 Olympian and American record holder Jenny Barringer, who just graduated from the University of Colorado in December, owns the American record in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at 9:12.50. She has proven that she is one of the best athletes in the world, earning a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team, two world teams, and is a seven-time All-American and 12-time All-Big 12 honoree. Jenny also won four NCAA titles and two national steeplechase titles.


“I’m thrilled to join the New Balance family and am eager to represent a brand that I find both inspiring and authentic,” said Barringer. “Given their quality products, support of charitable programs, and commitment to domestic manufacturing, I feel that New Balance and I are a great fit. I’m particularly excited to work with the Girls on the Run® organization, encouraging young girls to respect themselves and develop a healthy lifestyle through running.”

We haven't said it here yet so, "Happy New Year!" If you're like the rest of us you may be looking to get rid of that second chin that seems to have appeared over the holidays, or that "muffin top" you seemed to have cooked up around the top of your jeans over the past few months. Ah the winter will run it's course. But that doesn't mean we should let it run up our scale number! I gave up some good advice around this time of year in 2009 and I'm gonna stick to it. Check it out here. If you don't have time to browse I'll sum it up for you.

A. Be Reasonable but Specific.
At the turn of the new year everyone seems to say, "I'm going to lose weight." or "I'm going to eat healthier." We need to have something more specific in mind people. I say we because I can point that finger directly at me. Set out a specific workout plan, like 20 minutes a day - five days a week, balanced between cardio and strength training. Set up a specific diet plan such as making sure to include five fruits and vegetable servings a day. These may be pretty easy to accomplish but you know yourself better than anyone. Set a reasonable goal and be specific.

B. Crossroads on the path to success!
Give yourself a pat on the back for getting half way there. If your goal is to get up to a 5-mile run a day, reward yourself at 2.5 miles. This will help keep you on your way.

C. Utilize Backup.
Summon moral support. A person is much more likely to achieve success when they have a good support group.

D. Immediate Action Required.
If it's worth doing, do it now! It's always said, "Do not put off until tomorrow what you can do today." How cliche` right? But entirely true in this situation. If you put it off, it won't get done.

Easier said than done right? We want to see you succeed! It will help motivate all of us to keep going as well! Let us know some of your goals and what you are doing to stay motivated with your comments.

If you're a runner check out this great site for organized runs in your area. http://www.runningintheusa.com/Race/Default.aspx
