Running continues to teach me new things.
- Never compare yourself to another runner. Nothing good comes from it.
- Finishing, even finishing last, is better than not starting at all.
- When your toenails fall off, the nail bed is hard --- not like a new nail, but not soft like skin
- Missing toenails aren’t that gross
- A good pedicure can make it look like you’ve still got toenails J
- My “no bumper sticker” rule is now a “running bumper stickers are ok” rule
- One sticker for each distance accomplished is more than enough
- Marathons are really hard
- Runners love the signs people hold up on marathon routes
- Little kids think even us back of the packers are big time athletes – high five every one of those little hands
- After every race, stick around as long as you can and cheer in the runners after you. They will appreciate it.
- Just run, don’t worry about how fast or how far --- except when you are training
- It is really easy to eat more than you burn and gain weight
- Once you start running, running clothes take over the laundry
- Tracking progress is fun
- Old iPod Nanos are the best because they’re small
- Gatorade
and GUs together are disgusting but necessary
- Nice medals are a great motivator
- I prefer getting cotton t-shirts and hoodies for races. Fun to wear afterwards
- You can never wear too many lights in the dark
- You can never get too many free things at an expo
