NoBo is off and running!

It's been a few weeks since I posted so I'll bring you up to speed. We had several group runs canceled due to snow, but its melted and the sun is shining again. Woo-hoo! The group is doing great! Today we ran about 2.5 miles and they did extremely well.

Morgan and I are still trying to get in some extra mileage since we have a 10K in just 4 short weeks. We did 2.5 miles before the group run this morning so got in 5 miles. Speaking of Morgan, she talked me into going to the gym last night. What did we discover? Our legs are much stronger than our arms. Time to work on toning those up - more cross training is in order.

Overall, I feel great and love the feeling of a good cold run to start my Saturday off!

Thanks for reading. ;-)

NoBo is back!

It was a wet cold night with drizzling rain when the work day ended. M and I ran about a mile together before meeting up for the newest No Boundaries training group. There was an awesome turnout! Final count was 30+ people ready to train for a 5K together. A few runners, a couple walkers, and a lot of run/walkers.

This is my 3rd program through Fleet Feet and I'm always impressed with the organization, coaches, and staff. Tonight's new group had a great run in spite of the weather. I think they're committed already for showing up the first night in rainy weather.

Stay tuned, lots of group runs coming up over the next 12 weeks.

Running the Bridge RUN!

Tuesday marks the beginning of another No-Boundaries program. I'm anxious to get back on a regular running schedule. The weather lately hasn't been conducive to running outdoors. Ice, snow, sleet, and slush just do not make for clear sidewalks. Hopefully it will be clear for the first group run.

Morgan and I have decided to run another 10K in March. We're heading to Charleston SC for the Cooper River Bridge Run. We are super hyped!!! We booked our hotel and registered - now we need to keep up our mileage so we can finish strong on 3-27. My friend, Joyce S., said "be ready for a different type of race experience." The event is capped @ 40,000 participants. I can't wait!

Shoes are a key part of running gear. M and I hadn't been fitted for shoes until this week. Now we're both sporting new fitted running shoes! I like mine already and can't wait to find out how they feel on a run. I chose a pair of Pearl Izumi Syncrofloats while she purchased a new pair of Brook's.
