Week 3 – Olympic Backdrop




Today was a great day for a training run! The weather was cool with light overcast skies and nary a gust of wind nor drops of precipitation. The group met at the Emma Schmitz Memorial Overlook on Beach Drive for warm-ups and drills. From there, the group went south for the training runs.

Dodging the sea gull droppings, we joined the other groups out for a morning run along this scenic road. In between the tempo runs and the introduction to rolling hills, members were able to take in scenic views across the sound of the snow capped Olympics as well as dream of home remodels from the exquisite beach side homes.

With each step, the runners are gaining new found confidence in their abilities and setting new goals for themselves. Only two more training sessions before we join others at the annual Seattle Jingle Bell Run/Walk. Enjoy the training runs this week and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
