    What's Your Reason?

    columbus start Greetings!

    After doing most of my training on the treadmill this past week, it was great to be able to take the dog for a run in the 55 degree sunshine on Sunday afternoon. I was in a great mood all day. I was able to run on the Dublin paths in just running pants and my new Reebok Premier Quarter Zip Soft Fleece, without even a base layer. I want to thank Chris Ward and the rest of the team at Reebok Running for what is now my most favorite piece of running clothing.

    This week we introduce the CD101 "Official Playlist" for the event. I think you will really enjoy this mix of music. The list contains some great bands including U2, R.E.M, Elvis Presley and even The Beastie Boys. Check out the list!This playlist will be heard at the Start/Finish Line, at each of the six (6) aid stations throughout the course and from the CD101 music truck out on the course.

    To create the ultimate experience for everyone and based on the amount of registrations we have been receiving, we are going to limit our field to the first 5000 entrants. We are already more than halfway there. Do not miss the opportunity to join us on April 12, 2008 for the 5th Annual Capital City Half Marathon Presented by Bank of America and the Commit to Be Fit 5k! Register Now!

    If at First You Do Not Succeed.

    Learning how to run and learning how to train is not the same thing. Learning how to run is a matter of letting your body adapt to new stresses.

    Learning to train means accepting the physical and emotional ups and downs that come from pushing your limit week after week.

    Coach Jenny Training Tips from Coach Jenny
    Chafe-Free Training

    Lube up for those long training sessions! As the weather gets warmer the shorts and other fun clothing come out, the likelihood of chafing comes into play. Any place there is skin rubbing against skin can or in some cases, clothing rubbing against skin, can cause enough friction to start a small fire! Arms, thighs, chest. Instead of raising the fire risk in your area, apply a lubricant to these areas. Bodyglide and Sportshield are products that look like deodorant and is easy to apply before a training session and the race. You can also use Vaseline, but it is a little more messy and can break down the technical clothing. Guys, put band-aids on your chest (nipples) to avoid bleeding that often occurs from friction from your shirt. The small circular band-aids work well and they even have special "Nip Guards" for this very purpose. Protect yourself so you don't cross the finish line looking like someone shot you!

    If you get caught chafing on race day, stop by an aid station and smear a little Vaseline on the affected area as well as on your shoulder for future use.
