COLD AND WIND

I ran the 5k Route* this morning at 11:00a.m.   Arena, Legion Park, across bridge at Morley's, Duncan Crescent, Athlone, 2nd Ave. NW, Ditch Road and back to the Arena.   Worked ok.  I had all the layers on that I own.  Belacava, toque, two pair of mitts, etc.  No problems.   Lots of blue sky and sun. 

Things are coming together very well in  organizing the Fun Run:  Jolie Verbo at the Helm.   If you know of anybody who would might be interested in being a "Volunteer Worker" at the run,  please have them give Jolie a call at 204 734- 7049.   It takes lots of help. 

Are you running outside in the cold weather?  Ya, it's not so bad really.  Once you've bundled up and  start running - it's works fine.

Tip for the Day:   Duct tape the mesh toes of your runners and wear wigwam socks.

Keep give'n'er,

* The 5k Route is one  of the three choices of Routes at  this summer's Fun Run on June 23rd, 2013.

Swan Valley 1/2 Marathon

 We can start some easy outside running right now.  No hard stuff;  just an "easy-going" start.  A couple outings  a week.   And then we'll be ready for a spring board into Spring Training. 

 And , this year, we have a new RUN in the Valley with three events.  A 5k, a 10k and a 1/2 Marathon.  Right here in the Swan River Valley - not far to drive at all.  Thanks to Jolie Verbo.  Jolie has registered the run with The Manitoba Runners Association and they will be up to help with the event.

 

VOLUNTEERS:   If you would like to help with the run, please call Jolie and leave your name with her.   There is lots to do with timing, spotting, registration, sign placements,first aid, water stations, etc.    The date is Sunday, June 23rd at 8:00a.m.  All three events start and finish at the Arena.   You can check out these links and see the routes. We need lots of volunteers to help run the event and so if you can help out in anyway, we really appreciate your help.  Thank you.
