Blogroll the eighth-ish

Just trying to maintain some normalcy during this marathon family visitation week. As an introvert, I'm just begging for some "me" time, but certainly happy to find a minute to eek out a blog post.

Read this quote somewhere this week:

"Life will make you a 'loser' over and over again for a reason, but you'll never know what that reason is if you give up."Alright then, sub-2 half marathon. What else do I need to possibly learn before I make you a reality?

Train Like an Athlete:

• Fitness truths nobody will tell you except for this guy.
• What happens to your body when you exercise. 
• So... I need to start planning races around my monthly cycle then? Lame.
• This just makes me smile. I don't anticipate ever participating in the Penn Relays at any age.
• Overdoing it ruined running for this athlete. Hope I'm not in the same boat.

Eat Like an Athlete:

• The Worst Diet Ever Invented - and here I thought I had been struggling with an eating disorder for a long time.
• Started taking Apple Cider Vinegar daily... will let you know how that works out.
• Apparently, you are supposed to eat the avocado pit. 

Think Like an Athlete:

• People think I'm "type B" and pretty laid-back because I can pretend to be really patient, but all of this applies.
• Anxiety: We are each our own devil.
• The evolution of anxiety: why we worry.
• So this is also why I make bad decisions.

Sleep Like an Athlete:

I've got nothing here today.

Today's Exercise: Unplanned rest.
