10. Unfortunate and aggressive chaffing happens after 30 miles without the right stuff. Get the right stuff.
9. Ice baths cut recovery time in HALF. Try it.
8. Florida is not as skinny as it appears, especially when traveling across on foot (right, Matt?).
7. Burpees suck. For everyone. But they are a necessary evil. Embrace them.
6. Germany in December is unbearably cold.
5. Distance running is a battle between your mind and body. At a certain point, one will want to stop. Then the other one will. It's key to avoid the point where both want to. Cause then its over. So train them both. Make them both tough. Then they can alternate time on duty. And you can keep going.
4. Look for friends who share your passions. They will fuel your fire.
3. Find someone who balances you out also. Balance is key. My husband is great at this, but don't tell him I said that.
2. Find coaches who believe in you more than you do. Shout out to all my coaches: Dan, Chris, James, Jason, Vincent, and Michelle. You need people who know you can do more than you think you can. This helps with #5.
1. Hold your loved ones close and tell them you love them every chance you get. Life is short. Cliche, I know, but each day offers new opportunities. Opportunities to be better, to be happier, to improve someone's life, to improve your own life. Don't let the days be wasted.
Here's to a new year. See you on the road!
Run Happy :)
