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've stuck with my 40 miles/week and don't have plans to increase it. I've felt very creaky and just off. My left foot has been bugging. I've done a lot of scraping and ice. I think the tendons are just stressed. At least I hope so. This morning was just alright. I felt like my form was off. Form has always been a struggle for me. It is done and over. I was WAY over dressed this morning. I did use my turkey coupon for my win on Saturday...it was worth $12.44. Sweet! | |

| TT: 1:07:00 AP: 9:25 I decided to run on the home TM ....the wind just didn't sounds appealing! Easy miles. My SIL is always reading a book on her iPad while she runs, so I decided to give it a try this morning. It definitely made the time go by faster, but I had to hold onto the side while I scrolled through the pages. It took some coordination :) 3x 10/side step ups on bench with weight 15 hamstring curls with ball B6 60/60/60 plank Pikes with ball-I'm not very good at these, but they did seem to help stretch out the tops of my feet 20 dips Quick stretch | |

After my workout on Tuesday morning, I sat down to read with my daughter. We read for a long time. When I stood up, I couldn't put any weight onto my foot. Honestly, it felt like it was broken. It was a bit achy on Tuesday's run, but nothing crazy.
I couldn't put pressure on it all day. This totally stressed me out. I've been working so hard since May to be slow and smart with my training. I called my PT was able to get in on Tuesday afternoon. He said that I had some serious tendonitis in my Peroneal Brevis. It felt a smidge better after he worked on it. He told me to modify my workouts by adding more cross training.

My foot was a bit achy when I first got on the TM, but it did feel better after awhile. I went to the PT again this morning. Though it doesn't feel like it is broken, it is still very sore. I know that if I don't chill for awhile this could turn into a tear or a SF. I'm going back to the PT on Saturday morning and he's going to watch me do my running workout and film me again.
It is only December and I still have time.

| I went to my PT again this morning. He had me do 20 minutes hard on the bike as a warm up. Then I did 6 miles on the TM. I had to stop after each mile and walk 1 minute. He filmed me running durning the last mile while I was tired. He said my cadence, trunk rotation and arm placement were good, but my hip internal hip rotators were weak. The weak hips were bringing my foot/ankle down funny. He showed me an exercise to help strengthen it. We'll see. But my foot did feel a lot better on this run. We took our kids up to the Utah Food Bank today. Then we ate lunch at Freebirds. Yummy! This chain was down in Texas and we used to go there all the time. | |

| Today was my first artic run outside (sub-20 degrees) and I was pleasantly surprised. I had on 3 base layers, jacket, 2 pairs of tights, and hat/mittens. I was very warm, but could feel the ice on my eye lashes. My main goal was just to run and not fall. I didn't care about pace....just wanted to get outside. I will definitely be doing this again.

Those first 3 miles were on snowy sidewalks. On the way back, I ran on the road. But my headlamp ran out of battery....not too safe.
My foot is a bit achy, but I plan on doing PT exercises, ice and stretch it.

She wanted to head to the Murdock Canal and it had been plowed. She said the city was going to clear it all winter and the bathrooms are going to be open too! Yeah for us! It was very murky out, but still better than being on a TM. Though we were very slow, we had a great conversation. I was surprised at how many runners I saw out today. Before and after run: B6 Lunge matrix Touch downs I always have such a love/hate relationship with the Christmas season. I always start to get stressed out with all the final gifts, neighborhood gifts, and just getting everything done. And my dryer died. I bought it on December 1, 2012. Grrrr......I think I've been able to convince GE to come out and fix it for free. But I did spend all morning at the laundromat. That is an ineffective way to spend time. | |

It was a slip, slidey mess! It was beautiful though...everything was twinkley and icey! It was nice to just run and not push the pace (and to focus on my footing)! Plus it was warm! I took off my gloves on the way home.

Off to Christmas sings, class parties, a piano recital, bringing the AFFD treats tonight and make dinner. Today should be the end of the madness!

I had to head out early this morning so I could be back in time for our ward Christmas breakfast. It was still snowing and by far the most beautiful run of the year. Everything seemed so quiet!!
It was quite slick out and the snow was heavy. On the last half of the run, the sidewalks are quite uneven. I was totally going slow to watch my footing. I made it through the tricky section successfully. Then immediately, I tripped over a big branch! Ha Ha!! I landed on my elbow and put a hole in my new shell. Stink!
A few months ago, I would have been really disappointed with my slow, even times. But considering the amount of snow and ice, I feel like the effort was even and consistent.
My foot is definitely tired!

| TT: 57:00 A slow putter on the home TM. I finished my first I-book..12 Years a Slave. The end was really good and the first 4 miles flew by. And then I finished the book and had to watch the news for the last 2 miles. Boring!

| I was up from 2-4:30am puking my guts outs. Maybe too many holiday treats! Once I got everything out, I felt so much better. We were suppose to go skiing as a family today. Though I felt a lot better, I didn't want to be puking on the slopes. So I stayed home with my two oldest girls...they want to spend their gift certificates they got for Christmas. I'm not sure what is worse with a crazy stomach....skiing or shopping. I wanted to get some sort of a run in, so my goal was to get through a mile...then 2 miles...then 3. It was slow and I stopped a lot. Long stretching session. Merry Christmas! | |

| I'm definitely feeling better, but still weak after yesterday's puke fest. I was suppose to do 12 miles today, but just didn't have the energy or strength to do it. Oh well....I can't beat myself up over it. 3 slow miles on the home TM. But it took a lot of energy. 3x Crossover drill Touch downs Lunge matrix 15 push ups My husband's grandma past away, so we are traveling to her funeral today. It starts early, so I'm not sure if I will be able to workout. Maybe that will be for the best and my foot/stomach will feel better. | |

| TT: 1:23:07 AP: 9:14 9 easy miles on the home TM. I read about a few things on the internet that might help my peroneal tendinitis - I put a wedge in my shoe to help lesson the load. I taped it a different way. I tied my shoes the old way...the new way seemed to bug it even more. It felt better during the run, but I still need to give it a few days. I did just take 2 days off from running. Maybe it is a combination of everything? 3x Walking lunges Hamstring lift Side to side lunges Crossover drill Push-ups V-ups Skull crushers Front raise Front row Quick stretch and foam roll | |
