Saturday Morning Intervals
In Photo: Michelle B, My Mom, Me, Kim, Selena(missing from photo Ang and Paula they were still running laps - punishment for being late LOL)
This morning there were 7 of us running intervals around the boardwalk. It was such a great feeling to share my enjoyment of running with friends... 3 of the ladies have never run intervals before. Michelle B. and Selena did an amazing job... barely looked like they broke a sweat on their first time out (so you know what that means... next time... we are going faster girls). I totally can see Kim improving her stamina from a month ago (of course she ended her last lap in a sprint - total rockstar). Props out to my mom... hard to believe she'll be 60 next month and kept up with a bunch of 30 year olds! She is old-school though... she used to run when it was called jogging! LOL! It was crazy to watch the Follett sisters run together in perfect unison... it's like they are one person when they jog... their stride is exactly the same and perfect form (I want Ang's butt)!
Anyone that wants to try running intervals... we are going to continue on Saturday mornings at 8:30am on the Eastern Passage Boardwalk at MacCormack's Beach... you can run single file with us... run ahead or go at your own pace... make sure you bring music and water though... we don't chit chat until stretching time though... we're hard core!
We did 5km of intervals with a 1km cooldown.
Only thing missing was Devin and Gina... though I see them enough during the week anyway! HAHAHA! We thought about you guys though (of course while we were "engaging our abs")! Devin you'll be happy to know... we just did 1 minute run/1 minute walk... no long distance stints on the weekends (promise)!






Awww...you gave me goosebumps. You're so right about taking control and making changes. You're a suppastar.
