Meet at School tomorrow

Should I change the name of our group to Summer Paddling or Summer Swimming....it's certainly been a challenging summer weather wise.

Because the greenway was flooded a bit yesterday afternoon and I can only guess it's even more so now after last night and this morning's rains, let's plan to meet in between the middle school and high school (by the main football stadium gate) for tomorrow's session. 

Depending on the conditions, you can vote to walk a big loop (stogdill to the elementary school over to the armory and back to the high school) plus 1 time around the middle school OR if there are too many flooded side walks, you can elect to take big laps around the schools parking lots.  The goal will be to walk for 35 minutes.  I know you can do it! 

I'm sorry I won't be there, but I'm very confident you'll be amazing!  Remember to have good posture:
1,  puppet on the string
2.  zip up your abs
3.  shoulders down, back, and relaxed

Have fun (I'll see you in a week) -

Join us for water aerobics!

Looking to supplement your physical activity with a low impact and fun workout - join us (Stephanie and I) for water aerobics on Tuesdays/Thursdays at noon at the Wells Community Pool.  It's a lot of fun and it's a great workout that is packed with social time :)   The cost is $3/session with drop-ins welcome OR you can pay for the full session for only $30.  Additionally bonus - the pool is heated - so so nice!!!

Next week is our final session....

Wednesday, 6/24 is our last training date for our first session of summer striders.  Here are a few things you need to know:

1.)  If River Road is NOT flooded, we will meet at Hardees.  If it is flooded, we'll meet at the middle school again.

2.)  As has become tradition, after our final group walk, we'll go out to celebrate our successes together at a local Mexican restaurant.  Please join us - we've overcome a lot of crazy weather this session and accomplished amazing things ...come celebrate with your fellow striders!

3.)  If you are interested in participating in a 2nd session of Summer Striders, please email me by 7/1.  The session, if there is enough interest, would continue to be on Wednesdays at 5:30 and would run 7/8 - 8/26 (8 weeks).  The cost would be $10 (max for a family is $20; kids under 10 are free). If you know anyone who would be interested, please have them email before July 1st.  A final decision, based on interest, will be made by 7/2 as to whether or not a 2nd session will take place.  Either way, definitely mark your calendars for Summer Striders 2016 - (May 11-June 29)

Look forward to seeing you on Wednesday.  Until then, stay safe and keep striding to better health!

Change of meeting location for 6/17

Due to flooding, we will be meeting on the west side of the middle school once again tomorrow (6/17).  See you tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. Remember, we will walk if it's just raining, but if it's pouring like it has been and/or stroming - we will not meet.
Hoping for sunshine!  See you tomorrow at the middle school!
