Marathon Trainin: 16 miles turns into 13 miles in 97 degrees

Clearwater Bridge
Sand Key Bridge
I went down to Clearwater with full intentions of running 16 miles. It's a great place to run, there are two great bridges that have pedestrian walk ways.  So the plan was-  run 8 miles down Gulfview drive over two bridges - cut over to the beach and run the 8 miles back, passing my truck at mile 13 to get more water and run one more bridge, however.....I should have started sooner because as soon as the sun came up so did the temperature - My 16 miler turned into a 13 miler when I hit my truck and actually realized it was 97 degrees outside - I jumped into the gulf to cool down, quickly drank two bottles of water and sat and stretched in the shade, I was overheated and my run was over for the day.
However, I can always find the silver lining to any dark cloud - I may not have finished my planned run but i did run a 1/2 Marathon in 97 degree heat in 2 hours and 20 minutes. Burned 1200 calories and sweated off at least 15lbs of water

Next week I will get up at 3:00 AM to start running - with a headlamp.

A different type of perseverence.

You will meet challenges and adversities in your life that seem to hard to bare.

The person who pushes forward and keeps going once the effort gets painful is the person who will achieve true happiness.

You ran 26.2 miles, 16 miles of that Marathon on a hurt knee.

You can do this.

Once it gets painful

Once it gets painful

I love this!

I love this!

Live and Learn

Place it in God's hands, whatever happens is what was meant to happen. Trust that.

Every day you have a choice. Use your words and actions to tear someone down or build someone up. What will you choose?

A lie is a lie, A big lie or a tiny little white lie, to someone else, somewhere, it is a huge lie. From this point forward don't be part of anyone's big or little lies.

Start everyday with a Cooper Smile and your life will be fantabulous. Anything else in life is just a bonus.

There is absolutely nothing more important than family. Everything else will, without a doubt, fade away in time. Family never fades.

Learn from your mistakes, Ask for forgiveness for your mistakes, Never make that same mistake again, Be thankful that Forgiveness comes in the least expected places.

When your given a second chance, take it and treasure it.

Surround yourself with people that celebrate you, not tolerate you.

Make all your decisions based on what you believe is right, what you really feel in your heart.
Stand up for yourself, Always stand up for your family

Place everything and everyone in your life on a list from -10 to +10. (very bad to the very best) Let go of everything that isn't on the positive side!

Tell the person you love the most, I love you, all the time, but always remember to make it the last thing said before you go to sleep

Some people enter your life as blessings, some people enter as lessons. Know the difference

Be Brave, just get it done. It will all work out in the end.

Make sure your actions and your words portray the person that Cooper is proud to call "His Mommy".

Come what may and love it!

Learn to Laugh at Adversity, Things that trouble you won't seem so troubling if you Learn to Laugh, and the Memories will be sweeter.

Be thankful for everything God has given you.

Be patient, but remember patience does not mean sitting around waiting for something to happen, patience requires actively working toward a worthwhile goal all the while not getting discouraged if results do not some swiftly.
