We Love to Run!

Thursday's Six!

Team Legacy put in 6 miles on Thursday!  Whohoo!  We took off from Tech, and the route lead us past Spades Library at mile 2, then to a loop around Brookeside Park and back past Spades Library at mile 4.  The wonderful team at the library set up a water stop for the team!  We finished off the run with a lap around the track at Tech.  

The weather was beautiful and everyone worked really hard.

Seniors - Lonavee, Linda, Lisa walked to and from the library - 2 miles!

Thank You to Spades Library for setting up a water stop for our team!

This is just one of the beautiful sites we ran by on Thursday.  The oldest tree in the city!

Some of our wonderful team leaders!

Tessie - Biked around to make sure no one got lost and everyone was safe.

Great job everyone!  Hard work pays off!  We can't wait to see this team cross the finish line.

Runners Forum to the Rescue!

As many of you know, we have been in search of shoe sponsorship and donations over the past few months.  In our search for any help we could get - Runners Forum stepped up to the plate and gave us a very generous 20 percent discount AND donated a pair of fabulous running socks to each student who is fitted for shoes.

THANK YOU RUNNERS FORUM

As the donations come in, we will be sending more team members to be fitted by the experts at Runners Forum.

Thanks a million for helping our team!



Why do you run?

Although it is sometimes hard to get started- there are so many reasons to get out the door and get the miles in.  Here are two of our favorite reasons for getting out the door.

1. Without a doubt, when you are done - you will be in a better mood! 

2. It's fun when you have friends to run with who are aiming for a similiar goal.

Thursdays are my Favorite day of the Week!

Check out these pictures and videos and you'll understand why:

On Thursday we walked from Tech to the Canal and did a full loop around the canal.  The kids loved being on the canal.  "This would be a perfect place for a date" is what Bethany said as we made the loop. We really enjoyed spending time together and accomplishing the goal of 7 miles for the day.  Most of the kids did a run/walk today.  Shalonda decided she was going to run a block, walk a block - and she did just that for the entire 7 miles. 

We are so proud of this crew!

Thank you so much to Kitti's husband and daughter for setting up a water stop for us at mile 2 and 5!

Way to go Tyla!
