What are your plans for change this year? Are you going to run more, run faster or run in more events. How about keeping it simple. "Just run." Everything else will follow.
Running is truly a lifestyle! Until next time, stay safe.

All aboard!

Matthew training for next level.
When you finish training, train some more.
Lighten Up !

We all know that as we age, we loss muscle mass. However, all is not lost. Lifting weights at least three times a week will take care of that problem. Remember that after you're lean and toned, "Lighten Up" By that I mean, use lighter weights. No need to risk injury lifting heavy. Lighter weights and more reps is all that's needed. This routine we feed your muscles. Get the blood circulating.
We call this, easy lifting. Until next time, stay safe.

Oops!
One of the biggest races of the year has just passed me by. How did that happen? Well check this out. "No race day registration" Being as smart as I am, I decided that I would registered on race day now. With job demands and a son with never ending projects, I thought that decision was "right on." If something came up at the last minute, as of lately, I would save a few bucks. Well, I guess I'm not as smart as I thought. At some races, there is no same day registration. Wow! I didn't know that. I thought that they all had them.
Live and learn after fifty! Until next, stay safe.

Some Have It, Some Don't
Endurance, the ability to withstand hardship. Running long isn't easy. Matter of fact it's hard, very hard. To be good at it, there must be a commitment to train hard. That commitment almost always brings about endurance. Once you have it, you have it forever.Those of us who commit have it and those who don't, well you know the rest! Just think, The Ability To Withstand Hardship.
Run long, train hard. Until next time, stay safe.

If The Shoe Fits

Windermere 5k April 13,2013 |
The Windermere 5k, ah yea! This is a fun run that takes you off paved streets to narrow dirt roads. The scenery is simple beautiful. However, the dirt roads can be tricky to navigate.
I'm talking soft and often damp sand. These runs call for a
different type shoe, "trail shoes". Get a pair and you'll be glad you did. If the shoes fit, wear them.
No racing flats please! Until next time, stay safe.

A Change Of Pace
Want a change of pace and still get your run on. If you do, an Obstacle Course Race is what you should try. These races are filled with obstacles that challenge your physical fitness and your nerves as well. They are fun and additive. Some are fairly easy, other are extremely difficult. Stay away from those as they are not novice friendly. I can attest to that. Pick one and go for it.
In this case, change very is good! Until next time, stay safe.
