It was great to see the Tri-Zones yesterday. Everyone I got to talk to said they had a great race and felt good- several PR's!
I hope you are recovering well. Look forward to hearing everyone's race stories.

For those of you that have been coming to the workouts, I hope you know that you are among a unique group that understands that learning Pose is a challenge but the rewards are worth the effort!
There are 4 things to practice that will ensure success:
1. Learn the Pose: relax, soft knees, weight on the ball of your foot- this will also help you with balance

To Pose or Not to Pose

I am pretty slow at running (12-13 min. mile on long runs is my average). Also, my training has been hit or miss because of family stuff, this last month. When I left the training last Wed.
