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.

Lao-Tzu

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.

 

…and what I’d rather see you do is to get the goal out of mind completely, but rather focus on the process, not the outcome. -Jay Johnson Process orientation, not outcome orientation.

 

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 

 

4.   Find the courage to be patient.

I was a bit nervous going into this workout since I just did a hard workout on Saturday.  But I felt good and maybe could have gone faster.

 

This morning I watched the 2018 Boston Marathon when Desi Lindon won.  She’s one of favorites.  I’ve decided my slogan for this training cycle is “Keep showing up”.  

 

Grateful not to be injured.  Time to recover hard after these hard workouts.

The gym treadmills reset after 60 minutes.  So I stop it on even mile splits.

 

I’m trying to decide how I feel about this run.  I feel like I worked a lot harder than last week, but I am 9 seconds slower per mile.

Well that was character building :/

 

I climbed up to the mouth of American Fork Canyon.  It’s challenging enough on its own, but this morning added snow, wind, and snow-plow sludge.  Those 3 miles were gnarly and HARD.  Lots of climbing and crazy footing.

 

But once I hit the golf course, the wind eased up and there was no snow-plow sludge.  

 

On the way down the canyon, I was finally able to “run” and felt good.  

 

Maybe I should have done this on a TM?  Or maybe this built mental toughness.

 

I will do the hilly part of this run for my hill workout on Monday.  Hopefully, the conditions will be better.

 

Calves/inside shins are VERY tight.  Massage already on the schedule for Tuesday.

Workout:  4 mile warm up - 10 miles down the canyon @9:00-9:10 - 2 mile cooldown

Tim drove Karen and I up to Tibble Fork.  I felt SO good the entire run.  For once, nothing hurt.  My AF streets splits were faster than my canyon splits.  Double bonus that the sun was shining!

I ran with Janae R. in Ogden today!  She's super nice and was awesome to go my slow place!  She filmed me on the TM and we talked about my form.

Then we went outside.  We went a little too fast and I was DYING by the end.  I was suppose to do a 2 mile tempo @8:10-8:15 (8:22 & 8:30).  I even felt a little vomity while changing my clothes afterwards.

Whew....just finished my 18 miler.  Those don’t get any easier no matter how many times you do it😂

 

I met Karen at the Lehi Legacy Center because of all the snow.  TM wasn’t super ideal, but better than icy/snowy roads.  I’ll admit, I held onto the front of the TM and stopped between each set for water/fuel.

 

The TM resets after 60 minutes.  

 

4 mile warm up:  38:12 (9:35)

2x6 mile tempo @ 9:00-9:10:  54:45 (9:07) & 54:05 (9:00)

2 mile cooldown:  18:44 (9:22)

 

So hopefully I’m adding all these times up right.  TT:  2:45:46. AP: 9:13.  I felt better the longer I went.  2 GU’s, 1 package of shot blocks, 1 bottle Tailwind, 1 bottle of Gatorade.  I guess I need ALOT of fuel.  Started to tank during the 2nd part of tempo.....loaded up on fuel and came back to life.

 

Pre run fuel:  Nanohydr8, banana, protein bar and bagel.

 

Hamstring felt pretty good.  I got acupuncture and a massage on it.  It’s still sore from the massage....she bruised it up good. 

 

After Karen left, I watched the Breaking 2 documentary on YouTube......amazing!!!

It’s been awhile since I’ve run outside....felt rusty.  Quads a bit heavy.  Hamstring pulling a little.

 

Hmmmm....I was hitting the paces you prescribed (6:34, 6:33,3:27, 3:24, 1:57), but I feel like I should be faster.  These paces didn’t come easy...definitely in puke zone.  I was hitting these paces in October (6:34, 6:31, 3:25, 3:25, 1:59).  I’ve done way more speedwork since October.

Super nervous about this workout.  I ended up running in the evening.  Maybe that worked out for the best because the sunshine felt amazing.

I was almost to my mile1 tempo split..yikes...too fast...I slowed down to a jog so I wasn't sub8 on mile 1.  Same with mile 2.  Oh man too fast.

I devided to go hard for mile 3 and see what I could do.  I felt great!

I wasn't sure how the 4x90 secons would turn out.  Prettary darn good!

Down AF Canyon—MCT—AF Half Course 

3 mile warm up-14 mile tempo @ 9-9:10 (but last simulation run was 8:45 overall and 8:35 for 11 mile tempo).

TT: 2:36:51  AP:  8:43

That was hard 😩  Too many stops today which frustrates me.

It was 11 degrees at the top of the canyon.....freezing cold.  Ran with Karen and was really glad she was there.  Mile 3 was up the canyon.

I struggled mentally at mile 16/17.  I stopped and took some more fuel/salt pills/Advil and then rallied on.  I think part of the meltdown was I was done with the tempo at this point in the run during the last canyon run but still had 2 miles left today.

