It's likely that you won't feel "fresh" legs all day long. Understanding that there will be obstacles and really dark/low moments on race day, it's important to approach race day with a positive can-do attitude that race day is all about performing with your body. When was the last time you said to yourself "Body, let's see what we can do today!" with no expectations or assumptions? With a good mindset, and accepting the reality that racing will not be easy, it's important to deliver yourself to the finish line knowing that you gave your absolute best. What more can you ask for by your body?  Here are a few of my tips to help you get the most out of your race day performance so that you can feel proud of your race day performance.  ...

I remember information better by seeing it versus reading it. I have 11 ear piercings and I did 3 of them by myself in high school. I got my belly button pierced when I tu...
