The long runs bring on their own stress. Not like the speedwork runs, where the stress haunts you all week- worrying if you'll hit your times without puking or if you'll break thru the mental games. No, longer runs bring on a stress all their own. Stress like- Will I make it that long? What if I bonk 1/3 into the run? What if I have to pee? Yes those stresses only go with the long runs. Your out there for so long, just you, the road, and your thoughts-really far from home.
Bill Squires once said, "the long runs that put the tiger into the cat". So growl, don't purr.

This blog will mostly be about running. I may throw some swimming stuff in the mix. Maybe a tid-bit on biking. I will probably even share food ideas. There may be an entry on my crazy toddler or equally-crazed-fitness-nut husband. I promise to stick to the title as much as possible. Stay focused!
