		<description><![CDATA[I had a shorter run on the agenda today, but I wanted to try out some Gu that I bought a few weeks ago. I thought it might be smart to test it while running at the gym in case it caused any stomach problems. I first ate a plain piece of toast, because it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=salliehickle.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2417012&amp;post=246&amp;subd=salliehickle&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week, I wrote a whiny post about not successfully completing my long run. Well, folks, I completed it Friday, and it felt great. I actually had two false starts on my long run this week, and my doubt was starting to snowball. Rapidly. I overslept this morning and didn&#8217;t have time to dilly-dally [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=salliehickle.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2417012&amp;post=235&amp;subd=salliehickle&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey, get your mind out of the gutter. Anyway, I apologize in advance for mentioning, yet again, the awful run I had this morning. If you&#8217;re tired of reading about it, you can stop here. No hard feelings, I promise. According to my training schedule, I needed to run 7 miles today for my long [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=salliehickle.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2417012&amp;post=227&amp;subd=salliehickle&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Motivation can be tough to come by. Inertia is a powerful force, and it&#8217;s a lot easier to stay on the couch all day and watch 10 episodes of The Hills the History Channel than it is to pry yourself off the couch to exercise. It takes significant amounts of motivation just to get through [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=salliehickle.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2417012&amp;post=222&amp;subd=salliehickle&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
