I do that too (post to make sure I go). Let us know if you did the session!

Not long and the sun will return in the mornings. I'm looking forward to it!

Let us know how the races go. I've got a 10km on Sunday, but I re-injured myself on Monday... It's not looking good but I this will be history soon. I am going to see a chiropodist next Friday.

Finished the 5k in 25:27 39th overall 7th in age group.. I'm in a good place right now with my base..time to notch it up a little...

Good job! What is your goal 5km time?

Right now my fastest 5km was 31:30 and my goal is to finish in the 20's.

I would have like to finished in 24 flat with a 8:00 min/mile average but I'm on track so I can't complain especially since last year I wasn't even running due to the knee surgery.. And my garmin had the distance at 3.14miles breakdown as follows:

mile 1 7:59  mile 2 8:15  mile 3 8:16 last.14 mile 6:49

Overall a good run/and good workout..

Don't worry about doing it on your own, chances are you're all different paces and wouldn't miss each other anyway.

I did my race on Sunday and my feet were well behaved! However, I tripped on the boardwalk 1/3 into the race and scrapped up my knees and ankle. Haha... Gave me something to laugh about for the duration of the race.

Great! Small progressions and focusing on technique will get you through your first race! Have you been chatting in the beginning swimming program forum?

Here is a great goal setting article!

mbasta - 2011-03-29 8:11 AM We're approaching the end of the winter mentor program. How is everyone feeling about their training and goals? Feel free to add me and the other team members on your BT friend list!

OK, I'm back. Kinda..... Life interfered with BT time..... Um. When does the mentor program end? Like at the end of the month? Training: Eh. It's nonexistent still. But I am feeling better, at least. Hope to do a 5K next month. Goals: Eh. Going to take it slowly, so I don't hack my lungs out. But the weather is getting better, and that's a good thing.

Sorry that you've been sick for so long. At least you're recovering for spring!

This round is over at the end of March, next round starts in April. I am thinking about doing it but I need to weigh my responsibilities... I have a course starting on April 18 and there will hopefully be a job change in my nearish future. If not a change definitely serious looking.

Hello everyone..I did a run yesterday that was interesting had a warmup then 2 times 2 miles with 6 minute recovery in between sets then a cooldown..Here is a breakdown:

Warmup 10.22 min/mile average .99 mile

2 miles at 7:58 pace

6 minutes walking

2 miles 8:25 pace then I walked and easy ran for a cooldown.

Total distsnce 6.20 miles 57:31 time

This was a great workout looking forward to doing it again and try to beat my times..

Hope all is well with everyone and keep pushing forward...

I have been following those dog threads too! It's scary. I wrote on my to do list "pepper spray" for protection from animals and humans, but use of any kind of aerosol on a person in Canada can equal 3 years in prison regardless of the circumstances...

So, I went for a hike on Monday (after I wrote this to do list) and my husband and I were "greeted" by a very peeved very large dog. The Bruce Trail runs through people's properties at some points and we were on this leash less dogs turf. My husband wants pepper spray now too. We were SO LUCKY that the woman who owns the place wasn't too far behind him, but it took a scary amount of time to get him under control and she had to basically hold him down while we passed through.

It was so scary. I was looking for a climbable tree before it was restrained.

We did a pretty good job retaining team members this season. Including myself we have 9 people who posted in March/April. I think we started out with about 15 or so, but I was told some people would disappear.

Is there anything else I can help with? What changes would you suggest in future mentor groups? I think in the future I will come up with a predetermined weekly theme and give a little information/resources for it.

Thanks so much for giving your time and being a mentor. You, and everyone else on the board, were very helpful to me...and never made my questions seem stupid. I don't have any suggestions for change, really. For me, as a total newbie, what was really useful was having you all here to ask questions about the details. What to wear, what's a good training program, how to handle derailments... I feel much better going into this than I did at beginning of January. Good luck to everyone and hope to see you on the boards. You never know, we may even run into (bad pun) each other in real life at some point. Thank you all so much!!
