2010 Training Season Kick-Off

Hi Run Mel Run Followers!

It's been a while since I've posted anything and now it's time to start up again. Plus, so much has happened since my last post.

Yesterday marked the first day of my 2010 Training Season. I feel like it took forever for today to come. After running in the San Jose Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon, I kept running on a sporadic basis with Marie, Silvia and Paula. After the holidays came and went, I was literally counting down the days to January 23rd.

I was excited to start running again. I was even more excited to start coaching! That's right, I'm a coach now. I coach the group on Monday nights. Oh, and there's something else. I'm training for my FIRST FULL MARATHON!!!!!!!

The training group was a lot smaller than I had expected probably because it was cold and rainy. There were still a lot of runners though. We took a nice easy run from Sports Basement Presidio to the Hopper's Hands underneath the Golden Gate Bridge and back.


It started drizzling on our way back, but it wasn't too bad at all. It felt nice actually. We congratulated the newbies, saw them off and grabbed our new Pacer shirts. But, how could I leave without stopping by one of my favorite stores ever - SPORTS BASEMENT? How could I pass up a 20% discount on new gear? I scored a new jacket with a built-in blinky light, running skirt, tights, and of course, some brand new kicks to make their debut during our first Monday night run!


Well, I'm off to enjoy the rest of my Sunday. Keep checking back for updates about the training season.
