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

I felt really good during the 4 mile MP tempo and the 1st mile of the 2 mile HM tempo. Then I hit the pain cave during the mile 2 of the 2 mile tempo and the 1 mile 10ktempo.
The gym was SUPER hot and sweaty. Ready for a nap.

| It’s been awhile since I’ve run outside....felt rusty. Quads a bit heavy. Hamstring pulling a little.
Hmmmm....I was hitting the paces you prescribed (6:34, 6:33,3:27, 3:24, 1:57), but I feel like I should be faster. These paces didn’t come easy...definitely in puke zone. I was hitting these paces in October (6:34, 6:31, 3:25, 3:25, 1:59). I’ve done way more speedwork since October.
Feeling discouraged:/
I want to do this workout next Monday. Maybe redemption!

| It was a blizzard outside, so I headed to the gym to run on the TM. 16 miles at comfortable pace. 3 mile tempo @ 8:10-8:20.
6-58:16 (9:42)
6-58:03 (9:40)
4 mile-38:24 (9:36)
3 mile tempo-25:06 (8:22) -- I was miffed at this time because I put the TM speed at 7.2 mph (8:20) and kept increasing the speed. Oh well. A friend stopped by when I had 2 miles left and chatted. She was the best distraction!

Super nervous about this workout. I ended up running in the evening. Maybe that worked out for the best because the sunshine felt amazing.
I was almost to my mile1 tempo split..yikes...too fast...I slowed down to a jog so I wasn't sub8 on mile 1. Same with mile 2. Oh man too fast.
I devided to go hard for mile 3 and see what I could do. I felt great!
I wasn't sure how the 4x90 secons would turn out. Prettary darn good!
I'm feelin super stoked about this workout. I really needed a good one!

| Down AF Canyon—MCT—AF Half Course
3 mile warm up-14 mile tempo @ 9-9:10 (but last simulation run was 8:45 overall and 8:35 for 11 mile tempo).
TT: 2:36:51 AP: 8:43
That was hard 😩 Too many stops today which frustrates me.
It was 11 degrees at the top of the canyon.....freezing cold. Ran with Karen and was really glad she was there. Mile 3 was up the canyon.
I struggled mentally at mile 16/17. I stopped and took some more fuel/salt pills/Advil and then rallied on. I think part of the meltdown was I was done with the tempo at this point in the run during the last canyon run but still had 2 miles left today.
Overall pace was good, but I need to be more consistent with my pacing.....hold back more.
I’m not sure what is up with the mile 14 split. I’m pretty sure I didn’t run a 6:56 mile...or if I did, maybe that is why I blew up at mile 16.
My brain is tired. If I think of anything else, I’ll send it later.

Hmmmm....this didn’t go so well. I felt like I was coming down with a cold all week. Lots of water and LOTS of sleep.
Pre run: bagel.
I met Karen and Leslie and warmed up with them for 3 miles. I felt like I was working hard during the warmup. Left the ladies.
Ran the first 3k. It was a little too hard, but got through it.
Took a gel right before #2. Not quite as hard.
Started #3. Started seeing stars 1 mile into it. I stopped for 10-15 seconds and took a drink. I still didn’t feel right. I just ran and didn’t even look at my watch. My heart was beating so fast.
Started to cool down. Still breathing SO hard and heart beating so fast. Almost felt dizzy. I missed the turn to get back to my car and then freaked out because I was 2-3 miles from my car. I knew I didn’t have enough in me to get to back to it. Thankfully, my husband was leaving for lunch and I was by his office. He kept saying, “you don’t look very good. You REALLY don’t look very good.”
So I’m not sure if it was a nutrition bonk, but that last 3k/cooldown was crazy.

Thoughts:
1. Hurricane wind-hot sun-wind-blizzard -sun
2. To the idiot guy on the Murdock Canal Trail....put your dog on a lease. I’m sorry I yelled at you, but when your dog comes after me, I react.
