- Always be prepared for any kind of weather.
- Before doing a workout, make sure you do a solid warm-up and stretch.
- Careful when crossing the streets!
- Don't be surprised if someone beeps at you while on the roads.
- Eat something for some energy before heading off on a run.
- Fartleks always make for a stellar workout.
- Go to the bathroom before you run! Hydrate yourself before and after a run or workout.
- Include anyone who wants to join in on your running adventures!
- Just relax and remember why you are out there running.
- Keep in mind the next race you have coming up, and train that much harder for it.
- Let the roads just take you where they please, the best runs are not mapped out.
- Make mental notes of new trails you discovered.
- Never be discouraged if you had to cut a run short - at least you got out there!
- Outdoors was made for runners; we don't need confined rectangle fields!
- Perseverance and determination lead to successful training and races.
- Quiet? Never! Cheer on all other runners you see running around our streets!
- Rest is just as important as workouts.
- Spit when you need to; just make sure you don't hit anyone.
- Tell anyone not involved in other activities to give running/walking a shot - the more the merrier!
- Underestimate your opponent? Never. Always give them the benefit of the doubt, and prove to yourself that you can beat them.
- Victory waits for you at that finish line or the end of a training run, greet it with a smile.
- Wear a watch, you'll feel naked without it!
- Xtreme weather is always hitting our area, so wear the proper gear!
- You never know what you are capable of until you go out and do it.
- Zig-zag through the trails and roads, they are always open.
That's Great Staci!! I will share with my running pals tonight. :)
