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

| PT visit today and I passed my plyo metrics test. I don't think that I should've passed as my glutes are still very weak. But, I got the go ahead to start running again. Run 1 minute-walk 4 minutes x5. Yeah!
I'm going to need to be really careful. My shins are a bit mad from from hiking. I know these are growing pains, but since I'm prone to SFX I just need to go slow!

| The trail I was hoping to hike was closed for construction. So I stomped around for a mile because I had wasted time driving there and didn't get the hike I wanted. Ha!
My left foot peroneal tendons are on FIRE! Growing pains, I guess.

60 minute yoga class. I don't think I've ever stretched for an hour. It was harder than I thought. I saw Collette at the gym - it was good to catch up with her!

I got up early and headed up Grove Creek in the rain. My calves and peroneals have calmed down so I thought I would try a hike.
I have a mental list of moments in my life where time has stopped. I added another moment this morning. I was hiking before sunrise. It was chilly and there was a slight drizzle. I heard and then passed a majestic waterfall. There was snow on the mountains above. The leaves were in their full autumn glory. I'm grateful to be in such a wonderful place.

I went to ride my bike but had to turn around to put air in my tire. Then my phone kept ringing and I kept getting texts. Not the ride I was hoping for. 1 hour - 10.4 miles.

| I went to PT yesterday to have another sensor test done and a gait analysis. My gait was horrible. And my glutes are not getting any stronger. I thought I had been doing well, but left the appointment feeling depressed.
But now it is operation "get strong glutes". I tried to ride my bike today, but had a flat and didn't know how to change it. So lots of lifting and activating glutes.

| EARLY morning hike with Kellie T. It's been awhile since we've run/hike together. It was wonderful to catch up. Very very very dark. Very very very early.
I was huffing and puffing more than usual today. And all those glute exercises yesterday were making my legs SORE!

I wanted to make it 2 miles up the canyon, but I had to cross a stream at the top. There weren't any good stepping rocks, so I chickened out because I didn't want to get my feet wet. Technical trail. Waterfalls at the top!

| Grove Creek with Tim. He's the best husband to do this stuff with me. The sun was coming up when we hit the bench. Gorgeous stuff.
I ran a bunch on the way down. I had a group of lady hikers get after me about going out alone. Tim was behind me while I was running so they thought I was alone. Ha ha!! Good workout today!
