Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a great weekend!

For this week, as usual, please repeat last Thursday’s run on Tuesday.  Also, please look out for new people joining and welcome them – we may have a few new additions this week.

Here is the link to join the group What’sApp if you are not already on it: 

And there is a WRW group on Facebook – request to join Women Running the World:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/577037932320990

This Thursday’s run time will be just a slight increase from last week’s.  We are taking our time building up to make sure your bodies are becoming adjusted at a nice slow pace.  As always, please let one of us know if you are hurting or struggling.  It is normal for your body to be aching in new ways because you’re using muscles differently.  We get concerned if an ache doesn’t go away after about 10 minutes of running/walking or if you have a sharp pain. If you are having back pain, it may help to think about your posture as you run – keep your shoulders back and don’t hunch over.  This actually opens up your chest and allows you to breathe more easily and will give you better posture beyond running even.

There are a few of you who are either away or about to be away.  Just do your best to get out for the training runs following the plan I sent in the Week Two email. Use your What’sApp group to stay accountable – send photos of where you are running and let them know how it went.  The beginner group is the BEST at cheering you on from afar – use it to help you get motivated!  If you need help, please email me or any of the coaches and we will be happy to check in on your and offer support.

If you are on this email and are not planning to join us this year, please let me know – we won’t take offense!  We don’t want to junk up your inbox any more than it already is.  But if you are planning to join, come on out!  It’s not too late to get started.

Hope to see everyone on Thursday,

Your coaches
