In the home stretch...May is Race Month - trust in what you have done!

As we continue to train and prepare for our spring races remember to keep the faith.  We have all followed our training plans diligently and hit the road day in and day out to maintain a solid base, charge innumerable hills and fartlek until you we were all out of gas...

But know, that all the hard work will pay dividends on race day...keep up your maintenance runs, taper smart and eat right...and remember that running is a process of self assessment. 

So give yourself an A+ and enjoy the race(s) you have trained for.

Run Strong; Run Proud!

Karen and I look forward to running with you at the Fredericton Half Marathon this weekend and again at the Bluenose Marathon on the 22nd.

The long weekend: rest, recovery and reflection...

At this stage of the game many of you are entering the second half and final phase of your Bluenose preparations.  Well Done! Commitment is everything.  Over the long Easter weekend take some time to reflect on your progress thus far as well as review your goals and primary objective.  Enjoy some quality R&R away from work and reward yourself with activities you enjoy.  And, as with all things training related moderation is the word of the day; rather the weekend.

Take stock, fine-tune and recover...be wise with your time and enjoy everything running has done for
(and to) you.

Run Strong; Be Wise!
