Saturday Run and Week One Report

It looks like we are getting quite the group put together!  I am really excited and know that everyone is going to have great support and inspiration as a result.

*This Saturday is our first "long" run...2 miles.  Meet at 7:30 at Valley Park (just off Valley and Gould) to take advantage of the fabulous green belt/bark trail (soft surface!).  Follow the trail NORTH (turn left) ONE mile (there are diamond signs every 1/4 mile) and turn around and come back to enjoy some stretching in good company.  It doesn't matter how fast you run it...just keep running the whole time.  Unfortunately, I'll be out of town the next two Saturdays, so I'll be missing out on this initial group bonding.  Bummer. :(

*You are almost finished with your first week of training!  How did it go?  What happy moments did you have? What problems do you anticipate/worry about?  Take a moment this weekend to comment and see how your other awesome runner buddies are doing.  We'll do this every week to help us stay focused, committed, and supported.

*Finally, think about what times during the week will work best for you and e-mail me.  We can then start putting together mini-groups throughout the week.  Of course, running solo can also be a nice escape from things, depending on the day.  I just want to make the training as "easy" as possible...well, the logistics anyway :).
