The morning was crisp and cool. The American River Parkway teemed with trotting, walking, jogging, running,\u00a0and pedaling. I had a pretty good pace, but I made too many stops taking in nature, the animals, the river, and foraging for blackberries as the perfect energy snack.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_219\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-219\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-219 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/BakcberriesTrail_July18-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Eating blackberries on one of my stops\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/BakcberriesTrail_July18-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/BakcberriesTrail_July18.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-219\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eating blackberries on one of my stops<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_218\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-218\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-218 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Deer_July18-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"I stopped first to catch my breath and then I saw the deer.

Perfect stop!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Around mile 10, an idea came into my head. I&#8217;m sure you all have experienced increased creativity on your runs and all kind of ideas buzzing around. I wondered if I should take advantage of this week with light work and decent weather conditions and try to run 100 miles and\u00a0train like the elite runners \u00a0(I am pretty far off from them, but can try to imitate their good habits once in a while). It was possible if I could get a second run in that evening. I could already tell that elation got stuck to my running shoes like a waddle of chewing gum.<\/p>\n<p>That evening, I went on a 6-mile trail run at my favorite park Ancil Hoffman.\u00a0 After running a tough 14 miler that morning, I doubted I could do another decent 6-mile run, but I did it. I even came up with my own quote about doubting and pushing ourselves for more: <span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>&#8220;When you doubt you can do something, just do it anyway. You&#8217;ll be glad you did.&#8221;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Tuesday Run<\/h2>\n<p>I woke up at 6:30 to get in a 5-mile run before my doubles tennis match. I ran again around Ancil Hoffman Park and wondered how I needed to juggle the miles to get to 100 by Sunday. I also wondered if I should do it or not, but an inner voice told me to just stick to the plan and see what happens. After tennis, I managed to run another six miles and was surprised that my body responded well to this. My mind was calm and focused, and my Marathon Training Academy podcasts kept me great company.<\/p>\n<h3>Wednesday Run<\/h3>\n<p>I woke up excited and terrified of the\u00a015-mile run ahead of me that I did on the bike trail from William B Pond past Sunrise Bridge and back. I even met one of my tennis friends on the trail. She biked right past me and said &#8220;Hi&#8221; to me surprised to see me huffing and puffing on the trail. My pace was good, but I felt the need to\u00a0take a few picture and rest stops. See what I did here? I said picture stops, as if the pictures were more important than my rest stops. Who am I kidding?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_223\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-223\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-223 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CArmenRiver_July20-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Running on the 23-mile long American River Parkway, one of the largest trails in the country\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CArmenRiver_July20-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CArmenRiver_July20-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CArmenRiver_July20.jpg 1415w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-223\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Running on the 23-mile long American River Parkway, one of the largest trails in the country<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On my way back to W.B. Pond,\u00a0my starting point, I stopped to drink water and take a small break. A cyclist was also filling up his water bottle and we started to talk. I told him that I was running 15 miles that day and that I was going to run 100 miles that week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wow!&#8221; he said and tilted his bike helmet back. &#8220;I don&#8217;t bike 100\u00a0 miles a week,&#8221; he continued.<\/p>\n<p>His comment boosted my ego- ha!ha!\u00a0I started my run again determined to finish as fast as I could, as the\u00a0sun burned through my tech shirt and made me a little sluggish. When I got back to the car, I felt totally depleted. I was super glad my run was over and headed home, where I fixed myself a salad topped with black beans and yummy corn meal pizza with mushrooms and olives. I sure needed my proteins and carbs for muscle recovery!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_226\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-226\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-226\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PIzza-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Gobbling down a whole pizza after my long and hot run!\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PIzza-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PIzza-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PIzza.jpg 1475w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-226\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gobbling down a whole pizza after my long and hot run!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I could tell it was mid week, as my body was\u00a0revolting at me, so around 2 p.m., I told the kids that I would take a short 45-minute nap. I fell asleep in less time than\u00a0it took me to feel me sore legs. Head spinning at the next days&#8217; high mileage still coming.<\/p>\n<p>In the evening, I went to bed early. I\u00a0knew I had to get 12 miles in the next day and that I was on the right path to accomplish my 100-mile week crazy running goal.<\/p>\n<h4>Thursday Run- shorter and sweeter trail run<\/h4>\n<p>I decided that a 12-mile trail run around Ancil Hoffman Park, or what I call my slice of Paradise, was just perfect. I was surprised that my pace was strong, even though my glut muscles signaled left and right that I was abusing them, but I wasn&#8217;t in the mood to cut them any slack. My run was buoyed by two people on the trail who\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\">told me that I ran fast and that I had a strong pace.

