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

Good morning Monday run...same as always. Except, I was really excited I only had one bathroom landmark this morning instead of a gazillion. It went by fast. Lots of people out today. And I finally wore gloves and my hands didn't freeze :)
I got a massage and she worked on my calves good. I need to get more weight lifting in this week. I hardly did any last week.
Most exciting part of my day - I went to the nursery and picked up all my spring veggies to plant. They will all soak tonight and be put in the ground tomorrow. I LOVE working in my big garden!

99% of the time when I choose to sleep in and run later, I regret it. There is a REASON why I need to run early...I have things to do during the day!!!! But I was able to get everything done.
It was hot today (compared to dark o'clock in the morning). I had on shorts and a t-shirt and was sweating a lot. Ughhhh....I don't do well in the heat.
Ho-hum run...nothing fast or fancy!

I had no pep this morning and it seemed like the perfect day to keep everything slow. I've done a lot of faster miles this week and last week. Everything felt very creaky and I'm excited for my rest day tomorrow. Got my calves worked on.
Quick stretch and foam roll.
Here's a little thing I wrote for our family blog:
The Journey
Awhile ago, I painted a pretty picture in my head. It was of my journey to qualify for the Boston Marathon. It was like one of those sports movies with music that played at just the right parts and the underdog always won.
But the actual movie has been nothing like my make-believe movie. My actual movie has played out like this:
On a Friday,I ran 18 miles alone and finished by 6:30am. Which means I started and ended when it was dark. Then on the following Monday, I ran 11 miles....in the dark. BUT 10 months ago, running this kind of mileage wasn't even imaginable. Or being mentally tough enough to run it alone.
I haven't been doing speed work on the track. The thought of doing intervals makes me want to vomit. It gives me anxiety. And It is hard. BUT I'm running almost 45 seconds per mile (in training) faster than I did 10 months ago. And I can still get to puke zone doing it.
My body is full of niggles right now. Training aches and pains. The hypochondriac in me is going crazy. BUT they are not full blown injuries and I can still train.
I had a goal of getting to a certain body fat percentage by race day. I can't get there if I really like sugar cookies. The demons laugh at my self mastery. BUT I'm getting closer to that number, albeit slowly.
I feel like my journey is in a constant state of change. I'm changing. I've come a long ways in the 10 months I have been training. Though I haven't conquered all my demons, I'm getting closer. I've conquered other things along the way which has made me a more disciplined runner. There are things that I once thought impossible or hard that I can handle semi-gracefully.
The journey that I thought I was going to experience is nothing like the journey I'm on.
Silken Laumann, an Canadian Olympian, said, "It's important to know that at the end of the day it's not the medals you remember. What you remember is the process--what you learn about yourself by challenging yourself, the experiences you share with other people, the honesty the training demands--those are the things nobody can take away from you whether you finish twelfth or you're an Olympic Champion".
I'll find out how this movie plays out in 8 weeks.

| TT: 2:57:06 AP: 8:51 JRP 9:01, 8:48, 8:49, 9:13, 9:06, 8:47, 8:43, 8:47, 8:55, 8:49, 8:46, 8:52, 8:55, 8:57, 8:56, 8:35, 8:58, 8:51, 8:43, 8:21 Whew...glad that run is over! I met Karen at the JRP and it was so good to catch up with her. She was really worried about the pace....I went slower and she sped up. It worked out. We headed north first and did all the hills first. We refilled at the parking lot and headed south. Thankfully, the bathrooms were open at Willow Park and we could fill up our bottles. I really appreciate her conversation today. My legs didn't feel fresh from the start. This has been the most mileage I've ever run in a week so that probably contributed to the lead legs. They really started to get tired with 3-4 miles to go. I left Karen to speed up for the last mile. I think it is interesting that I run much faster alone. Maybe I just want to get it done?? I have a rest week next week and am going to take full advantage of it. I have a lot of niggles right now and need to let everything calm down. |
