Hello! I have finally been able to get a nice start on planning the Run/Walkathon on the 23rd of April! So far, here are the tentative rules. I say tentative because I have never planned anything like this before, so I might have to change them as I go:)
When: April 23rd, 2011
Where: Grandville High School Track
Time: Registration 10:30am, starts at 12:00pm, ends at 4:00pm
$5 to enter
Running and/or walking is allowed, there will be separate lanes allowed for running and for walking.
You may sign up by yourself or with a team.
A team can stay together the whole time or do a relay.
You must be there at the start, you may leave when you want.
No strollers, bikes, or roller blades.
Each participant will receive an envelope they can use to collect donations for this event. There will be a prize for the individual who raises the most money.
The donations can be turned in at the registration.
We will have food, water, aid station, and bathrooms available the whole time.
I am going to need some volunteers to help me pull this off, so I will list the areas I will need help with and please let me know if you would like to help or know anybody that would.
AID Station: I will need 3 volunteers, preferably with CPR training and AED training, a medical degree such as RN, NP, PA, etc.. It would be nice if they can stay the whole time.
Water Station - 3 volunteers
Food Station - 3 volunteers
Registration - 3 volunteers - these volunteers should be able to participate if they would like:)
Like I said, this is all tentative. Depending on how many people participate, I may need more or less volunteers.
This will be a blast! We will have a chance to raise a lot of money and really help some local children who need it:) This weekend I will be putting together the sign up sheet and figuring out how people will be able to access it. I will keep you posted - if you have any ideas or tips for me...please feel free to let me know!
Well, I am loving this weather! I ran 4.6 miles this morning and it felt great!!! It was sooo warm and there was almost no icy spots:) I was able to go at my normal speed and I felt like I was flying! Yesterday at boot camp we did some HIIT's (High Intensity Interval Training). We went to our secret "dungeon" and did 12 - 20 second sprints. It was a great exercise and I am feeling it in my abs and legs today:) Tomorrow I'm not sure what we are doing - if it is warm out, I'm sure we will do a tempo run or something outside. Then Saturday is the big 16 miles:) Looking forward to that distance:) Thanks for reading!
