FootWorks Twilight Run

Scott and I both ran the Twilight 5K in South Miami on Sunday evening. It was so nice to meet him! This was a great race, with lots of neighborhood support and a nice friendly feeling. Luckily the morning downpours had ended a few hours before the race, but the skies were still partly cloudy, keeping the sun from really heating things up.

Training Clinic in a Spinning "Classroom"

The spinning instructor was so thrilled to see everyone's heart rates since they spin with her so often and she encouraged everyone to buy one. There were a lot of 18 year olds who loved them and said they were gonig to go home and ask their parents to buy them one (must be nice!!). They had no clue about training at different percentages, so it was nice to be able to teach them something.

Lou Gehrig's 5k - Saturday, May 12th

I ran the 6th Annual Lou Gehrig's 5K in Coconut Grove on Saturday with my father, who was in town visiting for my graduation. The spirit of people at this race was great, there was a lot of support for the charity (ALS research). We went out a bit too fast and had to slow down by mile 2, but still finished strong. I was 5/45 in my age group (25-29) and 128/642 overall. My dad finished 7th of 20 in his age group (50-54). He hadn't raced since a 10 miler about 12 years ago, so I was very proud of him! It was the first time we had ever run together, and it was a great experience.

TriMiami Training Clinic

The training clinic went very well yesterday. I handed out the foot pods , watches and wearlinks to a few of my friends who were doing the tri, gave them brief instruction, and then spent an hour after the race (over a couple of cold malt beverages) reviewing what the units recorded. My running/training partners were amazed at how much they could look at. Pace, distance, HR….it’s all there. So I would recommend this approach to others in the group. Also, even though everyone was not outfitted with a unit, the clinic attendees who didn’t were still very interested in seeing firsthand how the units performed and recorded. So you do not have to give everyone a unit.
