You train best where you are the happiest.

I plan to be running as long as I can and have no plans to stop.

It is just called Continuing Legal Education. You can go to lectures, you can even listen to tapes on airplanes - they want you to stay current. So you do have to stay current to maintain your license even if you are not practicing.

As I've been able to once again gain the benefits of speed work, I'm enjoying my running more and more.

For the novice runner, I'd say to give yourself at least 2 months of consistently running several times a week at a conversational pace before deciding whether you want to stick with it. Consistency is the most important aspect of training at this point.

You have to know your body. It's part of the beauty of the training process, and once you've determined how much your body and mind can take, you can then begin to reach your potential.

I admire runners older than I - they are now my heroes. I want to be like them as I grow older.
