“1) I walk multiple and different routes, as this takes away from potential boredom. 2) To challenge myself, I have a timed record for each of the loops I do so I can measure my sharpness and improvement. 3) I always carry a water bottle with me to avoid dehydration. 4) If I am doing a 10+ miler, I take my iPod with me as the songs always help me find a second and a third wind with tired legs. And 5) I keep a small snack in my pocket in case I need extra energy.” – Shawn Anderson
