Kansas State Fun Run
![]() |
Kansas State University |
Getting back and running on Kansas State University Campus after 36 years was an awesome run. Amazing how many new buildings are there now and more amazing how the originals are still standing and looking great. It turned into a 7 mile run; starting from down town motel, through the neighborhood I lived in and around campus. Didn't make it out to the stadium but covered most of my old stomping grounds. Check out the caption at the bottom of the viewing screen for the story behind the pictures. Check out the link to the slide show for Kansas State University fun run. If you get a chance to go back to someplace special in your life, be sure to take advantage of it and enjoy your own fun run.

Tame The Monster Within - Step 2
![]() |
Run with upper body relaxed! |
In Step 1 we addressed the mental side of taking on your monster. That little voice that tries to convince you what you can and can’t do, often times to the point of controlling what you actually do. In Step 2 we’ll take a look at how that monster lurks in your upper body and causes havoc when it doesn’t get its way. By building anxiety and causing doubt in your ability it creates tension throughout your body. Tension causes your body to work against itself, leading to pain while running and even injury. Come on in and we’ll learn to tame your monster.

Your Monster Within |
The toughest challenge
of running, is taming the Monster Within. You have heard it,
that little voice that tells you; you’re too tired to get off the couch, it’s
too cold – too hot, your back hurts or not tonight you have other things to do.
That voice is pretty demanding and for many of us it rules what we think we can
do and at times; can actually control what you allow yourself to do.
This is the 1st
post of 4 to help you kick that monster out of your head and give you control
over how active you want to be at whatever you want to do. If you’re interested

Perfect Protein Drink Magic Bullet Blender Dymatize ISO 100 Whey Protein Low Carb Protein Drink |
As runners that have
yet to reach that perfect BMI (Body Mass Index) we’re always tracking our
weight, or at least should be. We face the ongoing
challenge of offsetting the carbs that create sandbags around your waste with
other, more efficient fuel for our body. Runners need to provide something our body can
use in place of high sugar carbs. That alternative should be some form of
protein. It needs to have minimal carbohydrates with a high level of both
protein and calcium. I start everyday with this simple blend, please let me
share a cup with you and set you up to get started on your daily protein
drink.
