“Divide the marathon into thirds. Run the first part with your head, the middle part with your personality, and the last part with your heart.” -Mike Fanelli, runner and coach
“We run to undo the damage we’ve done to body and spirit. We run to find some part of ourselves yet undiscovered.”- John “The Penguin” Bingham
I came across a really great article of 101 Running Tips.
I recommend you take the time to read through it because there are some awesome tips and great motivators.
Dirty Girl Mud Run
Raleigh, NC — 3/23/2012
IT WAS COLD. It was really cold this morning, but I still had a really great time. It didn’t feel like a 5k race to me. The obstacles were a lot of fun—some a little more frightening than others, but I successfully made it through all of them.
2 of the mud pits were frozen this morning… so they had to dry them up so we wouldn’t get hypothermia and DIE. Had it been warmer, it would have been far, far muddier.
Regardless of the not so great weather, I had a great time.
Can’t wait to do another mud run. When it’s not 40 degrees outside.

October.
I just registered, and I will be there, and I couldn’t be more excited if I tried.
Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they’ve got a second.
