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

| No run today. Sinus infection is underway. Head pressure, body aches, sore throat, fever. Shins are totally on fire. Hip feels good though. Unplanned rest day :(

| 4.5 TM Miles 41:12 I am really SICK of running injuries. I feel like every day something else is starting to hurt. What in the HECK am I doing wrong!!!!
Started slow to see how shin would feel. Right shin (right smack dab in the middle of the shin) has been really aching the past week or so (probably longer than that...but I just passed it off as shin splints). My hip has felt really great after Saturday's run. Shin felt fine during the run, but have been aching all day even with ice. Just the thought of a "wipe out" injury makes me go into a deep dark depression. At the risk of being a hypocrondiac, I made an appointment for Thursday to see my sports medicine doctor. I'm sure they laugh at how crazy I am once I leave. 3x 10xsquats 60 front planks 10 adductor 10 abductor stretching and foam rolling

| 3 miles on the stair climber 2.5 miles on TM Shin was bugging all last night. Felt ok on the run/stairs. I went to PT this morning and he made an interesting observation. I am a suppunator - most of my weight, I carry on the outside of my foot. Even when I am just walking or standing (when I balance on 1 foot, I immediately move to the outside of my foot to find my balance). He made the comment that I need to use more of the inside of my foot. "That is why God my the first metatarsal the biggest and you are using the smallest metatarsal". When he had me do some hip exercises, I started sweating immediately and got fatigued fast. Hence, they are very weak. Duh..... But I was pleased that I worked with him and not an aide. They kept saying how flexible I am which is weird - I keep thinking I need to do more yoga. I just hope to keep taking steps forward....not backwards. Stretch and foam roll

| Designated rest day. I wore my PT tap on the shins all night and wore compression socks all day. Is it normal to have one spot on the shin that hurts more? I get so frustrated when I take 3 steps forward and end of taking 2 steps back. I have such a LOVE/HATE relationship with this sport.

| So I watched some awesome Coach Jay Johnson videos last night on general strength training for runners. GREAT STUFF!!!!! So I got a few minutes early, so I would have enough time to get them done today. 3x
10 on each leg x Lunge matrix 10 lateral leg raises (straight foot, pointed foot in, pointed foot up) balancing stuff from PT I only got one set of planks in before I ran out of time. The stuff above took me 30 minutes. 4 mile run on TM. 34:27 I did my up 12 mph, down 10 mph. I started at 6.4 mph for the first .75 miles, then up to 7.6 for the last .25 mile. Then down to 6.6 mph for .75 miles, then up to 7.8, etc, etc I felt super good. Controlled breathing. I could feel my shins, but they were better than they have been (I wore my compression socks). I still trying to figure out how to run on more on the inner part of my foot rather than the outer part. I went to PT and had another sweat fest. 1 hour of various hip exercises. Looking for new couches today. Home decorating totally stresses me out - it is NOT one of my strengths :)

1:51 AP:9:07 9:13, 9:46 (BIG HILL), 9:34 (BIG HILL), 9:04, 9:18, 9:20, 8:31, 9:00, 9:24 (BIG HILL), 8:37, 8:36, 8:02, 9:13 Pioneer house to Farmhill Road to Mcdonalds up to Highland This was my first run outside (other than my SG Half) since Oct/Nov. Ughhhh.... Too long to do alone! I dressed just right today and it was perfect weather. I really struggled the first 6 miles. Lots of 1-mile hills to climb. I always struggle mentally the first half! FINALLY got to my turn around point, took a gu and water and saw a group of runners coming out of a side street. I tried to catch them - just about did (hence the 8:31 split), but then they turned and I had to go straight. Ughhhhh... The way back wasn't as hilly, but I was getting tired of running and wanted to get home. I put these inserts in my shoes that the PT gave me and they made my knees and ankle tendons bug. I did 2 sets of Glute exercises yesterday and my buns were on fire. Got home and my hiney was so tight that I decided to take a warm shower, eat something - then stretch. The inside of my knees are still achy. My shins are just a tiny bit creaky - so I'm feeling good about that. Hip feels great. SO tired...hope to go to bed EARLY! I need a buddy for next week :)
