MS Walk 2010
I am asking you to please join my team, The Rain City Runners, on April 25th for a 5k run around Stanley Park to raise money and awareness for the MS Society of Canada
“Run? I can’t run!” you say?
Yes you can!!
For my part, and as an incentive, I am offering a free graduated running clinic starting January 26th.
Who
Everybody and anybody.
Both my 9 year old couch-potato son and my track & field superstar husband are getting involved!
What
The program is based on gradual interval training designed to get you running 5k without injury.
Whether your starting from scratch, terribly unmotivated or nursing a shin splint or two you CAN do this run and I will be there to teach you how.
Where
We’ll be meeting at the Starbucks on the corner of Cornwall & Yew then head over to the beach for some good times.
When
Every Tuesday and Thursday at 7:30pm and Saturday mornings at 10am. We’ll be approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour including stretching.
Why
You’ll be contributing to a great cause, you will be inspired, you will be motivated and you will be spending time with some really cool people and don’t forget about the joy of moving your muscles!
Also, you just can’t beat the feeling of accomplishment and camaraderie!
Proceeds from MS Society fundraising events fund research with three primary goals: to find a cause and cure for MS, repair nervous system damage caused by MS and stop MS attacks. I believe we can end multiple sclerosis. Please give generously.
This is the link that will take you to the team home page where people can donate and track the amount of money raised.

Hi!!!
I want to join but I can only do Saturdays as I’ve got Zumba and Salsa on the other two nights. Will this still be possible?

Definitely!
I’ll be posting the program for the day so that those of us at home can follow along when we have the time.
It will be great to have you on board even if it is for Saturday mornings, and think of the accomplishment you’ll feel on the day of the run!!
Cheers,
Danielle

[...] In between all this delicious food prep and before it’s all consumed I’ll be tweaking the new program cards I created and adding more details to the free running clinic. [...]
