Today is the official beginning!
Only 16weeks, 6 days and 13 hours till the big day!
Today I was able to join my Sunday pacing group and got to know other racers on our team. It is such an awesome experience to run with others who have run 30 races, 10 and those of us who are first timers!
Today I started with a challenge and set myself in the 9:30 pace group. It was a 6 mile path today, began in a bit of rain but ended with sunshine and humidity! Something to start getting used to as summer training approaches. I have to say there is something amazing about completing a 6mile run before 8:00 a.m. Energized for the whole day!
All in all, what an awesome start to the official training season. I am already looking forward to next week and all I have to learn from everyone in our group.
Here is a before and after shot from todays run.
Before: 6:00 a.m. 69 degrees and pouring rain
After: 8:00 a.m. 73 degrees and 89% humidity
