To take a clinic, or not to take a clinic… this is the question i asked myself… i have to say that i am not sure i could have done it any other way and stuck with it. Possibly if i ran with someone that was willing to take the time and motivate me through the process, but the camaraderie, the talks, the walks, the laughs, the struggles and the final run were worth every second of my time… I chose the clinic, but what ever you do, don’t do it alone because if the journey is worth doing it is worth sharing.
Some of my best memories and experiences have been because I did it as a group and we all worked towards the goal helping to push and motivate each other to get there. Oh yah, and when you pay for it, you are more likely to go and get your money’s worth!!
Knowing someone else is there to meet you for your run, or giving a speech or taking roll call, or going to give you that extra tip… makes you more accountable and gets you out the door. When you finish your run, you will be so glad you did, and then of course the beer, i mean recovery drink, tastes sooooooo much better after a good run!! Change your socks, change your shirt and if need be, change your attitude: Life can be amazing if you want it to be. You are the only thing that is stopping you from reaching your goals so get out of your way and start moving!
TOTB: This tip will alleviate the challenges from the BOTB from the last entry, a group of my running buddies have started taking Imodium before our races to alleviate the need for a pit stop… for me, it works great but as with all new additions to your training, make sure you try it BEFORE the big race day to make sure your body adjusts accordingly…
BOTB: When you are out on your run, be aware of who is in the vicinity… never spit without first checking who might be behind you, beside your or coming your way… video to follow in next blog…
STAY TUNED: I was out in the river valley catching unsuspecting runners with POOR RUNNING ETIQUETTE… stay tuned for those videos in my next blog… still getting the waivers signed…
