Active.com: 3 Ways to Stick to Your Running Resolution written by Patrick McCrann

This is a great article on Active.com written by Patrick McCrann from Marathon Nation offering tips for sticking to your running resolutions in 2011,

Some of our favorite parts:

1. "You're already awesome" Thanks, Patrick! McCrann says that just being a runner puts you into a very elite category. Just by having a passion for your physical fitness places you at the top 1% of the population healthwise.
2. "All big changes start small"
3. "Stop dreaming, start cloud seeding"
4. "Get Accountable"-i.e. tell your friends and family about your goals. Use Facebook and Twitter to keep them updated on your progress.

How joining Team Illinois can help you stick to Patrick's reccomendations:
