Yes people take breaks. You are not going for a record, so finishing is the goal. Personally I don't think the breaks help, but it's not like they are going to kick you out because you stopped running.
My biggest mistake was not eating the morning of the race. If I had any cash on me I would have stopped at McDonalds midway. I was starving. I've been thinking about doing another one, besides I want to lose about 30 pounds. So if you agree to run at least the half marathon in November, I will to. Ken PS. So will Tim. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Heald [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 12:28 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Mileage status ...
