Greetings!
We recently had the distinct and honorable pleasure of meeting marathon great and revolutionary within the movement of women's athletics; Katherine Switzer. An amazing woman with an amazing story, I'm particularly excited to have a story to someday share with Lucy when she sees her autographed copy of Katherine's book for  her.
Who knows if Lucy will like running? She comes from a long line of athletic women--not, highly talented, but active. Lucy's Great-Great-Great Aunt was a P.E. Teacher and tennis standout during a time when few women were involved in sports. Her Grandmother, my mom, ran her first marathon at 60 and hasn't looked back.
As a new mom I am acutely aware of how my choices will affect her. In our line of work, I see mothers and fathers every day modeling positive behaviors & choices. Their children are watching. I'd like to think that eventually I will get back to marathoning when our lives settle down a bit; maybe there's even another Ironman left in me. In the meantime, the image of Lucy riding a bike next to mom on a morning run seeps into my mind on busy days and keeps me looking forward to that shared time.
If similar thoughts/concerns cross your mind, I invite you to join us for No Boundaries. Why? Because every session I see people changing their lives. Because of the women I see completing things they didn't think their bodies could do. Because of men who have survived health issues and are making better choices for themselves and in turn their families. Because of the Mentors, past participants who want to share their experiences with others in the same boat.
Lucy will be there...will you?
Cheers!
Jeremy, Leah, and Lucy

Product Spotlight: Nuun
| | Enhance Your Water, Boost Your Performance
NUUN is an electrolyte enhanced drink tablet formulated to dissolve in water and designed to keep you optimally hydrated wherever you are. NUUN's special formulation of electrolytes helps increase the amount of water that's absorbed into the blood stream. That means more of the water you drink is actually used to hydrate you instead of being eliminated because the electrolyte balance wasn't right.  NUUN is not energy. NUUN was designed just for hydration.
Keep yourself hydrated during these hot summer months with New Flavors of NUUN: Grape, Fruit Punch, Tropical Punch, Lemon Tea, and Strawberry Lemonade |
