Braving The Elements

A hearty group of 14 showed up on Sunday Jan 14 for the second of many group runs. After tearing ourselves from our warm cars, we gathered around for some quick introductions, a touching mission moment from Tracy and some general comments on training at this early stage of the season. The goal of the run was for everyone to get in a solid 45-50 minute run. For some, this equated to a tad over 5 miles. For others, a tad less than 5 miles. The important thing this early on in the season is that everyone finished within a few minutes of each other and was able to cool down as a group! Our post run discussions included upcoming clinics, mentor-led runs, etc. The next group run is on 1/28, 8AM at the Rocky River Reservation.

Team In Training Summer 2007 - 1/14/07 - Station Road Bridge

Happy New Year

What do Team In Training participants do on New Years Eve? Run 4-miles of course! OK, so our group run only accounted for a small portion of the day. We can still be proud of our accomplishment and in getting a head start on the new year! By 8:30 AM, we were heading north on the Ohio & Erie Canal towpath trail in what turned out to be great running weather for this time of year. An hour or so later, our run was under our belt and thoughts of pork and saurkraut took over!

Hopefully everyone is feeling great about what we're setting out to do in 2007! Take time to revel in your daily accomplishments and be proud to be part of the Team In Training family!

TNT Kickoff Celebration!

It was nice to meet everyone at the kickoff on Saturday morning! As you saw, you are not alone in your quest to raise funds, train through the winter, tackle a half or full marathon, etc.

One of the most important things to getting the most out of winter running is having the right equipment, starting with your shoes. This Thursday (12/14), Jody will be putting on a shoe clinic at Fleet Feet in Northfield starting at 6:30PM (click here for directions). He can also show you a variety of clothing options that will have you running comfortably on those chilly winter days. You will receive a 15% Team In Training discount with your purchase.
