Need a Training Plan???
If you are planning to run in a race sometime this summer or fall, you are probably thinking about how you will train! I have found an awesome tool for mapping out my training schedule. http://www.runnersworld.com/ has what they call "SmartCoach." It lets you put in your distance, pace, number or weeks, etc, and it gives you a specialized plan just for you. Its a very useful tool, and I highly recommend it. Check it out!
Also, don't forget that this Saturday May 9 is our next run! Meet at 8 am in Foster Park at pavilion #1 (the big one). I will have your shirts for you, also!

Get signed up for Fort4Fitness!!
September 25-26, 2009, Fort Wayne is having its 2nd annual Fort 4 Fitness event. It includes a health fair, health food expo, a half marathon, and a 4 mile run, among other excited things! The 5,000 person limit on the race will fill up fast, so get signed up soon at www.fort4fitness.org
This would be a great opportunity for us to train together for this race and keep each other accountable to running (or walking). I will also get a couple of good training plans up on the blog if you need some guidance and a plan to stick to (which is a must if you are going to be running that far!). Sign up soon!

Come Run with us on Thursday!!
Hey friends! Our next run will be this Thursday April 23 at 6:30 pm. We will meet at Foster Park in Pavilion #1 (the bigger one). We will spend just a couple minutes talking about the situation in DRC and pray. Then we'll get into a couple of groups based on running vs. walking and head out for a few miles. It is supposed to be beautiful by Thursday so it will be a great time to outside!
As before, if you know of anyone that would like to join us, feel free to bring them along! Also, I am trying to get an actual calender up on this blog so you can look ahead to the whole month, but as I've said before, I am still learning how to do this whole 'blog' thing! In the meantime, you can look forward to Thursday and also to next Wednesday for an opportunity to get together and watch the film "Sometimes in April." (Its about the genocide in Rwanda that has continued to affect the people of DRC).
Contact me if you have any questions! run4congo@gmail.com

COMING SOON!
Very soon there will be a way that you can run (or walk or bike or whatever you prefer) for a PURPOSE! The Club Congo Running club will be starting up in partnership with Project 58 at Fellowship Missionary Church in Fort Wayne, IN. Project 58 is centered around working towards peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country ravaged by war and suffering for many years. Get ready to join us as we seek to raise awareness of this tragedy through our common thread of running.
