Our fall marathon training finally stared on June 21st. Since most of us, members of the Elmhurst Running Club are veterans, our first run was a moderate 9 mile. We met at 6am, our usual time, and finished about 7:30. My group average pace was 8:50 On my way home, I stopped at the health club for some core strenght and stretching. After that, went out for a wonderful and well deserved breakfast.
