Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?' - Peter Maher, Irish-Canadian Olympian and sub-2:12 marathoner

Workout for August 10


Now that we've been running for ALMOST two weeks lets have a little timed workout. You're going to want a stop watch for this one.

Beginners - 2 miles

Intermediate - 3 miles

Advanced - 4 miles

Pick a fairly flat course and time yourself.
Save your times we're going to do this every few weeks to see how much we're improving.
Run this at a comfortable speed, slightly slower than race pace but, not much.
If your still walking most or some of your workouts don't worry.
This is not a competition, I just want all of us to see how much we're improving as the weeks go by.
Good Luck, have fun and don't stress out about it.

I think I would do better to run this on a trail. I ran in my neighborhood last night for about 20 minutes. I didn't have a watch and it felt much longer. I walked a tiny bit too. I think a trail that has mile markers would help me keep running consistently and not walking. Does the Kim Williams have mile markers? Is it open? Any other suggestions?

Kyla don't be too hard on yourself. I've been slacking more than I want to. Just do what you can and try and do a little more each time.
