Tri On the Run Training starts JAN 3rd

Hey all - my friend Alex is trainer/coach at Tri on the Run. This is the program Sarah and I did last year to prep for the Lone Star Triathlon. It was a great program and I enjoyed meeting the people in the group, and it was all levels, ages and sizes which helped me get into that bathing suit for the swim. :)

Details are below! Email Alex Corredor if you are thinking about signing up - he can answer questions. And please let him know i sent you:
lexcorredor@aol.com
 
 

 
The NEW and IMPROVED Tri on the Run Training Program that will make YOU a BETTER triathlete. The program is a 16 week comprehensive training program taught by experienced, compassionate coaches. Training includes the group bike rides, runs and swimming, as well as new elements added this year for your benefit, such as:
 
*  Coach discussion….Before each workout a coach will have a planned subject to discuss with group
 
*  Core Ball….Core exercises will be done prior to spin class
 
*  Email or phone by coach….Each participant will have a coach contact them by email or phone each week to keep communication open during the training program and to build motivation.
 
* Designated levels (beginner to advanced)….Participants will be divided into proper performance levels and have a separate coach for each level.
 
 * Run….Running Mechanics - We will add run workouts to the program to improve participants running form.
 
 * Swim....New Endless Pool at Fitness Center.
 
*  Bike....Focus on cadence, cycling gears and heart rate.
 
*  Mental aspect....we will train participants to not only be stronger physically, but stronger mentally as well.  Each Coach will share their experiences and teach techniques to become mentally stronger.
 
 * Nutrition….Continue to offer informative nutrition seminars by experts in the field.  Participants will also receive recipes specifically designed for you by your coach.  We will help guide you about what to eat and proper plate portions for you (Protein/Fruits/Vegetables/Wheat).
 
We know the these new tools added to our 2010 program will help YOU be a BETTER triathlete! 
 
 
Orientation will be January 3rd .

Kroger and SNAP

Shopping for a Better World
Time to Re-Enroll in the Kroger Neighbor-to-Neighbor Program

Did you enroll in Kroger's Neighbor-to-Neighbor program last year? The 2008 program ended in May of this year, and SNAP received $2,903.24 thanks to your participation! Now it's time to re-enroll for the 2009 program year. If you didn't participate last year, you can still enroll for this year's program. The program offers you the opportunity to help dogs and cats without it costing you a penny!

How do you sign up? Just take a copy of the SNAP Neighbor-to-Neighbor program letter to Kroger the next time you go shopping. Hand the letter and your Kroger Plus card to the cashier when you check-out, and he or she will scan the bar code on the letter. You only need do this once to be enrolled for the entire year. How does SNAP benefit?

Once you have enrolled, every purchase you make until May of 2010 will accumulate points for SNAP. When the program ends, Kroger will divide up the princely sum of one million dollars between all participating agencies. How much of the total each group receives is based on the number of points they received as a percentage of the total points received by all groups. More points equals more bucks for spay-neuter, so get shopping!
