Sweet friend,
Wow! What an amazing start to the week focusing on GRACE & GRATITUDE Monday and GRIT Wednesday in the studio! Each of you has shown up and given your ALL in your workouts and we are so proud of you! The week is not over yet, let’s finish it strong together!
T - MINUS 3 DAYS TILL ATHHALF!!!
Eeeeek! We are so excited. Whether running or cheering we are pumped for this Sunday and excited to see the TransFit family conquering this half marathon. CHEER SQUAD will meet at TransFit at 7:45 am... the race runs right past us!
⚫️RUNNERS make sure to post a picture in a TransFit shirt with your race number and tag us to receive a $15 credit for merchandise.⚫️
On the race course, and in everyday life we will need true grit to endure the distance, grace to give yourself and others unconditional love while completing a task given, and gratitude to thank your bodies and the Lord for the hard work in training and the strength and health He has provided! The AthHalf is also a fundraiser for AthFest Educates, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting high-quality music and arts education programs for K -12 youth in Athens-Clarke County, so we are giving back to the community as well. 💙
TRUE GRIT Inspiration Resources
Below is linked an article from Desiring God written by Jon Bloom illustrating GRIT in the Bible, what grit produces, and why as children of the Lord we need grit!
We've also linked a podcast by Angela Duckworth called "Why Talent Alone Isn't Enough". Both resources provide TRANSFORMING information!!!
Stretches for Runners
It's so important to stretch properly before and after a good run or walk. Yoga poses are great for the days leading up to and following a race, and dynamic stretches are awesome for the day of! Check out some of these great stretches.
🎃 Pre-Race Oats 🎃
Overnight oats and oatmeal are a fantastic breakfast before a race. It gives your body the slow metabolizing carbs needed to power our muscles over a long period of time, while also providing a source of necessary protein!!!! Your breakfast before a race should be an hour or two before and have a 80%: 20% ration of carbs to protein. These pumpkin oats are a great in-season option!
