Take It and Run Thursday: Running Fireworks

Take_it_and_run_thursday Welcome to Take It and Run Thursday! 

It's our way to bring together the knowledge of all of us ordinary runners.  It's the virtual equivalent to putting our virtual heads together.  Even though many of us aren't elite athletes, coaches or authors, it doesn't mean that we haven't earned a well deserved PhD in running.   Whether you are starting out, have 50 years of running under your belt or somewhere in between - all of us have lessons learned that make us wiser and better runners.  

This week's theme is ... Running Fireworks.  In honor of the 4th of July, let's talk conflict, controversary, and commotion.    What are some of the topics that you and your running friends discuss and have different opinions on?  What are some topics that your family members take up with you?   It can be serious, technical or even fun.   Need an example, we loved the recent chatter with was so eloquently titled "Shirtless Coalition" by Nitmos.

Next week's theme is ... My Running Set To Music.  Ok, admit it - once or twice you have envisioned your training or running set to music when you thought about how this part of your life would be depicted the movie they made about you.   You might have come up with a few ideas of what song they would play as they flashed different scenes of your training, or maybe what songs would perfectly capture each mile of your run.   No need to keep it to yourself - share it!  Tell us what songs you would use to tell the story of your training and running.

This week's theme is ... Yeah, no one ever told me this about running....  Now that you are a runner, what is something you have learned about running that no one ever told you before.   You didn't read it in a book, a blog or hear it from a friend or another runner.  Or...maybe you did, but you didn't understand it or remember it until you learned it yourself.

This week's theme is ... Salute to Running Dads.  With Father's Day around the corner, we thought it was only fair and fitting to redo our Salute Week that we did for our favorite runing moms - but for all those great running dads.  Put away the ugly ties and cans of car wax you have for presents and instead gift the running dads in your life with a well written tribute!

This week's theme is ... Relays, Ultras, and Tris - Oh My!   We spend a lot of time in the Lounge talking about more traditional running events like 10K's, half marathons and marathons because we spend a lot of (collective) time training for them.  But we also share a great love for the not-so-traditional running events like cross country, relays, track events, ultras, triathlons, duathlons, serious endurance events and more.   Take a break from the "norm" and join in a conversation about the other running events you enjoy.

Take It and Run Thursday: Salute to Running Moms

This week's theme is ... Salute to Running Moms.  With Mother's Day around the corner, we thought it would be great to have you talk about a running mom who inspires you, makes you laugh, kicks you in the butt when you need it, coaches you, runs with you, brings you water, or just simply runs.   Write up your own salute to the mom.  We will leave it to you if each line starts with a letter of R-U-N-N-I-N-G M-O-M or any other tribute you create - have fun with it.

This week we will reward one lucky TIaRT participant as well as the mom they salute with a copy of the book "Running With The Devil"!

This week's theme is ... Time and Balance.  One of the continuing challenges we hear from runners is finding the time to run and balance running with all the other priorities in our lives.  How do you do it?  What are one or two things you have found that help you find time or make time for your runs.  What do you struggle with in balancing what you want to do with your running with all you "need" to do?
