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 got my first sinus infection of the season and I ended up leaving church early because I felt so miserable. And an added bonus is that my 6 year old was up crying because her ears hurt. Good morning Monday.

Thankfully, it is a rest week. I was planning on biking and lifting weights, but I may opt to lay on the couch and watch cooking shows.

I just completed 6 weeks of running 30 miles/ week. I've never run that far for that long. I'm still a rookie runner and I'm pleased that I was able to do it. My goal is to get to 40 miles/week and then start training for Ogden. I need a few miracles :) I just ope my ankles can hang on.

I met Kellie under the lamp post this morning. Collette is still quite sore from the marathon on Saturday. Hopefully , she can join us next week. We did the canal this morning and it was definitely chilly out. We always hit pockets of canyon wind.....brrrrr! Lots of hacking and snot rockets. Hopefully by Monday, I'll be back to my old self!

This rest week has gone by way too quick!
