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

| 60 minutes of aqua running
I went to the rec center again this morning to swim in the deep end of the pool. The swim team was there practicing (arghh...5:00am for a swim team practice is early!) and lots of retired folks and me. I aqua-ran for an hour. It didn't seem as hard as it did last time nor am I as sore. Maybe I am getting better? Probably not!

| It's so hard to figure how many running miles a swim/aqua jog is - hard to judge effort. I *think* I swam about 6.5 running miles. 50 minutes - 66 laps - just over a mile They were doing an water aerobics class this morning, so there was only 1 lane open at the pool. Some guy asked if he could share the lane - sure, no problem. *I really don't know anything about swimming* but this guy had the messiest swim stroke ever! Every time he went by, a flood of water swooshed over my face (I'm doing the back stroke). No other swimmer has done that while sharing a lane. It was like he was slapping the water with his palm. I swam faster just to get done and get out of there!

| I totally slept in the morning and it was FANTASTIC! I decided to try the recumbent (sp?) bike tonight. My ankle was so sore after the spin classes a week ago - I guess the pressure of getting out of the saddle wasn't good for the ankle. I rode for 30 minutes and watched the news. I noticed the stair climber was open and thought I would try it for 10 minutes (or quit sooner if I felt any pain). I did it and no pain. Man that felt good - it gave me a ray of hope! I feel like I can get as good of a workout on the stairclimber as I do when I run. I finished up with 2 more miles on the bike. The strange thing about tonight's workout: 1. I was sweating (you don't do that in the pool) 2. I got to listen to music (definitely not in the pool) I'm going to try the stair climber again on Monday for 10 minutes again. Slowly build my way back up. Back to the pool tomorrow. | |

| I went to the rec center tonight to do a pool run. It was crazy busy as usual. This time (since I knew I was going to be there awhile), I wore a hat and put my I-pod under it. I TOTALLY looked like a dork, but I didn't care because I had tunes! I did a few intervals tonight just to see what it felt like in the pool (30 second rest in between each one): 0:30, 1:00, 1:30, 1:30, 3:30 - then swim team practice was over and they took the big clock away. I ran a total of 75 minutes. I wanted to do an hour and 20 minutes but had to pee so bad I was going to wet my pants - why does swimming make you need to pee?

38 laps - 27 minutes Today was an easy recovery swim - I would have NEVER thought that 30 minutes in the pool would be easy! I wore my 5-year old son's goggles and they were so much better than mine, Hooray for no more foggy lenses! THIS EVENING: I thought I would take my hubby's bike out for a ride. It was a beautiful night and a good ride! 5.74 miles - 33:47

| Swim - 96 laps (1.5 miles or 2400 M) - 1:17 (approx. 8 running miles)
Bike - 4.91 Miles - 27:09 (average heart rate 161 0 max 178) (approx, 3 running miles) I had a hard time focusing on the first half of the swim. It was the furthest I've swum. I kept thinking 20 laps done - 80 more to go - urghhh..... that is a long way! And my arms were very tired. But the last 40 laps or so were faster and stronger probably because I knew I was on the homeward stretch. I haven't really biked since my hubby took me to Moab shortly after we were married to "go on a little ride". When we got there, I see this "World Class Biking" sign. I rode his bike and the frame is too big for me. But I did have a good ride and I finally used my HRM. I am really tired and am going to take a nap. I had In - n - Out for lunch and did not feel the least big guilty today :)
