Final 3 mile run along an awesome frozen Susquehanna, and a little pizza party tonight for the first ever VRC BB900 training crew. It was a rough session filled with ice, snow, rain, cold...oh and one nice day!!! Thanks so much for letting me lead you, and to our coaches Jill, Ellen, Marilyn, and Joyce. We hope to see you in March. :)

Well, this was an interesting first ever BB900 session! We had wind, rain, snow, extreme cold, and even one 55 degree day. I’m proud of all twelve of the ladies who toughed it out in the conditions, and especially Mary and Lori, who ran their 3.14 mile “race” through the streets of Forty-Fort today. Spring running is gonna feel amazing and you’ll be so conditioned! Thanks to my coaches Jill, Ellen, Marilyn, and Joyce. I couldn’t have done this without you! ❤️🏃‍♀️

3.14 miles in the books, with no stopping, on a beautiful night. You guys make us so proud! Matt has approved our “Shiver by the Luzerne County River” 5K for Saturday, so get to the VRC by 8:30 and we will have a great race to conclude our very first Valley BB program!

YOU DID IT, ladies!!! 3.1 miles with no stopping. We are ready for Saturday, even though most of you can’t make the race. Lol. It was a great night for a loop-dee-loop run and really bright outfits. :)

Okay so 19* doesn’t sound too bad, but with steady winds of 20 mph and gusts up to 35 mph, I officially have to cancel practice tonight. And while I’m at it, we better cancel for Saturday morning, when it will be -4 overnight. 😞 Please run 2.5 to 3 miles on your own, indoors, with a walk break or two! Tuesday looks lovely for our practice with a high of 36 degrees. Be safe!
