Update on Running

Okay girls, I've gotten some feedback on running and I'm sooo excited for all of us to get started! Michelle had the awesome idea of posting schedules of when different people are running, so you can jump into any run that works for your schedule. So here's the latest:

Stacey, Andria, MacKenzie - Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights (9:00ishPM) and Saturday mornings (7AM MacKenzie, and I'm unsure about Stacey and Andria. Stacey and Andria are doing the couch to 5K program, which would be a great start to get a good base. It's either 6 or 8 weeks, I've seen it both ways, and it alternates between running and walking, increasing the running as the time goes by until you are running the whole way. I think it's a great way to get back into the groove, without going too fast. It should be lots of fun. Everyone runs at their own pace, and the people who run faster turn around and walk back to the group during the walking time. Jump on in whenever!

Kristina - She is a morning gal. She's shooting for Monday and Wednesday mornings, 6 or 6:30AM. She is fine with going it alone for while to get used to it, but I am sure she's welcome company too.

Kristi - she also would like to go nights. I'm not sure about Saturdays, it never really came up.

Megan and Michelle - we are flexible. I think Michelle prefers mornings, and I don't really care. I just want to make sure I'm going at least 4 times a week. Wednesday and some Thursdays nights don't work for me, otherwise I'm flexible. My boys will be coming with me if it's before Wes gets home at 7:30PM or after he leaves at 8:30AM. Post a comment, email me at megative_11@yahoo.com or just show up to whichever group is convenient. See you there!

Almost everyone seems on board with the half marathon, some people want to try for a couple weeks first. Registration is in October, so think about it for a bit and I will let you know when it's time to decide. Everyone is in for running a 5K, so let's pick one and do it! Let me know if you have any ideas for one we could run, and I will do some research too. I am so excited for this, it's going to be way fun!
