The Last Saturday in February, 2012 - Yay!

I thought these conditions were going to be the worst of the season - 24 degrees and WINDY so the track turned to ice.  Couldn't even walk on the track so I stayed on the grass.  All alone - no surprise given the weather and the New England flu and cold season.

I visited the older pictures on this blog and found one of my favorites below:  3 of my bestest friends crossing the finish line of the SheROX tri in Webster, MA in August of 2010 - pretty sure.

It's reminder to me that summer will come again and I can see the thrill of accomplishment on each of their faces!

Losing Track of the exact dates but we're "Running Through the Non-Snowy Winter!!!"

December 17, 2011 Our Group is Growing...

 Welcome Mary and Angela!  Pictured above with Lesa and Jodie....even the Christmas plays didn't keep us from our Saturday morning workout.

Mary, Angela, Jodie and Donna.  Everyone has personal goals...mine was to run one continuous mile after knee surgery.  Mission accomplished!!!  How silly, but I haven't done that in 2 years....am just NOT ready to hang up the running shoes.  If you're thinking of joining us - now is the time as we will start to build up the miles.

I post pictures for encouragement as there is nothing like "THE POWER OF THE GROUP".  I also TAKE the pictures at the end of the workout - and never have to ask folks to smile as they are already smilin!

If you want to join in...we meet at the Franklin High School Track on Saturday mornings at 7 a.m.  JUST DO IT!

December 10, 2011 Keepin' the momentum going!

 Donna and Jodie - getting out for a brisk morning run/walk....
