the new season begins

Ok, this sat begins my new race season. My running group, Bostonfit, which is part of USAfit, begins their offical season that runs from May until Oct. I am hoping to join a second group that also has a weekday run and that goes all winter to keep me motivated during the cold, snowy months.

Some of my running buddies and I have been trying to continue our weekly runs, off season, but it has not alway been easy. I am actually looking forward for the new season. I am now a half marathoner. Usuaully when I join a training group, it has always been to train for a full marathon. Beginning last fall, I decided to have a half marathon as my goal. Some days I wished I was going for a full, other days I was really happy to be "only" training for a half.

This season, we will have our very own half marathon coach, instead of being tacked on with the slow full marathoners. I am really excited. He is a peer coach who trained with the group for the last 2 years. He is a fun, and super motivating guy. Just what I need in a coach.

I will let you all know how it goes on sat. I think we are only doing short run.

Wish me luck,

Lisa
