1. I finally got a running coach. Coach Sara will be working with me on my three goals: 1) Run a sub-2 half marathon; 2) PR at the Chicago Marathon; and 3) Qualify for the Boston Marathon. I have a LONG way to go for #3 but I know I can do it.
Why a running coach? Well, I’ve been running for quite a number of years and haven’t made much improvement. I’ve followed different plans but it looks like they’re not working for me. Obviously I am doing something wrong. I know last year I went a “little” crazy and ran many races. Well, now it is time to get more serious with my running and hopefully achieve goals #1 and #2 this year.
2) I have been selected as an ambassador for the Fort2Base race on August 24. I ran this race last year and liked it a lot. There are two distances to choose from: 3 Nautical Mile (3.45 miles) and 10 Nautical Mile (11.5 miles). Please use discount code 2014F2BARROYO10 for a 10% off either distance.
3. How to be an Asshole Blogger in 5 Easy Steps is HILARIOUS!! Love it! There I said it. I admit it.
Woo hoo for coaches! I never thought about this before, but running coaches are kind of like therapists (lol, hear me out) – they look at what we are doing and point out what we don’t see and guide us. Good luck! Sara coached you for the 50K as well, right?
Yay F2B! I ran it the inaugural year and really enjoyed it. I wish they’d move it back to September though. Even though that is a super busy month for races… I don’t typically race much in August. Too hot. LOL.
Yes Sara also coached me for the 50K. I am excited to work with her again. I am meeting her this evening for 4×400 workouts.
Play it by ear for the F2B. I’ve heard that it will be a cool summer so hopefully it won’t be too hot on race day.
You rocked those 400’s tonight, Zenaida! You are on your way to achieving your goals. So excited to be on this journey with you!
Aww thanks!! 👏😄