That meant I had to run 15 miles on Saturday and another 15 on Sunday, but I planned to continue doing trail runs, since they were a little gentler on my body, even though I had some hills to conquer.<\/p>\n<p>I learned this week that training on softer and various surfaces allowed me to complete my crazy running adventure and this article from Runner&#8217;s World analyzes each surface and why we become stronger runners by mixing up road running with trail, sand, grass, and water.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.runnersworld.com\/running-tips\/train-on-different-surfaces-to-avoid-injury-and-boost-performance?cid=NL_QOTD_-_08122016_TrainonDifferentSurfacestoAvoidInjuryandBoostPerformance&amp;utm_source=RWD07&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;smartcode=YN_0000988866_0001564310\">http:\/\/www.runnersworld.com\/running-tips\/train-on-different-surfaces-to-avoid-injury-and-boost-performance?cid=NL_QOTD_-_08122016_TrainonDifferentSurfacestoAvoidInjuryandBoostPerformance&amp;utm_source=RWD07&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;smartcode=YN_0000988866_0001564310<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s run felt longer for some reason. I ran the same 12-mile loop at Ancil Hoffman Park and I stopped a few times. My favorite stop was sitting on the bench by the river with Richard, a gentleman in his 80s, whom I had met before. He recognized me and we started to chat right away. We talked about his walking, my running, and life. His blue eyes spoke in glitters of hope making up for his lack of body gestures. His much younger looking face shone mischievously and matched the sun peeking through tree branches. His hand held the cane loosely and gently, as if holding a delicate rose. His voice calm and soothing as the river made me listen to his wise words about getting older.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;When you are older, you are happier,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You live with joy and learn to accept a less stronger body and mind.&#8221;<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n<p>His contentment and vibrancy filled me with renewed optimism for the future.\u00a0His weekly walks and sitting on the same bench in front of the river turned into spiritual symbols that pointed to one direction: <strong>gratitude and happiness for the simple joys of life.<\/strong>\u00a0That bench. This conversation. This closeness to\u00a0nature and to the heart of matters. This inner peace that radiated out of his much younger heart than his actual age. The older age vibrancy that we should all strive to achieve as a result of a\u00a0life well-lived, treasured, and cherished. I wanted to just stay there \u00a0and talk to him, but instead, I got up, said my good-bye, and bolted back on the trail.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_231\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-231\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-231\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Trail_July22-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"My enchanted trail winding through Paradise\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Trail_July22-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Trail_July22-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Trail_July22.jpg 1451w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-231\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My enchanted trail winding through Paradise<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On my third 3-mile loop, \u00a0I stopped at the end of the trail and\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">m<span style=\"color: #000000;\">et a wonderful lady who is a nurse.

I tried to connect with my friend Holly and my Trail Mix runner friends to run together, but our schedules did not work out. I ran by myself from Cavitt school on the Granite Bay trails twice to make my 15 miles goal. I loved seeing the lake and the beach below. I almost wanted to jump in and then continue my run, but I already had a few small blisters, so I kept on running with a few stops.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_235\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-235\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-235\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sign_July23-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"So many trails leading to wondrous places\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sign_July23-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sign_July23-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sign_July23.jpg 1987w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-235\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">So many trails leading to wondrous places<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_234\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-234\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-234\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CarmenLake2_July23-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Folsom Lake\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CarmenLake2_July23-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CarmenLake2_July23-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CarmenLake2_July23-1.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-234\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Folsom Lake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After my run, as I was driving home, I received\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">a phone call from Family Fitness offering me three discounted training sessions.

