Tonight was the first group run for the No Boundaries group. 17 people ran/walked 1 mile tonight. For some people it was their first time running. As the people spoke before we ran, here are some reasons they are running: a healthier lifestyle, to get back in shape, to finish a 5K, to out run zombies.
Yes...you read that right. One guy told us he saw the movie "28 Days Later" and saw how fast zombies run, so he wants to be able to outrun them. I'm still shaking my head over that one.
The group ran for 1 minute and walked for 2 minutes. In the next 10 weeks, they will expand on that and some will run the entire distance. I am very proud of these folks for taking the first step towards a running life. I know some will keep up with it, and some won't. I could see though there are some very dedicated people.
Mark ran with the group, and he was very good. I was so proud of him. 1 week down....9 to go.
