7 miles down!

Hi Everyone!
Saturday we had yet another group run at Stony Creek. Full marathoners (which I am) did 7 miles! Seven miles! Can you believe it?! For those of you that are not familiar with Stony Creek, one loop around is 6 miles. It just seems a little on the crazy side to do an entire loop and then keep going. I guess I'll be doing more and more of that as the months go by.
It was a pretty good run/walk. We had a different leader for that session. And man was he a drill Sergeant! I know that's what we need and what this training group is all about but I wasn't to happy with him on Saturday. Just kidding! We've been training in intervals with time. We'll walk for 2 or 3 minutes and then jog for 2 or 3. He wanted us to go by distance. Distance! That would mean I'd actually have to be able to jog a distance in the first place! We're getting there. I know that this is the way most people start out and as long as I keep practicing I'll get better each time.
Thanks to the coaches that kick our butts every Saturday, we need it!

Keep checking on me...
