Week One Has Arrived!
Welcome one and all to the 12th year of our Go The Distance program. Hard to believe but the Boilermaker Road Race is just 12 weeks away. No worries you first timers, we will have you ready. We had our first run with the new crew on Monday and I have to say I was very pleased. Once again we have an enthusiastic team ready for the challenge. I cannot stress enough to make sure anyone who reads this and is running for the first time....make sure you are drinking plenty of water. The warm weather is very rare this time of year. Anyone sore after the first run? Hope you iced any sore knees or ankles. Cudos to many of my former Go The Distance runners for coming back to run with us. We must have had 70 runners with us on Monday. It was great to see familar faces. Don't hesitate to pass along the stories to the new runners...make them feel at home. Another special thanks of course to my partner in crime Joe Wilczynski. Without his dedication to this program, we would have collapsed long ago. Week two is coming up fast, any questions, just blog, thats what we love to do. See you next Monday at ECR International!

Great job everyone last night; you all did a very good job on your first run! Every one of you will cross that finish line in July. You have chosen the program that will allow you to accomplish your goal. As you seen last night you do indeed receive a lot of support to help you along the way which will continue each and every week for you. As Jason pointed out, it's important to drink your water on a daily basis to keep you hydrated for your runs.
Hello, Andrew! I'm just checking this out to see if I can work it correctly! This is a great idea!

Thank you trainers ! I cant say enough. Saturdays run was awesome. It was extremely hard for me but we all finished it depsite the "little" hills/inclines ! That last one was a killer for me but I refused to give in to my aching legs and my heart beating out of my chest ! Without all of you there is no way I would have finished and would have detoured to the nearest Dunkin Donuts that early on a saturday am !!! Cant wait till monday ...see you then. Sunday is a rest day correct ??!!!!!!
Yes! Great job Kim and to all that ran on Saturday. Rest up Sunday and we'll see you Monday night at ECR International.
