Don't let the long run stop you man! This is complete insanity. You know Doc Oz says that doing the deed keeps you young! He recommends several times a week. I am just saying man! LOL

Ur family and friends are already used to excuses like "Sorry, I can't stay up late, I got a long run tomorrow morning."

You plan ur social events around your training plan, such as planning them on your step-back weekends because you'll only have to run 12 the next morning.

Last week I ran my 17 and had it as my away message. I had tickets to go the theater with some friends later and by around 1 hadn't heard from anyone about who was driving, when we were meeting, etc. I called my friend, Jess, who said "Well, I talked to Kristin and she was going to give you a call, but I saw your away message said '17 miles' and I knew it would take you a while to run it and then I know you do all sorts of stuff and then you're manic for a few hours afterwards, so I told her to call you later this afternoon" Sadly, she was right on. When making plans for tomorrow night for a jazz concert in the park, Jess had to say "Oh! And this will be perfect, too, because it ends around 9 so you can get plenty of sleep for your run on Saturday"

You know you're training for a marathon when your friends plan their social events around your running.

Oh my gosh! I thought I was the only one with the shoe problem- I have more running shoes than any other kind, and I spend more on them than I do on my son's school clothes- and don't forget the part where you talk your significant other to sleep while telling them about the run that you did that day...

Don't worry, YOU will be fine. Now if it was me running at 6am in downtown San Antonio, I'd probably be chased by Border Patrol....LOL "I speak English, I speak English! I"m a Marine!" "Yeah, you and me both buddy, get in the van!!!"

You go out of town for work and the first thing you do when you get to your hotel is pull up MayMyRun.com to figure out where you can go run the next morning at 6 a.m.

(Wonder how safe downtown San Antonio is at 6 a.m......)
