It is not giving up when the going gets tough - when it hurts, when you are tired, when you would rather do something else, when you would rather eat crap, when it is raining outside or when others tell you (or you tell yourself!) you can't do it. <br /><br />I don't know if I get grittier with age, but I would like to think I might!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382569552132982982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-78184719507572245052011-10-11T11:11:39.889-06:002011-10-11T11:11:39.889-06:00ohhhh! love this post! grit to me is determination...ohhhh! love this post! grit to me is determination and strength and it is definitely something I try to channel :) i LOVE reading my ipad on the TM/elliptical.

(Sorry - I moved to the south last year... couldn't resist.) ;)<br /><br />But seriously: grit to me is doing the hard things because you know you CAN, even though you know you don't HAVE to. (After all, no one points a gun at our heads and tells us to run long, or sprint intervals, or power through hill repeats).<br /><br />Also - Kindles rock for workouts! I love that you can change font-size and make it bigger (and thus easier to read) while working out.Beth (i run like a girl)http://i-run-like-a-girl.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-77522366147565744452011-10-11T07:20:53.358-06:002011-10-11T07:20:53.358-06:00you grity girl :D lol I love it.

You certainly do have plenty of grit!<br /><br />That's a great suggestion for the reading on the elliptical/treadmill...the pages of my books never stay open, so having an electronic reader would solve that issue.

We're asked to shoulder so many things that pushing yourself to run just a little harder doesn't seem to be that tough in the thick of things in our regular life. <br /><br />People think that running is tough but they don't realize that it's actually a break from work and home and laundry. It a way to be free.Coy Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00144649093762262574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-55325119057539538702011-10-11T06:30:42.872-06:002011-10-11T06:30:42.872-06:00I voted for you!

Grit is not ...Thought provoking post. I love it :)<br /><br />Grit is not quitting, no matter what, (unless of course there is a very clear valid reason to stop that would endanger life) I felt like I coasted through my early 20's, and the past few years I've made it a point to push myself beyond what I thought I could do. I also think you either got it or you don't (until it gets forced out of you by something making you realize you have it) <br /><br />If I didn't have grit, I wouldn't have kept running through blisters, hip pain, side stitch type stuff in my marathon this weekend. And consequently wouldn't have gotten a huge PR. <br /><br />Grit isn't comfy. It's pushing yourself to do things never thought possible.Xaarlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09103441780159368391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-37879653994122690612011-10-11T02:26:32.848-06:002011-10-11T02:26:32.848-06:00Was the article in Women's Health??

I'm thinking it was the same one you saw.<br /><br />I think grit is one of those things you can't create. You either have it or you don't. The key is that, I also think most people DO have it, but they haven't pushed themselves enough to bring it out. You can just assume you're giving your all... You have to really keep yourself in check and constantly push yourself more than before, because that is how you grow, that is how you get better, and that is how you stay gritty (in a good way, not in the sand in your no-no places after a day at the beach sort of way)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790614672254668087noreply@blogger.com
