Happy 2017 Longhorns! The New Year is often a time for looking ahead and setting goals for ourselves. If you're considering a fitness goal for this New Year's resolution, we are here to help you! This blog will offer tips and provide guidance for every level runner. With a focus on topics including nutrition, fitness, and reasons you should be a part of Longhorn Run 2017, this blog will be here to help you cross that finish line! Winter break can be a difficult time to start or stay in shape. Realistically, this should be a time for us, as busy UT students, to relax and take some time off to prepare for the spring semester. Similarly, if you are planning to train for the Longhorn Run, you should take this time over the break to focus on getting some good rest, eating well, and maybe starting some light workouts. To help you get motivated until we all get back to Austin, members of our Longhorn Run Committee have provided their favorite inspirational clip or quote.
