While I am pursuing completing 100 miles by March 13th and working up to being able to do 100 consecutive pushups, I am also training to complete a half-marathon in April.
Following today's 6-mile training outing (walked in mostly sunny, but cold conditions ... I think it was 5 degrees when we started at 9:30, but probably 15 by 11 AM when I finished), 22 of us stayed at the local fitness center afterwards for a well-deserved "potluck brunch" and a getting-to-know-you session.
Trainer Lynn had us divide up into groups of 4 and then come up with 6 questions to which we all had a common answer, i.e. in my group: all over 30 yrs. old, all been to Europe, all have had a pet at some point in life, all own a car, all have a nephew and all like to drink wine.
After the initial groups did this, another 6 people returned from their miles, so they had to do same - but there was one person you still did not have all 6 questions answered in common. So we played another "round" and ultimately everyone belonged to a group.
Funny to learn just how many people had been to a casino (albeit not necessarily gambled while there). One group found out they all had hiked at Yellowstone Ntl. Park!!
We sure are a diverse bunch of women - all with a common goal of completing a half-marathon in New Hampshire in April!
