trial 5k

Good morning! Hope you've had a great week.

This Monday we meet at 630 at Hope HS. We'll be doing a short warm up and the body looseners, and then a trial 5k. I will be creating a route which will begin and end at the Hope track. The goal is for everyone to experience the distance, and to realize that it's entirely possible to go the entire way.

Please pay attention to the weather, dress for it and hydrate through the afternoon. I suggest not eating anything (or at least very light) for the two hours before. I'll have water and some snacks for after the run.

See you all very soon! (We're in DC right now on our way to an apartment decision!)

Happy Sunday!

Looks like we'll have a beautiful day tomorrow for our first session together! We'll meet at the Hope High track at 6pm. The plan is to do introductions, a bit of a warm up, and then video taping of everyone's form. We'll then start working on posture and alignment, run a bit more, I'll share a whole ton of mantras for while you're running...and we'll plan for the next week!

Also, it'll be a week or two before we need metronomes, and I need to order some, so tomorrow night I'll take a count of how many I need to order. Finally, registration for the 5k looks to be entirely up and running here: http://www.active.com/running/bristol-ri/colt-state-park-5k-2010..

See you tomorrow!
