Is this possible for you to do, and is it something you know much about?Kerry Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07910046199300423007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802156998875741202.post-89614744942194508352009-03-30T15:30:00.001-07:002009-03-30T15:30:00.001-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802156998875741202.post-7262584700386949922009-03-30T15:18:00.000-07:002009-03-30T15:18:00.000-07:00this is a testthis is a testCraighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00358143836928302932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802156998875741202.post-33363990391642912792009-03-30T15:00:00.001-07:002009-03-30T15:00:00.001-07:00hello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just vi...hello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just visiting here....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802156998875741202.post-68999119250795436142008-10-31T06:36:00.000-07:002008-10-31T06:36:00.000-07:00hey...i vote for your blog on bloggers choice awar...hey...<BR/>i vote for your blog on bloggers choice award...<BR/>success for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802156998875741202.post-32894667267537938462008-10-16T01:26:00.000-07:002008-10-16T01:26:00.000-07:00Great quote!

When I can run & be alone within myself that is when I talk to "God". I do not pray but I talk to something. I find myself jogging away and talking out loud. Running that way both brings me closer to my higher power as well as clears the jogging path.Boy About Town LBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977391516686189845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802156998875741202.post-29279345157852971152008-03-21T21:26:00.000-07:002008-03-21T21:26:00.000-07:00Organized religion makes me uncomfortable, yet I d...Organized religion makes me uncomfortable, yet I do feel a connection to a higher power when I receive very strong intuitive feelings. That said, I did have a very positive spiritual experience resulting from an acupuncture treatment three weeks ago. I went in for tight hamstrings. I came out feeling better after the loss of my mother in December. I can remember my dreams for the first time in three months. I feel connected with myself again – and therefore, better equipped to cope with my first half IM in 8 days. You can read more on my blog.

It's the sleep two nights before which is important. It sets you up, so that if you don't sleep well the night before, or if you have to wake up at 4am to race, it's not a big deal.<BR/><BR/>I don't really nap before a race, but since I train in the mornings on the weekend, by 11 or 12 I'm falling asleep, and I find a nap then really helps. Although I tend to sleep for longer than 30 minutes - as much as I can, really. More about catching up on sleep for the night or two beforehand.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802156998875741202.post-87574250593600092592008-03-06T15:20:00.000-08:002008-03-06T15:20:00.000-08:00Would you think that more men HTW than women becau...Would you think that more men HTW than women because while more women are doing marathons than men, their overall finish time as a gender has been getting slower while men has not slowed as much?<BR/><BR/>I think another reason people HTW is like you said, they don't do the long runs and they don't plan walk breaks into the effort.

Robert Nideffer, argues that the distinction between confidence and faith is an important one for the competitive athlete. While confidence can be easily shaken, faith endures. As Nideffer says, “Faith is believing in the absence of success.” <BR/><BR/>Thanks Sportsminded for sharing your expertise!Dr. Randy Borumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769944371736629584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802156998875741202.post-201696795519124222008-01-13T16:09:00.000-08:002008-01-13T16:09:00.000-08:00Hello.

In college (Michigan State) he was a 7th-string quarterback. The pro scouting report on him said he was too narrow in build and couldn't run out of the pocket well. He has since won three Super Bowls. His team is undefeated this season. All of which gives further proof to your post. It's also the reason Madonna Budder is the triathlete I admire the most.SixTwoThreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10666027896143024308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3802156998875741202.post-42981775987590442252007-12-18T15:15:00.000-08:002007-12-18T15:15:00.000-08:00good article, helped with my psych paper!good article, helped with my psych paper!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609016802825853262noreply@blogger.com
