Enjoying Running
Hi Guys.
Nice to hear from you again, Liz, and I hope you get round Chicago OK. It's interesting that you say "Why am I doing this again?" I do think that doing races, at least the same races or even just the same KIND of races can get dull unless you're a fanatic. I felt that a little at the GNR, even though it was the first time I'd done it. It is a great event, and I wouldn't criticise it or the organisation of it, but for me, I just didn't feel the massive excitement I felt the first 2 or 3 times I did very big events. Last year was great, with the first-ever experience of the London marathon, and the Reading Half, and of course Chicago. THis year I wasn't excited by Silverstone or Reading again or the GNR.
Which leads us to Parky's point. Trail races. I think that's an interesting idea. I like the idea of doing cross-country events though my usual paranoia shines through at this point -- the feeling that I'm just not good enough to do loads of hills. But I guess that's just a matter of doing a different kind of training. Hmm, thanks Parky - that's given me something to think about, especially as I love to run in the countryside. I'll look into it. Cheers.
