I finally get it! These workouts that I have been doing for the past 21 weeks have been to build my stamina. Duh, right. I know that that is the idea. But today I experienced it.
After 15 weeks of running (about 6 weeks ago), we ran 5 miles for the first time. I specifically remember that day and that was a LONG run. Well today I am running that same 5 miles as part of my weekly maintenance (non-long run) workouts. And you know what? It didn't seem long at all. It felt great and totally manageable.
I wonder if the 10 miles that I have to run this weekend will ever feel manageable.

I'm guessing that if you "have" to run the 10 miles, rather than "want" to, that it has a better chance of not being manageable;) Watch your words more closely and you will start to see a pattern with the runs that you love verses the ones that were a task. K
