As for the 70M - why not? Try it and see? If you can do it without getting injured I think you'll get great results - the only thing is that you need to ensure even more rest!Petrarunshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223283092182797048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080856887174526132.post-83433987174412466692010-07-07T11:42:14.336-05:002010-07-07T11:42:14.336-05:00You never know, stay committed to your marathon tr...You never know, stay committed to your marathon training and a 5K PR might just pop up naturally without the specific 5K training.<br /><br />I love how you doubly emphasize your "SLOW" 12MPH pace on the bike. Seems like a nice pace to me on a hilly route.<br /><br />And great picture to end your post.Iron Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09152020406604559075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080856887174526132.post-50990764862606360092010-07-06T20:44:03.690-05:002010-07-06T20:44:03.690-05:00wow 70mi weeks!! take me with you! i hope to get m...wow 70mi weeks!! take me with you! i hope to get my mileage up too in the coming months... hopefully we will both stay dedicated :)Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720800873803974929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080856887174526132.post-68413386124651579812010-07-06T10:34:01.441-05:002010-07-06T10:34:01.441-05:00Running is so fun! :)

I admire your determination:)<br /><br />I love being able to meet with bloggy pals...I hope that you had fun!<br /><br />I love that quote too. It makes me appreciate everyday that I am able to run....even if it is a mile or two:)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01016242849142019105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080856887174526132.post-72481131450133862922010-07-05T16:04:57.722-05:002010-07-05T16:04:57.722-05:00I love that quote, too.

I know I can still do them, but can I do them at the ability I know my body must endure to do them well? I never know for sure. But when I returned from Boston and in the couple months since running with a bum heel, my friend reminded me of the gospels of the good Dr. Sheehan:<br />Was I ready, then, to have my heart weighed? Was this as far as I would go? Was I ready to rest, to obey the commandments and await my reward?<br />The plane was bringing me back to earth. Without thinking, I took my pulse. A slow, steady 48, and only a day after a marathon. And I knew then, as every runner knows, my heart is capable of anything. All it asks is the time to do it.<br />When I have run my best marathon and written my best piece and done my best deed of love for myself and my neighbor, I know the cry will still come from my heart: "There is more, there is more. I who have made you know." What else is a heart for, then, but to be uneasy, to ask for what seems impossible, and never be satisfied? So my heart will be restless until it finds its final rest.<br />Then they can weigh it.<br /><br />You're marathon heart is not ready to rest yet. :)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.com
