What a great start to our training for the 2010 San Antonio Rock 'n' Roll Marathon and 1/2 Marathon! We had 40 trainees at Saturday's kickoff party. Overall, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and are excited about the challenge ahead.
Remember that there will be two training sessions, so please don't confuse the two. Both take place every Tuesday and Thursday, but with different start times and different start dates.
'Advanced training," which are those that timed 8, 9 and 10-minute miles, start Tuesday, June 8. Meet at the UIW Track (where we gathered for the kickoff party) at 5:45 a.m. Also, if you plan to attend, e-mail Lisa at lisas@uiwtx.edu or text message her. Her phone number is in the e-mail that you received today.
The other training is for all levels and it starts Tuesday, June 28 at 5:45 p.m. That doesn't mean you can't already begin some training on your own though. Some of us have agreed to meet at least once a week at UIW to take a walk so that we can start getting our legs/feet/bodies use to exercising! (if you want to do this too, e-mail me).
The official training schedule is posted here: TRAINING SCHEDULE.
We'll post pictures on the blog throughout the week.
Thanks,
