Club Invitation

Attention Bipedals,

I’m taking the first step in starting a running club and I’m looking for running buddies! 

I’ve already got 1 in the club so the groundswell is I’d say strong to medium strong.   

Figured we could start small, maybe 2 – 3 mile jogs and adjust from there.  

We’ll meet Saturday mornings at 7:30am at various trails and parks around the lake, there’s some great ones close to all of us. 

This should be a lot of fun come spring when it gets nice out. 

If you decide to join annual dues are $500 payable up front to me, Brent Farr in check or money order.  I’m kidding its free.   

Set your goal(s) at the outset.  I’ve set a personal goal to finish a marathon this year but hey that’s me. 

Whatever your goals are:  to finish a race of a given distance, build stamina, lose weight, or just to get out of bed and start the day off in a positive way, it helps to have like-minded people around you encouraging you towards that goal. 

Now to address some build-in excuses and their answers

·         Races stress me out!!  This isn’t a race.  The point is to lower stress and have fun, so chat and laugh with your buddies. 
Your pace should allow you to be conversational otherwise you’re probably going too fast.   

·         I’m a Single parent!  No problem, it’s a kid friendly thing.  We’ve been dragging our kids around the HV trails on Sat mornings for the last 2 years and its really kind-of an ass beating. 

But that’s kinda the point, RunClub makes you glad you did it afterwards -- not like that last Jagger shot in Matamoras.

·         Smoker? No problem, there’ll be a ciggy just waiting for you flame up at the end of the run and it’ll taste that much better.

·         Overweight? Not an issue, slow and steady beats the hare every time and frankly we all could use a little toning up.

RunClub is for everyone and its free, healthy and positive!  You can do it! 

Our First Team team run is this Saturday January 15^th at 7:30 Unity Park in Highland Village.

Hope to see you there!
