http://dommy.com/ihaterunning/2009/05/19/shhhh/ But I am preparing to run my first full marathon Fri, 04 May 2012 02:23:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 http://dommy.com/ihaterunning/2009/05/19/shhhh/comment-page-1/#comment-18556 Jerry Wed, 20 May 2009 17:02:39 +0000 http://dommy.com/ihaterunning/?p=334#comment-18556 Your secret is safe with me, Alan. And no pressure. I know you hate running. But you like what it does to your body. You like being outside. You like being in touch with nature. You like the camaraderie. Shoot, I think maybe you do like running. Excuse me while I evangelize. I did a track workout with Tim Bolen this morning. He's a great coach. He had us all yelling, "I love running!" before starting the workout. "Say it like you mean it!" He yelled at us. And it worked. The workout was hard, but it was fun. Running doesn't have to be hard, but whether it's easy or hard, it should be fun. Go to the places you like to run, join the people you like to run with, run (or walk, or both) the pace you like, the way you like. Best wishes. Your secret is safe with me, Alan. And no pressure.
