I've got a new mantra! Mantras are recommended all the time, as a great way to run further and faster. To prevent my mantra becoming a desperate 'How much further can I go on?!' I try to make up more positive ones.
For years I told myself: 'Youcandoit, youcandoit, youcandoit!', and during my religious phase I mumbled: 'Jesus Christ, son of God, rescue me!'
But my new mantra is: 'Spaghetti!' It's my way of reminding myself to loosen up those shoulders, until they don't touch my ears anymore. I want a supple body, like boiled spaghetti. This new mantra also comes in handy as a mom.
Whenever I have to help my son do his math homework, and I feel like tearing my hair out, I quickly think: 'Spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti!', and I feel the tension leave my body.
Do you have a running mantra?

Love that! I need that with the kids, too!
Mine for running is Believe. I wrote it on my running shoes when I ran my first marathon.
This is my first time here, looking forward to reading more.

Spaghetti is a great mantra! Although it might start to make me hungry after a while. ;-)
I usually just lose myself in thought/prayers/enjoying nature while running and in no time the miles have passed.
Does running after your kids count? Because my mantra would be "no, put it down, no, don't touch" lol New follower from the hop (daniellealecia)
