Wednesday - January 27, 2010

Had a good day running. Managed to get in about 4.5 today. Doing pretty good this month on mileage but I'm not sure if I'll hit the 150 mile mark or not. I was hoping to, but not sure.

I'm still having a lot of kids to show up for the after school running program. I can really see their progress. I did have a talk with them today about not "buddy running." I'm finding they get with a friend and if the friend wants to walk they do to even though they may not need to. So, during our run today I saw many "lonely" runners...lol

I stressed the importance of running "your" race and not the race of your friend and how you'll never get better if you don't push yourself beyond your comfort level...within reason of course. So, guess I'll see tomorrow what they remember.

Great to hear that you work with kids and running. It is the best feeling to watch them at the finish line isn't it. :0)
