Spring Has SPRUNG!

Spring is in the air. The trees are greener & the flowers are sprouting. And for runners, that means less running gear & more sweaty miles! It means longer days & more sunshine. With all that, come spring races. Good-bye long bitter winter & heeelllloo beachy fun-filled days!!

I’ve been lucky enough to be a member of Stroller Strides for almost 2 years now. I’ve made life-long friends, some of which enjoy running & others who prefer not to. Regardless, we all have one goal in mind when we meet up each morning for class; get our fitness on! Some might work-out to lose weight, while others (myself included!) view class as a time to simply get the kiddos out of the house & enjoy some fresh air. The added perk of the children seeing a hard-working role model mother is pretty fantastic too!

Starting in mid-April, I have been tasked with leading an 8-week spring running club through the Norfolk Fit4Mom franchise. We will meet on Saturday mornings for our group long runs. Throughout the week, runners will complete their personalized training plan on their own; but have access to me, their coach, if they have questions or concerns. As a group, we will keep each other accountable & provide positive ongoing encouragement. Our almost 2-month running club will lead up to the 9^th Annual CHKD 8K RunWalk for the Kids, on June 14, 2014.

I am super excited to start my 2^nd official running group! It being a running club leading up to the CHKD race, whose causes are SO near & dear to my heart, is an added bonus. If you’re local to Norfolk or Hampton Roads in general, & want to join us for eight weeks of fun, don’t hesitate to contact me! This club is NOT exclusive to Fit4Mom members. You certainly don’t have to be a mother, runner, or even woman to run with us! ALL ages, BOTH genders, & ANY experience level are welcome to join!! CLICK HERE for additional information.

Happy Running!!
