I would love to adopt you as another blonde friend. Can I? :) <br /><br />The run...all I can say is AMAZING. I would not worry a bit about anything you are doing these days, Jenn. It kinda reminds me of a podcast I herd with Ryan hall where he was asked how he knew he was ready to run a marathon. He replied that it was after he had done a long run with 12 miles of tempo. His tempo pace? His marathon pace....<br />Glad that what you enjoy is what is WORKING for you. You will have a strong race!! Looking forward to it.Rainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118022681297462844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635823026230026813.post-66122203038272658982011-05-12T14:32:49.654-05:002011-05-12T14:32:49.654-05:00totally hilarious!

I have a Camelbak waste belt, a cheapo that holds a bottle of water, and I just bought a Camelbak backpack this wk for more capacity. I use different ones, for different mileage.<br /><br />I'm with ya on the retention issues. It's BAD! I've even rent movies over again. I start watching and somewhere along the way, I realize I've already watched it. It's ok, I watch it again. HA!<br /><br />I totally agree, keep it fun and motivating for YOU! I LOVE the speed work, and hill work. I hate tempo runs. I ran a tempo today and almost DIED! <br /><br />Your recent plans have definitely been working for you. I would say stick with it until it's not working any longer.

The 'perfect' plan is never perfect...and sometimes our best bet is to go with what works for us individually. I think this post has changed my perspective on training plans completely. I'll never feel guilty going 'off plan' again!...if Jenn can do it...I can!...right? LOL. You completely knocked it out of the park with that run. so inspiring. Now, the water bottle thing...I would have died laughing if you actually went on a run with that thing still on. absolutely hilarious!! Something I would do. :)Julie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08422741135790771406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635823026230026813.post-1254697058867553162011-05-10T23:26:03.921-05:002011-05-10T23:26:03.921-05:00I just took a Tylenol PM and it's kicking in.....I just took a Tylenol PM and it's kicking in...I am so glad my last thoughts before I drift off are of the plastic thing on your water bottle.

I can do my long runs and 1 speed workout a week and that's about it...my mind and body cant seem to do the tempo and pace runs etc. I LOVE trying to get the love back and when I have a good run, like this morning, I remember why I do this. I also love the feeling of a great race. Thanks for the post. After my half on Sunday I am going to get back to my love of running.Denaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01511764013003677104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635823026230026813.post-7864995284998609582011-05-10T19:49:28.164-05:002011-05-10T19:49:28.164-05:00Wow!

I seriously am right there with you...my next training cycle I am all about distance because I would DREAD speedwork and hate every second of it.

This run of yours.....Good Grief! HOly smokes girl...I can't wait to see what you will do in your marathon. SEriously! I love that you are reflecting on these things and just deciding to go with what works for Jenn! I think this is what it truly comes down to when you already know you can run and run well. This book AM talks about...sounds awesome. Like I mentioned a bit to you this week, I'm going to make my own plan up for the next couple weeks too...in a different place than you since I'm just hoping I'll be running strong again...my marathon is in 3.5 weeks so that means the next 2 weeks has to count. Not sure my exact plan but I do know that I won't be following the one I was on. <br /><br />Too freaking funny about that text today Jenn! YOu crack me up. I seriously thought you were just being a smart ass. :) I'll be laughing about this one for awhile. I love my water belt. Waylon runs with one too when we go on super long runs.Amanda@runninghoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389034066639666578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635823026230026813.post-13174896369939555802011-05-10T18:08:25.463-05:002011-05-10T18:08:25.463-05:00Love this, Jenn.

It got ME so excited for your marathon, like really excited, heart rate up and everything! I will be racing the same day and thinking about your marathon, LOL:)<br />I love your confidence and doing what works for you and changing your mind, etc. Matt F wrote a book RUN: The method of running by feel and he makes a great point about going with your instinct, changing your plan, etc. You would love the book! <br />And still laughing about the tag thing and your husband making fun of you with the fuel belt.
