All right, who's ready for 2.5 miles? That's our length this Saturday, the sixth week of training. For the second week in a row, you will have the option of going out on the road. So again, please pay attention to traffic and stoplights, and stick with your fellow runners/walkers/trekkers. We'll be in pace groups, but you are allowed to go forward or drop back to other groups if need be. As always, the track is open if you feel more comfortable there.
We've got lots of speakers this week: Dr. Dearing Johns, who specializes in cardiovascular medicine at UVa, and sports psychology consultant Sharon Petro. They will discuss heart health -- a critical topic as heart disease is the NO. 1 killer of women in the country.
Also, at 7:15 a.m., we'll have a second "breakout" session at the stretching area with ACAC Pilates instructor (and Pink Lady) Nicole Yarbrough, who will demonstrate Pilates (see post below). Bring your towel with you.
Finally, we'll have training program T-shirts on sale again for $10. We've already seen a couple around town -- good for runner solidarity, and they benefit the breast cancer research cause. And this is the third -- and last -- week for the running shoe stores to fit you at the track. This is strongly recommended -- take advantage! And I'll see you out there.
