It is so important to constantly challenge ourselves physically. We are people wanting to influence each other and others we meet along the way.
This is where we can get workouts for the day, track your times, pr's, ask and reply to questions and comments.

This is also where we will share what events we are participating in and opening them up to the rest of the team to take part in.

THE Celebration



Yesterday~ had a lot to celebrate!

First:  A BIG double clap for our first timers up in Door County!!  Big congrats to Julie and Finstad for running in their first half marathon!!  Julie clocked in at 2:18!  Such an AWESOME feat with the hilly half marathon course.  Along with them was another first-timer too!  Dana ran her first 5k
We got to see these three a few weeks back @ Coach's end of the season celebration!  It is truly something to simply converse with others on things they have going on in life and see the passion they have behind their words when it comes to being active and challenging themselves.  This group thrives off of each other... and, as we all know, there is nothing better than knowing the people closest are your biggest, positive influence.





Second:  A fun lil surprise 20th anniversary to the Biolos.... after the crazy morning.
Goal: Re-propose to Traci.... in front of PeOpLe!!!  Boy was he nervous!
Objective: When she (finally) makes it into the hole.. have her come on over to celebrate and some where along the line 'pop' the question




She said, "Yes!".....  was there really another option?!
FINALLY:  JIGSAW + a TWIST

Why do a regular 6k for the 4th time in a row... 
Why not spice it up a bit, and we're not just talkin about our outfits!

There are a few more to add to the group picture and a possible video thanks to DG for runnin along with us for his week's segment of RecapRapids....

But when it is all said and done:

Everything Means More When You Have Others To Share It With!

Not only did we get to be with new friends and got to officially meet the ROWS Presidente (and he has given me a 'first' which was not captured by camera so only those there will have the visual of me and my first encounter with a 'fun bag').  We also got to work together to accomplish an awesome challenge!

Walk, Run, or Roll and you have others around you to make the experience that much MORE!

Next Up (for those that are willing & able) :
Urban Bike Adventure - 5.26.12 (Madison)
Memorial Day Murph - 5.28.12 (Rapids)
