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'm learning a few valuable lessons during my break:
1. Stay off Facebook. I have a tendancy to see what other runners are doing (or not doing) and get caught up in the hype. I need to listen to my own body and forget everyone else.
2. Take meaning breaks. After every marathon and training cycle, I HAVE to take some time off running. I'm realizing just how important this is to MY being successful.
3. Strength training is not optional any more. I feel like I've upped my ST game a lot in the past few years. But I need to up it again.
I meet with the surgeon on Friday to decide if I need my hip scoped. I am NOT in the "frantic panic". I was so burned out and broken. I've been sleeping A LOT and feel like my body is healing. REST is essential!

| I met with the hip surgeon's PT today at TOSH. I was super impressed with her. She went over in detail my different options. We decided to do an injection into the hip socket with a round of PT as a last conservative resort. OK. I have done a lot of PT, but I haven't done it with a cortisone injection.

| Cortisone injection into the hip socket. As soon as the doctor was done, he asked if it felt better. Ummm....nope. That didn't gvie me a lot of hope.
I met with the PT later that afternoon. I was feeling a bit defeated. All these doctor/PT visits are taking up a lot of time. Is it all worth it?
I really liked Joel. He had a lot of good suggestions and wanted me to start running. Yeah! Hope it is all worth it.

I was suppose to run the Ogden marathon today, but sold my bib. I was feeling a bit sad today. But it was definitely the right choice to not run. Come on body....work with me!

| I went to see Dr Brady yesterday to have him work on my hammie. I wanted to get his opinion on having hip surgery. He was the first person in a long line of people that knew exactly what was wrong. He is very knowledgeable but has a very poor bedside manner.
He got really frustrated with me that I had run a few days. Then proceeded to tell me that if I have the surgery, I probably will not run marathons or ultra's anymore. Whoa! I certainly left feeling inspired and uplifted.
