Summer Plans and Training

The basic goal of training throughout the summer is to get train your body to run, then run, then run some more. Your goal is NOT to start out running as much as possible, then keep adding on miles until you collapse!

Overtraining is just one of the most common errors committed by people who are getting started in running. Here's a good article on things NOT to do as a beginning runner. http://www.runtex.com/web/1-566.asp (This should open in a new window.)

Since I won't be able to edit this page easily this summer, I've created a page at Google Documents.

I'll send each of you the link to that page, inviting you to be viewers or collarborators on several pages, including the one where we'll track our mileage goal of running acrross the country, plus a calendar of events. For the general interested public, here's a link to the main page for our summer training: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dd6vpffs_10d635f9

Finally, if you want to see how we're doing with our goal to virtually run across the country, go to our DXC Run the USA page.

Good miles and smiles,
