My competition in training or a race is not all the other runners - my competition is that little voice in my head that tells me I should quit.
For truly I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. Matthew 17:20 NRSV

Random running thoughts

  • When the alarm goes off at 5:30 to go on my run, I need to jump up...any second of "thinking" about it results in hitting the snooze button.
  • Once I am up and outside on a gorgeous day, I realize what I would have missed out on....the river in the morning, the ducks and the babies of course, the crisp morning air, the sun rising ever so slowly. Such beautiful scenery where I live. And, the sweet smell of the Nestle Plant, especially today with the smell of cappuccino.
  • I feel better more energized for the day when I get my run in early in the morning. I accomplish more throughout the day. I am not left thinking about when I will fit it in and dreading it.
  • I can't control a lot of things in life, but I can control this running and weight loss, I KNOW what needs to be done, if I would "just do it"!
  • I am a by myself kind of running gal, it doesn't bother me, but I have learned that I enjoy some company now and again...I need it.
  • It's ok to take a nap.
  • I need a pair of "real" running shorts, and a sweat band.
  • I can't run without my ipod.
  • Ibuprofen is part of my diet
