Runner’s Strip Cartoon Movie Shorts: Hill Repeats

Posted on January 23, 2014 by Cait — 4 Comments ↓

Because we’ve ALL had those prickly bush fantasies in the middle of a workout or race. “I’ll bet hucking myself into that tangle of nettles will be a LOT less painful than what I’m doing now.” It may not always be a prickly bush, but the mind certainly has a crazy way of looking for any excuse to get you to stop running. Fighting those ‘excuses’ and telling yourself to IGNORE that whiney voice inside your head is something ALL runners deal with. Constantly. We know that complainer, that voice telling us that we can’t, will always be there. We start every race and workout aware that the time will come when the pain sets in, but we ALSO tell ourselves that we CAN push much further past what that whiney, compliany, snot-nosed little voice tells us. Run mentally tough…abstain from hucking yourself into that prickly bush. Well, at least until you’ve gotten through all the repeats, then, well, do what you will. 😉 ——— Be a GAMER: How to be confident going into workouts and races Master Your Nerves: How to use pre-race nerves to your advantage More posts on mental toughness HERE More Runner’s Strip Cartoon Movie Shorts HERE ———- 1) What was your last ‘prickly bush fantasy’?

Runner’s Strip Cartoon Movie Shorts: “Cold Weather Running”

Posted on December 9, 2013 by Cait — 8 Comments ↓

I love running, but what I DON’T love is running in the cold. Truthfully, I don’t harbor ANY fantasies for a white Christmas (or any day for that matter) for the sheer fact that running outside in the snow, in the cold, in the windy, etc. is not cool. Winter is pretty in a snow globe when when you’re a runner actually out there in that flurry…it aint pretty. When winter comes around, I layer up, and then do all I can to manage the nose situation… I present my latest Runner’s Strip Cartoon Movie Short: “Cold Weather Running” I hope you’re packing tissues or hands are as fleet as your runner feet! 😉 ——– Winter Weather Running tips HERE!

Runner’s Strip Cartoon Movie Shorts: “Recess Snack Swap”

Posted on December 6, 2013 by Cait — 10 Comments ↓

Children with runner parents put up with a lot. Mom and Dad head out early for their weekend long runs. Dinnertime table talk could err on the side of TMI compared to other families… “God, I have the WORST chaffage right HERE…” And then there are the runner foods that consume the cupboards. Enter my latest Runner’s Strip Cartoon Movie Shorts: “Recess Snack Swap” Don’t get me wrong, kids that have runner parents are INSANELY lucky. They have role models that show just how much fun exercise and fitness can be, that adopting healthy habits will make you happier and more productive in other areas of life. Kids that watch their parents set and strive for running goals witness first had how powerful hard work and dedication are. But, Mom and Dad, try to keep in mind Chocolate flavored GU’s don’t go for very much on the playground black market. Kids with runner parents are much more likely to become self-motivated and persistent individuals themselves. And hey, if they wind up runners themselves…even better!! #spreadtheaddiction 😉 ——– For more Runner’s Strip Cartoons…go HERE!

Running a hard workout or race takes a LOT of lying to yourself. “I SWEAR it’s the last repeat!” “Just make it ONE more mile…” “I promise it won’t hurt THAT much.” Hey, if it takes a little self-deception to push through to the end, then so be it, right?!
