Tuesday the MIA day!

Today, was the day I couldn't be there for my group. I have posted on our fb group the following: "Well, here's the deal I got to become the leader of Moms Run This Town Winter Garden/Oakland Chapter a little over a month now, and today I encountered my first MIA; hey! things happen and to be honest this might not be the first and/or the last time it happens, so..... I am looking for a co-leader, if you are available, interested and pretty much committed to yourself in coming out Tuesdays and Thursdays; the position is yours! Please, contact me so we can get our brains together and make you "official" with the National MRTT organization. Hello? Anyone? :)" Thankful for Lindsey and Brandi that came out and did their work out. I was able to fit a little run close by my home, but I missed doing the run with the group. Please plan on coming out on Thursday, hope the 6:00pm works for everyone, today I experienced running away from the darkness!

Thursday Meet

Thank you Devyn , Lisa and Jennifer for coming out! we had a great workout! Got to run with Devyn and have a nice chat. Let's do it again sometime.

Tuesday Run

weather predicted by weather.com announced bad weather, and yes at around 3 it was rainy and gusty! I posted on our group that the run was on hold..then Lisa texted me that her and Jennifer were not coming, a message from Lindsey that if the weather was bad she couldn't come (she had little Tay with her) didn't hear from anyone else, so when the rain stopped, and hubby got home, I decided to go give it a try, in case the rain was coming back, at least I would get some miles in. To my surprise the earlier rain had caused refreshing winds, so I ran from oakland towards Winter Garden downtown and back, it was perfect! the skies overcast, the breeze gentle and swift... got my 6 Miles in in a record time, my only stop... the picture says where and why. today, I look forward to see you ladies and get our run done, rain or shine :) Happy Running! Silvia

Thursday Run

Yikes! it was hot! but we got it done, no excuses. Learned (after 2 years) how to set up my Garmin for interval runs , thank you Lindsey! Lauren, I will bring crumpets for our next tea (just kidding, too much sugar) thankful for the run together and the chat. It was nice. Let's do it again! I will be posting total milage from all of us... seeing the total, does something.. like... yes! we can do this! let's go further! let's go faster! let's just go! :) Total for this week 19.52

Tuesday Track

This was my official first track coached run; while I've been on a track before.... mind you had no idea about track etiquette... yesterday... after 2+ years of running, finally "got it!" Thank you forever Miriam for being so kind and showing me how to work the track :) "Tell me, I'll forget Show me, I'll remember Involve me, I'll understand" Did 2x400 for warm up and 6x400 with 100's rest intervals and 2x400 cool down Trust me I slept very well last night :) I was expecting to be a little sore today ( different muscles are used during these sprint runs), but to my surprise, I'm fine :) looking forward to keeping the track tuesday workouts, hope you can join next time.

update August 16th, 2012, my legs started to hurt last night :( so, yes I do feel the speed muscles, yes, I'll probably go "easier" next time. silvia

3.3 Miler Trail Run

The weather channel, and the radar on the phone promised thunderstorms, and they delivered... well, the thunder and lightning. Thankful it was at the very end of our run. No track this Thursday, decided to go straight on the trail, which I honestly enjoy more (not too used to the repetitiveness of the track...one day I'll turn into that kind of a runner) Thank you Lauren, Lindsey, Brandi, Jennifer and Lisa with Carson and Shelby, for coming out to run :)

Tuesday Meet

We did 4.40 miles, the weather wasn't promising, but thankful it was just lots of clouds (no sun!) a little drizzle getting close to where we parked. Ready for tomorrow's run. Lauren, thank you for being there :) enjoyed the run and tea

3.5 Thursday Meet

Yes, for a total of 7.5 Mi ran by Moms Run This Town! We even got to do a couple of laps at the Lakeview Middle School's track.
Future plan is to add speed work! so make sure to come and benefit from it, it doesn't matter how fast or how slow, it will make us faster :)
Happy Running!
