Kevin had gone out to our neighbourhood and using the birthday gift I bought for him (a Garmin Edge 305 GPS) and marked up the mile marks for me to run on. The big circle around the neighbourhood is just 0.1 mile short of 1 mile. Before he did that, I thought it is no big deal. Just 0.1mile short! But as I starting training for 5ks, that errors started to matter. So what Kevin did really helps me. Not only did he marked the mile, he also mark the 400 and 800 distance!!!
So that’s where I did most of my easy runs on. And every Saturday, Avanti and Heather will meet me at Memorial Park for long runs. Kevin will measure the running loop (the 3-mile loop) on google earth first so we know where exactly are the stopping points for the miles we are going to run. By the end of 1st month, we had done 5 miles weekend long runs.
