Desi Girls Summer 2015 - Week 10

Girls,

15K on next saturday...Say that loud. Say that proud and keep saying it to yourself. Brag to your family members and enlist their support. Preparation for walking long distances includes physical training and mental training.

15K sounds intimidating but 9.3 miles is not. You completed 8 miles couple of weeks ago. Your body is ready to handle 9.3 miles. It is just 1.3 miles more. Talk to yourself. Remind yourself that is not a huge increase in distance from 8 miles. While you are in the trails, Don't forget to have fun, make new friends and take selfies in your favorite spot in the trails (I have many favorite spots in between Mile 3 and 5) and post them in the Whatsapp group (#ilovebussewoods)

I see most of you don't stretch enough after the walk. Inadequate stretching will result in injuries which are easily preventable. Check out my older blog posts on some good dynamic stretching (pre-run) and static stretching (post-run).

In case you want to get back home right away after the saturday run, here are some post-run yoga stretches that specifically benefit runners ( ie., us...don't be surprised. You are now a bonafide runner). Try them out and let me know if helps with the post-run soreness.

Keep Moving. CHEERS
