5 Mile Run

Today we had a recovery week.  After last week's 10 mile run, we dropped our mileage down to 5 miles this week.  Everyone was in good spirits and looking forward to a shorter, easier run before we tackle 12 miles next Saturday.

Jefferson, Nick, and Anthony did some warm ups together.

 Jasmine, Janette, Jaontra, and Ana Laura were all smiles before starting.


Here comes Eduardo - one of the leaders this week.



Anthony (in yellow) was not too far behind him.

We have been encouraging other teachers to run with us.  Mr. Spongberg (in gray) has run with us a few Wednesdays for our mid-week runs and he ran with us today.  Jonathan and Alex ran with him today.

Mr. Schooler is ready to high five us as he runs on by.

 Stephanie was just finishing up her first lap around the lake.

Javier (on the right) was looking strong today!

Whenever I see Jaontra running, she always has a smile on her face.  It doesn't matter if she's running 5 miles or 10.  She makes it look so easy!






Jefferson picked up speed this week and ended up running faster than his pacing group - great job!

Jasmine and Janette are usually running together, supporting one another.

 
I'm so proud of how strong Miguel is.  He's improved so much from when we first started 10 weeks ago.
 
 Karina works so hard at her training and she's doing great!

I can't wait to see how they do next week with 12 miles!
