Welcome Florida and Arizona Heritage Classic Training Participants!
Welcome to everyone in Arizona and Florida. Who's ready to start this 5k training? Are you trying to get a personal "best" time with your 5k OR are you trying out your first 5k ever and just want to finish? I'd love to hear from you.
Ready! We are getting pumped here in FL for the race! First time ever we are having it here in FL. Participants are excited that strollers are welcome on the course and that we will be able to have the route on our campus as it is a beautiful, green campus! Can't wait to train with you! My family and I had a great walk last night. My kids LOVED the toy soldier part of the warm up!

Very excited for Florida and Arizona to get started up. Awesome that you are getting your family involved in this activity. Teach when they're young. Thank you for sharing.

I am starting early I live in Eau Claire because I may need a little more time for it. This will be my first time running since I had a ORIF knee surgery 2 summers ago.. Time will tell if I run the marathon again, I just need to get off the couch and get moving.
Great idea, Sherry. Feel free to repeat Week #1 a few weeks in a row if necessary just to start out nice and slow. I'm excited to see you are starting this journey and never give up hope that a marathon isn't possible. Good luck!

I managed to get my run done last night so far so good no excuses, even if I run in the middle of the night because I work third shift, it is cold and slippery out, so I use a treadmill instead, but I refused to make the weather or my circumstances my excuse.
If I take it easy I can get my knee used to this again.
