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

This is my first run since the GV 50K last week. I finally did it....I took a break after a race. I've had this mentality that I always need to be running (even if it is short and slow). I had a lot of niggles and knew that I HAD to take some time to rest. And I did. YEAH! I also took a break from all things running....reading running blogs, FB and Instagram feeds, talking about running.
I certainly felt creakly this morning. And kind of fat and soft - I guess that happens when you don't run for 7 days!

I accidentally sent my alarm for 6:45 and not 5:45. So I couldn't run outside and had to run downstairs instead (again, so grateful I have a TM). Feeling very creaky.

I really needed to clear my head today outside. I helped at my kid's school and then headed down to Orem to the water tower. I got on the Bonneville Shoreline trail. It had been several years since Ive been there and forgot how hilly that first mile is. I finally found my grove but it was way hotter than I thought. I wish I had more water.It sure was beautiful!
I only got 9.5 miles, so I drove down to the MC and finished up my last few miles there. On the way home, I stopped at a gas station and bought the biggest Gatoraide they had. I guzzled the whole thing down in the parking lot. Then it sloshed around in my gut all the way home.
Great day!

power pump - for the first time EVER, I felt like I could do the workout with an extra amount of omfff. Hopefully that means I'm getting stronger.

| I'm REALLY trying to be smart and use November/December as an off season. I think I started my Ogden marathon training too early and it came back to get me. So today was a rest day.
I have a daughter who is a hoarder. It is quite funny because my husband and I are minamalist. So I'm not sure where she got that from. We have been switching bedrooms around - we had to split up my 2 big girls because of the hoarding.
It has been moving furniture, painting, dejunking and major cleaning at my house. We probably have another week of major stuff. But today, I sorted all my running/outdoor gear. No one probably cares, but my life feels much better when I have order.
When mom is happy...everyone is happy!

MCT with Karen
Karen texted me yesterday about doing our long run on Friday. I had to attend my triplet's wax musuem performance in the morning, so we started a bit later. It was a beautiful run on the canal. Great pace and conversation! So glad we got to catch up!
I noticed when I tried to go faster my hip/adductor always starts to bug. It's been alright the past few weeks since I've kept things short and slow, but I could totally feel it today. Grrrr.....

| 5 very slow creaky miles before power pump with Kellie at the gym. I can't believe how sore I am from yesterday's run. I run so differently on a TM than I do outside....and I'm paying the price today!!! Hip extremely sore.
Power pump-sweaty mess.
Long stretch and foam roll at home. Off to clean the play room....yuck

We switched our cable to Dish Network and I had to stop a few times to try to figure out the TV. Grrrrr...... Off to go ski with the family. Sometimes this particular family activity requires a LOT of patience. It is a love/hate relationship!

| I was beyond tired and really wanted to stay in bed today. We went skiing yesterday. I was the "caboose" and stay behind all the kids while we skied. Therefore, it was a slow snow plow for several hours (it was a great day of skiing though - no meltdowns and all smiles). After 10 miles, weights and a full day of skiing, my legs were toast.
My only goal was to finish!
TT: 33:33 (3 minutes slower than last year)
AP: 8:34

Mandy and I stayed with our husbands the first lap, then started to pick up the pace. We just kept talking and running. By the last mile, I couldn't talk anymore because we were running too fast.
I was feeling a bit down and grumpy about last year's turkey trot race. I won the 35-39 age catagory last year and my husband's family told me I only won because my SIL wasn't trying her best. I guess being there this year brought back all those sad feelings. I really do need to let it go.
I've decided that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. No presents or major gift expectations. 5-day holiday weekend. My kids REALLY get the gratitude and I love being grateful. It was a good day.
