Thoughts Running To Pink



Where there is desire

There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame

Someone's bound to get burned

But just because it burns

Doesn't mean you're gonna die

You've gotta get up and try try try

Gotta get up and tri, tri tri. 

You gotta get up and tri, tri tri.  [I added the tri]
-Pink
 

This is such a great song to run to especially when you are a triathlete / endurance athlete.


When I listen to this song I think about all my demons and we endurance athletes have our demons and we think about them all the hours we are alone with our thoughts running, biking, swimming.





What are our demons: finishing times, finishing workouts, the past, the future, guilt, relationships, spending too much money on our sport.


Thoughts on a Thursday morning, five weeks from The Triple T.

Top 10 Ways to Fall in Love With Running, again



  1. Sign up for a race with friends that is longer than you think you can do
  2. Buy a foam roller and roll before & after every run
  3. Schedule a massage every time you run three times a week for a month
  4. Read every blog and website you can find about running & trail running
  5. Buy a bunch of magazines & books about running & trail running
  6. Live in a place where you can run year round
  7. Record your time for every race so you can chart your progress using Excel Charts
  8. Post every training run and race on Facebook & Twitter
  9. Use Map My Run on your smart phone so you can see mileage/pace, etc
  10. Make an "after run plan", especially after a long run, or dream about it while you run, for a way to relax & what you will eat/drink after your done. I like to lay on the sofa and watch TV Shows on DVD as a recovery activity and eat sushi or steak.
