Coach S has given me the day off from the Blog and offered the following words of advice.  On the money . . . take heed.  Details for today's workout will be provided at practice, but you CAN do it!  See you at 2:30.

Attitude. Are you starting your workouts with a lack of confidence or motivation? You may have heard the Henry Ford quote, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t – you’re right.” Prior to starting any workout, especially one where you will be pushing your limits, it’s crucial to get right in your head. Replace negative messages like “I am not strong enough to do this,” with uplifting thoughts such as, “Believe! You are capable, fierce, unstoppable.” Or, whatever works for you . Mantras:

I can do this

Screw it, run through it

I love every terrible moment of this

You’re stronger than you think you are

Embrace the suck

I  am a runner

Can’t stop, won’t stop

There are ________ (donuts, beers, waffles) at the end

I am strong

Strong. Energy. Relaxed

Race my pace

I run my own race

I will survive

Don’t stop

I am. I can. I will
