I detest pain. So my training goals and goal for a marathon is always that it feels "easy". I am not talking about being fast or feeling no pain. Well, maybe minimal pain :) I aspire to running marathons where the distance just feels like another training day. I am not there yet and I'm working on getting to that level of running fitness. Today, I finished my 21 mile training run. It wasn't pretty and it wasn't always easy but I did it AND I feel good about it. Perhaps I am more than satisfied with that. Finishing is great. The bonus is that I made it across the Ballard Locks walkway without having to wait !!!
