> Wow I'm seriousl impressed did you get the runner's high?
I don't think so...I had to pee the 1st half (i thought i was just nervous at the start so ignored it), so was pretty much focused on that...but there were lines at all the port-o-potties. I stopped at mile 13 at a fast food place finally...then spent the next 6 miles catching up to my "pace group."
>>How long did you train for and do you run daily.
I started about 3 months ago...did about 2 runsof 6-8 miles and 1 long (10-14) each week...I took 2 weeks off also when i decided not to do it about a month.5 ago.
I ran 14 several times, but only did over that(20) once.
>> Found running was definitely my wonder med for anxiety. Love Phillipa
I did really poorly on my final the day after marathon...mostly memorization...I think having that day back would've made quite the difference on my score. I'm not sure if it was worth it. I don't know. I've gone back into a depression right now. Very overwhelmed with everything.
I looked up Jim Fixx...interesting story...sort of sad.
