Other runners, both in person and “virtual,” are the best runspirations! I blog about running to connect with them (and because my husband’s getting sick of my running chatter, but it has to come out somehow!), in between the races that keep me focused.

When I have a daunting hill to go up I turn the iPod to my trusty stand-by, Pump It (Black Eyed Peas). There is something about the rhythm of that song that gets the knees going and gets me up the hill every time.

I know it sounds crazy, but I try to get a kind of jump-rhythm and say to myself “punch, punch, punch” – and make some kind of forward motion with arms pumping – while going up the hill. It’s very GI Jane kind of mentally inspiring for some very bizarre reason. Something about gritting your teeth and leaning forward while saying “punch” with each stride. Lemme know what you think, Nellie!

Comment on The first hard run…. by hilarysirman

I was with you in spirit for a hard run this weekend, Nellie. I went out on Saturday and found it very humid…I was a bit overdressed and only managed to squeeze out 20 mins of running – but I swear they were the hardest 20 I’ve ever done. Why?! Hmm…not sure, but I do know that we will have “up” days and we will have “down” days so I guess it’s better to focus on the long-term. What doesn’t kill me today makes me stronger for tomorrow!! (or something like what Kanye West says would probably sound way better here…). I’m proud of you and proud of Jack for her 55 min! WHOO HOO!

Oooh… good one! That would be a great line for the players I coach too! A nice replacement for “suck it up princess”.

Yah! Right! It was 7 degrees (counting the windchill- and who doesn’t) here today!! A great run though- nice “Autumn” weather! Brrr….

I think it would be rude not to include Joe Fresh on the Gear section…hee hee…for those budget-challenged runners like myself who can’t afford the Lulu and RR gear for every article of running attire, JF is a lifesaver.

How do I add to the Gear and ipod sections, Jack?

This is FUN!

Jack and Nellie, you girls rock! I am seriously needed to get in the game with this blog. You know that texting is a challenge for me, but I’ll do my techno-best to contribute to this site.

Jackie, how do I add my kms to this site. And congrats on your latest race result. I am super-impressed…and need I say – RUNSPIRED.

Nellie, when are you coming home in December?? Can we do the Santa Shuffle together?
