GregP May 2008 12:34pm, 9 May 2008 859 posts	0 GregP Thanks, BAW. I didn't like to say.
May 2008 12:37pm, 9 May 2008 13,841 posts	0 [chuckle] It is true though. When I'm really feeling on form I get a proper rush with the pain and feel like I could run forever. Of course it's short lived but it's great when you get two or three rushes like that during a race, it makes you want more. It's the adrenaline.
GregP May 2008 12:52pm, 9 May 2008 861 posts	0 GregP Which begs the question - if a run is unpleasant at the time but you feel great afterwards, how do you log 'state of mind' on Fetch?
Lumsdoni May 2008 12:55pm, 9 May 2008 4,448 posts	0 Lumsdoni Ahh the eternal dilemma. I tend to stick with how i felt during the run. Hence i get grumpy faces with notes like "Best ever HR!!" or "Fastest time for this loop!"

Mrs BooBoo LaBoy May 2008 1:44pm, 9 May 2008 6,127 posts	0 Mrs BooBoo LaBoy Well it's a little difficult for us to get up there anyway at the mo - so a few months won't matter. I am VERY sure that I will see you before then... Greg - State of Mind?? Log it as Top of the World!!! (because you will have run so fast that you get a new PB!)
Gobi May 2008 2:33pm, 9 May 2008 18,944 posts	0 Gobi lol Boo I have run PBs and been very unhappy
Mrs BooBoo LaBoy May 2008 2:38pm, 9 May 2008 6,129 posts	0 Mrs BooBoo LaBoy I know Gobi - I have been there remember! - but I think that for people in the early stages of running, they shouldn't get disheartened too much. I think that's why people give up running all the time. Do you get where I am coming from?
