Star Runs Like an OLD!!!!!! Girl! The Ravanna River Trail  Every morning Freyja the Mutt wakes me up. Time to Run! She says. Groan Groan! I want to SLEEP! Nevertheless, I toss on some clothes, slip on my running shoes and out the door we go. This morning, I had the day off! Yeah! Okay, Madam Mutt, you are staying outside until I decide we are going. Ring Ring! A Gentleman Friend calls and invite me to breakfast. Sure but the Mutt is going with us. Since the River Trail is on the way. So we hop into Monticello Blue and take a drive to the other side of C-Ville. After Breakfast, I turn on the GPS to find the way to the Riverside Park where the Trail Begins. The Biggest Challenge with Freyja is keeping her focused. She wants to check out the other dogs and the at the park always want to check her out. She wants to bark at deer unless they get too close in which case she wants to hide. My older who has run with dogs told me to tell her, "Eyes Forward" give her a tug and keep going. Autumn is an awesome time to run. The Weather is JUST Right! We ran and Walked the 3.1 Miles required for a 5K. YOU MEANT TO...ENTER YOUR FIRST RACE LAST CHANCE Do a holiday fun run. There are loads of 5-K Turkey Trots and Jingle Bell Runs to choose from this time of year. And even if you haven't been running regularly, there's still plenty of time to prepare for crossing the finish line comfortably, says c. Every other day, warm up, then run until you can hear your breathing. Walk until you can catch your breath. Repeat this cycle for 20 minutes. Over three to four weeks, work up to run/ walking for 30 minutes. On race day, leave the watch at home, use the same run/walk strategy, and have fun soaking up the festive cheer. per Runner's World Website December 11th is the Freedom 5 K Run. We BETTER be able to run the thing by that time. Abracadabra  |
