HOP Fit Club

Tonight I am getting together with the core group of the HOP Fit Club to iron out the details for the 2010 season.

For those of you who don't know what this club is….

4 years ago, Newman, Brandon and myself started the club simply to motivate us to stay fit get together and have some good times.  The first year we had 12 members.  We had some jerseys made up that we wore to the events we did.  The following year it grew to 40 members.  Last year we doubled again reaching 80 members.  

It's great seeing all the HOP Fit Club jerseys at all of the events.  Are two biggest showings have historically been the Earth Day Half Marathon and the Apple Duathlon.

We're hoping to have another season with a lot of members.  
If you enjoy or are looking to get into running, road biking, mountain biking, and triathlons come to the meeting on Feb 25th at the House of Pizza downtown.

Hope to see you there.

Jingle Bell 5k 2010

I ran the Jingle Bell 5k for the first time a couple weeks back.  The weather was great, about 50 degrees.  I didn’t train much for this run, not that I really ever do for any runs though.  Finished with a time of about 27mins 19seconds.  I didn’t break any records but it was fun.  The breakfast at Jimmy’s afterwards was a good time too. I think this will be an annual run here on out.
