October 29, 2009''The only things that stand between a person and what they want in life are the will to try it and the faith to believe it’s possible' Rich DeVos. GENERAL INFO
THIS SATURDAY: THIS SATURDAY 14 & 12 MILES AND INFORMAL 6 MILES!! FIT members get excited! This Saturday is the firts 14 miler of the Winter season! YAY! More than a Half Marathon distance! Please be sure to check the FIT Long Run Planning Checklist located under the links section. Also, this Saturday we are splitting up between Full and Half groups! What does this mean? It means if you are training for a Half Marathon, you will be doing 12 miles, and if you are training for a full marathon, you will be doing 14 miles. 14 and 12 milers will start together and remain together for the most part of the run. Towards the end, we will split up and the 14 milers will just continue on for a couple more miles. Athens participants will be doing an informal 6 miler meeting at 6:30 am. If you have missed a few Saturdays and would like to come back and you feel comfortable with this distance, please feel free to join us! You may not have a leader for your group, but you should know our route (from the park to the Clipper and Back) and there will be plenty of people out there! SAFETY REMINDER! Please remember to practice safety. If you use head phones, please have them only in one ear so the other ear is clear to hear what is going on around you. You need to be able to hear for cars and everything else to avoid accidents. Please do not run on the bike lane. Cross the streets at the light, keep a single file on the bridges and narrow sidewalks allowing others to go by, and if you feel overheated, use the beach showers! It feels great to get your head under the shower! :) Don’t forget to wear your FIT shirts and have fun everyone! SEMINAR THIS SATURDAY: MARATHON AND BEYOND Brought to us by Bob Becker Join us this Saturday as Bob Becker, Palm 100 and Keys 100 Race director and ultra marathoner shares with us a little on the history of marathoning, talks about how marathons can enrich our lives in so many different ways, and shares some valuable tips from his personal running experiences including his recent experience in Greece. Great timing for Athens participants! Be sure to stay for some info! Bob started his running career with Friends In Training several years ago. Since then, he has completed several marathons, 10 Ultra marathons including a 135 mile race in the desert, and much more! Do not miss this amazing speaker and get inspired! Plus, Athens Participants, we have some additional information for you so be sure to stick around! OTHER GENERAL INFO: FIT ON SUN SENTINEL LAST SUNDAY! Did you check out the Sun Sentinel last Sunday?

"TRAINING TIP OF THE WEEK:
DON’T LIMIT YOUR TRAINING TO JUST RUN/WALK, INCREASE YOUR KNOWLEDGE ON THE SPORT!!"
A big part of your training success is not just the physical training, but also increasing our training IQ :) Getting informed and educated on the sport of running and walking is a must if you want to be successful. How can you do this? Stay and participate in our seminars after the run/walks on Saturdays. Read a book on Running, Walking or something related to the sport. Do a research on any particular running topic you’d like to learn about, etc. Try to learn something new if not daily, at least weekly! You will be amazed at what this can do for you and for your training! FALL AND WINTER MARATHON UPDATES:
