I started instructing the 5K clinic at a local Running Store. One of the reasons I took on this challenge was to help over-come my FEAR of public speaking. I thought it would be a good forum to practice and even though during some runs you can't tell by my attitude I really do love running. I think I love watching people become runners even more and watching others (no matter what level) achieve their goals. This made perfect sense...at the time. haha.
There group is great and I got good participation from them.
This is a 10 week course and there is a 5K goal race that they will do too. It should be a fun 10 weeks.
I ran the Moon in June on Saturday night -the 5K and went sub 30 - but not by a lot. I signed up originally to RACE it but a good hard run worked better for me that night. It was a great evening and the rain held off so that was an added bonus.
Sunday morning I ran with my clinic again - we are doing 5 and 1s - 4 times and it is at a slow pace. I'm sure they will pick it up as time goes on and the fear leaves their eyes. haha.
I missed running a race with Mary Ellen on Sunday but she did awesome. 31:29 (i think) for the 5K....she will be sub 30 before she knows it. Just a little bit more pain will get her there.
Sunday afternoon I went and ran 10K with Louise, Ivan and Marlene. That was a painful 10K but doable. We talked about the marathon and maybe Louise will come along for the ride on this one. I will set out my goals when I have fully committed. I have bought my shoes for the later part of the summer and they will be my marathon shoes but that isn't commitment enough. Gotta get it right in my head.
So - lots of running this weekend and plenty more in store for me too.
