A Few Things My TnT Experience Has Taught Me:

  • Running with a group makes the miles pass faster
  • Try and stay on your feet
  • Stay away from balloons (They mark the last of the runners at Disney ... anyone after the balloons gets picked up by the bus!)
  • Listen to your coach, mentor and fellow runners -- they know what they're talking about
  • Running without music is a good way to be alone with your thoughts
  • I don't like cross country (I'm still sorry, Jamie!)
  • There are a lot of supportive runners out there
  • No one looks good in a Christmas sweater
  • A run is a great way to start the day
  • Rebel never gets tired
  • Running in the rain is actually enjoyable
  • Running in single-digit temps is not
  • People are generous when you ask them to support a good cause
  • Nothing beats a good pair of shoes
  • People throw a lot of trash on the side of the road
  • The first mile never gets any easier
  • Showering at work isn't the end of the world
  • Everyone should push themselves to do something they never thought they could
  • Drivers don't pay attention to the road (or people running on the side of the road)
  • You can never stretch enough (an IT Band injury hurts like hell!)
  • The body can be hot and cold at the same time
  • You really can change your life (and the lives of others) just by putting one foot in front of the other

REMEMBER, I'M DOING THIS FOR A GOOD CAUSE.

  1. Running taught me that it only makes sense when you are being chased by a bear.

  2. I read your blog, I found it interesting, BUT! The lesson I have learned from running is that when the cop is slower than you, you are in the best position possible! Good luck with your endeavors, I look forward to future blogs. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
