IronGirl 10k

Irongirl 5K and 10K 2008

What a gorgeous day for a race. Over 2,000 people participated in this women’s only event. It was really inspiring to be part of it. Women and girls of all shapes and sizes toed up to the line to run, run/walk or run this event.

There were 8 people in our group who ran. Everyone had a good race. Some people in the group were returning to fitness. Others were taking on something new. Still others in the group used the 10K training to establish a base for 1/2 marathon training. Congratulations to everyone!

Week #2 Training With Lisa And Lucy

Hello team!

I am so excited to coach a team for Lucy Sportswear. Our training began last week. We started out with a 1.5 mile run/walk. The program is very gentle in it’s progression and is appropriate for most people. The goal is to complete the distance.

This week:  

2 sessions on your own during the week that are 20 minutes each. 

The 3rd session is a long run on the weekend - 2 miles.

You can run/walk or run the whole thing.

We have 10 more weeks until the IronGirl 5K and 10K. If you’d like to train virtually send me an e-mail or respond to this blog. Every week you will be able to follow our work outs on this blog.

Cheers
Lisa

1st Lucy Run

I’m delighted to be coaching a new group of runners for Lucy Sportswear. We had our first day of training on Saturday. We ran/walked 1.5 miles around the Bellevue Park. The runners are from all walks of life, moms, teachers, sales people, a police officer, women in business, even some of my daughter’s volleyball team members.
The ages range from 14 to 60. We are all women trying to improve our fitness. It’s great to start early, but it’s never too late to start getting in shape. We are training for the Irongirl 5K/10K which is September 7th, in Seattle. Our program is 12 weeks long. It’s free! Runners who participate receive discounts on clothing from Lucy. If you are interested, send me an e-mail. Our next run will be 2 miles on July 5th. We meet at Lucy in Bellevue Square at 10 am. Lisa@Sweat365.com
