angelcubbie - hmmm i think you could maybe do it. i would try doing a long run this weekend (like 11 miles) and see how you fair first.

2009-01-20T12:32:00.000-05:00

My mantra is something I read in Runners World "Every day I run is a good day" I said it to myself this morning after totally wiping out in the middle of a run that at first I felt too tired to do and it definitely was true. Because whether I want to get out there & hit the pavement at first, by the end of it, every day I run is a good day.

Also, I was wondering if I can get your input. There's a half marathon on Feb. 8th coming up that I really want to run, however I thought it was in March & haven't been training for it. I do run an average of 20 miles a week, but it's been at least a month since I've ran over 7 miles. Do you think 3 weeks is too short of a time to up my mileage and train for the half or should I be ok since I run regularily anyway? Sorry for the long question, but I'd really appreciate your input!

Oatmeal looks yum!

I don't know if its a mantra but I always tell myself you can do anything for a minute (and the next minute I continue to tell myself this ;).

love the red and blue!! Thats funny cause my mantra in Highschool was is " Pain is Temporary, Pride is Forever" But now I guess it it, YOU OWN THIS!

2009-01-20T11:38:00.000-05:00

When I run on a track I count down the laps I have left, and when I get to the mark when I have 2 miles left I always say to myself "it's all down hill from here" and that gets me through

2009-01-20T11:30:00.000-05:00

I don't have a mantra, but I like yours about pain and quitting. I'll use that today at the gym!

2009-01-20T11:23:00.000-05:00

I was planning on red white and blue oatmeal as well!

My workout mantra is "I can do anything for "X" minutes!"' "X" is obviously however many minutes I have left, but if I just think of it in that contexts, its so true! I was in labor for 22 hours with Grace, so if I can do that, I can handle another 40 minutes of a long run!

2009-01-20T11:15:00.000-05:00

2009-01-20T11:13:00.000-05:00

When I feel like quitting, I tell myself "one more minute. anyone can do ANYTHING for a minute!" once that minute is over I'm usually back into it enough to keep on going, if not- I say "one more minute..." again!

Love the patriotic oatmeal!

2009-01-20T10:42:00.000-05:00

2009-01-20T10:19:00.000-05:00

I'm not sure if it is a mantra, but I'm a "just the next pole/street/corner" kind of girl. Then it becomes, "well, I did that, so just to the next pole/street/corner".

And my favorite: "This is NOT going to kill you!"

2009-01-20T10:13:00.000-05:00

LOVE the red, white and blue oats. Wish I'd thought to do that, too.

My mantra is from a Nike ad. I use it when I'm starting to talk myself out of exercising with the "I'm too busy" excuse: "Someone who is busier than you is running right now."

2009-01-20T09:33:00.000-05:00

No mantra really...but I always start out every run (no matter how long) saying to myself "you only have to do 2 miles." Usually by the end of mile one I'm starting to get into my groove, so then I just think repeatedly "WooHoo!" as I'm running! Finished 4 miles yesterday this way (I had only planned for 3). Silly, but it works! :)

2009-01-20T09:30:00.000-05:00

Often when I want to quit on runs I just give myself a streaming peptalk. No specific mantra. Just stuff like "Oh you've done this before. You'll be so proud of yourself when you're done." That sort of thing. Occasionally I actually say these things aloud without realizing it and get odd looks form my husband or those around me.