The realization that I had run a little over 100 miles that week swept me off me feet. It made me marvel at the strength and resilience of our human spirit. It also made me\u00a0acquiesce that our bodies and minds were meant to work as a team and not against each other, as it happened to me a few times when I got tired.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed the toughness of my running week and I would love to offer a few pros and cons about trying this as a regular runner, or as a mortal, as many elite runners seem immortal.<\/p>\n<h6>10 PROS ABOUT RUNNING 100 MILES A WEEK AS A MORTAL:<\/h6>\n<ol>\n<li>Stamina<\/li>\n<li>Endurance<\/li>\n<li>Perseverance<\/li>\n<li>Learning to run on tired legs<\/li>\n<li>Increased mental strength<\/li>\n<li>Increased body strength, unless you get hurt<\/li>\n<li>Increased focus and concentration<\/li>\n<li>Long meditations in motion<\/li>\n<li>Meeting and talking to wonderful people during your runs<\/li>\n<li>The feeling that you are SUPERHUMAN after running 100 miles in one week, which not many mortal runners attempt to do, or ever do it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h6>10 CONS ABOUT RUNNING 100 MILES A WEEK AS A MORTAL:<\/h6>\n<ol>\n<li>Increased risk of injury<\/li>\n<li>Physical burnout<\/li>\n<li>Mental exhaustion<\/li>\n<li>Fatigue<\/li>\n<li>Not eating enough to fuel those long runs<\/li>\n<li>Increased risk of becoming\u00a0dehydrated<\/li>\n<li>Muscle soreness that slows down your pace<\/li>\n<li>Fear of running<\/li>\n<li>Lack of desire to run the next day<\/li>\n<li>Feeling DEFEATED.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>My whole high mileage experiment brought me an increased respect towards the rigorous training of elite runners. I don&#8217;t think I want to do this again. Yet, it felt great when many of my runner friends\u00a0called me an animal and a beast on Facebook after I posted about my crazy running week and thought deeper why I chose to do this and came up with 10 reasons, although there are so many more.<\/p>\n<h4>10 Reasons\u00a0to run 100 miles a week for the first time as a runner:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>As a lesson in humility.<\/li>\n<li>To dispel any fears and doubts.<\/li>\n<li>To be an elite runner for a week.<\/li>\n<li>To fortify the body and the mind.<\/li>\n<li>To prove &#8220;you&#8217;ve got this!&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>To enjoy separate workouts and experiences by running twice a day.<\/li>\n<li>To experience bewilderment at your strong selves.<\/li>\n<li>To train your body to run when tired.<\/li>\n<li>To challenge your mind.<\/li>\n<li>To inspire others to go the extra mile in running and life.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Remember, when in doubt, do it anyway! Stretch your wings in life and running! You will be surprised how much you will learn about yourself and others. CHEERS!<\/p>\n<p><strong>BIGGEST LESSON LEARNED:<\/strong> When doing long runs every day and having a 100-mile week, you are going for quantity over quality. Therefore, doing three or four great quality runs a week will be better in the long run for your body, mind, and spirit.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_238\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-238\" style=\"width: 169px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-238\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carmen101_July24-169x300.png\" alt=\"My long running week - Oh, my! \" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carmen101_July24-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carmen101_July24-577x1024.png 577w, https:\/\/runningforrealestate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Carmen101_July24.png 717w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-238\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My long running week &#8211; Oh, my!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more info on running and real estate, whether buying or selling, please e-mail me at <strong>carmenmicsa@yahoo.com, or call me at 916-342-2446.
