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....

Day After Thanksgiving, 2011

 JUST DO IT!  Even when there is frost on the track...

Starting to Run Again - Thanksgiving, 2011

Lesa posted a Turkey Run/Walk on Facebook so I decided to show up!  Well, Jodie did, too and when she learned I would be "starting from scratch" to run again, Jodie said "I'm in!".  Lesa, Jodie and I had a fun walk/run...albeit COLD!  Lesa had to run at the end to keep warm...

Couch to 5K Still On...Meeting Saturday Mornings at 8:00 a.m. @ FHS Track

Mary, Steve, Laura and now Dolores have been "regulars" on the track on Saturday mornings.  All are welcome to come and walk or run or get some track interval training in.  This is a starting point for anyone who wants to a.) move their bodies on a Saturday morning or b.) learn how to gauge your minute/mile pace.

Saturday, August 14, 2010 - Mary and Steve

Mary and Donna posing after our track workout - we ran the straight-aways at 80% and walked the corners - making sure we could talk throughout the running portion.  Mary felt great and so did I - not pain in my knee.  We stretched and hydrated often.  Come join us Saturday, August 7th at 8:00 a.m. at the Franklin High School Track!
