Let the training begin! :) For our first week, we had a 'shoe clinic' at Luke's Locker in Colleyville to learn about the proper fit for running shoes, and the nice folks there fitted me with a snazzy new pair of Brooks Glyercin running shoes, woohoo! We also had a 'walk clinic' with Coach Anna, who explained that the proper race walking posture should feel something like holding a quarter between your cheeks (who knew)! CUTLER UPDATE: As of yesterday (2/8) CUTLER IS FINALLY HOME again, two months after his bone marrow transplant on 12/2!!! Thank you, God!
TRAINING UPDATE: 2 miles was a piece of cake, whew! So far so good. I will brag just a tiny bit... if I hadn't stopped to tighten my shoe laces and chat at the water jug, I would've been the 1st one back instead of the 3rd! :) Much different than last time. My pace was right at a 10-minute mile. Yay!
FUNDRAISING UPDATE: Only 1 week into the season, and you've already helped me raise $1,895!!! AMAZING! Thank you all so much! My group even won the coveted Golden Shoe award because of our impressive fundraising results! :)
