Graduation Race Preview

Today our mentors and coaches took us on the exact route that we will run on our graduation race day. We advanced in the program to 3 minutes walking, 3 minutes running. I can't believe how intimidated I was before we started. Just yesterday when running one minute at the track I was out of breath. I had little confidence that I could complete 3 minutes of running. I can't explain the difference a group setting makes. It's different and so much more fun!  Along the course we were able to see many great spots of Rochester history. It was an adventure in a place I have lived my entire life but now I saw it so differently. I loved it... AND running for 3 minutes didn't seem as hard as running for one minute did like at the track yesterday. Don't get me wrong, that last running interval was still a challenge, but a good one! I am so happy I'm doing this!
