Week 1 – First Steps
Under cloudy skies, the inaugural Fitness Together Running Program took it first steps on Sunday. A group of 8 dedicated individuals came out to face the elements and improve their cardio conditioning.
Fighting off the smells coming from the KFC across the street and the bakery en route, the running group tackled their first challenge – the Track! Amidst other runners who were all going in opposite directions, this gutsy group were challenged from the get go with running drills like butt kickers and high knees all the while asking themselves what they had gotten themselves into. The drills quickly gave way to the main order of business: a one mile time test.
Dodging runners along the way, everyone finished the time trial proudly noting that they had just completed 1/3 of the distance for the Jingle Bell Run. Four more weeks of training with many more adventures ahead. Not to mention a little homework in between to keep them on their toes.
