I don't know about the crying after gi...Thanks! I don't know about the crying after giving birth, having not tried it myself. At the beginning & middle, it was just the excitement of finally being there & doing it. At the end, it was happiness, exhaustion and accomplishment all overwhelming me at once.<br /><br />The ice bath is to help with soreness. And unfortunately, as mentioned, it works really well. It's the same principle as icing a sore joint, but for the entire lower body.<br /><br />Most of what I know about running I learned from Runners' World magazine (and runnersworld.com), but I have occasionally perused running books as well.<br /><br />The marathon is awesome, but you don't have to run that far to get the benefits! 10Ks are probably my favourite distance, but a lot of people run 5Ks and are perfectly happy with it.<br /><br />Yes, some days the running is boring. Sometimes it's hard; sometimes I want to quit. The really, really good days are what keep me slogging through the yucky days. :)<br /><br />That was the most appropriate recapcha ever!Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862479925124552922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-63575463616371467472010-02-22T04:26:44.636-05:002010-02-22T04:26:44.636-05:00Wow. I'm so impressed.
So I'm female t...Wow. I'm so impressed. <br /><br />So I'm female too, but what's the crying about? Are you so happy? Is it like crying after giving birth? Are you just exhausted hormonally? <br /><br />Also, is the ice bath to help with day-after soreness? How did you learn all of this cool stuff? I actually have "The Non-Runners Marathon Trainer" book on my shelf. I just might use it someday. I think it would give me such a huge boost of confindence, but I think the running would be so boring and exhausting that the downs would not counteract the ups enough. Maybe you can prove me wrong. <br /><br />Anyway, congrats and thanks for sharing your story.<br /><br />Andrea<br /><br />Recapcha--Run I CJames & Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05749456330682609832noreply@blogger.com
