I had a great run along the Scott Pierson Trail in Tacoma. I ran for 60 minutes - my longest run so far. But they will be getting longer every week. Bring it on! I'm noticing that the longer runs really feel great. It gives me a chance to just focus on the run and not on cares and troubles; the thoughts flow.
And I got to take home Goofy - our team mascot. Each week someone gets to bring him home; add a little something to his outfit; and bring him back to pass on to someone who, in their opinion, has team spirit. I'm not sure what I'll do. Two of our coaches, Jason and Anna, announced that they are expecting their first baby. Congratulations to them!! I'm thinking Goofy may need a pacifier or something.....
Update: I think I might be on to something. Henry Thoreau was pretty smart and he said "Methinks that the moment my legs began to move, my thoughts began to flow." I like that.
"The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start." - John Bingham, runner and author. A miracle is about to start - I am training to run my first marathon on November 28, 2010 at the Amica Seattle Marathon. I will be running in memory of my brother-in-law,Bob Price. This blog is to record and share the ongoing adventure of my training. For more info about Team In Training or to donate click the link on the right.
