Movement Matters

Final minutes of the run at Age Group Nationals in Burlington, VT

Our bodies are designed to move. Excessive sitting, an eight hour day qualifies, wreaks havoc on our bodies. Physically and mentally we need to recharge and nourish our muscles and joints with movement. My preffered choice is triathlons and hiking. That does not need to be yours. Zumba, basketball, and walking are all possibilities. The key is to find something you enjoy. With enjoyment comes consistency. With consistency comes results. Those results put you on a path to better health. We then feel better in our bodies and throughout our day.

In this month's newsletter I offer three ways to your movement on. Hopefully one of these (a destination marathon, a beginner Manchester Road Race training program and yoga classes) will appeal to you. If not, what can I offer that would entice you? I'd love to hear from you. Please email me and let's talk.

Utah:Destination Marathon Training

Get out of your own backyard and experience another area of this great big, diverse country. Have you ever been to Utah before? I was there back in 2004, with my friend from Germany, Annett as part of a west coast adventure. I was captivated by the red rocks and bright blue sky of southern Utah. My partnership with Bill Honeck has made it possible for me to return. This time to run a marathon and were are bringing a crew along with us. Join us for a five day vacation, March 28th- April 1st 2013. You are bound to have questions. Seek out answers by reading the FAQs and the Itinerary.

Manchester Road Race Coaching

Thanksgiving Day runs are a popular way to start this day of feasting. My Dad and I have a 14 year tradition of running the Troy Turkey Trot. This year, we're changing it up for two reasons. First we now own a home perfect for entertaining our family. Secondly, I've partnered with my wonderful naturopath, Dr. Young (formerly Dr. Gouin) of Connecticut Natural Health Specialists to offer a nine week group coaching program. It's the No-K to Tur-K program. Her Manchester based practice is rallying around this popular 4.7 mile tradition. The kick off meeting is Tuesday, September 25th at the COURTHOUSE Fitness and Wellness in Vernon. It's not too late to sign up. Call the office at 860-533-0179 to register. This program includes:

Tailored Training (designed by me!) to get you up and moving
2-3 Evening Sessions for Goal Setting, Nutrition/Meal Plans and a Grand Finale Party the day of the race including prizes and T-shirts
9 week membership to COURTHOUSE Fitness and Wellness
Weekly email updates and inspirations
All this for $50!
