Group Training

Those first few kilometers can oftentimes seem laborious at best, particularly in the cold. However, when you get beyond that....that is my favourite time during a run. When you get beyond the swirling thoughts....your own body questioning what you are asking of it, then the real fun begins. Sometimes that never arrives during a run. Sometimes, you never allow yourself to relax, to stop questioning, to get lost in the fun. But if you have experienced it before, you know that that time exists, and is worth continuing for. That is what happened to me last night during a cold run.....I was able to get lost in the conversation, the great company and just be pleased to be out there! I have been so fortunate in my running career to have great running buddies who help pull me, sometimes even drag me, through those tough spots. THANK YOU - you know who you are!

Nothing compares to a group run to energize me on the coldest or messiest of days. Our 16 week half marathon group training program will begin the week of Feb. 8th. Sign up! See what the group can do for you! I promise it will be a great experience! Register at Muskoka Fitness or email me for more info!
