Brisk Devotion!

Thursday practice was a BRISK one! We donned our hats & gloves, and made fast tracks around the lake! Thanks to Pat Hamburg, Donna VandeKieft, Bill Goodwin, Jeannie McLam and her friend Lynne from Florida, Lora Thomas, and Rod MacLean for making it an inspiring practice!

NEXT WEEK - - our practice will start at RUN 26 in Mill Creek Town Center. Plan to meet there at 6:30pm. Shelby Schneck the owner of Run 26 has graciously offered to give us a "shoe" clinic. He discusses the importance of the correct fit to avoid injury. After his talk, we will hit the beautiful trails of Mill Creek. And how about a warm Starbucks afterward?

Thanks to Lorraine Cunningham, Jeannie McLam, Donna VandeKieft, and Corina Helfrich for getting in their first $100, or all of their $300 donation this week. By getting your first $100 in, it allows us to purchase your race registration for a deeper discount - - which means more money towards Beads for Education.

HOORAY a BIG thanks to Lora & Darryl Thomas of "Flame On" for being our first corporate sponsor!

During this cold weather training it is of utmost importance to keep hydrated. For me it feels counter intuitive - - I'm chilly, I don't feel like drinking! Have you noticed how dry your skin is? Chapped lips and hands? That is dehydration. Your body functions best when it is well hydrated. You will experience fewer sore muscles and have better endurance if you keep hydrated!

For those of you that are planning fundraiser events (wine tastings, garage sales, etc.) I plan to list them here on the blog! Send me your events and ideas and I will publish them.

This week I am drafting a "donation" letter that you can send to your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers to support you in your efforts. This is an easy way to get your $300 fundraising goal achieved, and probably easily surpassing it!

This weeks training schedule:

Sunday: 30 minutes

Monday: Rest

Tuesday: 30 minutes

Wednesday: 30 minutes

Thursday: 30 minutes

Friday: Rest

Saturday: 50 minutes

Its important to get as much "feet" time in as you can! The frequency of the schedule allows for your feet to get use to doing the miles!

Thanks everyone for doing your part! Together we are making a difference in the lives of others!

Find Joy!
