The weather outside is....

...actually looking to be OK this week! Tuesday is going to be a balmy 12 degrees....HEAT WAVE!! This is perfect for your first "official" week of training for the Fargo Marathon or Half marathon.


The weather always poses an interesting challenge to us in the North. You can either be a victim to it by skipping your run and staying inside your warm house under a blanket sipping hot chocolate, or you can overcome it by looking it straight in the eye, saying "you're not gonna stop me today"! The latter, it seems, is always the more rewarding outcome. The more bad-weather days you overcome, the better off you'll be when it comes time to step up to the line in Fargo.


Getting in your training each week is so important, no matter what the weather. You joined this class for a reason. You signed up for the Fargo full or half marathon for a reason. Think about your reason every time you want to skip your run or workout, because there's no better feeling than accomplishing a goal you set for yourself. The perfect running weather rarely comes around....it's time to get over it and get your butt out the door!


Happy Running!
