The 5 Ss of sports training are:stamina, speed, strength, skill, and spirit;but the greatest of these is spirit.-Ken Doherty
As a runner there is a lot of dedication and motivation on the runner. Being in tune with yourself mentally and physically as well as holding yourself accountable easily discourages many from even getting to the fun part, which is seeing changes in your body and the endurance you begin to build and of course...THE RUNNER'S HIGH.... I have trained 2 of my friends and written out running plans to help motivate those close in my life that are interested in building there athletic ability as a runner. The most rewarding feeling has been being idolized as a motivated and ambitious individual who people feel comfortable asking me to help them reach there ultimate goals in running races, recreationally, or try outs for the Cardinals dance team. Thank you Jamie, Jessica, Adam, Mark, Kimber, and Mallory
"Today is March 2, 2011. This morning I purchased a one month unlimited membership for work out classes at Physique 57. For the next month I am challenging myself to be more fit and healthy. In order to stay focused and work hard I am starting an accountability journal. I will be keeping track of my daily activity, the food I eat, and my personal thoughts throughout this experience. Each night I will email my entry to a few people that I know care about me and my well being. You are one of these people and I thank you for being a good friend. Advice, tips, and ideas are definitely welcome. I am fully motivated to look and feel better. A few of my goals include: working out a minimum of 4 times per week, stretching twice a day, eating smaller portions, eating less sugar, not eating red meat after lunchtime, and not eating anything after 7pm. I know change does not occur overnight, but with a positive attitude and a great support system I can do it".
As 1 of the 12 team mates a 200 mile relay race day and night was a priceless experience and an unforgettable one at that. I successfully accomplished my goal which was to forget about everything that absorbs us in daily life and just run, have fun, and eat lots of peanut butter and chocolate. What I loved most about the Ragner Relay Race was meeting the team mates in person that were in my van. My friend Aimee invited me to do this race with her and without her I would have never dreamt to do something so out of my comfort level. Aimee has inspired me to do the bold and daring adventures that I would never do without someone planting the seed. Aimee and I can now say we have ran in 2 races together and successfully reached our goals as runners. (Mount Lemon, Ragner Relay Race) She is a truly amazing person and I have grown as a person knowing her.I can't wait what our next adventure will be TOGETHER :)
Please check out this amazing race. I will definitely be doing it next year. If anyone is interested feel free to reach out to me.
