It was awful- i hated my life every step of the way but eventually i made it through- it was done and it hasnt been quite that bad. The bad runs make you appreciate the good ones & they also make the good ones that much better! :) u look cute in your biking gear! :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11825097650104995097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56498931969147.post-58636306829172388082010-01-26T09:12:24.335-08:002010-01-26T09:12:24.335-08:00You take the good, you take the bad, put them both...You take the good, you take the bad, put them both together and have the facts of life... Isn't that how the theme song goes? It's so true though. We have bad runs to appreciate the good ones and if we always had good ones we'd never appreciate the accomplisment of overcoming a bad one. Just keep running... Just keep running...<br /><br />I look silly when I ride my bike too. I need to invest in some gear!Jen Feenyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857381064146340597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56498931969147.post-50853308811204672812010-01-26T07:56:47.478-08:002010-01-26T07:56:47.478-08:00It's never fun when you are not mentally into ...It's never fun when you are not mentally into a run!

It's runs like these that let you know that YOU are a runner. <br /><br />Glad you had a good weekend.

Personally I prefer my cycling shorts to be a little longer so they don't ride up, but that could just be my legs. However you do get a wicked leg tan line!Nicole @ Haute Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01567153986505971579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56498931969147.post-88682994527975723182010-01-25T13:55:32.016-08:002010-01-25T13:55:32.016-08:00during mentally challenging runs, i count. i coun...during mentally challenging runs, i count. i count foot falls, i count breaths, i count lamp posts. somtimes i don't anything but just say the numbers to be thinking about something other than how crappy of a run i am on.Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416267278525394574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56498931969147.post-86559419340445477502010-01-25T13:13:11.916-08:002010-01-25T13:13:11.916-08:00I have no advice on the shorts.

Shouting curse words throughout the run, that's about the only way I cope, too.

Sometimes counting steps helps, but sometimes it makes me go crazy. :pMarlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230997094889375925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56498931969147.post-50010586791671916562010-01-25T11:36:56.902-08:002010-01-25T11:36:56.902-08:00Ack, sometimes runs are just like that.

But you'll really suffer on all of your training rides without the extra padding. <br /><br />I've also found an unfortunate truth about cycling shorts, you get what you pay for. My first shorts for about $65 and were good. I tried a $30 pair to save money. Well, it was a waste of money. Then at some point I splurged, maybe with a gift card, and bought a $90 pair. The $90 pair is AMAZING! I know they have ones that go $125+, but I haven't ventured that expensive, yet. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
