The Starting Line
by Clara Grandt on March 19, 2013
My racing season is opening this weekend in Virginia Beach at the Towne Bank 8k. I'm looking forward to getting on the starting line in a competitive setting again and seeing the masses of runners who will be there for the marathon that it is associated with it the next day. Something about seeing all the enthusiastic race goers preparing to conquer a goal they've set probably months ago motivates me to be an example as one of the leaders in the race of putting everything you've got into a race.The setting of a road race, and especially one centered around a m...

Fueling a Runner
by Clara Grandt on February 28, 2013
Coming home from my morning runs, I usually look forward to breakfast, something like a bowl of hot cereal with things like cinnamon, flax seed, and some sort of berries added to it. Then at some point throughout the day I have lunch and start some dinner preparations so that most of dinner is ready when Jason and I get home from our evening run. Apart from time running and working out, I realize that I spend a lot of time planning, preparing, and eating. In training, I think the second most important thing next to actual running and working out is eating, followed closely...
