Today was a very special day, since Cristal has finally been given the green light to rejoin the group and I am so happy to run with her again. It is always such a pleasure to run with someone who is so in love with running. Now we just have to make absolutely sure that she takes it easy and gradually in the next few weeks so we don't lose her to injury yet again. To top things off, Cristal brought along both her girls, Madison and Tegan. And even better news: Madison will be home full-time starting August 4th. Yippee! Cristal has worked so hard in the last year to be able to gain full custody of Madison and I can only imagine how excited she is to have both her girls home where they belong. We are all so proud of you Cristal; no doubt you are very proud of yourself!
We ran five minute intervals today, with one minute walk breaks. Our total run time was twenty-five minutes; twenty-nine minutes including the walks. You can view our route here.

In other news, I'm happy to announce that we are starting a Half Marathon clinic on June 15th, leading up to the Good Life Fitness Victoria Marathon in October! Workouts are Wednesday mornings at 10am or Thursday evenings at 5.30pm (your choice), and long runs are Sunday mornings at 8am. All runs leave from Frontrunners Victoria, and all levels and run paces will be accommodated. Strollers are welcome, but not mandatory. The only requirement is that you be able to run for one hour, but it's totally cool if that hour is done running intervals (the longer the interval, the better). If you have any questions, please contact me at joy_sara@hotmail.com.
This clinic is open to all Moms, whether your kids are wee or grown - Grandmothers are always welcome! It's a wonderful opportunity to either cross something off that list of things you've always wanted to do, or simply a great excuse to get out with a fun group to train for your next goal.
