Yo run gang,
May 22, 2013

Runners are creatures of habit, it goes with the territory. Consistency comes from having a plan, nobody has the time to sneak in a run in this busy life, it must be part of the schedule. Spontaneity is icing on the cake but it can't be our daily bread. This same mindset works into the event side of our running. Runners are good at maintaining traditions. Many of us have a list of certain events we run year after year, we know where to park, what to expect and can compare our fitness level over the years knowing the course and when we've done well, making it a much more rewarding experience.

That said, if your running is inconsistent or you are new to the sport, get out your daily planner and make a commitment to your runs, making them as much of a priority as the so called ... important stuff! In need of an event tradition? How about dressing as the Statue of Liberty every year and running 5 or 10K! cantonlibertyrun.com or go to runningfit.com/calendar and see what works into your calendar.

Plan, run, enjoy,
