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

| Definitely an awkward running week. We are home from our cruise and I’m glad to be back! Herriman Transverse with Rachel and Kim today. It was hard but I didn’t feel like I was going to die. I attribute that to being at a normal elevation. My feet are sore from all the rocks.

I needed a "gut check" to see if my body could handle running the ultra distance. I signed up a few weeks ago quietly to give it a shot.
The weather was beautiful all day! Miles 1-15 involved most of the climbing the course. I was familiar with the climbs for miles 1-7. But there was a new beast that climbed miles 13-15. It had a false summit and I was DYING when I got to the top of mile 15. Thankfully, there was an aid station there and I had the most divine Coke (side note...the previous aid station was at mile 5.5. Too long between aid stations).
The next several miles included several sharp rocky downhills. I also struggled through these. I am a VERY cautious downhill runner. Physically, my hip flexors and ITB were bugging. Mentally, I know my weaknesses are the ups and sharp downs. I kept leap frogging with a young couple. Just as I was about to catch them, they would take off. It was never ending.
After the mile 20 aid station, I caught a second wind. My aches and pains sub-sided (compliments of some Advil) and I was able to pick up the pace. A lot. I really started to pass people (including the young couple--finally!!!!!). The more people I passed, the faster I got. And my spirits were brightened.
I took a short wrong turn right at the finish. After my mistake, we still had a mile to go. It kinda burst my bubble. There is a very small hill that takes FOREVER and seems so huge. The hill is only .2 miles long , but I HATE it.
I feel really happy about my race--especially the last 10 miles. I need to work on my uphill climbing (I think I will always be a cautious downhill runner). I didn't run with anyone during this race and it was a bit lonely. I had a great playlist though. My feet are very sore and my ITB is still slightly bugging.
It's good to be done.

When I pulled into the CC parking lot, I recognized a few faces. Tina and Amber. We are FB/IG acquaintances. I joined their group for a few miles. My legs were tired, but I hung on just enough. It was super fun to meet them and run a few miles together. Hopefully we can do it again.
I don’t feel 100% hammered.

Tried to lift this morning, but the jr high school bus didn’t come. So I brought a bunch of smelly jr high kids to school. Only 1 set of lifting.
Tried to run more of the uphills, but wasn’t as successful as I hoped. But the weather was gorgeous—28 degrees and sunny. Everything feels good.
