Hi to all you fit mamas!

Assesments for Aug
Next Wed the 3oth!

Mom's Breakfast Out
Join us at Hobbee's in Mtn. View on Sat, Oct 7th at 9 am.  We will be celebrating an awesome start to M&M Boot Camp and those of us that completed the Triathlon.  This is a JUST MOM event...leave babies at home with dad.

Santa Cruz Turkey Trot Training
There is a fun walk/run in Santa Cruz the weekend before Thanksgiving.  I have wanted to do this for a couple of years and this is the year!  We will be training for this as a group on Saturday mornings starting in Oct for 6 weeks.  You have your choice of walking or running either a 5k (3.1 miles) or a 10k (6.2 miles).  Babies are more than welcome to join us, as are dads.  There will be a nominal $60 per person training fee which includes coaching/instruction via email and the 6 weeks of training.  Deatials to sign up for the actual race to follow.  Please email me if you have questions or to sign up.

Mommy, Daddy & Me Boot Camp special
Let's try to make these a monthly event on the 2nd Sunday of every month.  A great way to end the weekend and kick off the week.  4-5pm.  Daddies are free their first class or the normal $5 rate.

Halloween Party
A few of us have talked about having a little party for our lil' ones in their costumes at Cuesta.  I have a time down for 4-6 pm on the 31st which is a Tuesday.

New Home Page & New Postings
I have changed up the home page, as you might have noticed.  I will try to keep the current schedule up there, but be sure to peruse the calendar as well for other classes and training events.  I have a new posting that will go out to welcome new members and tell them more about us and my background.  You can look at this posting under Files > Dear new member.doc.

You probably already saw that there was a new nutritional handout posted.  This will kick off my series about eating for a healthy gut and how to cut right through the confusion of all the conflicting dietary approaches in the media today.  I am sure a lot of this info will be revolutionary and contradic what you have heard/learned in the past years.  Please don't hesitate to start a conversation about this information on this group page.  We can all benefit from discussion and debate.  I can't promise I will know the answers to all your questions, but I am continually reading and educating myself and love to share the wealth. 

Courtside Stroller Class
For those of you not able to make my Cuesta Park class, I will be starting to teach M/W from 10:30 am - 11:30 am at Courtside Club (www.courtsideclub.com) in Los Gatos.  Classes start Wed, Sept 6th.  I don't have control over the prices at this club, and it will be substantially more than my own class.  However, Courtside is a beautiful club with 2 pools, the best fitness floor I have ever seen, a wonderful and dedicated child care, amazing ammenities and so much more you would get to take advantage of with the class.  My director has promised she will help workout a great deal for any of my group members that want to join this class.  So, I just thought I would put this out there.  Please let me know if you are interested.

Healthy living & eating seminar
Just thought I would put this one out there as well.  Not sure on a date, but thinking sometime after the first of the year.  I would be looking at teaching you as much as I know in a few hours about native nutrition (www.radiantlifecatalog.com, www.themakersdiet.com, www.gardenoflife.com to name a few resources), provide you with tips to make your time in the kitchen easier and more effecient, answer your questions and more.  I am not a certified nutritionist, as you know, but have a passion for healing my body with nutrient dense food - a more traditional medicine!  More information to follow.
