"Whether you believe you can or believe you can't, you're probably right."
-Henry Ford
It was freezing this morning and our group was bigger than ever :) We even had three teenagers join us - in the cold - in the early morning. The sky couldn't have been much bluer. We were also honored to get to run with Prince Whatley and Ken Harkless - both amazing coaches and incredible people.
It's cold from here on out and our long runs are getting longer - and our friendships stronger - and we CAN do this. Today was our first 7 miles, more than halfway to our half marathon distance. Today I ran with Deneen (sp?) and her two wonderful daughters and they ran 7 miles for the first time ever - I hope they are still smiling because I am!
Remember to dress in layers - stay away from cotton. Get gloves. Get a hat. Get moving. You'll warm up :)
Next weekend there are two options: One is the Jingle Bell 5k for Arthritis, Saturday at Underwook Park. Two is a 7-miler beginning at Children's Hospital, heading up to Vulcan and back down into downtown. For the Children's Hospital run we'll need to stick together, we do some off road sneaking around. There are some great hills and a fantastic view of the city to be had.
To see the route check out http://runkeeper.com/user/samaru/route/211778 - we'll add two miles on once we are back downtown.
You guys are amazing! We missed you Felicia!
PEACE - Hilary
