Saturday highlights

Two miles this week -- we're halfway there! This is the main group's first week on the road, so please be careful and stay on the sidewalk. We'll be gathering in pace groups on the track before running. They are determined by your mile time recorded last week. Pink Ladies will hold up signs with "8-9 minutes," "10-11 minutes," etc. If you find your group is too slow or fast for you, you can drop back or run ahead, whichever is appropriate.
The main rule is stick with your fellow runners. Don't go off by yourself.

Runners and walkers also are always allowed to stay on the track, if you're more comfortable.

Also of note: T-shirts for participants will be on sale this week for $10. And the shoe companies will be here for a second week. Next week is their last.

Speaker: Rita Smith, Martha Jeff head nutritionist, will discuss what we're supposed to be eating to stay healthy. You may want to make a post-run trip to the City Market! Pink Lady Pat Huston, a physical therapist at MJH, will hold an early (7:15 a.m.) session on Kegel exercises (see "Break out!" post below).
