Run a bunch of mile loops seems so much more do-able to me than, say, a 50k course. But I've never run either, so I may be totally wrong.

Go figure.<br /><br />I am a racer. I may be a slow racer, and I may not race as often as others, but when I do, I'm totally into it. And sometimes I race by feel, and sometimes I watch my pace -- and both methods can work for me; it's weird!<br /><br />I'm giggling at your type (couch wanted me to). And you're right, the best experiences involve friends. I wish I could race with my friends more often, and I cherish it when I do!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-6372047561855392832016-12-15T11:22:33.715-06:002016-12-15T11:22:33.715-06:00There's a lot to be said for having fun!
