Parker (14 year old freshman girl) runs like that now. Borrowed shirts, socks, never borrowed shoes. I ask her everyday how the workout went and there is usually a comment about how she kicked Genevieve's and Summer's ass today or how she dominated the hill during the tempo run. Only recently have I gotten her to cut out a lot of sugar and eat better, but she is resisting. She's going out kicking and screaming for the simple life, or as you say "from the gut"...

I trust my body and so I listen to it. Gut racing (on the bike) is the only way I know how. Excellent post. I don’t like numbers. I trust my body and so I listen to it.

Right now for instance, I'm eating delicious chocolate balsamic drops. Earlier it was muffins. My gut keeps me riding everyday. Wait, wasn't there another post recently about that?

Wait, wasn’t there another post recently about that?

Best year of riding I've done yet. Thinking long and hard before rigging it up this season.

Corndogs for lunch and 400 meter repeats at track practice. I felt old at 17 when this combination, for the first time ever, made me vomit.

I found it a lot more enjoyable to listen to my body telling me if I were fast or slow than watching some frustrating little number tick up or down. I still use one now or then, but I only let myself look at it after the ride. That’s the same idea that made me get rid of my cycle computer for several years.

I swam in highschool. Different details, same story. When I am training on the bike now, I get the same feeling: sometimes it is good to get back to basics. Here, here.
