As Bev recently wrote, headphones are increasingly being banned in running races. Though I'm no marathoner, music is definitely a friend to me during a workout. So what's a runner to do if they suddenly find themselves at the starting line, iPod banned? The Seattle Times thinks they have the answer: a good, solid mantra.

If you're in need of a good mantra, check it out or find some words of inspiration to push you on during your next big workout challenge!
