I often wonder who makes the rules when it comes to running. I decided myself early in my running career (like 3 months ago) that I would do what my body felt was right not just what someone else feels is right. Now this does not mean that I don't read and pay attention to what other great runners have to say because I have read so many running books in the last 6 months and I have used so many of their words of wisdom. But in the end I feel that every body is different and needs to find their own path. So when someone said it was wise to take a break after running a marathon I thought really why? I feel great, my body feels great, my feet feel great....so off I went and this was my best run to date!
This was my first run where I passed more people then people passed me. I was no where near the back of the pack and I had a personal best time of 3 hours and 2 minutes. And yes I looked like a punk-kin!
