Hill training starts next Tuesday...wish me luck!
Here is the poem from Coach Kiley on the invite. Love it!
TNT athlete come one come all
To the rise on the road that makes the faint of heart fall
'Tis the time here and now to see if you will
Have the courage to conquer ol' Hard Knock Hill
Your legs will be powerful your spirit stout
As you cast aside the demons of that nagging self doubt
This isn't a stroll through the park or soft glade
But a place where sturdy endurance athletes are made
Each week you come one hill repeat we'll add
At the end of seven weeks your legs will be glad
And so will your heart as it will grow strong
Come build a foundation to walk and run long......
GO TEAM!!!!

Completed a 5k with the team this morning. It was awesome running with the team. Tony (not my hubby) and I pretty much stuck together and finished the race! We rock Tony, we both shaved minutes off of our pace assessment 5k!
Almost at my goal and it feels great! Once I get there, I can really focus on my training! Don't get me wrong, I love making pumpkin rolls, but I will be glad when I won't stay up til 11 and 12 pm baking =)
Here is a picture with a few of my teammates, Liz, Judit and Monica before the race this morning!
Happy trails!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with their loved ones! So this was the weekend to run off the turkey and all the goodies. The team met up at the Rose Bowl to run the trails. I didn't run with my team, BUT i did run a 5K for my husband's band, The 8th Annual Taco Mambo Fun Run/Walk. The course was in Montebello, CA and had several hills! I finished the 5k in 46.10, not bad for hilly course.
This weekend the team will be running a 5k for the South Pasadena High School athletic club in South Pasadena. This course is fairly flat and should be a nice run. I can't wait to see what my time is!
I shall keep you all posted!

Rain or shine, we run! Ran 5.09 miles in 65 minutes today at the Rose Bowl. Thankfully it didn't start pouring until after we finished. Perfect weather to run in.
Now to dry off and stay warm! Pumpkin rolls, here I come!
