We have an enthusiastic group of women ready to start the 2012 half-marathon training! We met for the first time yesterday, and after explaining the program and answering questions, we headed out for our first 3 mile group walk/run. I love seeing a line of women stretching down Richville Road, and it's great to see women greeting past training partners and meeting new friends.
We are, as usual, a diverse group:
- we live in Landgrove, Manchester, Jamaica, Dorset, Stratton Mountain, Sunderland, Bennington, Bondville, Shaftsbury, Pawlet
- our ages range from 15 - 70+
- some women have completed 5K's, 10K's, half-marathons
- this is the first race of any distance for several women!
- women join the group for exercise, health, company, develop running skills, accountability, lose weight, motivation, fitness, and for fun and friendship!
I always get energerized with a new training group, and yesterday was no exception. April 1st, here we come!
