I'm kind of the same way with my pace. I can run a 10K at the same pace as my 5K. I tell myself all the time after doing a half marathon that a 5K is nothing and I can run much faster than I do. WTF?

Good for you! I have no desire to do more than a half marathon but if someone else wants to run farther, then go for it. A good friend of mine went to California in early December for a 100 MILE trail run. I told her that she is nuts.

No, did those after. 11 minutes of hate...
Was just curious as to whether people more knowledgable than I think that is a worthwhile workout or not.

It doesn't matter WHEN you do it, just that you get it done.
I don't know about anybody else, but if I work out after 4PM, I have a hard time sleeping. Doesn't matter if it's just running on the treadmill, or a full on workout.

I don't find that it effects me. I have done hill sprints just before bed. I have also workout on my heavy bag and lifed an hour before going to bed. Last week I was trying to relax myself at the hospital so I went for a jog then went to sleep not long after getting back.

I sleep great if I workout in the afternoons after work.

The only free time I have is after the kids go to bed. I hit the treadmill, take a shower and go to bed. I have no problems sleeping.

I only run when chased. Even then, I try to find a place to hide first.

My hip hurts...exercise scares me now.

you should check out this dude
http://www.ultramarathonman.com/flash/

dean k... something or other... he's called the ultramarathon man... (ultra marathon is a 100miles) but the furthest he's run in a single go with out stopping ish 350 miles... took him 3 days... and he fell asleep running twice!

crazy story.

I don't know that I'll ever run the Boston Marathon... but it'd be cool to qualify. ya know?

but as of today I've never ran a race (apart from x country in HS) and the 10.35 miles I ran the other day... is the furthest I've ran since HS. I've never ran over 15 in my life... but I also don't feel like I HAVE to stop at 10... I feel like i have plenty left... so who knows...
