That's why you're training, so you can get your body used to these insane distances. I am yet to do a 16 mile run so I'm actually uber jealous right now :) Good luck with your exams. I'm sure you'll rock it!rUntoNamAstehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614245543257866122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3466089449217873147.post-86603903635995288842010-07-22T01:11:55.903-04:002010-07-22T01:11:55.903-04:00I'm behind on blogging and commenting too.

Such is life. <br /><br />I'm very impressed you're both studying for the CPA and training for a marathon. Two things that make me want to cry thinking about them :-P<br /><br />In all seriousness, the first two half marathons I did I wanted to cry around miles 11 or 12 until the end. The third race I trained harder for and didn't have that problem. Your threshold is going to get higher. I'm sure of it. You're making a huge jump going from short runs to a full marathon...which is AWESOME...but I think mentally it's got to be tougher.<br /><br />Have fun at your upcoming half marathon! I think the Rock n' Roll will give you a huge boost mentally! Races are such a blast.inspiREDtorun13https://www.blogger.com/profile/06142467653782014657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3466089449217873147.post-10445734880898194802010-07-20T12:52:43.051-04:002010-07-20T12:52:43.051-04:00Oh man!

You must be like really smart if you are already taking the CPA exam and you are 21!<br /><br />My cousins are both CPAs and I think they took it after graduating college.

The conditions didn't sound ideal, with the heat and humidity, and that does wear on you.<br /><br />That's good too that you are taking the no-pressure approach to the CPA, at least not the I-need-to-pass-this-now-or-else approach.<br /><br />Keep at it!L.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03932409909043501781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3466089449217873147.post-81468011849532174092010-07-18T16:48:39.330-04:002010-07-18T16:48:39.330-04:0016 miles is a tough distance no matter what!
