Couch to 5K Begins Monday
|
|
Monday is Patriot's Day in Boston and that also means the running of the Boston Marathon. Closer to home, it means that its time to prepare for the June 12 Corporate Cup Run/Walk. For all those serious about stepping up to running in this year's 5K Run/Walk, the Y is here to show you how! Starting Monday, they will begin a special training program designed to get you ready to run in June.
Normally, the program costs $25, but its free for corporate cup competitors.
Participants should meet at the gazebo on the Ansonia Riverwalk along Division Street.
If you are interested, contact Mark LaFortune at the "Y" for information and to enroll. You can call him at 203 736-1435 or e-mail at mlafortune@ccymca.org.

A new bonus - "Count Your Steps"
|
|
We also have a great new incentive to improve everyone's level of activity whether you will be running in June or not. We're giving away free pedometers for everyone in the Healthy Team event, everyone planning to run in June - or anyone who just wants to get more fit.
This is a bonus point event for Healthy Team. You can earn up to 5 bonus points. Points will be earned for averaging the following number of steps from April 14 to May 17:
70,000 steps=5 pts 60,000 steps= 4 pts 50,000 steps-= 3 pts 40,000 steps = 2 pts 30,000 steps= 1pt And now it will also be a special bonus event for the Corporate Cup itself. Your company can earn up to 5 bonus points - one for each person (up to a maximum of 5 - not including healthy team participants) meeting the target level. Each company can have up to 10 people participate, but only the five best will earn points, and the team bonus will be whatever the lowest achieving member of the group of 5 earns.
Send in your registration now, and contact us immediately so that you have your pedometers in time to get started.
