Did you know that our team captain coordinator, Tracy Draper ((Enable Javascript to see the email address)), is also a personal trainer? She has conquered the half marathon, full marathon, triathlon and being a mom! She will be posting on the blog as well to share her knowledge of training and nutrition. You can meet Tracy personally if you run the Disney World Marathon or Half Marathon in January.
1. Favorite snack: bagel with peanut butter; water or non-citrus fruit drink
2. Super Stretch: Warm up the knees and stand with knees together and bend down. Place hands on knees, circle knees to the right five times (slowly); repeat to the left. Two reps.
3. Mental edge: Visualize yourself along the course from start to crossing the finish. Imagine your NF Hero being cheering you across the finish line.
Tell yourself, “I can do this!” — and believe it!
I totaly agree w/your thoughts….I used #3 durring my first marathon this last October, especialy when doing the last 6 miles on a pulled muscle. See you at Disney in January when I concur my next marathon!
