  1. #Running tip: Training your mind can make you a better runner. Visualize what your challenges are going to be like. #fb
  2. Frm runner: "I didn't push too hard b/c I wanted to go to ballgame, eat hot dogs, drink beer and knew I couldn't if I had heat stroke! #fb
  3. #running tip: Best to run in technical shirts that wick perspiration from you. Not cotton that retains moisture. #fb
  4. #Running tip: To carry energy gels on long runs safety pin top 2 your shorts. Rip off as needed. Discard top later. #fb
  5. Just watched several gait analysis done at Boulder Running Company in Denver. One machine used an iPad for camera. Cool; informative. #fb
  6. #Running tip: If you are having a bad day running, don’t let your bad vibes drag your partner down. Just deal with it. #fb
  7. #Run tip: Heat can affect U 2 ways, dehydration and heat stroke. All hype is about dehydration, more serious is heat stroke. Careful! #fb
  8. #Running tip; Chafing? Apply Vaseline or Body Glide to chafe-prone places, but do where others don't have to watch. Ain't pretty. #fb
  9. I've waited 10 years to get this email from the Boston Marathon! Dear Mr. Williams, Congratulations on (cont) tl.gd/hh85u4
  10. #Running tip: Run the tangents during your race. Take inside route around corners. Don’t swing wide and run needless distance. #fb
  11. #Running tip: Most streets are inclined to drain water. Can cause foot issues if you always run on one side of street. #fb
  12. @managerjohn has good point: All things we say day of race shall pass. I've said pretty heated things myself in last 2 m. It passes. #fb
  13. From friend after 26.2 this AM "NO MORE hot marathons! Only 1 I will do in any month other than nov or dec is Boston!" #fb
  14. #Running tip: Perhaps no word captures what drives long distance runners as well as the word “passion”. #fb
  15. #Running tip: Run all your training runs slow and you end up a great slow runner. Must do some fast training to get fast. #fb
  16. #Running tip: Having 2 pair of shoes you can alternate is a good idea. #fb
  17. @mhmiller Dude, you my AGENT! I'm overnight success! Just doing the same thing for quick 35 years!! LOL Thanks!!
  18. #Running tip: Dogs can't handle heat like humans. Careful running with dog in hot weather! Yes, Lady can have a heat stroke! #fb
  19. @mhmiller @scenenow @DJournalnow Michael, I'm 70...but I play much younger....does that count? 'Active' works, but 'pillar'? Dunno!
  20. Tip: One goal of a good #running plan must be injury prevention. Injury rates very high for those going too far, too fast, too soon. #fb
