The New Year has begun and if you’re like us it’s been a struggle to keep those resolutions! But, struggle doesn’t mean defeat and we are so excited that you have made the decision to run in the Fifth Third River Bank Run this coming May. If you haven’t heard, training runs have been scheduled during these next 5 months in order to help keep you in shape physically and mentally as you push on with your running resolutions! We’re inviting you to turn your running woes into running WOWs by joining with other runners like yourself and heading out to the training runs this season! Surprise yourself – you can do this!

The first training run of 2012 is Saturday, January 7th at 8am – it will be led by coaches from Gazelle Sports and will take place at the David D. Hunting YMCA (475 Lake Michigan Drive). We will be there after the run in bright green Alpha Women’s Center shirts so make sure you find us in the crowd or at our Celebration Station and sign up to partner with us this year in making Strides for Life!
