Week Four Underway

Great job by all on Monday! How sweet was it that Anne's class came out to support her? You are all doing very well. Special thanks to Kim Stevener for lining up the Wednesday runs. I hope by now you have all found your pace. The key is to remember to stick to it. Your first race is this Sunday. Don't get caught up with the rush at the start. Remember to stick to your pace. For us, its a run, not race. Another tip, take water at the race, there is a water stop at the entrance of the canal. Pump your arms on the hills. Just ask Mary, she will tell you that it works! The bike patrol returns next week. We hope Chris returns as well. Big thanks to Sam and Margaret for leading the pack then bringing up the rear on Monday. Gosh we have an awesome Committee!
I'm proud of all of you. Good luck Sunday and see you on Monday!

What a great night we had to run in this past Monday! Everyone did a super job on their 4 mile run. Every week I see improvement with all of you, everyone has a great attitude with your running. It's amazing that week 4 is here already and your first official race is this Sunday. Don't worry about this because it's a fun race to get you used to running in a race environment. We all had a great time last year running. You'll feel great when you cross that finish line no matter what your time is because everyone is cheering you on. Remember that only four weeks ago you would have never imagined that you would be in a race. I give everyone credit for taking the time to focus on your running and having a fun time while accomplishing a huge goal in your life. Focus of setting your pace that each of you is comfortable with, this is very important. Everybody runs at different paces. Tricia, George and Chris we missed you on Monday nights run. Ann it was very nice that your class and other form Holland Patent school came down to cheer you on!! See some of you this evening for our mid week run. For those who can't make it, have a great mid week run!!!!!
