Hellyer Park: June 15 Update

I have completed my first whole week of TNT.

Tuesday we had a work out at the Los Gatos High School track where we did a little relay and a core workout. Probably ran about 2-3 miles.

Thursday was our Buddy Run. The Buddy Run each week is with a smaller group of people at one of six locations throughout the area. I chose to run the downtown Guadalupe Creek Trail. We ran 4 miles in just under an hour. I used the run/walk technique of 5-1.

Sunday I ran my longest distance ever- 5 miles. This only took a few minutes over an hour, and we used the 4-1 technique.

I was a bit crazy this weekend because I worked Grave all week, got off work at 6:30 a.m. Sunday and ran 5 miles then attend the Wafflefest. I got home and slept for 1 hour, then had to be at work at 3:30 p.m. After being awake for more than 34 hours and running 5 miles, I slept a whopping 14 hours! I am really bummed this week I will miss Track and my weekend long run with the group due to my work schedule.

Los Gatos Creek Trail: June 6 Update

Today was the first day of training - and it was a "long run" of 4 miles at 7 a.m.
Marc (http://pages.teamintraining.org/sj/nikesf09/mcarden9dp) and I arrived early at the Los Gatos High School track. I had to work grave the night before- so this was an "evening" run for me.

We both ran 4 miles on the Los Gatos Creek Trail.  After the run, we listened to an Honoree speak about his battle with cancer and how the funds from LLS helped to find a new treatment which has lead him into remission for 3 years! I met many new friends today and even though I have blisters on both feet - I can't wait till Tuesday for another training session.
