The price might be right, but that's still ridiculous. I run because it's affordable. I could do a weekend bike clinic at that price.
Funny...the local ChiRunning coach is also a Newton running coach. And the Newton clinics at their factory are free, last I checked. Only 2 hours, but still.

Yeah, it is pricey. It's way more affordable than Total Immersion clinics though!

Just did 7-ish with a friend who was going for 18. She's generally a little faster than I am but either she was slow since I met her for the last 7, or I've gotten faster than I think I am, but most of the run I was a step or two ahead of her. Not enough to drag her but enough to motivate, I think. Interesting change as I'm usually the one getting pulled along on a long run
Anyway, beautiful weather here, hope you all are enjoying Thanksgiving!

I ran for a solid hour today. No stopping. That's big for me. Yay!

I did a 5K Turkey Trot not too far from me. Considering the pizza and beer I had last night I didn't run half bad, either.
The race is a benefit for the local food pantry and it just keeps getting bigger - they said 1600 entrants, although I don't think anywhere near that many actually ran. It was a fun way to start the day.

Way to go indy and VeganBikeChick!
I was thinking in the shower about the discussion of the cost of the Chi Running workshops. IMO the instruction is worth every penny, but I barely ran at all before I learned Chi Running, and when I think about what it's cost me in entry fees and hotels before the longer races.... okay, it is outrageous.
