It's Injury Prevention Week!

Hi Everyone!

We had a fantastic GTS at Stone Mountain on Saturday. I always forget how beautiful it is there. Thanks to all that came out!

We have some great stuff lined up this week too! We have our Tuesday night GTS tonight at the Big Peach Running Company in Decatur. There are only a few Tuesday's left to get your Nike Run Club punch for cool prizes!

One of the most devastating things to happen to a runner or walker is to get injured prior to their big race. This Saturday we will be having our Injury Prevention Clinic. Dr. Charles Peebles from the Atlanta Foot and Ankle Center will be giving you all the tips you need to remain injury free. Dr. Peebles is one of the premier doctors in Atlanta that works with runners and walkers. Please come and take advantage of him! He will answer questions and always brings a gift for all of the participants. The clinic will take place prior to the GTS at:

The Big Peach Running Company- Brookhaven

3881 Peachtree Road

Atlanta, GA 30319

7:00 AM

Please come and join us!!

The Sun FINALLY Came Out For Team Challenge Georgia!

After weeks of soggy group training sessions, it was so nice to have a lovely sunny morning to meet up! The team met at Chattahoochee River and we all had a really great run/walk! It was beautiful and a change from the city roads we normally run and walk on.

Although, I always hope for a day like yesterday, the reality is you sometimes don't get great weather on race day. When I ran the Athens Marathon in Greece, I had to run in knee deep water in freezing rain (the day before it was warm in sunny). You just never know what weather is going to be like on race day. Try and run or walk in all kinds of weather (except dangerous weather of course). You will be prepared for whatever race day brings you!

We have a great time at our training sessions, come out and join us! Go to http://www.ccteamchallenge.org/ to find out where we will be!

I wanted to let everyone know that we will have part two in the series of fundraising clinics on Thursday, April 15, 2008 at 6:60 PM the CCFA office. We will also have a letter stuffing party! Bring your letters (new or follow ups) to the meeting with your lists and we can help you address and stuff!

GO TEAM CHALLENGE!!
