Does the long run ever get easier?

Just to add to what has already been said, nothing makes time on your feet fly by like a good running buddy to gab with - or even better, a few good running buddies! I couldn't do it without them!0

It's a big world out there. Plenty of room.

Ha, ha, saw this before and was wondering when someone would pick it up!
Veganbettie, I take it that you were talking about a lack of time. I also don't have a lot of time and yes, my time spent running gets in the way of my commitments to fulltime work and family and I'm also doing a postgrad. It isn't easy juggling the whole lot and I have to sacrifice running time and do long runs only on Sundays. Otherwise, during weekdays, I'm doing only around 8 miles although I will be working in a mid-week long run soon for training. This would require me heading out for the run at 5am.

Yes, it is hard to find the time but it's there if you look for it! I have 2 hockey playing boys, a full time job, part time teaching job, and working toward my Ph.D. I find time to do my shorter runs in the evening and working in this long run business on the weekends. So far Saturday before sunrise has been the best time to get it in for me anyway. I seriously hope it does get easier soon! I'm half dreading half excited for my 8 miler this weekend. Still feels like a big deal. Planning my outfit with the weather, route, to bring fluids or not so much, make sure I am visible and can see where I'm going, etc. Would love to just get to that point where I just go without really stressing over it.
