Visualize Success!

You are getting to the final stretch of the season. This article reinforces what I’ve probably said periodically over the last few seasons. It’s nice when what I think you need to know is backed up with actual literature.

Passing along the information to you in case you’re in need of shoes, clothing, waterbottles, whatever you need for running.

P.S. – I am on day two of my return to running! I spent a lot of the month of June walking the dogs and riding my bike to get ready. It’s tough after three years of poor diet and inactivity; I’m not giving up.

2011 WV State Meet Results

Congrats to all high school runners who participated in the WV State Meet over the weekend. The weather was excellent and the races were intense.

The hurdle events seemed to have it out for the participants. Friday saw a lot of hits on the track with participants tripping and hitting the ground hard. That was painful to watch, but made for some good races from the respective teams. I applaud them for getting back up and finishing the run, way to go!

The official results are posted, CLICK HERE.

Slacker’s Guide to Getting out the Door to Run.

I found the boys open 800 where the second place finisher dove across the finish line. It was spectacular! Kudos to him for the attempt to finish strong. You can’t coach that in a runner. It must come from within. CLICK HERE.

I found videos of previous state meet events posted on YouTube. I have provided the link to the Girls 1600 AAA from last year to give you the link.

I recommend you watch some of the distance races and take note when and where the leaders “make their moves” to finish.

T-shirts are ready. I will be at the track a little later today than I originally planned. Look for me between 3:15 to 3:45 today. Please remember to bring your money before you get your shirt. Thanks for a great season!
