There were 60+ people for the first night of our beginners program! WOW. We walked around 10 -12 minutes and then ran a minute, walked a minute. We repeated that 4 times and then finished it up with walking back to All Season Runner. 2 times our "runs" were up hill. It was nice to run with a group......I definitely pushed myself more than I would have if I had been alone.
We got our 9 week training schedule and also did some stretching afterwards. We had 4 coaches that helped us along. We split into groups.......walkers, beginners and advanced beginners. I stuck with the beginners. It is definitely harder to run outside than on my treadmill.....especially with those hills! But Amber & I pushed through it and we're going to run together tomorrow too.
Very fun! Looking forward to the next 9 weeks and our 5K race!! Thanks to Theresa & Roger for suggesting the half marathon.....I think I'm going to enjoy running!!!
Happy Running! Have a good night.
Holy cow ... 60+ people. That sounds like motivation at its best. By the end of a serious 9-week training program, you'll have no problem finishing a 5k successfully. Soooo proud of you cuz!
