We had a great training session and it all started at 8am... We met some of our mentee's for the first time and I have to say each and every one of my mentees is awesome!!! Most of them are new to running and are taking on this great journey to support LLS.
We started our training session today with a lot of talking and information regarding our honorree Sarah, she is a cute little 9 year old that is going on 4 years of remission... She is amazing! Off on our run we went and it was a fun 6 miles to start off with... Ok, so not everyone went 6 miles but most of the group stuck with 2-3 miles for their first go around... I however, who just came off of running a marathon on 1/14 and then another half marathon on 1/21 which ended up in 21 grueling miles... was SO ready for 6 miles... I ran with some of my mentee's to start but then I had to drop back as 8 min pace was SO not doing it for me!!! I couldn't hang for the full 6 miles at that pace and needed to step down to my own level... We always forget that one major stepping stone that it isn't about who you can keep up with it's about who you are most comfortable running with. I had the joy of seeing my boys out on the course for the water stations and they had a great time!!! They really liked handing out the water to the runners and just had fun with it...
After our lovely run a few of us on the team headed over to the Potato Shack and had a great breakfast... It was delicious!
More to come next week... Next training session 2/10
