A New Season

It is shaping up to be another great season. Not only do we have members staying on from our 10K season, we have some really great new people coming on board as well! People with goals ranging from improving their 5K time to running their first Marathon. We are going to have a great time these next 6 months!!

We have such a really great group of people. Every time we suggest getting together for dinner we always have 10-20 people there! We plan on staying for just a couple of hours and end up staying for sometimes 4 hours or more! You would think we would be all talked out after running through the week and on Saturdays. But, no, not quite! We find that we have plenty in common outside of running. Food, Music, Books, Travel....all sorts of topics to sit around for hours talking about over food and drinks.

The best part is, we aren't just running together, we are becoming friends. Some might even become lifetime friends.

How's that for being a part of "just" a running group?!

Happy Running!

End of our Second Season

I can't believe it is already the end of our second season of USA Fit Gwinnett. It has been a really great season. We had (have) some really great members and made some great friendships along the way too! It is really a great thing to be a part of something so great. The transformations that people have been making, the goals that have been reached (and even surpassed), the friendships, the fun!

I feel like a proud parent when I see members hugging their coach at the end of season party saying things like "You are the best coach ever!". I feel so fortunate to have coaches who are so willing to give of themselves to help someone else! This program would be nothing without these wonderful coaches!

Our last run of the season will be the Peachtree Road Race, and I hope that everyone of my members has an incredible race and enjoys the benefits of having trained well all spring long for this!
