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

Remembering How Get Comfortable With the Uncomfortable
19.30 miles—3:39:32—11:23—1972 feet—163 bpm
11:23, 11:44, 10:56, 11:44, 10:44, 9:56, 10:26, 13:24, 10:44, 13:36, 13:22, 10:36, 10:15, 12:34, 11:54, 9:09, 11:55, 11:36, 10:52, 2:31
Kelli S. invited me to join her in St George for the Red Mountain 30k. This was a trail training run for Kelli and a base test to see where I was fitness wise. It has been since October since I have run trails. So my main goal was to do my best and be happy with the results.
Usually when Kelli and I run trails, I run in front and set the pace. When the race started, she happened to get in front of me in the congo line. She set the pace slightly faster than I would have run, but I’m so glad she did. She ran more of the hills than I would have run if I was in front. I definitely raced this more because she ran in front! She’s a smart runner!
We hit the first aid station at 7.7 miles. I made a quick potty stop, drank some Coke, and carried a banana out of the station. The next 5 mile loop was absolutely gorgeous. We even stopped to take a few pictures. Kelli ran ahead so she could take off her tights at the upcoming aid station. I followed green shirt guy and he set a perfect pace. The clouds started to burn off and it got super hot! I took off my jacket and arm sleeves at the aid station.
We started on the last 5 mile loop. There were some steepish downhill sections and my IT Band started to flare up. We got to the road section of the race and thought we were almost to the finish line. But another racer yelled at us to make a turn and started on a trail to a large gully. I was starting to get into the dark hole. My body was beyond tired. My IT band would throw in stabs of pain. The sun was beating down on us. And I was mad it was taking forever.
There was no finish line in sight. In fact, the course was 1.5 miles long. Finally, we saw the finish arch. With 100 yards to go, we made a final push to pass two lady runners. Those last three miles were definitely UNCOMFORTABLE!
But I did it. I finished. Kelli pushed me and I am so grateful for her encouragement. This was a great fitness benchmark. Time to recover and get ready for Ogden.

| I don't run well (or even function well) when I run SUPER early. At least I did remember to work on gait cues. Flicking sand and tapping elbows felt a bit easier today than last time.

All my buddies flaked on me today, so it was a solo early run. I was one layer too short and a tad bit chilly! Still worked on the flicking sand, but harder to do over a longer distance.
Caught a large group of girls and a couple on the way back. Nice motivation.

| I have scheduling conflicts this week, so I did my long run today. I choose a hilly route on purpose and struggled on those hills. But overall felt good. And it was nice to see the sun.

I had to start REALLY early and I was still very tired/sore from Monday. I should have just run. This workout really aggrivated my high hamstring (anything with speed does). My ITB is slighly bugging AFTER the workout. Again.....I should have just run, because the workout was just fair.
Lots of rolling and stretching. GRRRRRRR

| Lots of doing what I love today! 14 miles - 8 with Collette (MCT loop) and 6 alone (up Apline Hwy). Kept it easy and absolutely loved soaking in that sun! Felt really good. With my only running 3 days/week, most of my runs are long. I'm curious to see how this plays out on race day.

Ran with Karen in the MCT. It was so lovely to catch up with her. And she is a really consistent runner.....I love it! I accidentally dropped her GU somewhere. Oh dear! We saw Smooth and Wendy on the trail. I think I convinced her to run Ogden!
Hamstring felt much better the longer I ran. Yeah....I was kinda grumpy about it this morning before I left.

I was more nervous than usual about this run and I don't know why. I had accupuncture done on my hammies yesterday. But my low back was feeling tight. I ran the hills strong, but when I hit the water fountain in Alpine, my right hammie totally cramped up. It was quite comical. I was able to finish and ran 15 sec faster per mile. I felt hammered by the end. Good thing next week is spring break and an easy week for me.
