The goal of our club will be to bring the joy and health advantages of running, jogging and walking to everyone regardless of age or ability. All you need to join is the commitment to be in shape. Initially we will meet at the Laurelhurst Park Community Center on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:00 am for one hour. We will run, walk or run/walk the loop course around the park for 38 minutes each morning. The remaining 22 minutes will be spent doing crunches, push ups, lunges, arm bends and stretches. Eventually we may even throw in some hills and train to race. Since the club is brand new, any feedback as to how it should be formed and what it should offer would be extremely helpful. As the club develops, we could add evening runs and longer courses...who knows we may even create a few Laurelhurst fun runs!

UPDATE ****
There is now going to be a group that starts running at 6:30am, and another that starts at 7am. The 6:30am group will run from 6:30 - 7:10am, and then do exercises for the last 20 minutes (abs, lunges etc.). The 7am group will run for the first 10 minutes, do exercises for the next 20, and then run for another 30 minutes. We will all be doing the exercises together. Hopefully this will accommodate all!
