FINAL QUOTES OF THE WEEK!

Here are some food for thought this week--Yes! The final week of all this craziness!

Motivation gives the first push, but you need persistence and self discipline to get to the finish line.

"Good things come slow - especially in distance running." - Bill Dellinger, Oregon coach

“If you set a goal for yourself and are able to achieve it, you have won your race. Your goal can be to come in first, to improve your performance, or just finish the race. It's up to you.”
-Dave Scott

“The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.”
-Vince Lombardi

"The only reason I would take up jogging is so that I could hear heavy breathing again."
- Erma Bombeck

"If you start to feel good during an ultra, don't worry, you will get over it." - Gene Thibeault

“Pressure is nothing more than the shadow of great opportunity." - Michael Johnson

"I always loved running...it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs."
- Jesse Owens

"Top results are reached only through pain. But eventually you like this pain. You'll find the more difficulties you have on the way, the more you will enjoy your success."
- Juha "the Curel Vaatainen

I tell our runners to divide the race into thirds. Run the first part with your head, the middle part with your personality, and the last part with your heart." - Mike Fanelli, club coach

Seriously......

So I went running yesterday, I knew something felt off. So I realized my back was out of place ( it has been slipping in and out for the past few weeks). Well here is the problem with that I was able to run like 5 minutes and then my legs and feet when completely numb to where it made it hard to walk. Seriously I walked the rest of the way which was almost my whole run. It was very frusturating I was so uncomfortable and in so much pain. So then I got home thought well at least I walked it, started to not feel so good. Last night I got the worst sore throat I think I have ever had and woke up feeling like absolute poo. Lets just say I am very frusturated and hope I don't have strep throat. I am so afraid I am going to dissapoint next weekend especially if my back goes out I can't run. I am going to get it adjusted as much as I can before. As for running I can barely make it down the hall I feel so awful. Please pray for me hahaha I am so serious I need to be running right now not walking and not being sick. So discouraged!!!!!!!

Ladies, I've Broken my toe!

Holy crap!

I think the summer just hates me. so, this would be the fourth summer in a row that i have had some injury requiring bedrest. I have broken my big toe! yep, two weeks before our race. We were at the houseboat this week, as i was putting a bucket back down below the front, one of those big metal doors fell on my big toe....it was not a pleasant experience. i do have a replacement if you guys would like, or if you all have any runners you would rather put in my place, be my guest, i am leg 6, i hope they don't mind running up east canyon....
