Congrats to our half marathoners!

Amy and Chuck kicked some hilly butt up in San Francisco Sunday. Chuck finished his first half marathon in a very nice 2:16, and Amy set a substantial new PR, knocking five or six minutes off of her previous best with a 2:19.

Predictions: Chuck runs the 3M half marathon in January in 2:07, Amy runs it in under 2:10.

For the rest of us, keep running - focus on getting 3-4 runs a week in, even if it's only 3-4 miles at a time (4-5 would be even better).

Those of you that are not confident of your ability to run any distance right now, I think I might set up some Monday runs to work specifically with you. Anyone is welcome to come to any of the runs, and I can tailor the workout to your more specific needs.

In September, we start training in earnest, so be deciding on what your goals are!

Thanks! It was great. You may want to note or not note that my friend Rick ran in 2:05. I have no idea how since he was injured and had not run in 4 weeks, let alone ever 13 miles. All of us (including Rick) thought we would be passing him injured or exhausted at mile 4. Not quite.
