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
