Hey friends,
It’s Caroline here! Can you BELIEVE it? FINALLY, some FALL temps!!. HURRY, go run! LOL! Hopefully everyone is able to get out and take advantage of the cooler temps this weekend. I know we are dying to see the results of those HOT and oh, so HUMID runs this summer. You will be flying down Magnolia for sure!
The half marathoners will have their first double-digit run this Saturday and our FMs are up to 15 miles. We love seeing those ‘longest run ever’ posts so keep ‘em coming. REMEMBER: Please, PLEASE listen to your body. There’s still plenty of time for training so BE SMART! The schedule is a recommendation, so modify as needed and “YOU do YOU!”
Race season is officially underway and it has started off with a BANG for our PARR family. We’ve had folks travel to Seattle, Idaho, Berlin, Scotland, a big group is headed to Chicago this weekend, and then off to Kansas for some soon! I am sure there are others that I am forgetting (I’m SO sorry). We have PARR family racing pretty much every weekend SOMEWHERE! Be sure to POST on FB and tell us all about it! ? We want to cheer you on! After all, with our Houston heat and humidity, summer training is NO JOKE and you all have made it look so easy– such COMMITMENT and DEDICATION to the training—WELL DONE! Congrats to ALL of you for yet another MAJOR accomplishment and for those with their “A race” coming soon, as they say, enjoy your “VICTORY LAP!”
