Tonight was our 2nd run together as a Beginner's Group. A lot of people didn't show up......not all 64 people were there tonight. We'll see what next week brings.
Our run tonight was run 2 minutes, walk 2 minutes....repeat 4 times. Then finish off with a 3 minute run. Well our first run was uphill.......WOW. I said to Amber as we were running....I don't know about this one. She said, don't you dare stop. So I didn't.....we kept going. And I convinced another lady to keep going too. So we made it through our 4 runs...and then the final 3 minute run came.....uphill AGAIN. Our coach Brenda was at the top of the hill coaching us.....keep looking at me, don't look down, use your arms, keep going. And then I made it up....Amber too. WOW. That was a tough one. Then it was cool down time. But we had a surprise 2 more minute run during our cool down. So tonight we went 2.92 miles in 45 minutes. Not bad considering we walk the first 10 minutes. It is REALLY great to run with a group. We all really push ourselves harder and encourage each other more than we would if we were just running by ourselves.
Tonight they mentioned going into a 10K training after our 5K training is done. It will depend on how many people they get. I sure hope they get enough! It would be for the race in Janesville on 9/24. I'll be out of town and won't be able to be in the race......BUT I really hope we get enough people for the training program. That would be perfect for leading into the half!
I'm exhausted. I'm meeting Amber at 6 am tomorrow for our Thursday run. I think I'm going to be sore......but no pain, no gain. Have a great night!!! Happy Running!
