June 28th - Hill & Speed Work

Our next meeting will be on June 28th and we will be doing hill & speed work. We will probably meet at a different location, so make sure to check back for details.

Check out this article for a fun looking 5K. It's sold out for this year but may be one to add for the calendar next year.

I finally have a GPS for running - I've been actively searching craigslist for a used 205 or 305 and got a great deal on a 305 - although it's essentially a 205 because it didn't come with the heart monitor stuff. I have to admit that I love gadgets and this one in particular is awesome. I love that I can know what my pace is in real time. I was surprised at how slow I run up the hill on Mine Road, but I was also thrilled to see how fast I run down Northampton. I'm also looking forward to being able to run a trail and know how far I've gone - always tricky to figure that out when you can't do the mileage with your car. :)

Get out and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Blessings,
Karen

June 14th - Next Run

It's hot! Too hot for the faint at heart to run. Hopefully it will cool off by next Saturday. I wimped out of running this morning - it was foggy and I was genuinely concerned about safety - but I think the humidity probably had a little more influence.
