The Beer Mile Dress Rehearsal
This past Friday a few of our members grabbed a couple of cases of Bubly and a stack of SOLO cups and headed to the track to practice the upcoming Beer Mile. It was a fun hour of attempting to chug a carbonated beverage and sprint with a belly full of fluids. Needless to say, there was a lot of belching and laughter.
Our first (and hopefully not last) Beer Mile is on Saturday, June 29th at the Summers Spirits Fesitval in Rockland, ON. For more information and to register go to: https://www.russellrunclub.com/thebeermile

Blog: A Journey to a New Focus on Running
One of the challenges of some runners experience is the comparison to a fitter, younger self. It can lead to frustration when trying to nail workouts, achieve personal bests or even winning races. Coach Michelle was not immune to this. In her latest blog, she writes about the challenges she has experienced with a change in lifestyle and the inevitable reality of aging and how it impacted her running. A few conversations with her personal trainer made her realized that she is now finding joy in the new running community she is trying to build.
