Training Program

If you look at the left hand side of this page you will find a link you can click on that outlines an 8 week program to running your first 5K. I think we have exactly 7 weeks before the Highland Fling so plenty of time to be ready to run..

5K Training for Week June 15 - 19

Hi Runners

If you are interested in running with the group this week - we will meet at my house - Tuesday and Thursday at 9am.

Bring a water bottle

Congratulations!

Way to go to you awesome runners! We can't wait to hear about the fabulous MARATHON that you finished!

How do you manage your music?

I have a very important question for you all--

How do you manage your Music while you are running? Do you load up great running songs on your MP3 player? Which are your favorites that really get you going?

And how do you manage the earphone cord? I have an MP3 player that straps on to my arm, and then there's that long cord that goes to the earphones. I've tried running it through my sleeve and inside my shirt, which seems to be better than having it out flapping in the wind, but then if I lose an earphone, I may have to reach down into my shirt to get it. I've tried running it up my back, but that seems awkward, too.

So, How do you manage your music?

(Sorry that it's just me posting, again, DaNae. I just got tired of checking for new posts and never seeing one.)

3 1/2 Weeks and Counting

Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder to register for the Running With Angels race. The deadline to register is May 7th. You can register after this date, but it will cost you more. Also, don't forget to let me know when you have registered and your t-shirt size so I can make you a Highland Road Runners t-shirt. And for you walkers out there, remember you are also invited to do the race. You do not need to run it. Walkers are welcome.................

Also, check out this weeks article and running term. The article is about increasing your speed and I thought it had some good tips.

I would like to thank Robin and Paige for entering blogs - not that we are tired of hearing from you (just kidding), but we would love to hear from the rest of you. If you have questions about entering a blog give me a call.

Have a great week..

Inspiration

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ~ Marianne Williamson
