My do’s and don’ts

I woke up this morning feeling the need to create a list of do’s and don’ts.  Training for this race is going to be hard and a little focus will go a long way:

Do:

• Appreciate my supportive family (you can’t do this without them)
• Listen to my coach (he knows more then me)
• Eat smart (protein after your workouts!!!)
• Stretch (15mins after all runs and rides)
• Listen to your body (before it yells at you)
• Learn to change a tire (quickly)
• Enjoy all the endorphin highs

Don’t:

• Listen to the coach in your head (she is sick and twisted)
• Believe that every workout should feel great
• Ignore your friends (just a ½ tablespoon of self-absorption permitted)
• Avoid running in the heat (Louisville is hot in Aug)
• Panic
