The Best Subscription Gift Box For Runners - Fast, Fit, Fun, For You!
It doesn’t matter if it’s your hard day, easy day, race day, or off day, you’re always training.
It could even be the day after St. Patrick’s day. You remember… after you ran that awesome Half, or put in a solid PR on your 26.2 and then went out and celebrated with some green brews.
You need to refuel that machine you call a body, and make sure you give it enough liquids to keep you going day in and day out.
One simple word… HYDRATE.
Considering the age of the earth, we only get a few precious moments to enjoy it.
The times you spend with family and loved ones are always cherished. But sometimes we forget how great it is just to run.
IT won’t be long until joints are sore, and those nagging injuries become a regular way of life. And, unfortunately, a time when running will no longer be an option.
So, RUN WHILE YOU CAN. There will be plenty of time for sitting in front of the computer, or watching “Lost” reruns later, but the time you have to run is limited.

“I don’t have time.” or “I’m too busy.” these are two of the most common excuses given when someone gets asked why they aren’t more active.
The same person puts in a few good hours a week with The Bachelorette, or chasing friends on Facebook.
Get off the chair, couch, whatever, shut down the computer, and get out there. Go running. The TV or computer will be there when you get back.
You don’t have unlimited time, but you do have control over your time. Use it to make yourself better.
Log Off And GO RUN.
OK, I know rap is an acquired taste that not everyone likes to acquire.
But even the most conservative of runners needs to have a good rap power song on their playlist. (If not 2 or 3).
This Tunesday, we here at StrideBox decided that if we chose a rap song, it needed to be something positive and upbeat.
Well, shine on…
Im’ma Shine – Youngbloodz <<<--- Link To YouTube This is a great song for the playlist, or even an event highlight video... Plank-A-Day... Whatever...
OK, OK… so we know that during races, there are rules. Rules like, stay on course, no shoving, and keep your shorts on.
(Sometimes even those are pretty optional.)
But the greatest thing about running is that you don’t need a course, or even a reason, you can get out there and just run. Walk out your front door, and you’ve got a whole planet of trails. You don’t need a bunch of rules, gear, or even teammates, you can simply just run.
A special thanks to this inspirational tweet by @ForwardRunning for this weeks Motivation Monday…
