Changing

I think it is so fun watching each one of you turn into Running Freaks!!!  And I am especially glad that I am not the only crazy person that loves to run around here now:-)

TAKE A LOOK FOR YOURSELF at some of us:

These restrictions don't apply to us? We SPEED and use our cellphones when we run:-).

Not many people understand what it is to be a runner. 
Most people run simply to improve health or to lose weight.
I admit, that's why I started the training, too.

You begin training!  It's hard!  It hurts!  It gets harder! It take time and commitment.....but suddenly you start changing!!!!!

Yes, your body may be changing!  Yes, you may be losing weight and/or gaining muscles. Yes, the runs are starting to get easier.  Yes, it's not too much to challenge yourself with something a bit harder (longer run? faster run?).  You are changing!!!

But a real runner usually begins to change in many other ways, too......in ways that they were not expected or anticipated.  The mental and spiritual training is very often overlooked.  But the mental and spiritual aspect is what got me hooked on running and what has kept me running!  You all are CHANGING!!!  And I can see that it's much more than just the physical change!!! What a joy and privilege it is to run with you!!!

It's been a joy to see all these new runners CHANGING!

Girls----this is really amazing! These times are times I didn't accomplish this quick or early!!!  AMAZING!!!!!

MidWeek Runs----Take it easy this week.  Try to take at least a day off to rest and perhaps try to do something DIFFERENT this week....like a Funky Fit, Yoga, RIPPED, or SPIN Class.  Or maybe go for a light jog or a walk.  Keep it light if you choose to do anything on Tuesday or Wednesday.
