You’ve all come so far, and we continue to say how proud we are of you. Here’s a motivational commercial with marathoner Kara Goucher about believing – believing in yourself, believing in your run. Below is her interview before she takes on the Boston Marathon, and even though she’s an elite athlete, she still feels a little nervous, so if you are, it’s quite normal. Everyone, we mean everyone, will have the same feelings.

Here’s a very heartfelt video by a Westside LA TNT (Spring) participant and a very talented musical artist, Kina Grannis, who trained for the SF Nike Women’s Marathon. The music in the video is original, and is written by Kina and Alissa Moreno. The video captures so much emotion, I gotta say, I had to hold back the tears… ok, ok, there were some waterfalls.

Did she look familiar to you? Well, you’ve probably seen this commericial a few years ago – Doritos Crash Super Bowl Commerial: Kina Grannis

It’s no secret that you’ll have a little wobbly walk the day after your big event. Here’s a funny video of what to expect! Some of you might be like this after a long run on Sundays too. Hey! Don’t let that discourage you… you’ve come this far and you’re ALL doing amazing! Keep up the good work and you’re almost there!!

Go TEAM!

Here’s a very inspirational video by animator James Jarvis. I’m sure some of you can relate, how you can appreciate our surroundings when we run – the numerous sights and sounds. What do you notice when you run?

Congratulations full marathoners on 17 miles, and half marathoners on 10 miles, your longest run of the season! The photo above features your teammates, Halle Standford and Abby Goldberg! We brought in some longer interval times for some of you, and did it feel any different? Not much, right? Weather was just right with the lovely breeze, and some of us even played games while we ran. Everyone kept a good pace this time, and we’re proud of ALL of you! Be sure to check your e-mails as Coach Chris sent out some important information for the week!
