Timberlea Tundra Pounders!!!!

I know I have been absent from posting for a little bit and I apologize for that...but I am back and excited to share with you my newest venture.

Remember K?  Well she encouraged me to start a facebook group for a running group in our neighbourhood.  She thought there might be a couple of people interested in running a couple of times a week together.  So last night I set up a site called the Timberlea Tundra Pounders and sent out a few invites.  Next thing I know, there are over 40 members...yes...that's right...over 40 members.  We have 2 runs scheduled already.....and the best part??   There are lots of newbies coming who want to get back at it, or start from scratch!  That excites me the most!!!  I love to see people step outside of their comfort zone and get active!  We also have a great mix of runners with varying levels of experience AND people who want to run in the morning!

My hopes are that if the group continues to grow, that I'll start to organize events like having a nutritionist come to speak to the group or perhaps yoga for runners.

I have also been doing my runners yoga video and am feeling much better about that.

Our first run is Saturday at 9am...I'm hoping the group doesn't mind pictures because you can bet I'll be posting something after our first run!!!

The Lucky 7 Relay is in less than a month!!!!  Eeeek!!!

  2. That's really exciting! There's a running group in Kensington, but I only ever went with them once. I find I need to run when the mood strikes me!

    I hope you have a good turnout for your run! Good on you for encouraging people to get out there!

    See you next month! We need to decide our running order, i think?
