Well, its hard to believe that January is here and gone. The Spring Teams for the Northern NJ Chapter of Team in Training have now been training for two full months and everyone is doing great. Every week new mileage milestones are being achieved and its easy to remember back to the days when I was the one hitting those new levels.
That is one of the reasons I love running and try and encourage as many people as I can to give it a try...in what other sport can you enter a race as a new participant and run the same course as world class athletes? We all want to run as fast as we can and get better with each run and race....but in reality we are only out there running against ourselves...face it none of us is likely to win an Olympic Gold medal or the $130,000.00 first prize in NYC or Boston....its all about reaching that new goal...a new PR in a 5K.....running a double digit training run...finishing a half or full marathon.
Happy Trails...its a beautiful day for a run

Hey Bill...thanks for the blog! Great thoughts all, hope you are feeling better. I'm following the half marathon training schedule, and have a ? - Why would our training have a run/walk day during the week if we're training to run?
I had written a long explanation but being a techno-phobe...I lost the post....so here is the short answer.........the training plans are guides...if you don't need to walk during that specific run DON'T....thats great that you don't need to do a run/walk and the goal is for everyone to eliminate the run/walk (among the runners- obviously those who are training to run/walk will contiue to train that way) as their training progresses...if you have any questions speak to one of the coaches
