15 Random Thoughts During My 15 Mile Run

Mile 1: Wow it sure is raining hard out here. It didn’t pour the whole time, but it never stopped raining.

Mile 2: Running is the best! I can do this forever! That thought came and went throughout the run.

Mile 3: What’s that twinge in my foot? Is that a real pain? Just a twinge.

Mile 4: That’s the spot where I started the Baltimore marathon!

Mile 5: Keep good form. Keep good form.

Mile 6: What am I going to make for dinner this week?

Mile 7: Stepped in a puddle. Ugh my foot is soaked. Totally unavoidable with all the rain we had gotten. I was lucky I made it to mile 7.

Mile 8: I really need to remember to take this Christmas song off my playlist.

Mile 9: What am I going to blog about this week? Here it is. My creativity is at an all time low.

Mile 10: Why did I suddenly get a headache? That’s weird. Went away after a few minutes.

Mile 11: How do these Christmas songs keep getting played?! I am totally over Christmas songs.

Mile 12: This weather sucks. I want to go back to Hawaii. One year ago this weekend we ran the Houston marathon and went to Hawaii for our Honeymoon.

Hawaii 203

Mile 13: OK half marathon distance covered. 2 more to go.

Mile 14: After this mile I will have run 50 miles this week!

Mile 15: There’s the spot where I fell and broke my finger! Don’t trip! I didn’t:)

Does anyone else get a headache when they are running in the cold? It has happen to me a few times over the past few weeks, and I was wondering if I’m not keeping my head warm enough, or if there is another reason this may be happening?

    love this…all my thoughts are so random when i run but also i tend to get random words/phrases stuck in my head for miles and miles! today it was a song…i’m a little embarrassed to say which one though…

      No need to be embarrassed! Most of the time I run without music and there is always a song stuck in my head during the entire run…and I usually have no idea where it came from!

    OK, this sounds crazy, but hear me out … I ALWAYS used to get headaches while running in the cold, and it turns out it was because I was scrunching my shoulders up towards my ears, and ended up aggravating a nerve in my upper shoulders/ neck. It took so many physical therapists to figure this out! So try to relax your shoulders and see if it might help you :). Congrats on the run!

      That is such a good point! I actually have noticed that my upper back and shoulders have been tight lately. I will definitely be making sure that they are more relaxed while I run. Thanks!!

You don’t know the life of a runnergirl, babe. J You don’t know the life of a runnergirl, babe. Just living that 3:30am alarm clock life and chugging gels like it’s my job. #longrun #marathontraining #lifeofashowgirl

19 miles! 7 on the treadmill, 12 outside, 1,272 to 19 miles! 7 on the treadmill, 12 outside, 1,272 total feet of elevation gain. Amazing weather. Listened to Life of a Showgirl on the treadmill and had some podcasts saved for my outside run but couldn’t get my headphones to connect. This was challenging by the end and I kept thinking how hard it would be if I needed to run another 7 miles today (and all miles at a faster pace) but this is why we train. Feeling like I’m in a good place with 6 weeks to go! How was your run today? #run #marathontraining #longrun
