Week 8 consisted of sitting throughout the day and more sitting and eating in the evening. Hardly any running was completed and I felt so guilty thinking about, possibly, not able to finish the half marathon which is due in a couple of weeks. So nerve wracking!
I was in Berkeley, CA for our organizations strategic planning for the year. So much clarity was happening yet, my running was a bit flurry. I love to run in the rain but I didn't seem to be able to get out on the street to run. I would look up Bancroft west to the Berkeley campus wondering if it was possible to put in a run. I'm not use to running on the streets in a city so I did feel a bit nervous and scared. Until, I realized, I needed to put in another long run before the half marathon showed up on my doorstep.
On Sunday, I donned the layers of clothing and headed out on Bancroft toward the campus.
Quite.
No vehicles.
Bus
A couple walkers
I had googled before hand to make sure I made it to the Fire Trail not realizing how many hills were involved. Which is a good thing, otherwise I wouldn't have made it out the door. The landscape was gorgeous and it being at sea level, I had enough oxygen to last me 10 miles throughout 2 hours. I was the only person out there until I saw feline paw tracks, fear rippled through me. They were fresh tracks and I lost focus. I began to focus on the outskirts of the tree line thinking I might get jumped so I picked up a couple of sticks, not sure how that would have helped me but I think it would have. :)
Until, finally, I ran into a couple of ladies walking. They instructed me to turn around if I wanted to get back to where I came from so I listened and as I admired the view again, I forgot where I was, just that it was an awesome day for a 10 miler!
Yes, I'm ready to complete the first half marathon in over 7 yrs!!

Piling on the mileage ...
I've been, mentally, preparing for it all week. 9 miles! Pile on the mileage!
This week was a very good week by sticking to the training plan, except my long runs had to be adjusted.
So, yesterday, I mapped out the route to complete the 9miles. There were 3 routes that I considered and I stuck to the one that was more secluded and I'm so happy that I did. I hadn't run this route since 2004 when I last trained for a half marathon. Wow! The many changes in landscape.
There is now an auto mall that sits on this route and a shopping mall.
As I passed the auto mall of Hondas, VW, Jeeps, Toyotas, I thought... hmmmmm.. wouldn't it be great to visit these places and see if any of the dealerships would showcase their energy efficient vehicles at our Green Awareness Days. That would be great education in itself and marketing for them as well.
My runs, I've noticed, have turned strategic planning on ways to educate our communities about sustainable, green living. People really just need to become aware of the many ways to live sustainably.
Then, my thoughts went wandered over to the City of Flagstaff electric bus. Wouldn't it be great to utilize that transportation by picking up people along the way to one of our events? We could provide snacks and such for the riders and they could donate some cash to our cause. Wow! I was on a roll!
But, my body was not acclimated yet. 2 miles into the run, I wanted to turn around. My shoulders were stiff and my posture was not right.
Come on Claudia
You can do it.
Don't think about the miles
Look around at the beautiful sunrise
You haven't experienced this in a long time
Isn't it nice?
Yes, solo running prepares me mentally on the challenges that I face on a daily basis. I always think, if I can train my mind and body to complete such a task, as 9miles?, what have I got to complain about. The wind is at my back now and I can feel the chilly air at the nape of my neck.
3 mile marker and this section of the route is downhill. As I come into a clearing, I see a herd of deer. Their heads pop up as they sense my arrival. I'm far away from them but they see me. They stand, staring, I'm sure wondering if I'm a hunter. Oh no, I'm just a crazy solo runner and I yell out.. Hello there deer! hahaha.. Am I already delusional and I'm only at 4 miles. The closer I get, they start turning toward the outline of the ponderosa pines. They trot into the woods and leave me all alone shuffling down the road and guess what! I"m at the 5 mile marker!
This is where I turn around and head back towards the same route I've come. O dear, the daunting task of uphills. I tear open a strawberry banana gu, slurp it down and wash it down with some gatorade! I hope my tummy remembers this stuff! By the 6 mile marker, the left knee begins to ache but I'm not thinking about it. I'm thinking of all the many community members that now approached me to hold one of the Green Awareness Days in their community.
I'm thrilled that people are becoming aware. Aware of the situations and issues relating to our environment.
I'm thinking a big juicy steak!
Some beer too! haha
Most importantly, a massage to work out the stiffness in my neck
The last 1/2 mile was an incline and I have never worked so hard to keep my legs moving. This is always the toughest part, knowing the end is near. I pushed to the stop light at Empire and Hwy 89 wondering if I can cross the street, if I stop... then, its still another 1/2 mile to my home.
It was an excellent day!
Water, Ice, bananas, oranges and hoping for a nice juicy steak later this afternoon!
Until next time, enjoy yourselves and think about doing some exercise, physically or mentally! It keeps us healthy.

