Ron and Susan,

I cannot thank you enough for letting me experience the run this morning.

I was not only looking forward to the rainy run, but got out the door by 0700 on a SAT.
I felt so alive and energized as I ran and splashed in the puddles. It was man vs nature against the windy hills. It was so great to be outside and experience life again!

I know that 3 months ago, I would have been locked up inside with low energy and loads of stress eating at me. Today, even though the stress is still around, I am able to use the running as a relief to clear my mind, heart and aches. All top of all that, I am getting in shape and have more energy!

So, I owe you thanks for having this program. I owe you thanks for allowing me and the group to start slow and build into running correctly.

I feel ready for the next level of longer runs. I am not tired after the workout any more.
I am looking forward to group run tomorrow.

Jamie

A friend and I did Zooma together a few weeks ago. She was recovering from pneumonia and I'd been busy training for a century ride and hadn't been doing much running - we were a pair, but we took our time and actually had a fun time. I paid for it the next couple days, but was delighted that I was able to finish!

Last weekend I completed a century out in Tahoe. It was AMAZING, and probably the hardest ride I've ever done. On mile 80 we had an 8 mile climb! I was thinking about you a lot as I was going through my training. I didn't have as great an experience training with my coach for my ride as I did training with you last year. It takes a special person, who's dedicated and passionate about what they do, to pass that passion on to their students. Your shoes were certainly hard to fill!!

Now that my rides over I'm hoping to get out and join the group again soon. I've recruited a friend, (she's lost 90lbs running) and hope to bring her along. She needs a little mama and papa bear in her routine :)

Thanks again for all you do, and hope to see you soon,

Hugs, Leenie

The speed workouts have definitely worked this year along with Paula’s mental imaging. Stewart and I started with the 4:30 pace group and they paced us through the first 4 miles,(10.18/mile), then we started running just a touch faster, 8 seconds per mile. We were in great shape until the hills and the heat on the second half started taking its’ toll. I think we started walking a bit at mile 17 The pace group finally passed us at mile 19, Lake Montebello felt like Death Valley, flat but no shade. 33rd ST beckoned with mile 22 and our Oases, just in time, it took awhile to for the Peanut and Jelly to register I am alive, hurting but alive, run /walk, more running, by mile 25 I wasn’t going to stop until the finish, sprint through the finish and a pr by 15 minutes 4:39.17. and a pat on the back by 2 guys I flew by in the last 50 yards. Last year I was just trying to break five hours thanks to Rene’, Ron and Paula breaking 4:30 doesn’t look so tough.

Thanks, Willie G.
