Well, there's not a lot to write about when it's all going good :) I've probably mentioned this before? But, I've been truly blown away by my Runwell Group. The runners who have followed their schedules, have improved so much! They are STRONG! I want to run, and I want to run strong. It's absolutely normal as human beings to want to get better, stronger, and faster.
I wish I could take the credit, but these guys are the ones who have to trust the process, show up for the "Wednesday Night Killer Speed Workouts", the Hill Workouts every Monday night, and let's not forget our Long Run on Saturdays, which I often have us run through the beautiful hilly neighborhoods of Lakewood. Week by Week, they just keep doing the work! And week by week, they are getting stronger! I had to blend my training with their training. It was too hard for me to try and keep my training as well as the Runwell Training going. So, I combined both schedules. In an around about way, I moved them up to an advanced schedule :) The more 1 mile repeats and Yasso's I throw at them, the more they want. INSANE RUNNERS! In fact, a few times I would say, "Well, the schedule calls for 8 Yasso's, but we can stop at 6". They wouldn't have anything to do with that! If I pull off this crazy goal or heck if I pull off a big PR, I will have to give the credit to my runners, for keeping me Honest!
So, I've been knocking out my 18 miler - EVERY WEEK. It's crazy, but it's become easy to do. I've been doing my long run with my group. I've haven't had a chance to run a race yet. The DRC Half Marathon is coming up. Again, my goal is to run it without my "Darth Vader" (that's what I call my Garmin) and not to stop and give other runners dirty looks - find my pace, listen to my body, and push from there.
The count down is on! We have The DRC Half 11-1, 30K on 11-15, and then The White Rock Marathon on 12-13!
