I survived!

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.

  1. 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!
