Being Race Ready

Your "A" race has arrived! You are so excited you try everything to calm yourself down and focus on your race. You have done the training. You have eaten a wide range of nutrient dense foods, drank lots of water the last 36-48 hours and are well rested. What could go wrong?

Snap Out of It Sister

The alarm goes off at 5:00am and you have already been laying there wide awake for the last 15 minutes. You pretend you were dreaming that you had woken up early, but in fact you laid there for those extra 15 minutes trying to convince yourself you are not nervous about this race. You jump out of bed and the pre-race routine begins.

D3 Sponsor Spotlight: Body N Balance Massage Therapy

Amanda McCracken UBN Balance The best way to describe my massage style is "Integrative". I use a combination of neuromuscular therapy techniques , breath work, and medium to deep Swedish strokes. Ultimately the session belongs to the client. I encourage clients to play an integral role in their sessions and encourage feedback.  I want my clients to leave their session with a better understanding of their own body. I approach each session with a genuine curiosity about the individual. – Coach Amanda McCracken ** D3 athletes get a $10 discount so an hour massage is $50 and 90 minutes is $70.
