The new session – “Train to Trot” started today at Luke’s Locker. We have some new people onboard and everyone seems really nice. Joan gave her intro speech and the “oldies” (all of us who have been in Joan’s group for ages) kept Joan on her toes! I think that she’s used to us but hopefully it made the new runners feel more relaxed about joining us.
Today’s run was 20 minutes out and 20 minutes back. I was too fast for the walk/run and the walk only groups but not fast enough to join the runners. I am missing my friends Kathryn and Connie today because I didn’t have someone to run with! I really don’t like doing the 1 or 2 minute run then 1 minute walk routine. It was too hot and humid as usual and it doesn’t seem like the hot weather is going to end anytime soon. Near the end of my run I caught up with the walkers and I grabbed two of them and made them run with me. One of the girls has been with us for several sessions so I knew she could run and a new guy David seemed to want to try to run too. We ran about 1/3 of a mile and then the girl dropped out but David continued with me. I think he was surprised when I told him that we actually ran about ½ mile!!
