You Lay down the shirt. Lie is when you Lie down on the softa. So perhapy lying around? or how about stacked on a shelf? I finally figured out the present tense... My motivation, writing down my schedule and sticking to it as closely as I can! As for race shirts, if they fit crappy they go in the Goodwill bag, if they are too big they go to my husband, if I like 'em I wear 'em and remember the good and bad parts of the race.

I put new ones at the bottom and wear my way through them from the top. I am now working through 1997 shirts with a few 1996 ones still popping up. I don't allow myself to wear a shirt of a dnf or dns or something like that. Those I use to wash the cars to remind me I must go back and revenge the race. One thing though, I keep all shirts. I have a cupboard just for them.Johannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588120934444485158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-15330875266584682392014-01-27T23:43:39.399-06:002014-01-27T23:43:39.399-06:00I'm like Kate - I try not to put too much pres...I'm like Kate - I try not to put too much pressure on myself because I'm not good at pressure. But that doesn't mean I slacken off in training. I'll often go out for an easy run and end up making it a tempo one. But giving myself permission to take it easy is sometimes what I need to get out the door when I'm feeling a bit tired. As for race shirts - I only keep the ones that make me look good. Because I'm vain like that.Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819714901550763235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-49270875959823315982014-01-27T23:26:47.557-06:002014-01-27T23:26:47.557-06:00We're so different.

I keep very few race shirts, only ones I really like or where I did particularly well, and I wear even fewer of them. Other than my bike rack (and my scars) there are very few outward signs of my secret endurance athlete identity.

Use "lie" to describe your body in recumbent position. Use "lay" to describe placing an object down. For example, "I had to lie down after finishing that last 800m" vs "I will lay the baby down for a nap."Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641028266038110278noreply@blogger.com
