Welcome to the 2010 Southdale Y Run Marathon Training Club!! (Whew - that's a mouthful!)
I’ll be helping PJ with the run club this summer! Last year at this time I was getting ready to start training for my first marathon. I was extremely anxious about getting through 16 weeks of training...not to mention actually finishing the marathon!! BUT...the inaugural Southdale Y Marathon Training Club had eight participants and eight official finishers at the 2009 Twin Cities Marathon – including five first time finishers and two personal records. (PJ finished too –he didn’t have a PR, but his major accomplishment was that he helped the rest of us finish our first marathon or get a PR!!!)
The next 16 weeks aren’t going to be easy...there are probably going to be days you think you’re absolutely insane...but running the Twin Cities Marathon was truly one of the best experiences of my life...and it was all worth it in the end! It’s going to be a great summer!!!
