Last Saturday was the first Team In Training training event - a 'long run' on the Los Gatos Creek Trail. There are a couple of hundred of us training together. You know - it seems like there are as many volunteers as trainees! This is a great organization.

It was up to us how far we wanted to walk or run - up to 6mi. I hadn't run outdoors since last fall, although I had been running on the treadmill. I was going to try 5mi.

I completed 6mi and felt great! I actually forgot to time the run so I'm not sure what the pace was - but I'd estimate approx. 10min miles. I need to run 8:20 miles to achieve my target time, but this is just the beginning.
