REMINDER

Just a reminder that Run Club will finish at 9AM tomorrow because of VBS. Please plan accordingly. We will begin and end and the small park shelter.

Thanks

Fun and Sun on the Run

First of all, I apologize for the cheesy title. I just wanted to add a quick note that any of the runners who are attending VBS are more than welcome to leave early (or skip run club) . . .as long as your parents know. Most of the kids can be done as early as 8:30 if they run a shorter distance and skip out on the stretching. This Friday, we will be playing games and ending run club at 9AM!!! Notice this is different from last Friday when we ended at 9:30. We won't be having breakfast since most runners will be at VBS this week. I hope to see you all at run club and I hope that you stay cool and well hydrated. The past few weeks we learned the running basics: stretching, warming up and cooling down, proper running form and road manners. THIS week, we will learn the importance of hydration and proper heat management (appropriate for the temperatures to come!)

Here are some pictures from our fun day on Friday. A special thanks for Don and Kathy Pflederer for making breakfast! If anyone else is interested in providing some grub, just let me know!

Run Club Breakfast

Our first run club breakfast will be hosted by Don Pflederer this Friday, June 19th. As usual, we will meet at the small shelter at 8am. Everyone will play a running game and then we will go to the Pflederer's house to eat.

PLEASE pick up your kids AT THE PFLEDERER'S HOUSE by 9:30am. They live at 213 W. Tazewell St. in Tremont (Just a few blocks West of the City Park). Here is a link to an online map:

Run Club Volunteers at Turkey Fest

The Tremont Summer Run Club lended a hand to the community by volunteering at the Tremont Turkey Festival Food line. We were fortunate enough to receive some funds from the Tremont Betterment Association, and decided that a day of service would be the best way to express our gratitude. Thanks to all the runners who came to help out! I recieved several comments from Food-Line chairmen that your work was appreciated!

Here are some pictures from yesterday's activities:

First Run Club!

As most of you HOPEFULLY have heard. The first official run club is THIS WEDNESDAY from 8am to 9am. REMEMBER THAT WE ALSO HAVE A SHORT PARENT'S MEETING AT 9AM AFTER RUN CLUB. (Just find me when you pick your child up so I can meet you and answer any questions).

ALSO, this Friday we will still meet at 8am. Fridays usually end at 9:30, however, we have decided to volunteer our time to help with set-up at the Turkey Festival Food line from 8-11am. Kids are welcome to stay as long as they want (8-11), and we will be at the park the entire time. For those who are unaware, the Tremont Betterment Association has donated some money to the run club and our volunteer service at the Turkey Festival is just a small token of our gratitude for their kindness. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

***Since we are volunteering this Friday, there will be no guest speaker or breakfast.
