they train, the faster they’re going to get, the taller they’re going to get, the fitter they’re going to get. Knowing the effort he puts in is going to make him better is something that can be applied to everyday life – the more you practice, the more you train, the more you learn, the better you’re going to be,” Shaw explained. Even though she enjoys running with her children, Shaw said she also revels in the personal time she gets from running alone. “To go out and get away from the house and the structure of my life, I feel elated and detached and at the same time feel more connected to myself. Free. When I get back home it feels like everything is right. I feel at peace,” she commented. Shaw said some of her family’s fa-
vorite places to run include the Ravenel Bridge, the beach, around their neigh- borhood and at Palmetto Park. Both women offered a few of tips
and tricks for new runners. Holland said her Lululemon
compression running capris and Asics Nimbus sneakers are her secret weapons when she hits the pavement. “I can run a million miles in my sneakers, and they still have the com- fort of when I first started. I haven’t found that in a lot of running shoes,” Holland said.
When it comes to long-distance
runs, Shaw said she won’t get started without applying Body Glide anti-chaf- ing gel first.
Both women said they turn to TrySports
in Mount Pleasant Towne Centre when it’s time to buy new running gear. Holland’s most important advice to
new runners is not to give up. “Keep going; keep at it; know it’s go- ing to get easier as you go. Just have fun with it; don’t get too serious. It should be fun, because if it isn’t, it’s going to be a chore, and there definitely are days that it becomes one,” she said.
