Calling all Ladies/Moms/Interested
Women, who are walkers, runners, involved in fitness or who aspire to be...
We are starting up a
Bates Girls Running Club, this semester, and need you! This is the
plan...
Club to start February 10th--goal
Club to be offered on
Monday and Thursday, after school, 3-4 pm Monday will require parent
pick-up or car pooling. Thus. there are buses.
Open to girls in all
grades, for any build or athletic ability
Start as walk-run,
progress toward the completion of the Bates Arts in Motion 5K, on Saturday, May 3rd.
We expect different
athletic levels and will coach accordingly.
We hope this is about more than just exercise. We hope this builds
new friendships allows for encouragement, goal setting and gaining a sense of
accomplishment. It is loosely based on "Girls on the Run", but
a little less formal & without any fees.
Teachers will be
involved and we hope to have a few area coaches, join us. But we can't
pull it off without parents. We don't need you at every meeting, but
welcome that. Even if you can only help on a few days, that's great! We
are also looking for one or two, who could offer a little more time to help
organize & plan the workouts, with me.
Most of us are in the
negative on time. Look at this as a way to get in your exercise (or warm
up) and do something good for our Bates girls. Your effort will be
rewarded.
Please respond, if you
can help. Please encourage any run Moms, that you know.
Join us for a run club
meeting, if you can--Wednesday February 5th, 3pm in Bates Media Ctr., 2nd
floor. We will outline
the plan and set up a calendar.
Thanks for your time
to consider this!
