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! :)

Sports Team Training: The Simsbury Lightning

We have been given the unique and fun opportunity to train some local youth sport teams.  One such team is the "Simsbury Lightning" youth soccer team.  These are ladies ages 13-14, and they travel to compete against other teams in the Farmington Valley.  Every Monday and Thursday, they will be training with Mike and/or Brian (I got to sub in once this week and LOVED it, they're so cute) for a full 45-minutes.

Mike's first day with them was a lot body weight stuff, and they were lucky enough to have that AMAZING 60-70 degree weather, so they trained outside on the grass.  The photos below are from Brian's first session with them - also outside, on that dreadful 80 degree day last week!!  They were outside to do some hill sprint relays, and some 40-yard relays, before going back inside to finish some strength training circuits in the air conditioning!!

Check out the photos below, and a little compilation video at the bottom!

Time for some hill-sprint relays!
