Congratulations: Words of Wisdom for the Trotters in Training

Dear Trinity Trotters,

You all did an excellent job today.  You will have officially finished the pre-training NEXT Saturday and are ready to tackle a marathon training schedule.  I know today was TOUGH.  I know the route was MEAN and HILLY, but you did it! 

Please Remember- Marathon training is about patience and persistence.  You will have good days and bad days.  This is not an all-or-nothing experience.  You WILL learn a lot about yourself.  Lets tackle this journey one mile at a time.  Don't look ahead to May.  Look ahead to Monday's training and then your other runs next week.  Slow and steady wins the race! 

PATIENCE is our motto!!!  Keep it up!  Training for a marathon is a life changing experience if you are KIND to yourself along the way!

I'd like to give a special "shout out" to the distance Trotters that ran 10.7 miles today (Steve, Bobby, Hope, and Lynne).  Also, a "whoot whoot" to Melissa and Bonnie for running those crazy hills on State Street today after already running miles with the Trotters in Training group!  Mike rocked his miles as always! 

Run for fun,
Hope "Sweet Feet" Magnus

Merry Christmas-Routes posted below (scroll down)

KNOW THE ROUTE and YOUR TURN AROUND ROAD!!!

Location
1018 Royce Street NW
Uniontown, OH

Route Details
This route was made famous, feared, and dreaded during the Cleveland Marathon training. The Trotters thought we'd never want to run this route again. Man, time sure changes things because I've received three requests to do this route again. This WILL probably be our safest route for winter training. The roads are typically pretty clear from snow. So, get used to this route and get ready to fight the hills and the wind.....January snowfall will come soon! This is a 6.5 mile out-and-back. Pick your distance runners-Figure out how far you want to run. Memorize the street where you need to stop in order to get your mileage. Tell Coach Momma C the mileage you want to run PRIOR to leaving the Magnus house. She'll make sure you have a ride back to the start.

Route Map
Y'all ain't getting no stinking map. You hit State Street and go straight until you feel like turning around. It is the simplest route the Trotters will ever have!

Transportation Vehicle/Roaming Aid Station
Yes! Coach Momma C will be there to provide fuel, food, and transport back to the start line for those running less than 13 miles.

Route
Turn RIGHT out of Magnus driveway (0 Miles/13 Miles)
