We've Started Running

Welcome, 2008 San Diego Marathon Team! We now have 14 members, they're all strong, all motivated, and all very, very enthusiastic! I'm really proud to work with such fabulous runners. The Team is: Leigh, Jennifer, Stacey, Betsy, Nicole, Michelle, Yolanda, Dalisha, Tiffany, Tien, Beth, Michele, Edwin and Trish. Welcome!!

Most of the Team was able to come out for our first group run on Tuesday. We ran from Erin's house and did two miles. It was a new route for Erin and I and lo' and behold, there were hills! Big ones. Ones I don't especially want to play with. . . . but the Team killed it! We even had a few spectators that came out in their yards or were walking. I think one man from Erin's neighborhood was especially entertained by all those pretty ladies running around in the early evening hours. Go Team!

Tonight is our shoe clinic at Shaw's. Dr. Shaw and his staff will watch us walk and put us into the very best running shoes for our feet. Afterward we will go eat at Po' Boys, our unofficial TNT watering hole. We do love our food. . . . that's why we do this, right? Right!

Saturday the Team will be running in our first 5k, Run for the Cookies. Yes, there really are cookies at the end. . . Girl Scout Cookies! This is a fun run, its a flat course and this weekend promises to be beautiful and sunny. For the Team Members that don't feel up to running in a race yet, we'll be running our 3 miles at 10:30 a.m. at Southwood. We'll see you there!!

GO TEAM!
