When You're a Pro, What Does Time Off Mean?
Runner Kara Goucher made her marathon debut a year ago in the Big Apple, but she's skipping the New York Marathon this year. At the Nike Running Summit, she explained she wasn't planning on racing again until Boston because she's doing some planning of a different nature — family planning.

Speak Up: What's Your Workout Mantra?
It is often said that running is 90 percent mental, but I wouldn't limit that ratio to running. For me, a large part on any workout is mental. I could always just hop off the elliptical and head toward the sauna, so I have a lot of convincing to do.
Exercising Outside? Don't Forget the Sunscreen
While the weather might not seem balmy, the warmer temps of Spring do allow most of us to work out in the great outdoors.

Even when it is cloudy (in SF we can just say foggy), damaging rays make it to the earth's surface and your skin.

Spring Running Essential: Arm Warmers
Spring weather is unpredictable, which means layering is important. When headed out for a long run, you can wear a tank but keep your arms covered with arm warmers. No longer just for the legs, or the dancers, arm warmers are a great accessory for runners and cyclists alike.

When your workout gets tough, you need to be mentally prepared for the self pep talk and the occasional mental smackdown of negative self talk.
