Hello everyone! If you have been following the Training Zone series, I am here to wrap up the final 5 tips. Have any of you started a training routine? If so, what are you training for? How has this list helped you reach a routine in training? Let us know by commenting at the bottom.

I will not hold the suspense any longer…here are the final 2 tips:

1. Occasionally Enter a Race. Find local, fun races that keep you motivated and excited about your new hobby! (**Like the Peachtree Road Race….did anyone enter? How did you do? Tell us in the comments so we can celebrate with you!)
2. Reward Yourself When You Succeed. Make sure you do something nice for yourself when you succeed. Some great examples are: a special trip, a relaxing spa visit, a pair of running shorts, or that new sports watch you’ve had your eye on.
