Half Way There

We have finally made it to the HALF WAY point in our training. The weather was perfect for running our 5Ks and 10Ks on Saturday. A little overcast and a nice little breeze was ideal for our run. The reality is really setting in at this point, 6 weeks have already been invested and with 6 more weeks to go, 13.1 miles is becoming more attainable and a little intimidating! We have all experienced the 'bad run' days and we have all felt at our best during some of our training runs too. It truly is a mental 'sport', sure there is the physical part, but the main part of distance training is our mental state. Physically we can all accomplish 13.1 miles, whether we run it, run/walk it or walk the whole distance; our challenge is the mental part-fitting in our training runs, waking up early on Saturday morning, pushing through the 'tough' miles...nevertheless, the feeling of accountability the group provides has truly helped my mental state. I hope everyone is feeling the sense of a team when we are all beating the streets together. Let's forge ahead and tackle these last 6 weeks of training!
