Run Well *** Finish Strong

Proper nutrition is often a missing link in a physical training program, even just a happy life program. Your body can no more operate properly without proper food than a car without proper fuel. You would not think of driving down the road in your car with an empty gas tank. Why then do you run down the training path without proper fuel? Your body is a complex piece of equipment which needs proper fuel to function successfully. Your body needs it's "gas tank" correctly filled. Your car is mechanical and electrical. Your body cannot function if only the "mechanical" parts are developed. The electrical system (brain, nerves, cells) cannot function with their necessary "fuel." Proper nutrition provides the "fuel."
