I am trying to conserve every ounce of energy before tomorrow so therefore I cannot type because that obviously takes a lot of glycogen so I thought I would do a little video instead!
—————————————————————–
Make sure to go wish SARA a very happy birthday!!!
—————————————————————-
Have the most amazing Friday night and know that I will be stalking your from my iphone (I can’t comment but I will be commenting out loud to Billy) on the car ride down.
Thank you so much for all of your support and love, I will be thinking about you as I run.
The cutest Kim sent me this quote and it gave me goosebumps…..
“Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months, and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character.” -T. Alan Armstrong
Keep up your training and never give up…….YOU GUYS ARE CHAMPIONS!!!!!
—————————————————————–
What is your favorite running Mantra…..I will be using these tomorrow!!!
-This is supposed to hurt. Pain is weakness leaving the body.
What are you doing on your Friday night?
-Driving down to St. George with friends and stopping for spaghetti somewhere along the way.
Favorite Car Ride Snack.
-Not gonna lie I am pretty excited for my Fizzl’d Fruit Skittles. I guess I will eat large amounts of peanut butter and bananas on the car ride down too:)

My favorite running mantra is from the movie Roadhouse: PAIN DON'T HURT.
Okay, not really. It's "just keep running."
Tonight I'm having dinner with my brother and his wife. It's sure to be hilarious.
Favorite car snack: diet coke and corn nuts.
Angie

When I got tired in my swim events (I am a long time swimmer and newbie runner), I would tell myself, "What are you saving it up for? The car ride home? Give it all you have now!"
Good luck! Remember that the body is a LOT stronger than the mind gives it credit for!!!

I like this quote~
"Mind is everything. Muscle – pieces of rubber. All that I am, I am because of my mind"
And I sing Good Charlotte in my head,
"Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
don't wanna ever stop" :D ahaha sometimes I add my own line to it, Don't wanna stop, till I reach the top!"

XLMIC
When I'm "in it" during a race or speed workout, I remind myself "quick and light" and "just step it off". Those seem to help me stay focused on what I need to be doing. I prefer to avoid all references to pain :) lol
You are going to bring this race to its knees, Janae! Run your strong game! It's YOURS!
ashley & sundance
GOOD LUCK!!! eat lots of yummy pasta and drink lots of h2O! I am so excited for you! You are gonna ROCK!!

Have a great time on your race! You will do wonderful. Those fizzy skittles are addicting. I usually never eat skittles, but those are way too much like sour patch kids. Keep them away from me.
Will be thinking of you and cheering you on from Iowa.
Just keep saying "I know I can do this! I am awesome!"

My favorite running mantra, "I don't run a race to see who wins, I run to see who has the most guts." ~ Steve Prefontaine.
You are gonna kick some major trash at your race, Janae!!! Remember why you love to run and smile the whole way, in pain or not. Keep on keepin' on, especially when the competition looks tired and worn. You've worked your cute self to a well-deserved wonderful performance, no worries. NO REGRETS! Take no prisoners!
Favorite road trip food = original corn nuts + red licorice and water.
This weekend I'm riding my bike (inside :() too many hours to list, going to church, running and swimming, watching a swim meet and going to a baby shower for some of my besties :).
I'm sending you sweet and speedy thoughts!
Siobhan @sio 'n the run
Love the video!
I don't even have a running mantra! It's so hard for me to pick one. So, I turn to my music to push me through.
Have an amazing race you speedy rockstar!
Regina
Good luck girl! You'll do awesome!
Small Town Runner
Best wishes to you, Janae! Race smart :)
Runeatrepeat
My favorite running mantra is, "and You will tell them Yes!" – it's the last line of my favorite old Nike running ad.
It's kinda long, the whole thing is here if you wanna see it…

Sara@foodgarbl
You are the sweetest ever and you will dominate tomorrow! If you ever struggle just know we're all right behind you cheering you on. It might look like stalking but really it's cheering. Thank you again!
Melissa

Maria
Good luck!
I like this one (not sure if I am quite right)- pain is temporary, achievement lasts a lifetime.
:)
~Jessica~
We appear to have the same mantra. Another of mine is 'pain is just an emotion.'
Popcorn (sweet/salty mix) is my favourite road snack. No bag (or bags, plural) is safe from me.
Good luck with your race: you'll be fantastic as always.

You have the be the cutest thing in the whole world and have the perfect personality to be a teacher! I would have absolutely loved having you as a teacher and I am literally jealous of your students! That is an amazing quote that I've never heard before, I will be channeling your amazing spirit during my half marathon on Sunday! My favorite car ride snack is…I don't really know. I've actually tried to stop eating snacking in the car and stop for a real meal, we always love stopping at Cracker Barrel! If you've never been you'd love it because they have a general store which has copious amounts of your favorite, CANDY!
Alyssa
You can do it! Love the video. My mantra is "Run strong, you have power". It works for me. Have a great trip down and I know you'll be super speedy during the race!
5 Miles 2 Empty
