And I think that's why I haven't gotten into biking as much, because it takes a lot of gear, and seems to take a lot of money too. I've never liked sports that require a lot of gear. <br /><br />I think you will do awesome at your first stand alone marathon, wouldn't surprise me at all if you BQ or get really close to a BQ.Nellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11613262056157769496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-6392031660028607322011-08-17T22:08:23.319-05:002011-08-17T22:08:23.319-05:00I feel you.

That happens to be where my concentration is at this time. I suck at all 3 sports, but I suck the worst at running.

You already ...I think that is a little misleading. You already are a runner... you just don't have the running speed you want.<br /><br />As a runner turned triathlete, the only advice I give people is this. If you want to be fast, you have to go to a dark, very painful place. You will be there a lot.<br /><br />Every speed session I did when I wanted a PR in running hurt, I can take the running hurt much easier than I can take the bike hurt (we are all different).<br /><br />Heck, I was 185lbs+ when I got my marathon PR, so there is no reason anyone lighter than me can't do that right? ;) haha. Stick to the plan and as usual heed injuries properly... that is what did me in.Matty Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447270565189789394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-24819577584155521002011-08-17T11:52:35.174-05:002011-08-17T11:52:35.174-05:00I feel like I need to become a runner too.

When I go to work carrying my briefcase (computer inside) it always seems SOOO heavy. Since I have a scale in my office I weighed it.. 20 pounds. And damn it seems heavy. It's all about weight. I can not fathom what it will feel like to have 20 less of those pounds on this body while running.<br /><br />Do I hear 145 out of the Carrot man??ONEHOURIRONMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618244547263041741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-33785331994490256352011-08-17T07:29:16.216-05:002011-08-17T07:29:16.216-05:00Been there.

I have like a million race tshirts. haha. <br /><br />I think you new goal is awesome and I know you can do it! I'll be following your journey closely.<br /><br />Personally, I can't see myself going back to full time running at all. I may never BQ if I keep up the tri-training but I really don't care anymore. That said, I have never been a faster runner than I am now. My 5k PR is a full minute faster than any 5k I ran in high school and outside of the Honolulu Marathon suckfest, my marathon time is steadily dropping as well.Ironman By Thirtyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148960105643826347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-31022951201178453612011-08-17T05:28:26.774-05:002011-08-17T05:28:26.774-05:00Yesterday i ride my bike nearly 1000miles !!!
