Celestine Group update

We ended our most recent 12 week group of Healthy Habits last night and will be looking to start our next group after a two week break. We will probably start our next group in the first week of May. With summer schedules being so busy, we will most likely have to look at a different day of the week to accommodate everybody’s baseball/softball schedules. We will finalize that tonight, but wanted to give you a heads up on our upcoming sessions.



With the summer schedule being so busy, we will only have a 7 week commitment. The first meeting will be to weigh in and information sharing. The six meetings after this, we will actually begin training for a 5K. For some individuals their goal will be to simply walk a 5K, for others, their goal will be to run a 5K. We will have 4 groups, with 4 group leaders. We will have a group for walkers, a group who want to walk 75%, and run 25%, a group that will walk 25% and run 75%, and a group who wishes to run the entire race. You will decide what your goal is, and you will be able to adjust it throughout the 6 weeks if you decide that you want to run more, or less. During this time, we will weigh in and have our top 15 Losers listed, with the top three losers winning money at the end, just as in the past. The cost is $15.00 each participant.

As a follow up to the 5K training, the following 12 week session we will begin to train for a ½ marathon with the same principle of having the 4 groups as in the 5K training. Remember, you can train with us for the benefits of training and to workout in a group, but if you choose not to do the ½ marathon that is up to you (We will look into doing the one in Evansville on October 10th). Again, I will have additional information after Tuesday’s meeting. If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call at home, 389-1323 or e-mail me - Angie Sander (humdc@psci.net)
