WAY TO GO "MACKIE".
Runfitter trainee Michele Macauley had a great experience running the LA
Marathon on March 21st.
We worked with her for about 15 weeks, at the track and
on the regional tracks and roads.
She was very dedicated to getting back
to some professional training after a set back.
"HI Tony. I wanted to thank you
for all your help! The run went great but my time wasn't what I would have liked. I do attribute it to not attending more
of your strength training sessions! I have to say, I felt really good and I did run all the way!....Overall, this was a huge
accomplishment for me. It had been a long time since my last Marathon and I had of some personal issue the last couple of
years. But your program helped bring me back and I look forward to future runs and getting faster....!"

AROUND THE RACES: Several
of our Run Team members took part in the second annual Cal. Peace Officers Association 5K/10K. This is a fund raiser for services
in support of families of officers who lost their lives on duty for the community.
It
took place at Shadow Cliffs Regional Park in Pleasanton on May 8th. Both course put us on fire trails, weaving around the
hills above the picnic areas. A tough but fair course! Congrats to Gloria Khalig and Missy Heffernan of Brentwood running
their first 10K race!
THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT I RECIEVED AT "RELAY FOR LIFE"
EVENT!
I ATTEMPTED to be a relay team of ONE in supporting and fundraising for the American
Cancer Society's Relay for Life event in Brentwood, CA.
With my recent foot injury, and
subsequently very little training I set out to complete as many miles as possible on the morning of June 12, for a 24 hour
period.
I want to bring the message that an active lifestyle is one of the keys to reducing
our risks for cancer. Those who do contract this disease are living longer due to the research the American Cancer Society
supports! Many have been touched by this disease including me, as my Mom has undergone two surgeries.
Well, the circumstances of my injury, lack of training the warm weather, took its' toll. My strategy was to jog
easily for two miles and then alternate with a quick-step march for two. I had the opportunity to walk and run with friends
and took three 10 to 12 minute breaks. Unfortunately, after about 6 hours, I was unable to stop and stretch without having
severe muscle cramps. No position seemed to help.
I had to shut it down after about
25 miles. But, at least I was able to convince a few others to donate to the cause of cancer research and care.
What They Are Saying
About Runfitter Training:
"Thank you SO much for all your time, training and encouragement!
While I ended up a walker, I really enjoyed and got a lot out the group training. Great spirit!"
Lisa R. - Pleasant Hill, CA
"Thanks
for all your help, support and encouragement as I have tried something that I have never really done before. A few months
ago, I never thought I could walk and run 8 or 9 miles without stopping. I've even found that when I'm really tired and don't
want to go out, I do anyway, even if I go really slow because I feel better and I know that it's helping me reach my goals.
Thanks again..."
Natalie W. - Hercules, CA
"Thank you Tony for all your help and knowledge. I've learned so much in these 12 weeks.
It really has been enjoyable meeting you and the group....Thanks again."
