Do you want to start running? Do you know someone who might? Send them our way!
The LexRunLadies are partnering with the PTA 5K and the YMCA to prepare another group of new runners for their first 5K.
Training will begin the week of August 26th for the race on October 21st. There are two options for training – Sunday at 4pm at the Northside YMCA and Monday at 6pm at the Beaumont Y. Several of your LexRunLadies friends are participating as volunteer coaches.
The 4pm Sunday run will replace our Sunday evening runs. Even though the training program is focused on beginning runners, all of you are welcome to join us for either our drills or to run your own program on Sundays. Sunday runs will be fun – we’ll be running hill sprints, fartleks, lots of fun stuff. Any runner can benefit from these drills. (And I’ll feel more comfortable leading them if I have familiar faces in the group, hint, hint.)
Here are some more links to get you started:

If we are wanting to show up for the drills-do we need to sign up or just show up?
Just show up on Sundays!
I can’t start until the third week, is it still ok to join?
