Listen to advice, even olympic athletes have coaches.

I actually didn't know that taking seasonal breaks would be good - I was feeling pretty lazy for doing so but I think it'll pay off once our rainy season is over and I start up again (b/c I'm not one of those hardcores who is willing to train in the rain)! I always find that the inner cheerleader in me needs to be balanced out with an inner challenger to keep me going. I'm naturally competitive by nature so if I think "hey, you've made it this many miles, let's see if you can make one more. Okay, you made one more, you're not dead, go for another, let's see if you can" etc etc etc. That’s really great advice!

I never knew my body was capable of so much. I look forward to finding out what else I am capable of. When I get discouraged, I focus on the little things which are going well and keep my eye on the bigger picture. Nice post Aimee. :-) Happy 10 years running! Running taught me not to set limits.

It's absurdly appropriate, so I'm going to have to leave it there! Aimee Hmm, somehow the HTML made a chillin’ smiley instead of Number 8.
