Not because I don't think I can handle it, but because I don't know what to expect on my first.<br /><br />Is it the same kind of pain I feel at 17 or 18, with the aching legs and sore feet?Vernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815629682873183986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127852782723349426.post-82032025473189440062010-02-21T15:10:36.458-06:002010-02-21T15:10:36.458-06:00I try to visualize my marathon, especially the las...I try to visualize my marathon, especially the last few miles!!!

I've read a little about visualization, and tried it in approprate situations, and it is really a great technique! <br /><br />However, before I read Hal's tip, it may not have occured to me to practice on the actual couse that the race will use! It seems so obvious now, but sometimes we can't see the forest for the trees. <br /><br />I guess that's the power of taking a look from someone else's perspective!Vernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815629682873183986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127852782723349426.post-57429104915802479692010-02-18T14:35:01.599-06:002010-02-18T14:35:01.599-06:00I think that's a great way to do any training....I think that's a great way to do any training.
