Congrats to all!!!

Great job to everyone of you! You did it! I hope you all had a wonderful day and are proud of your accomplishment. Jacki and I are very proud to have helped you along your way. We hope that everyone had a great experience running with the group and you were able to reach your goal whether it was to complete your first half marathon or improve your overall time. Yesterday was a tough course and we had an unusually warm day but we made it! Hope to see you all in the gym to speak with each of you in person and hope to see you all continuing to run in the future...after a few days off for recovery, of course : )

24 hours until the big day!

Good luck to everyone tomorrow!

You have all logged enough miles come a long way since our first run together. You will all do great!

Make sure you look for the Canton Club cheering section around Linwood and Eastern and then I will see you at the finish!

Hello runners!

Tomorrow is our last run before the big day! We will be running 11 miles which most of you have already done in the past few weeks. Tomorrow will be a breeze. There is no doubt that each one of you is prepared for it. We will be running from the club to Fort McHenry. The link is posted above. You may have to copy and paste it. I will have typed out directions for you in the morning.

I have three final pieces of advice for you:
1) Stay in the moment. Don't get ahead of yourself. Focus on where you are and don't worry about what you have ahead of you.
2) Stay positive. You have all trained hard and logged enough miles. You are ready for this!
3) Most importantly...HAVE FUN! Turn on your ipod, play your favorite songs and RUN! Don't worry about anyone or anything. Enjoy yourself and keep putting one foot in front of the other. You will make it!