unraveling the mindless into being mindful
The temperature...
It's chilly...
It's like 10 degrees! ..
5 miles
4 miles
3 miles
hit the snooze button..
This is how my training is thus far but I'm not giving up.
As I ran my usual loops at the Buffalo Park, I became mindful of my environment. Looking at the lightest brown roots of the plants as they seemed to shiver in the chilly air yet, the chirping birds in the ponderosa pines make things seem more like Spring is around the corner!
Oh, how I can't wait for spring but quickly I'm reminded again of why the ground is frozen right now as I listen to the crunch of the snow under the soles of rubber that has carried me for miles now. I go back to when I was having a conversation with my mother about what that crunching under my shoes mean .... Yas nil tees .. she was describing it to me as the crunchiness of winter but I thought of it as ..'Snap, Krackle, Pop' the slogan for the rice krispies cereal. I smile thinking how quickly my mind shifts back to this generation of convenience.
In the distance, Doko'oo'sliid, the sacred San Franciso Peaks loom beautifully and I think of our beloved people that have been working against snow making with reclaimed water to bring economic development to this border town. I don't understand why, even our own Dine' people don't stand up to this desecration of our sacred sites. I send prayers and positive thoughts to the Save the Peaks Coalition for always speaking out and that I stand with them as well, in spirit and prayer if not in person.
I have learned with this challenge of winter training what it means to fully commit to a plan. Honestly, I have yet to fully commit because of my lack of confidence in fending off the cold and letting the warmth of my home be my security.
I've made that first step of unraveling the mindless into being mindful...
Commit to a plan!
9 miler, here I come this weekend! Be ready! :)

Longest run yet...
Well, the training plan called for a 6 mile long run yesterday but I decided to do the longest run ever in 7 years today, Sunday, December 18.
I kept looking at the weather updates online throughout the night and wondering if I'll be able to lace up my running shoes and hit the pavement. I know there were many thoughts going through my mind:
I kept looking at the weather updates online throughout the night and wondering if I'll be able to lace up my running shoes and hit the pavement. I know there were many thoughts going through my mind:
- Why in the world did I decide to run a half marathon?
- I'm crazy to be running in this weather?
- Am I trying to prove something?
- I'll probably jsut go to the gym tomorrow
- Why am I doing this again?
Finally, I picked a book from a stack next to my bed and waalaah, "The Places That Scare You" by Pema Chodron, opened to the page I left off ....
"Through the process of practicing the mindfulness-awareness technique on a regular basis we can no longer hide from ourselves. We clearly see the barriers we set up to shield us from naked experience. Although we still associate the walls we've erected with safety and comfort, we also begin to feel them as a restriction. This claustrophobic situation is important for a warrior. It makes the beginning of longing for an alternative to our small, familiar world. We begin to look for ventilation. We want to dissolve the barriers between ourselves and others."
The question was, "Who am I without these thoughts?"
So with a clearer mind and forgetting the places the scare me, I fell asleep. To wake up to light snow. My mind went back to those scary places that I realized were just pure silly thoughts... ice. snow. cold. cars. fumes. people. These are all wonderful things in our environment, except for maybe cars and fumes.. haha
So the next question I asked was, 6 miles on the dreadmill or take it outside. My good brother, Hank, reminded me of the amount of electricity I would use if I went to the gym. Good Job Hank!! I have to walk the talk! Conserve, conserve, conserve.
I laced up the running shoes, layered my clothing, grabbed my beanie and gloves and headed out. It was such a wonderful feeling knowing that the snow, the ice, the cold was a renewal process for our environment. The runoff from the peaks will break bountiful harvest to our farms. The places that scare me became the places I love. With that in mind, I ran, slowly, 3 miles out and 3 miles back. My thoughts were much clearer about what convenience in our society means. How its changed our world, our children's world, yet not realizing that we have created a world that our children will need to fix one day. We are on the movement to help change this convenience, bringing our children back to the land back to the soil back to what adaptation really means. I"m hopeful and excited to be on this path that is scary but we know that the barriers are walls that can come down with communication amongst everyone.
The question remains, if I ran 6 miles on a treadmill, how much electricity would I have burned? how much coal would be used for this convenience? How much rubber trees torn down to make the rubber belt that goes around and around while we run in place on this machine? We say we do it for our health but really how much more of an impact has it had on someone else's environment?
So much to think about when running! Yet so much free space to just be, also!
Until next time,

