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

| My ITB sersiously bugs after running on Saturday. Probably a combination of the downhill and the longer miles. My body does not like downhill! So I rode my bike to have an extra rest day. Very windy!

I was up all night waiting for kids to come home from various events. So when my alarm went off at 5:45am, I literally rolled out of bed. I sleep-ran the first few miles.

I ran just slow/fast enough to keep the high hamstring happy. I passed my daughter running the grinder with the team. I'm SO not cool and only gave her a little wave (while inside I wanted to shout and give her big pump fists!!!)

| MCT loop -- absolutely no mojo. My high hamstring and ITB are bugging. My body does NOT like downhill or fast running. Sigh.... Still trying to decide if I should run the AF Half on Saturday.

| I think my ITB and high hammie have been bugging because I've been running a bit faster and I'm not strength training as much. Balance! Next year, I am NOT going to run during the summer. The heat is horrible. It will become my off-season...ha ha!!

| | Race: |
American Fork Canyon Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:47:40, Place overall: 417, Place in age division: 58 | | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | | 0.00 | 13.10 | 13.10 |

WOW, what a day! I have had some high hamstring and ITB pain. I was NOT excited to run this race. I felt very unprepared. But I got a text from our primary president (I'm her 1st counselor) who has breast cancer. She asked me if I was running the race. I knew I had to run and make a FAST attitude adjustment.
I took some Aleve on Friday night and Saturday morning and hoped that it would help any aches and pains. I rode the bus solo while listening to a Trail Manner's podcast. Accidently opened a porto-potty door with a dude in it. It was quite chilly at the start--perfect!
I started with the 1:55 pacer, but he was talking too much. So I slowly crept ahead of him, but constantly worrying I was going out too fast. I really tried to keep my pace in check down the canyon, but in retrospect, I needed to pick it the pace.
I felt great exciting the canyon and enjoyed the AFHS drum line in the golf course section. I just kept trying to pick off people. I kept waiting for the WALL to come and the wheels to fall off. But honestly, I felt really good until mile 12, then it was keeping the pukes in check.
I REALLY loved the course finish. It made the race feel so much faster. Looking through my mile splits, my non-canyon miles were almost as fast as my canyon miles. I ran significantly faster than I anticipated and my family didn't make it in time. I was sad they weren't there. I ran a course PR (previous PR was 1:48:24).
We waited for my primary president and her family to finish the 5k. It was emotional to see all her kids run in with her. It is such a great race with a great cause AND I got to see SO many friends.
Half marathons are awesome! I feel great aftwards and I even did a ton of yard work today! If I had run a marathon, I would be passed out on the couch. I need to do more halfs!
