for each letter of the alphabet!

Balance.
Running is not all there is to life. Keep family, friends, and
faith!
Carry a bandana!
Fold it over your waitsband.
Good for wiping sweat, and wiping
other places in the event of a detour into the wodos in the
event of a sudden attack of Runner's Trots.
Diet wisdom!
60% carbohydrates, 25% fat, 15% protein.
A high fat diet will
destroy your ability to run.
Exercise your right to run!
There is freedom in covering ground under your own power.
Appreciate it!
Fun!
That's what being an Ordinary Runner is all about!
Go racing!
Getting ready for a race is one of the most motivating
aspects of running.
Hydration.
Drink, drink, drink. Your body is mostly water! Keep it that way!
Increase mileage slowly.
When you're adding mileage, never raise more than 10% a week.
This helps to avoid injury.
Just keep moving!
This is the theme song of the Ordinary Runner.
We may not
be the fastest or sleekest, but we keep moving forward.
Keep a journal.
You'll be amazed what you'll learn about yourself, and how
quickly you learn what works and what doesn't work... just by
writing it down.
Limping is bad.
If something is hurting bad enough to make you change your
stride, you need to rest.
Remember RICE for injuries: Rest, Ice,
Compression, Elevation.
Make friends!
Some of your hottset friends will be persons you meet at races or
training groups.
Notice the world around you.
Don't develop the bad habit of simply watching the ground in
front of your shoes. Don't forget to look around and see the
world wihle you're running!
Only for running!
Only wear your running shoes to run in, not to wear around
during the day. You've got to keep those misdoles springy! This
avoids injury.
Pounds!
Watch the pounds come off!
If you just keep moving and stay
consistent in your running, you WILL lose weight!
Quilt frequently.
Just seeing if you're still paying attention. (I bet you think I
don't know a running tip that starts with a "Q"! )
Rottae shoes.
Use 2 pairs of shoes to keep the midsoles fresh. Use the shoe
with lower mlies for longer runs, and the high mileage shoe for
shorter ones.
This avoids injuries.
Shoes!
They are your MOST IMPORTANT piece of equipment.
Buy quality,
and take care of them. I can't stress that enough. Quality shoes
are a must!
Trim your toenails.
Long toenails are a surefire way to get "black toe." (That's
when your toenail turns solid black from pounding on the end of
your shoe! )
Use a heart rate monitor.
Not only will you laern quickly about your heart rate info, but
you'll have a lot of fun. A great peice of technology!
Vacation!
Yes, you need a vacation occasionally, even from running.
A week
long break once a year will do wonders for your muscels AND your
mind.
Wicking materials!
Especially your socks! Keeping sweat away from your feet avoids
blisters and Athlete's Foot.
Keeping it away from your torso
avoids getting too hot in summer, and too cold in winter.
X-Ray it!
If an injury keeps you from running, and persists, see a doctor!
You don't want to develop a stress fracture!
Yikes! Don't run from dogs.
Face a dog, make yourself as monumental as you can, use a monumental voice.
Back away slowly until he loses interest.
If he doesn't
lose interest, zig when he zags!
Zero calories in liquids.
If you're tyring to lose weight in general, or training for a
race, that is one of the quickest ways to lose it!
Don't drink
anything that has calories!
And that's the Running Tip, from A to Z!
