Tips for Safer Running

Live to run another day.

Follow these tips for safer running and check your membership packet - Safety and Emergency Procedures for more safety tips regarding weather, traffic, etc.

RUN WITH...
-a group or a buddy especially in the dark or on the trail
-a dog - don't have  a dog? Borrow a neighbors.
-mace - you can find these at sporting good stores and running stores
-an ID bracelet - RoadID is a good one
-your phone - sporting good stores carry great belts and arm bands for your phone
-OUT ear buds. If you need them for keeping cadence, keep one ear bud out so you can stay aware of your surroundings.

Lastly...tell someone you are going on a run and when they should expect you back.

Stay SAFE!

Sunday Strength Class Time Change

Remember Sunday's strength class time is moving to 5:30 p.m. until Spring. Join us for a total body functional work out that is geared toward improving running efficiency and reducing injury risks that plague distance runners.

Saturday August 24th Long Run

We are back at the Brookside tennis courts this week and will be set up for 18 miles which will include a nice jaunt up Sunset to prepare those who are doing the KC full. Dynamic stretching starts at 6:15 a.m. Howie will go over the map at 6:30 a.m. Be there or be square!

Remember to sign in/out on the roster so we know how far you are going and when you get back.

Happy Running!
