Making the most out of our workouts generally means super-efficient training, but Good Gym in London is combining community-service work with running. Performing tasks ranging from distributing flyers for hospice to tidying up gardens, these runners are defining what it means to be a community member. Read the whole dang article! It's awesome. How can you implement a program like this in your community?

Tuesday, Tuesday
The temperature is predicted to reach an amazing 56 degrees today! Unfortunately, it will mean a wet, wet run this afternoon. At this point, cabin fever is kicking in, so bring on the soppy socks and the cast-off mud streaks on my tights.

I am 32 with a Ripstick in My Trunk
For years (and years and years), my summers have revolved around bike races, triathlons, training, not doing fun stuff because I might get hurt and not doing bad stuff because it might hurt my training...well, this summer I am putting my foot down. Bring on the hurt! Kidding. But seriously, bring on the the best summer ever.
So far, I have 1 - The Color Run, 2- The Warrior Dash and 3 - The Dirty Girl (the last two being on the same weekend). I also am setting the goal of paddling 5 days per week. Aside from going to work and paying bills, my goal is to live this summer like summer camp. Perhaps there will be some friendship bracelets involved. Are you in? What are your goals for summer?
Counting down the days til the snow melts.

Marching Orders
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory or defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt
Commit yourself to something amazing today - a race, a goal, a wall to climb over.

Whatcha Waitin' For?
Once you say you're going to settle for second, that's what happens to you in life, I find.
Hey Big Shot - If you have ambitions and aspirations to get your fitness on track...what are you waiting for? Get yourself a calendar (I prefer paper), choose an end-date...a finish line, a pant size, or something else measurable. Circle that date, plaster it with stickers, color it with markers or whatever you need to do. Next, back track on the calendar up to today's date and begin creating your plan. Be reasonable, be realistic, but challenge yourself.
Keep your goal in front of you - literally. Don't settle for anything less.