Overall pace was good, but I need to be more consistent with my pacing.....hold back more.  

I’m not sure what is up with the mile 14 split.  I’m pretty sure I didn’t run a 6:56 mile...or if I did, maybe that is why I blew up at mile 16. 

My brain is tired.  If I think of anything else, I’ll send it later.

Hmmmm....this didn’t go so well.  I felt like I was coming down with a cold all week.  Lots of water and LOTS of sleep.

 

Pre run:  bagel.

 

I met Karen and Leslie and warmed up with them for 3 miles.  I felt like I was working hard during the warmup.  Left the ladies.

 

Ran the first 3k.  It was a little too hard, but got through it.

 

Took a gel right before #2.  Not quite as hard.

 

Started #3.  Started seeing stars 1 mile into it.  I stopped for 10-15 seconds and took a drink.  I still didn’t feel right.  I just ran and didn’t even look at my watch.  My heart was beating so fast.

 

Started to cool down.  Still breathing SO hard and heart beating so fast.  Almost felt dizzy.  I missed the turn to get back to my car and then freaked out because I was 2-3 miles from my car.  I knew I didn’t have enough in me to get to back to it.  Thankfully, my husband was leaving for lunch and I was by his office.  He kept saying, “you don’t look very good.  You REALLY don’t look very good.”

 

So I’m not sure if it was a nutrition bonk, but that last 3k/cooldown was crazy.

Karen asked me to join her on her 20th marathon.  Since I was already trained I decided to run.  I saw Lowell and Smooth on the bus.  It was wonderful to catch up!

Karen and I started together, but she left me around mile 2/3 and I didn't see her again till the finish.  I knew I wouldn't PR on this course, but I definitely underestimated the hills.  I really enjoyed the scenery and felt like I ran smart.  Nutrition and water intake was 100% on point.  We had cool and overcast weather....even a tailwind.

I was leap frogging with a young girl.  I noticed she started to fall behind a bit and motioned for her to run with me.  I ran the last 3-4 miles with her and we finished together.  We didn't talk a lot, but it was nice to have the company.  I saw Pam Bodtcher at the finish.  She said, "you make running marathons look so easy."  That was very nice of her to say.  Tim and Carter came after the race.

This was a small race...only had 900 runners for the marathon.  I had a really great experience (the cool weather was a major factor).  I ran the same exact time at Mt Charleston.  It is time to go back to the drawing board for training though.  I'm no where near a BQ.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this race since I have just run two marathons.  I feel like I've barely run since Utah Valley, so I was just happy to be here today.  Collette texted me last night about going to the race together.  What a great surprise!  We rode the bus up together.

I started very slow because I didn't want to Fly 'n Die.  I kept holding back and wish I wouldn't have.  I missed my course PR by 10 seconds :(  I dropped by GU somewhere and had to stop at the mile 7 aid station.  It totally cost me 20-30 seconds to open my GU and eat it (and it was a gross flavor).

Once I excited the canyon, I decided to push as hard as I could.  My first half of the race, my AP was 8:16 (down the canyon).  My second half of the race, my AP was 8:11 (flat).  I need to be a better down-the-canyon runner.  I saw an aquaintance about mile 12.  She kinda drives me crazy and I went right past her.  I knew I had to go to puke zone to keep her at bay.  It was my fastest mile of the race.  

I hung out in the finish chute for a minute to video Collette coming in.  I saw lots of friends!  Then Carter started his 5k.  He only wanted to run it to get the free Kneaders french toast.  He did a great job!  6th in his AG.

Post race, I'm feeling quite sore.  I must have run harder than I was in shape for.  I'm pleased with my time all things considered.  But I'm ticked I missed my course PR by 10 seconds (I should've looked up that PR time before the race).

I need to decide if I want to run St George.  Today is maybe not the day to make that decision :)

Talk on the street is that the BQ’s are going to get faster.  That means I’ll need to cut off 20 minutes from my current PR.  I think I’m out.  It just seems too overwhelming and I gave too many injuries.  I’ll still run, but no more BQ attempts.  I’m sad.

Hi Toby! Glad to see you were still blogging. Just want to let you know how much I love and appreciate you!

We love receiving your Christmas card/letter. We think the world of you and Tim (Bishop) and your growing kids! :)

Smooth!!!!

How are you dear friend? Thank you for reaching out! I’m not running right now (adrenal fatigue), but am going to a weight lifting class 3-4/week. It’s been fun to try something different. But I miss running and all my running friends!!!

So glad to see you are still pounding the pavement! Love you!!!!

Karen does weight lifting with Amanda Ashby who was a champion in a bodybuilding contest last year. You girls are amazing!!!

So happy to hear you're having fun trying different things. You're always improving and meeting challenges with such positive attitudes. I love you! Thank you for your wonderful example!
