April 10, 2009 03:39 PM Filed in: News
Find a safe place to excercise
Begin running under the guidance of a parent, adult, coach, teacher, etc.
Walk or run 25.2 miles in the next 10 weeks (that will put us at 1 week before race day!)
As you complete your miles, mark them off on your Cardston Kids Marathon Mile Log.
Come to the Cardston Elementary School on June 24 to run the last mile of your Marathon!!!
Wear running shoes or sneakers and socks. Proper footwear prevents foot problems
Run/walk with a friend. You can encourage each other that way
Stretch your legs before you run. Stretching helps prevent injuries. Hold each stretch for 20 seconds without bouncing up and down
Drink lots of water after you run and throughout the day. Water helps muscles do their work
Get plenty of sleep. Your muscles need lots of rest so you can keep running/walking everyday
Eat a well balanced diet including lots of protein and carbohydrates. Your body needs fuel to do its work!
