I have been invited to participate in a 10K training program sponsored by Runner's World. Unfortunately, the program meets on nights when I already have commitments, so I can't join. Very sad about that but decided to go to the kick-off meeting tonight anyway to meet the folks from Runner's World, see a friend I knew would be there, and check out the new Foot Locker RUN store in Union Square, where the meeting was held.
So, running is starting to get social... I met some great people from the magazine, as well as friends of my friend. The coaches leading the team spoke for a few minutes and I felt horrible pangs of regret that I wouldn't be training with them. They talked about analyzing our gait, strength training, mental preparation... All the stuff I need help with now. I would like to learn from them. I wonder if I should switch the rest of my life around.
Afterwards, my friend and I hung out nibbling on the fruit and veggie platter, talking about chafing, and shopping with the 25% discount the store gave us for the night. It's good to be on the inside; and it's good not to be doing this alone anymore. I'm ready to be with people. I honestly never thought I would say that.
No running today. Still tired from two days of long runs over the weekend. Lots of working out will be happening tomorrow! Then I must rest for my 10K race on Saturday.
