Beverly,
I guess I probably don't run as fast as all you gals. The wind just makes such a big cooling difference for me. Speed runs and intervals would be just as hard if not harder, but atleast it is cardiovascularly hard....atleast I don't feel like I am overheating, you know? Remember, I work out in a normal room with three other people so oxygen is probably in short supply.
I cried while I WATCHED RNR Arizona on TV. I ended up pulling a muscle in my foot the week beforehand and was not able to run it. I love running for fun, but hated giving up Cathe for that time period. I love so many different types of workouts that I did not want to discipline myself to just run alone. Maybe I will stick with 5K's, or 10K's. Those are FUN. My sister did RNR and it was a very fun experience for her. We will register for 2005 though.
