Hello, Janet. My name is Jade Anderson, and I work for the Chronicle-Independent in Camden, S.C. You sent us some information about yourself before the race. I was hoping to follow up with you to see how it went. Would you please contact me at localife@ci-camden.com so we can communicate further? Thank you.

Nerves are good. If you are not nervious then you are not prepared imo.

It’s the joy of being a long-distance runner. You can eat WHATEVER YOU WANT!! (But yet, it’s a bit of a transition once you stop running 25 miles a week.)

Great blog Janet and Nina. I’m looking forward to hearing more about how the training is going and about race day. You’re inspiring. Good luck to you both.

I’m ready to go back to casual running, too. Let’s go to the coast instead and relax.

It’s amazing how much I find out about myself since I started training.

I have heard about this before… One of my freinds in the Navy was a runner. He would get white flaky stuff all over his clothes and wondered where the salt was coming from since he wasn’t by the sea running… He drank gatorade constantly

Thanks! Such a good idea. I walk at lunch and sometimes I forget my mp3 player. Thinking of songs and singing them (at least in my head) is a great idea!

Reasons I sometimes get too tired:

1) Overtraining – I start to feel really tired if I go more more than 28 miles a week.

2) Not enough protein

3) Not enough food in general – how many calories per day are you burning (including when you’re sitting at your computer)? If you are running 30 miles a week, you should be ravenous. Your body needs food. Keep eating healthy, but don’t deny yourself calorie- and energy-dense foods.
