Does anyone know of a decent website for running mantras? I need some more motivation!

Hi Lyn,

The Runner's World website might have some. From what I remember, the last issue that I read had an article about mantras and the importance of having a few (and changing them up!) to help keep you going.

Here are two I've been using lately:

*"Endurance"

*"She's going the distance" (I saw this one on someone's cross country t-shirt and it popped in my head while I was running the other day)

Hopefully someone else can help you with a specific website. I'll be interested to learn about it too!

Jaime

Hi There,

I am training for my first marathon (Nova Scotia, 7/27). I like to say things to myself like "almost there" ,m "you can do it" , "this is a great challenge" , "challenges make me stronger" etc. I say them outloud when I need to. I know it seems cheesy but they help me tremendously.

Good luck!
