Secondly, I will think about the race course, and think about crossing that finish line or catching and passing the person in front of me. Whatever works! As my coach says, we all have crappy running days. It says a lot about your character if you can work through them.Erin Conleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12560914834163706133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850907268943480909.post-8488112830925364152009-07-08T11:48:18.416+12:002009-07-08T11:48:18.416+12:00I'm going to try that magnet trick!

There's probably a ton of caffeine and sugar in there...and it takes a while to break your habit and need for it. I was really bad with diet pop---usually by 10 AM I would have two 1 liter bottles. I couldn't break that habit right away, so I started bit by bit. I began replacing pop with water. It doesn't happen overnight, but if you gradually work at it, you'll give it up. You'll have more natural energy, and you'll sleep better. Keep up with your running --- that will help you in the end!Erin Conleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12560914834163706133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850907268943480909.post-58583890904796708852009-06-30T06:22:07.146+12:002009-06-30T06:22:07.146+12:00great job girl!!! sounds like you have a great goa...great job girl!!! sounds like you have a great goal in front of you too :)Aronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418163097675963683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850907268943480909.post-75043860722041212832009-06-27T10:06:21.919+12:002009-06-27T10:06:21.919+12:00looks like an awesome plan!! day one is always th...looks like an awesome plan!! day one is always the hardest, but once you are out there its awesome!Aronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418163097675963683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850907268943480909.post-82978201896012917652009-06-27T10:03:52.435+12:002009-06-27T10:03:52.435+12:00I agree with Denise, the blogging community is so ...I agree with Denise, the blogging community is so awesome and such a great support system.
