BEGINNING RUNNERS CLASS(ES)
KCTC is ready to help you carry out those New Year's resolutions! If you are new to the running scene or think it's something you want to try, come on out to one of our beginning runners classes that start up this week! It's a great way for people to get their feet wet and be around people that are likewise novices. Our Beginning Runners Classes are led by encouraging and educated coaches that are determined to see you succeed! Each class features a brief informative lesson followed by a group run of varying distances.
In addition to our regular Monday beginners class, we will be offering a second class on Thursday evenings. This gives new runners an opportunity to run with other people twice a week, increasing their likelihood of staying committed. It also gives you flexibility if Mondays just don't work for you. Feel free to attend one or both of our classes. Details are listed below and on our website:
Monday Class: meets at Garry Gribble's Running Sports in the Ward Parkway Center (85th & State Line Rd.) with a lesson at 5:45 PM and run at 6 PM. Cost is FREE.
Thursday Class: meets at Elite Cycle (10673 Mission Road, Leawood, KS 66206) with a lesson at 6:15 PM and run at 6:30 PM. Cost is $10.
You must be a KCTC member to attend either class (membership is $20/year and includes a free apparel item when you sign up!).

RUNNING ON SOLID GROUND
Our winter lecture series continues on Tuesday, February 12th, when sports nutritionist Rebecca McConville teaches us how to improve our running performance and health through a self-assessment of our diet. This was one of the most popular sessions of the 2012 series as every runner wants to know what to eat and when to eat.
Apparel and gift certificates will be raffled off at each lecture! Join us afterward at Spin! Pizza for discounted goodness. The lectures are FREE and meet at the Kansas City Plaza Library on the second Tuesday evening of the month (through April) from 6:30 PM to 7:30.
