So this week I have a great article with over 100 tips for running!  Running can be very intimidating to many people but if you take it easy and set goals for yourself, you can be running races in no time!

Here are some of my favorite tips from the article:
1. Don’t carry loose change. It will annoy those who are running with you.
2. “Do not compare yourself to others. Run within yourself and for yourself first.
3. Even a bad run is better then no run at all.
4. Buy the powdered sports drink mix instead of premixed. It’s cheaper and more similar to race drink mixes
5. Do not increase your mileage more than 10 percent per week.
6. Ice aches and pains immediately.
7. Try shoes on in the afternoon when your feet are bigger.
8. Keep a training diary
9. Wear sunscreen and a hat when the sun is beating down—even in winter.
10. For hot weather fill your water bottle about half way lay it at an angle in the freezer and just before you head out for your run top it off with more water.
