Prudence Ticknor, GBI’s Dietician and Health & Wellness Coach, here!  Training for the Rock n’ Roll Las Vegas Half Marathon has officially started and you have already finished your first day (and for you early risers, your second)!  Congratulations!! 

Be sure to start each week knowing which days and times you are walking/running and which day you are strength training.  When you know the days, time, location and what you will be doing, you have created a clear image in your head and you have set it into motion.  The clearer the image you have of your training schedule, the more likely it is that you will accomplish your weekly training goals.

Now, believe it or not you have already done the hardest part: commit.  You came to the first meeting and have committed to doing the training and the race.  A lot of times making that first move is just putting aside the fear of something new and all of the possible negative internal dialogue that goes along with it to step up to the plate and commit.

I hope you are all proud of yourselves because you should be.  Look in the mirror each day and say, “I can do this; I am doing this!”

Happy healthy walking/running,

Prudence
