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

I've been feeling somewhat discouraged lately with my running. Some of it has to do with the winter weather we've been having and I haven't been able to hit paces. Today gave me HOPE!
Workout: 4 mile warm up - 10 miles down the canyon @9:00-9:10 - 2 mile cooldown
Tim drove Karen and I up to Tibble Fork. I felt SO good the entire run. For once, nothing hurt. My AF streets splits were faster than my canyon splits. Double bonus that the sun was shining!

| I ran with Janae R. in Ogden today! She's super nice and was awesome to go my slow place! She filmed me on the TM and we talked about my form.
Then we went outside. We went a little too fast and I was DYING by the end. I was suppose to do a 2 mile tempo @8:10-8:15 (8:22 & 8:30). I even felt a little vomity while changing my clothes afterwards.

cool down till hit 17 miles. This is where I started to tank. I CANNOT figure out marathon nutrition. These gels are making me SO sick. I totally tanked after the 2nd 20 minutes and it was totally nutrition related. Ughhh.... and my high hamstring got aggrivated. Grrrrr......

| No speed work today. But I did go for an easy run to test out the hamstring. It felt ok, but not worse. It was cold and icy.

Whew....just finished my 18 miler. Those don’t get any easier no matter how many times you do it😂
I met Karen at the Lehi Legacy Center because of all the snow. TM wasn’t super ideal, but better than icy/snowy roads. I’ll admit, I held onto the front of the TM and stopped between each set for water/fuel.
The TM resets after 60 minutes.
4 mile warm up: 38:12 (9:35)
2x6 mile tempo @ 9:00-9:10: 54:45 (9:07) & 54:05 (9:00)
2 mile cooldown: 18:44 (9:22)
So hopefully I’m adding all these times up right. TT: 2:45:46. AP: 9:13. I felt better the longer I went. 2 GU’s, 1 package of shot blocks, 1 bottle Tailwind, 1 bottle of Gatorade. I guess I need ALOT of fuel. Started to tank during the 2nd part of tempo.....loaded up on fuel and came back to life.
Pre run fuel: Nanohydr8, banana, protein bar and bagel.
Hamstring felt pretty good. I got acupuncture and a massage on it. It’s still sore from the massage....she bruised it up good.
After Karen left, I watched the Breaking 2 documentary on YouTube......amazing!!!

I actually felt very good today. Hamstring was mostly good. Lots of stretching and foam rolling.

I felt like I could have gone faster and done more....but I didn’t. I didn’t want to push the hamstring.
Cool down till hit hit 6.5 and then I had to get kids ready for school. I was worried about my hamstring. I could feel it, but it wasn’t any worse. I will be foam rolling ALL day to keep it happy. Just a little nervous about it.

| 2 hour yoga class at a real yoga studio. The verdict is still out about how I felt about it. It needed more legs and less chanting.
