Did You Forget About Running Club?

I hope not!  Because we have a lot of fun chatting about everything from the weather to the events of the previous day.  We chat about our plans for the weekend, how we are feeling, and anything else that may possibly come up while you're running along looking at the trees and nature around you.  But just in case you forgot today, here's our path and pace for the day!  Today we took it nice and slow, and finished 2.3 miles in about 27 minutes.  It was really nice, and we enjoy having someone to chat with while we jog along.

If you're interested in doing something different, or just getting off your butt on Saturday mornings, we have been meeting at the club at 9 AM and going for a run outside over at Lawrence Ave.  It's a quick warm-up to get over there, and then we complete our loop.  We are thinking that soon we will need to meet at the Rail to Trail and start logging more miles!  That was one of our many topics of discussion this morning while we moved along.

SO, next Saturday, don't forget that running club is an option, and it is whatever you want it to be.  It's a buddy to run with, someone to push your pace, or just a chance to do a different cardio workout.  Whatever you want it to be, we'll make it happen for you.  Sometimes people run ahead, sometimes people hang back and take it slow, but the end result is that we're all out there being active and going for it together! :)

Team Snap At Max's O'Hartford 5K!

Hey Everyone!

So the club put together a small team to compete in the Max's O'Hartford 5K yesterday afternoon, and the group had a BLAST!  We ran our butts off, and competed with 2,567 other people!!  Our roster was small, and though we didn't wear any official Snap gear, we were cheering each other on and enjoying ourselves.  It was a great afternoon full of friends and sunshine, and we didn't let our competitive sides slide at all!  Here are our results: 

Jessica Bergen   - 757th Overall    -   26:56    (53/260 for her division)

Ryan Colgan       - 917th Overall    -   27:56    (100/145 for his division)

Kelly Mazzola     - 918th Overall    -   27:56    (70/260 for her division)

Carly Newlan      - 1,101st Overall  -   29:03    (103/260 for her division)

You can check out all of the official results of the race here.  As always, if you are interested in participating in any fun running events with the club, let us know!  We'd love to have you join us, and we'd LOVE to hear of some upcoming events to participate in!!

Here are some photos of the group before and after the race!
