Being a runner means you are now "free" to win and lose and live life to its fullest.

I usually get side-aches when I am really tired and or when I am not quite warmed up.

I ran my fastest marathon in the rain.

In my opinion, there's too much emphasis on just the long run in preparing for the marathon.

That's why its a good idea to ease into your early miles, rather than push the pace from the minute you step out the door.
