Group Run 8

Well, we are now running at 6am so we start off in the dark! Last Saturday was the most mileage we have accomplished since beginning our training. We were able to run/walk either 8 or 10 miles. We will do the same mileage again this Saturday.

This is the point in training where it takes more effort to accomplish the training mileage. A lot of us are tired from the grueling pressures of family and work and it seems to take a lot more energy to do even 3 miles! We are in week 9 of training and the end is just around the corner. I think we all need to find what motivates us so we can continue training. Just imagine the feeling of getting to that start line and, more importanly, crossing the finish line on October 11th!! You will feel such a sense of accomplishment and empowerment when you are able to look back at these last 12 weeks and realize just exactly everything you have done! So, pat yourselves on the back for making it this far and keep on trucking...YOU ARE ALMOST THERE!!
