The Running Room Club Update:
Sudbury Store (Cedar Pointe Plaza)
Hi everyone-
Well done to all those who are completing their training
this week for the upcoming Ottawa Race Weekend! You’ve
all put in some long, hard hours and now you’ll
reap the benefits in having a nice, smooth race. Way
to go!
Here’s a quick reminder list for all you athletes
who are heading out this week:
1. shoes
2. walking / running apparel: shirt, shorts, bra
(for half of us), socks
3. water belt
4. gel
5. watch / heart rate monitor / GPS
6. cap
7. bodyglide
8. timing chip
9. race number
For a last minute accessory, which I think is just
the bee’s knees, check out our Race Number Belts.
These are reflective elastic belts, which, rather
than putting holes all over your favourite shirts,
are used for your race bib. They retail at $9.99 and
are a great investment for saving your clothes!
We have a new set of clinics beginning the first
week of June. Jessica Guenard-Valiquette is a returning
instructor and part-time staff member who always brings
exceptional guidance to her clinic members. She has
previously instructed the Learn to Run, For Women
Only and 5K Run Clinics. Starting June 1st, she will
be leading the Learn to Run Clinic, and on June 5th,
she will lead the For Women Only Clinic. I look forward
to Jessica’s bright personality and seeing all
the fun everyone will have in their groups!
What an accomplishment for me! -- Diane Stacey
"I've been at the track & field and road
races for over 12 years watching my boys run. I really
never thought I could do it but have always wanted
to run. I joined the Running Room Learn to Run for
Ladies Only on March 31, 2003. Not only did I find
out that I could do it but I found some very lasting
friendships. I've done three clinics in total and
I think the one that I value the most is the 1/2 Marathon.
Who would have thought that I could run a 1/2 Marathon.
I went to Ottawa for the National Capital with the
normal jitters but on the morning of race day I felt
very calm. What an accomplishment for me! Something
else that really made that day very special is that
Matthew, one of my sons that I've watched running
for the past 12 years was living in Ottawa for the
summer. Well Matthew ran me in the last 3km and that
was a very emotional experience for me.
Thanks Running Room, it only proves that if you try
to do something - you can".
