I suck it up and think pretty much the same thing.<br /><br />Good luck on the Javelina!

That and just to FINISH. At the end when I finally lay down on a bed I always ask myself "why was this a good idea?" but I keep going back for more, year after year. I think running just makes us feel alive. Coy Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00144649093762262574noreply@blogger.com
