We met at Millenium High School in Piedmont. Ended up also being anti climactic. I guess I need to crawl before I run, right? Crawl we did. The workout ended up being a 2 mile run around the super nice astro turf and rubber track. Afterwards we made sure to load onto the bleachers to take our very first team photo ("awww") and then got to the main reason of assembly: Marathon University. I have been looking forward to this for weeks now. Yay. Mama Lisa and Coach Al brought in all of their favorite docs and their nutritionist, personal trainer,podiatrist, etc. It was a schmorgasbord of food no's, shoe this, gu that, if you don't want to drink powder you're wrong, and foot chat. I found it fascinating and Nat did also. We ended up with swag including bio freeze, more coupons, and the newfound knowledge of even MORE nifty running gear things to buy. ca-ching.
Side note: I found out five times your body weight is the impact felt to your joints when running. (eh hem...I better make sure I run smooth then) Also, 60% of the impact goes to your ankles, 40% to your knees. Okay, so maybe I better drop a few pounds in this whole process?
