Topic: Lessons Learned

Question: It goes without saying that anytime you challenge yourself, you learn something.  What are some of the things you have learned on your own personal journey through fitness, whether it be from triathlon, running or just simply training? (Thanks for posting this question last week so I could schedule this post before I left on vacation.)) 

1. I’ve learned to prioritize.  If running is important, you have to make time for it which means skipping things you like to do or re-scheduling things.
2. I’ve learned to set goals. That means – how many miles to run each week or each month, how many races to run in, how fast to run, how far to run (and to keep track of the above by blogging and dailymile.com)
3. I’ve learned not to get discouraged after a poor run or a poor race.  There’s always another.
4. I’ve learned to run on the treadmill because I hate to run in colder temperatures.
5. I’ve learned that what you wear matters.  Clothes must be comfortable and it’s important to look good (at least for me).
6. I’ve learned a lot from reading other running blogs and by writing my own blog.

Happy Running!
