Maybe one day a week, instead of running three or four miles without stopping, run one mile three times with a rest in between (and time each mile).<br /><br />No, you're still not going to win any cash prizes (and neither am I), but it's rewarding to see your time and/or distance improving.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15796345438886867796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061577.post-10624815420542364682011-01-17T08:39:13.742-05:002011-01-17T08:39:13.742-05:00Last year, June (?) sometime I started running.

I am however wondering if I might be a better distance runner. I ran 15km on Saturday and ... well I felt like there was more in me. I wasn't in a whole world of pain.Sidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16378637266179966793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061577.post-88257715337032326892011-01-16T15:59:55.835-05:002011-01-16T15:59:55.835-05:00Julie, if you're talking about porn, it's ...Julie, if you're talking about porn, it's not great pay for the guys.

I've always felt most of the people around me were smarter and I have to work hard to keep up, but I think that's why I'm friends with them. Friends should push you to be a better person. I would think it's the same for athletics. <br /><br />Never say never.

To me, that's what we're seeing when we call someone athletic. While I think of myself as an above-average athlete, I've never excelled at any one thing. I was always one of the better players on any teams I played on, but not enough to really stand out. But my coordination Mickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16980072484914437668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061577.post-26668702389917160292011-01-14T16:34:36.273-05:002011-01-14T16:34:36.273-05:00I think there's a certain amount of natural ta...I think there's a certain amount of natural talent that goes into making a good athlete, but it's more mental than physical.
