Winter Running Group | Join Today!

We are kicking off a 20 week training group this coming week.  You will have access to our running plan that prepares you for a half marathon in February 2016.  Most running plans are 12-16 weeks long so even if you don't join us this coming week there is still time to join.  We will be meeting once a week as a group where we will review form, log some miles and perform running drills.  If you cannot meet with us in person we can still meet via Facetime and/or Skype. In addition, you will see progress weekly as we participate in a private Facebook group to keep each other motivated and on track with our training plan.

Our first week of training will begin with a 2 mile run/jog/walk depending on your current training level.  We will determine your tempo run pace and share some yoga moves to help incorporate yoga into your weekly routine.  We will use MapMyRun to log our miles and share with our training team.  Check out this video of some great skipping drills we will perform when we meet.

All levels are welcome and encouraged to join.

A Cold Winter’s Day Success Story

After last month’s half marathon I set a goal to run my fastest 5k at this year’s Cold Winter’s Day 5k in Columbia, SC.  I love setting stretch goals and after last year’s PR I knew it would be tough.  I am happy to tell you I met my goal and set a new personal best record.

My past month’s goals and training turned into much more than I ever expected.  I was able to share my love of the sport of running with my family.  We have participated in several 5k road races together over the past couple of years, but this one was different.  My “I’m not-a-runner” wife, Katie, has been training hard and was actually looking forward to this race as much as me.  Of course I was pleased when I reached my goal and set a new record, but I was even more pleased when Katie shaved 3:00 minutes off her previous best time.  It was great to see her actually enjoy the event and reach her own personal goals.  She might even consider calling herself a "runner" soon.

In addition to my wife’s success, I got to celebrate my middle son’s achievement of 2^nd place in his 10 & under age group, my youngest son’s exceptional finish and I was able to share the podium with my neighbor as we took 2nd and 3rd in our age group.  I am a proud husband, dad and neighbor!
