I actually really enjoyed it. It was a big accomplishment for me after losing 110lbs and getting into "race" shape. I was so excited to finish it and now I am working on doing the 9/11 tribute run they have in NYC every year, next year.<br /><br />-Adam @ <a href="http://www.turnupmyworkout.com" rel="nofollow">TUMW workout music</a>Adam @ turnupmyworkout.comhttp://www.turnupmyworkout.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387275476617323454.post-62633844186634951022009-11-12T20:35:12.141-05:002009-11-12T20:35:12.141-05:00I love them all.

I am most intrigued with the marathon because it's so technical, and I love trying to get 3-4 months of training to work out right on race day. BUT ... I also like the 5ks. For me it's a great contrast and keeps my training fresh throughout the year.Happy Feet 26.2https://www.blogger.com/profile/07319635538117315117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387275476617323454.post-63168067806622251962009-11-12T18:17:42.516-05:002009-11-12T18:17:42.516-05:00LONG runs for me, short runs make me nervous!!LONG runs for me, short runs make me nervous!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129091073767399081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387275476617323454.post-75541280583865845282009-11-12T17:45:16.316-05:002009-11-12T17:45:16.316-05:00not picky at all :)

Shorter distances seem to be more difficult in the sense that one would think my pace would be faster given my marathon pace. But I do struggle with really fast miles over very short distances.
