Last week was a HUGE week for our Team Challenge Summer 2010 Participants! Not only did the Houston Team Recommit 25 participants (meaning that 25 will be joining us at the Napa to Sonoma Half-Marathon in July!), but we increased our mileage to 9 miles!
After beginning our run at 6 am at Terry Hershey Park, our participants did an excellent job at keeping a great pace, staying hydrated, and maintaining a positive attitude in the hot weather.
While Coach Kelly led one of our fastest runners, Kelly Cervenka, up to the 7 mile marker, Mary Jean Slazer, Jennifer Bell, Tish Felts and Jacqueline Garrett & her niece persevered through the hilly Terry Hershey trail on their own - at least on their own until Coach Kelly ran back to join them all!
With 9 miles down, they are more than ready to tackle the 13.1 in Napa! Considering the optimum weather conditions in Napa, our participants will be all-stars on the Napa course!
Next week, Team Houston will be tackling 6 to 7 miles at Hermann Park, located near the Medical Center. A 6 to 7 mile run/walk will be a 'piece of cake' for these participants!
