Train for the Cure

Train for the Cure, sponsored by Weight Watchers, is a running and walking group designed to help get you ready for Race for the Cure. While training for the race, we'll also learn about proper shoe fit and exercise attire as well as how to properly stretch and cool down. But one of our biggest goals is to make it fun!

Interested? Read on!

Who is this for? Anyone interested in getting fit for the race and beyond! You must register for the Race and the Clinic. (There is a one time $10 clinic fee you will pay when you sign up.)
What is this? A fun, positive group atmosphere that will keep you motivated and on track with your exercise plan.
Where do we meet? At War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock. Enter at the entrance directly off Fair Park.
When do we meet? Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 7 pm, beginning September 13 up until the race.
Why should you join? Why not?

Please remember, participants are responsible for bringing their own water.

Can't make it to the clinic? Gather your friends and play along at home! To do so, register for Race for the Cure online and also sign up for the "Virtual Train for the Cure". You will receive weekly emails that tell you what is going on at the clinic so you can do the same at home. There is no cost for the virtual clinic.

Let us know if you have questions.


BTW, just 64 days until the 18th Annual Komen Arkansas Race for the Cure!

Have a cup of Hope!

Sitting here on this beautiful and quite Sunday morning (thankful for a day of rest)...drinking my lil bit of coffee with LOTS of Almond Joy creamer (Yum-O).
This mug was given to me by Laurie, my partner in crime for the TEAMS committee. Thank you girlie! Friends truly are a blessing. 

It has lead me to thinking this morning about HOPE. Our theme this year is HOPE RUNS ON HEROES. This means different things to each of us. What do YOU think of when you hear this? The word HOPE to me is so encourging. To have HOPE is to look forward to the next moment! To know that there is that HOPE can push us to go further than we thought we could or have before!

HERO.....gosh I have lots of HEROES! Some don't even know they are mine. You may be someone's and don't know. I KNOW you are! Heroes don't just wear capes.....The first hero in my life was/is my Grandmother. That gives me a great photo op idea! Stay tuned there....My most recent is our Race Chair this year Jill! She is awesome and has changed my life with just a few words....Thank you Jill for allowing me to be a part of the committee!

Ok, so now I wanna hear from YOU ALL! Who is YOUR heroes and WHY? You can post a comment here or on our facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/komenarkansas

Company/Corporate Name

Happy Independence Day! And a special Thank You to all who have served and those who are serving to protect our freedom! I hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th!

Looks like some of you are well on your way to building your Team for 2011. Way to go!!!!

I wanted to explain a new feature to the online registration: Company/Corporate Name. Although any and all of you are welcome to use this feature, the main reason we added this is for organizations who wish to have multiple teams within their organization.

Examples:
Mount St. Mary's has several teams and compete with each other. Last year they had to keep up with the members manually. This year they can have several Teams under their Company.

For some reason, the guys at SPP don't exactly appreciate the team name: SPP Power Puffs. I just don't understand that. :o) Well, now the women can have their Team and the guys can have their own Team while we can count all of them under their Company.

There are also several teams with multiple locations. If they need to have their information separated, this is the perfect option for them.

If you have already started your team, didn't use this feature and want to, contact Shawna and Laurie at teams@komenarkansas.org. And contact them with any of your other questions/issues/comments.

Thanks for your support and dedication!

Happy 4th,
Jill
