This morning we had our first Group Training Session at the Big Peach in Brookhaven. There was an apparel and footwear clinic at 8am (ahhh, getting up that early on a Saturday really cramps my style!) that was really interesting. Although I already got fitted at Big Peach for a new pair of running shoes, it was nice to learn about the mechanics of running and how it all fits together. The guy giving the clinic said something that kind of terrified me .... now that we've taken the first step in running a 1/2 marathon that we're OFFICIALLY runners! I've always deep down wanted to be a runner, or really even just athetic in some capability, but now I guess this is it! haha! At least I'm getting to look the part and wear cute workout clothes!
We did a 2 mile run/walk this morning and it went really well! I went with a smaller group of people, all really nice, and in addition to good exercise there was good conversation! I really think I'm going to enjoy being in a group and having a group of people to see on a regular basis! I'm pumped for this event and while I may not necessarily look forward to the training and hard work, I'm looking forward to crossing that finish line with new friends and a few steps closer to finding a cure for Crohn's and Colitis!
