Normally mine is “Please oh please don’t stroke out on this run”

Mattew 17:20
Those with faith, small as a mustard seed, can say to this mountain…move from here to there and it will be done. Nothing will be impossible for you.
Donuts…beer…ben n jerry’s…cheesesteaks…burgers…beer…ben n jerry’s…nutella…mounds bars…snickers…chocolate chip cookies…chocolate cake…beer.
Or some variation upon that general theme.
Edit: I guess if I’m being serious… “It’s just a feeling”.

That’s a variation of one of my mantras
“the trial of miles; miles of trials” from once a runner
i found myself saying it over and over again one run and spent the whole 2 hours thinking about it! perfect mantra, because it actually created that transformation of thought!
…that and french fries dipped in milkshake
French fries in a milk shake?? Dude I’m not a picky eater but that’s downright deranged!! Let the bashing begin
All for me beer and tobacco!
great quote… now I have a shanty for the run
Here we go for hookers and blow!
one, two, three, four
sometimes five
.
And it’s all for me grog me jolly, jolly grog
All for my beer and tobacco
Well, I spent all me tin with the ladies drinkin’ gin
Far across the Western Ocean I must wander
I’m sick in the head and I haven’t been to bed
Since first I came ashore with me plunder
I’ve seen centipedes and snakes and me head is full of aches
And I have to take a path for way out yonder

Got Grog? is on the A$$ of our shorts.
Not a verbal one. I just replay in my head the chords from the verse of My Generation over and over.
At the end mine is ‘balance’. I was told by a former Olympian in the 5k who still does some consulting that balance is everything. Once you lose your balance and start wobbling, it’s over.
Winners don’t even know they’re in a race.
They just love to run.
“the trial of miles; miles of trials” from once a runner
I’ve found myself thinking about that one a lot recently.
My own favorite is:
“Easy doesn’t necessarily mean slow.”
As long as I’m being honest with myself about the effort I’m expending, I don’t need to force myself to slow down. Helps me to relax and maintain good form on easy/recovery runs.
That one pops into my head as well although lately I find myself going a bit more off the reservation. On my long runs I’m all about natural disasters. Going up hills I try to get a mental picture of a Tsunami washing onto shore and going downhill I’m a mudslide…that and I find myself getting an acute case of tourette’s depending on the level of pain I’m experiencing.
I don’t have time for mantras… I’m too busy counting my footfalls per breath.
