Favorite Running Quotes:
1.
"Sooner or later the serious runner goes through a special, very personal experience that is unknown to most people.
Some call it euphoria. Others say it's a new kind of mystical experience that propels you into a elevated state of consciousness, a flash of joy.
A sense of floating as you run. This experience is unique to each of us, but when it happens, you break through a barrier that separates you from casual runners. Forever. And from that point on, there is no finish line. You run for your life. You begin to be addicted to what running gives you."
~Nike Poster
2. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
You’ve no doubt heard this. And you’ve probably recited it in your mind on a run or at the gym when you’re just beginning to get in shape. You have a goal in sight and this quote brings you back to the current moment.
But the problem is that many runners forget all of the steps between the first one and the goal. If your goal is to run under two hours for the half marathon then you need to be honest about all of the little steps to get to that goal.
You should have goals, but you should take it one step at a time. And you should be honest about the fact that you don’t know how many steps it will take to get there. ~ Vernon Gambetta
3. Human beings are made up of flesh, blood and a miracle fiber called COURAGE! ~ George Patton

| 2mile test run on home TM to check hip flexor. When my hammies get tight or my glutes don't activate, my flexors get angry. Felt good during the run. But I want to see how they are later.
Lots of glute exercises. My hammies have a tendency to take over. Not as effective as I had hoped.

| TT: 2:03 AP: 9:28 I didn't catch my time before it shut off, so I think this is close. Had a few tummy issues.
Ran with Kellie at the gym. It was fun to chat and then we plugged in iPods the last 30 minutes. She asked how everything is feeling. My response is to treat every run like it is my last one. If I get another run, then hooray!
Quick stretch and off to Snowbird to chill in the lodge.

On home TM. 5.5 miles after big kids left for school. I did the rest after youngest went to school. Felt surprisingly good. Kept bumping up my speed and did several 2 min hard/1 min easy.
Feeling grateful that I made it through another run.

| Home TM -- it was broken up into 3 different chunks, but finally got to 16 miles.
TT: 2:26 AP: 9:08 -- lots of different speeds. 2-10 minute ons. Calves are feeling tight, but everything else feels good. So VERY grateful to have made it through another run.
I saw this arm workout on IG and thought I would give it a try --Sarah Bowmar's shoulder 400's
100 seated dumbbell shoulder press
100 lateral raises
100 front raises
100 outward presses
I did them in sets 4x25. In between each set of 25, I would do bicep curls or tricep dips. HARD!

I met Kellie at the gym for some TM miles. I felt slightly off today. Nothing specific, just off. I was breathing hard from the start. My arm hurt, then my back. Maybe it was all the junk working it's way out from yesterday's massage.
2x1 mile at marathon pace.

EARLY run before a full day at Snowbird. MCT to bathroom (which had no TP...yikes!!!) and back. It's been awhile since I've run outside and that was a bit more painful than normal. Ha!! Better work on that!

| My run was way too fast yesterday. And running outside. I was in a world of hurt and aches and pains. My ITB even flared up. That makes me nervous!!! I stretched and stretched and foamed rolled all day. Scraped and did lots of glut med stuff.
AM#1 at home--did a few minutes of running to see how the ITB felt. It was ok, so I'm going to proceed with my run tomorrow.

| TT: 2:48 AP: 9.20. Another broken up run--6.5 miles--7.5 miles--4 miles. It is definitely not ideal, but it all I got! I felt good other than tired feet and extreme soreness from TRX yesterday. Whenever I do these long runs, my "guts" always feel like they are going to fall out. The joys of going far!

| On the home TM--TT: 1:31 AP: 9:06
I was listening to a podcast last week and someone asked about splitting runs up (which I've been doing a lot lately). Easy runs yes, long runs no. I need to do my runs all at the same time, which means getting up early to fit it all in.
Early, early today. .75 miles easy--.25 hard for 10 miles. It's always a juggling act keeping injuries happy.
