It's time to be Fit For The Holidays! I consider myself a coach & my clients more like athletes, a #SweatTeam. I love being the coach, but I get so excited when I get to be the athlete on the team again. This Thanksgiving I wanted to workout so I could burn calories, but I didn't want to be in the gym. I knew everyone was going to be on holiday so I recruited my Sweat Athlete's to join me on The Thanksgiving Day Race 10K! Life is a team sport & this Thanksgiving holiday the SweatTeam was going to take on an Urban Fitness Challenge & Cincinnati Tradition of a 6.2mile race through Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky.
Started in 1908, Greater Cincinnati's turkey day run is the sixth oldest race in America, behind only the Boston Marathon and a handful of other nearly century-old events, according to Runner's World Magazine.***ThanksgivingDayRace.com
My Holiday Fitness Goal:
1. Be Active & Physical on Thanksgiving
2. Burn Calories
3. Challenge My Lungs & Strength of My Heart
4. Take on a New Fitness Adventure
5. Make a Foot Race a Team Effort
6. Increase My Mental & Physical Toughness
7. Run The Entire Race
8. Support my Teammates & Finish As a Team
What I love about this fitness challenge is not only are you staying fit on the holiday, but when you take on a challenge with teammates the experience unites you & brings you closer together. A team in a foot race is arms, legs, sweat, strength of heart & lungs, pace of feet working together to accomplish 6.2 miles. That is what unites us as a team & in a Cincinnati Holiday Tradition.
What gives the race its unusually rich heritage is the emotional hold it has on those who run in it, luring many back year after year. Many runners have competed in 20, 30 or more Thanksgiving Day races, which draw old high school or college track teams back for annual reunions, families who run together and others who apparently feel that a brisk six-mile-plus run is the perfect way to work up a good appetite for their turkey dinner later in the day. ***ThanksgivingDayRace.com
The moment that Your Team Crosses that finish line & accomplishes The Race, You High Five, Hug, & are Stronger Forever. What was an unexpected camaraderie was all the runners that had done tough mudders. They would shout out encouragement to the #SweatTeam when they saw our Tough Mudder Head Bands...they knew the past fitness challenge we had accomplished b/c they had accomplished it themselves...instant team support!
Race Tips:
1. Wear Tight Synthetic Clothes for body temperature regulation & performance.
2. Head Bands are great to keep your ears warm.
3. Find Teammates to pace with.
4. Enjoy the Experience: the scenery, the people, the outfits.
5. Fitness Challenges take us out of our lives & make us sweat, heart, & courage...Enjoy in The Moment.
6. Sprint to The Finish Line!
Life is a Team Sport...Get in The Game...Play To Win!