The fear of...
This morning, I awoke to silence... then the sputter of the heater and I was wrapped like a burrito in my bed. The warmth of my down comforter, because I do not want the heater to run all night, due to the high price of natural gas, yet, not really knowing the price, just that its very high. Not only that, but the electricity. How much coal is being mined for my heater to go off, my night sensor to go off, my cell phone to be recharged at night, and for my kid to play her radio all night long? How much longer do I stay snuggled in my bed?
I remembered the days, my father would stand over us with a cup of water to get us out of bed and to run outside in the cold without our shoes? This is considered abuse today but those days we were made to be tough, disciplined and to know that the day doesn't wait for us.
My uncle once said, "water is life! that is why your father dumped a cup of water on you when you were lazy to get out of bed." Oh, how true it all sounds today as I am older with two children that sleep until noon sometimes.
So, I jumped out of bed, washed my face and dressed in layers as I checked the temps outside, a cool 20 degrees! I have never trained for a race in the winter months, I hibernated until March so again, this challenge is a lesson on discipline and my own fears of winter running.
As I walked outside, I noticed my body hasn't caught up to my training yet. My age is my excuse but I have to get into a new state of mind. So, I took deep breaths and visualized my run and forgot about how far behind my body was. I learned to meditate while I lived in Santa Fe for one year, it was the best running year of my life. Focusing on my breaths, then my legs, arms, stomach, back, shoulders and head, they are aligned and off I go.
My running route is right outside my home, today was a long run of 6 miles according to my training plan, but due to limited running this week, I decided to put in 3 miles and do the 6 miles tomorrow. The route is there and back, 1.5miles.. the trail is downhill and the thought of running uphill on the way back begin to bother me. But, I change focus, started thinking about how to engage the faith based groups into our Green movement. I was thinking, no matter, what beliefs we have, we all honor the creation of our Mother Earth. Why then do I feel there is a divide? I wonder how others feel about this topic. All is that all religion have the same basic understanding of taking care of our environment otherwise, we have much to be judged by. Will my grandkids and their grandkids have the same opportunity in being able to live on the land or will it be desecrated even more for our greediness of selling our natural resources?
While thinking this, I was already at the turning point of my run and I begin to feel that knot in my tummy, knowing I'll be running uphill against a headwind. Quickly changing focus, this was a challenge to overcome.. I started chanting, the wind is my friend, the hills are my friends and I'm going to do this. I passed a couple people walking, with quick steps, probably to keep warm, and to make it to the bus stop on time, assuming they were headed for work somewhere. The chilly breeze on my face working its way under my knitted cap was quickly freezing up the tiny amount of confidence I had.. I turned into meditation mode again.. focus on the breath, focus on the breath, from the toes, to the knees, to the hips, to the tummy, arms and back and back to the head. I noticed I was smiling, YES, I was enjoying it.
I made it home, in time to head out to a meeting with the North Leupp Family Farm. My home away from home, the place that makes me feel so much closer to Mother Earth. The food that sustains me all year and I look forward to planting season. The ups and downs of farming but its the place where our hearts belong. The place our ancestors planted that seed of sustainability. The place that teaches us we don't need to depend on fast food. The place that can bring our young and old together to learn from each other. I can't wait!
The money raised will help in establishing some farmers markets and helping to create local jobs for our children. This is my intention of running of this half marathon, for the children and their children.
Thank you for your support!

Week 1
Well, 11 days have passed with some very good moisture of snow that hit the running spots and I resorted to running on the dreaded treadmill or running in circles where 15 laps = 1 mile.. This is the challenge of winter running.
I dreadmilled one day for 2 miles and it was the most painful of running that I have done in a long time. My hip flexors were in pain and my feet tend to get numb after 2 miles. My kid, Amber, became my gym buddy as she showed me different exercises to strengthen my arms, back and tummy. She kept telling me the exercise machines are not good for me, they will injure me more than free weights! O, how they grow up fast!! But I love her company!
Here is my training plan!!
As I ran, I thought of my goals for educating our communities in practicing sustainably. I continue to teach myself to walk the talk especially when I go to the grocery store and I forget my "Green" shopping bags. And they don't have paper bags! I make the bagger bag as much as they can in one plastic bag so I don't come out with too many plastic bags.
How much of our communities understand what it takes to make one plastic bag? how much oil is used? how much water is used? to produce this product that has become a sore eye on our landscape!

In the beginning ....
Once upon a time, there was this little tiny person sitting on my left shoulder whispering, "run claudia run," while swinging a notched belt of all the previous races I've ran. I sat in my closet digging through the box containing race bibs with my times written on them and photos galore of runchatter friends that I've met at some of these races.
Wow! I thought! an inkling of inspiration brought a smile to my face. I "think" I can still do it.
Reality hits! That sinking feeling of almost dispare. Its been 7 years since I've run anything more than 4 miles. My motivation has no fire but I go back to the website for the Sedona Marathon. I did this for 3 days trying to figure out whether I should do it. And why I wanted to do it.
The biggest reason for my taking the plunge was the little person on my left shoulder beginning to sing "Ti' (Yeego) Green, Ti' Yeego Green." In Navajo, Go strongly Green.
This is the beginning of training for the Sedona Half Marathon ... I did start a training plan, a light running plan that will get me to past the finish line. My best times have been under 2 hrs, however, for this race, I expect a little over 2 hrs. I do plan to finish strong.
In my future blogs, I'll talk more about our green plan and my running plan, how they both interrelate and believe me, they do. I'm out of breath now. Later..
