Well, I have joined the local YMCA’s Team in Training program to prep for the 10K on March 31st. During the first weekly workout session, it was almost all talk and a very short run. However, that changes quickly.<\/p>\n
30 minutes of discussion about what works and what doesn’t, what to wear (high level), and what not to wear (headphones during the weekly runs). After all, it’s about teamwork, and you cannot get that if you have music blaring in your ears. Also, it’s harder to hear people in the back or front of the group yelling about a car coming. However, during the indoor mid-week runs, my music will be blasting away on the treadmill. So, after the discussion, we did a 1-mile run. I finished the entire mile running and not walking at all. I actually think it was less than a mile, meant to motivate you in the first week. There are over a hundred people in the novice group, including several that I know well outside of the Y or know to say hello to in the Y. I don’t think that all of the people will complete the program, but I will!<\/p>\n
