Marathon Team Update #2

Training starts Saturday!

The first official Saturday training run is THIS Saturday (12/13) with Coach John! Teammates will embark on a six – eight mile run that starts at Joint Venture Physical Therapy (660 Beacon St. in Kenmore Square, Boston) at 8am. Doors will open at 7:30am and you will have access to a changing area and water. Be sure to check out John’s website and his latest email for more information and to keep up to date on the training schedule. Make sure you complete John’s training questionnaire and sign up for his weekly emails which are separate from our emails, to keep you informed, educated, and motivated for this season’s Boston Marathon training. 

Caroline will be at the run and handing out STEPPING STRONG hats to teammates! We’d love for you to wear it in the team photo we’ll take before the run departs. Hats will be mailed to anyone not in attendance 😊
