FYI. Please see the information below. We are meeting tonight for the 1st of our Law Day 5K training runs at the track at Belleville East (we will gather at West Pointe's parking lot).
The Belleville Running Club is participating in St Clair County's
Get Up & Go health initiative, and
Our goal is to help motivate people to take up running by helping them train for their first race (or their first race in a long time). We hope that each of our members can help someone new make their running debut at the Law Day Run on May 3rd, 2008." (
Get Up & Go is a Health and Fitness Challenge for Communities, Groups and Organizations of
St. Clair County, Illinois)
To everyone out there who is an experienced runner: Start encouraging your friends who have been talking about taking up running to train with us and make the Law Day Run their 1st 5k.
To everyone out there who has been waiting for that perfect time to really get into running, here is your chance.
This is what we have put together for a training schedule:
