:::: CHEETAHS :::: Tues., 1/23

[kristi]

ShellyC - You must be chomping at the bit to get back to running. That must be so hard staying away, but like you said at least you have some other good options in the meantime. Enjoy hi lo extreme.

I'm really excited about running the HM with my DB. We will be starting the race together, but I'm sure he will be finished way before me. He is a true cheetah! :) :) I, on the other hand, just want to enjoy the experience and run at a comfortable pace. I'm not a very fast runner at all especially since I am recovering from a calf injury. My goal is to begin and end the HM feeling strong and running the entire time. Small but doable goals. DB will probably have to grab a couple bananas and wait for me at the finish line.

kristi- I only wear breathable, sweat repellent clothes for my runs. I usually will wear a tank top first then a long sleeve shirt or short sleeve over the tank depending on how cold it is and then my armour jacket that has body control temp. Or if its warmer one of my coolmax jackets. As far as pants go, I will wear either warm coolmax pants or for layering a pair of tights under a pair of wind resistant pants. I also have a gator neck warmer. My friend taught me to always protect the center part of your body especially. Like the chest,throat etc... I can now run without freezing,if anything I have to unzip after the first mile.

wendy- My morning bootcamp is the class that hasnt had consistant p;eople but my evening class is booming. I will always teach the bootcamp, I love that class but adding a weekly spin class to teach would be fun also. But if I am only going to have 1 person show up at 6am then I would rather call the class off. The morning classes have never been big usually 3 people. Its amazing to see how few people will get up in the morning to exercise. Like I said before so few people are really dedicated to fitness. Unlike my cheetah friends here on the forum. I n the summer the evening class slows down because so many people are doing things outside but for now the evening class , I have had almost 20 at a time but from week to week its different. I just always prepare for the larger class. An average is around 14 people.

talk with ya later!

Shelley,

The site I check for upcoming races all of the time isn't updated through June yet so I can't really give you any ideas. I didn't run my first race until after that so I wouldn't know of any off hand either. Sorry. What distance are you looking for? I can keep checking for you. :-)
