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 have found great success by turning on brown noise. there are many great playlists on spotify/itunes. i think the sleep experts recommend pink or white noise (lol, these colors), but brown has worked really well for me.

Holy crap that sucked. I was in puke zone during every set.  Maybe I did the 2 mile tempo too fast because those 1/2 mile repeats were so far gone…..I wasn’t even close.  Kinda shook my confidence.

Glute activation exercises 

Well that was humbling :). My biggest mistake was not bringing water.  The drinking fountains are on, but they didn’t match up with my recovery spots.  So I had too many unplanned stops to get a drink.  I took 1 Gu.  This was definitely hard, but I did hit all the times (and even negative splits).

Calves are very tight.  Lots of mobility and rolling.

My calf/achilles/peroneal has REALLY been bothering me.  I had a massage on Wednesday, but it is still sore.  So I just ran slow today instead of the workout.  I'm hoping with our senior trip and less running, it will chill out.

Instead of running, I dusted off my bike and pumped up the tires.  I was so slow, but it sure felt good to sweat in the sun.  That sweating and sunshine always puts me in a better mood.

Not quite the race I was hoping for.

.5 mile warm up—glute activation 

Took off way slow.  Kept slowing down remembering I wanted to negative split.  Everything felt easy till mile 4. 

Then I really had to start to work.  Those darn 5k walkers get in the way ;). That last .7 up the hill to the finish did me in.  My lungs were on FIRE (I’m wondering if it’s from when I had Covid last year…..I was gasping for air…..lungs are still sore as I write this).

Negative split until 5.3.  Oh well. I’m not sure if starting any slower would have helped or it’s just a hard course (and weaving through all the people at the end)…or I’m just not there fitness-wise yet.

I’m going to try to finish some of my harder workouts on an uphill.  I want revenge :)

Long version:  I saw a friend and ran with her the first mile, but she was going too fast for me.  Felt good down the canyon and on the golf course.  Took GU at mile 5.  

Really started to hurt when I hit the MTC.  Hung on for as long as I could.  Took water at mile 12 and just kept thinking 4 laps around the track…3 laps around the track….2 laps.  The wheels were rolling off :(

Ironically, I ran a faster AP than I did the Freedom Run.  My PR in this course is 1:47, so I felt pleased I was only 2 minutes off for a “C” race.

Time to get back to work.  And take a nap!

I forgot how much this race frustrates me.  Packet pick up was so slow.  45 minute bus wait.  40 minute late start.  So cheaply run.  It's kinda embarrassing.  

The mile markers and my watch were way off.  I tried to keep a semi-steady pace down the canyon.  Gu at mile 5.  Water at each station.  It was cool, overcast and even rained during mile 3.  Hills at mile 6 and 10.

The wheels came off at mile 10.  My arms and legs were so heavy.  I didn't have another gear.  I walked too long at the mile 12 water station.  Frustrating.  I'm supposed to talk with coach Mel on Monday.  6 weeks until SG.  Time for super focus.

We had a really hard family day yesterday, so I am mentally and physically exhausted. Plus Georgia asked me to take her to the 5:00am leg class at Kyle's and I can't say now when my kids want to hang out.  But I did say NO to next week.

I'm really pleased at that last 8:00mm during the last mile of the last 3 mile tempo (it was just out of the canyon up that big hill on the golf course).  I also hit the lap button during the last .5 sprint so it broke up the time.  I probably walked too much during those .25 mile recoveries.

My legs are toast.  I'm a bit worried about doing another big workout on Monday.  Depending on how I feel, we may need to push it to Tuesday.

Michelle reached out about running together today!  I was nervous about being too slow for her…..she was nice enough to go my pokey pace.

I knew today wouldn’t be as fast as last week since we didn’t go down the canyon, but the effort was there.

I had a hard time seeing the paces on my watch (old lady eyes).  Maybe could have gone a bit faster.

Time to recover…recover…recover!!!!

Side note:  I ran a 7:30 mile during mile 13 today.  My fastest mile during my April time trial was a 7:40.  Boom!

Hobble Creek Half Marathon:  2012 - 1:43:01 (previous pr)

I went to the race by myself. The rest of the family had stuff going on.  I saw Rachel at the race expo and always love seeing her!
 
I got some pizza and headed over to see the Cranes.  Their kids are so darling.  I finally got to the Macdonald’s house and we chatted for a minute.
 
I slept so horrible.  I kept worrying about my alarm going off. I hardly slept at all.  My phone finally went off at 3:05.
 
I had a headache and my body felt terrible.  I met all the Stratton’s at the expo center to catch the bus at 4:00am.  I’m super grateful I didn’t have to ride the bus or hang out at the start alone.    We got to the start at 4:45am, but the race didn’t start till 6:30.  I kept second guessing myself about everything.
 
My goal for the race was 1:45 (8:00/mile).
 
The gun went off and it was very dark. I brought a little flashlight so I could see my watch splits.  Michelle and I ran together.
 
My legs felt so heavy and clunky.  Our first mile split was 8:44.  I hit the panic button. My thoughts started to go south.
 
Mile 2 split was 7:40.  Oh crap….I’m going to fast.  We finally got into a groove.  We started to climb around mile 6 and Michelle dropped back.  I thought for sure she was right in my tail.  
 
I was feeling pressure that I needed to beat her.  Silly.  But I felt it.  So I was running scared.
 
The last 2 miles took awhile, but I never felt like the wheels came off.  I felt in control and kept the gas peddle down.  I passed Jen Richards at mile 11 and continued to run scared.  My mile 12 split was 7:26.  I tried to figure out my splits to see if I could go sub 1:43.  Fuzzy math.
 
I ran pass this random lady, Kristen, who was walking.  I grabbed her arm and told her to run with me.  This happened twice.  We chatted for a second at the finish and she told me I was her guardian angel.
 
My legs were so heavy during that last stretch.  I’ll admit that I was sad I had no family at the finish line.  I waited for Michelle—Brook—Mel to finish.  Mel gave me the biggest hug.
 
After everyone finished, we were sitting on the ground chilling.  Michelle said the nicest things to me.  “You are so mentally tough.  You took off and never looked back.”  “You look so pretty when you run.”  She would never know how much those kind words meant to me.
 
I think I truly RACED this race.  I pushed the limit from the beginning.  It’s been 10 years since I’ve had a half marathon PR.  That’s a lot of self doubt and heart break.  16 second PR today.

I've really wanted to get a turkey trot PR since last year.  Such a silly race, but I've been doing it for so many years!  My speed workouts have been good, but my legs felt like garbage all week.

Carter ran with me and said he would stay with me.  What a good kid.

I did a 1 mile warm up.  We lined up and the gun went off.  I was feeling good, but felt like I needed kick it up a knotch.  I told Carter to leave me at mile 2.  I missed the mile 2 split so the only splits I saw were in the 7:50's.  I didn't think I was going to beat my time.  The race distance was way short, but I beat my time.  I also placed first in the 40-44 age group.  I definitely could not have gone faster.  My heart was racing like crazy.  It was super fun to have all my kids there.  I watched a video that Tim took and I looked so slow coming into the finish line.

I quickly changed my clothes and we headed to the gym for the Thanksgiving workout.  I was absolutely dead.

3 easy on the TM.  Big snow last night.

 

Went to see Joel Nuttall about all my achilles/peroneal/shin splits.  He said I have retro calcaneous impingement (aka back of the ankle inpingement).  He gave me some stretches.  I'm feeling slightly ok about the visit.  Not as hopeful.
