Hey girlfriend! Are you interested in:

• Getting more enjoyment out of your runs
• Running faster and stronger
• Training for a race such as Pace of Courage or Catalyst Challenge
• Finding new running routes
• Learning more about the sport of running
• Meeting new running friends

Reason to Run is planning again to present the Girlfriend Summer Run Clinics in July and August in the Tigard area. All levels of women runners and joggers are encouraged to come out and join us. We will meet on Tuesday and Thursdays from 6:30 am to 7:30 am. Participants will be emailed the location specifics.

The cost for each training clinic is $50 and includes:

• Eight, one hour training sessions
• Very cool Reason to Run technical t-shirt designed by local artist Tyson Mangelsdorf, styled and sized for women
• Door prizes and sponsor goodies
• Post clinic celebration run and Bear Naked Granola sponsored breakfast
• Optional Saturday trail run in Forest Park
• Discount on a future Reason to Run race
• A fun, supportive environment

Tuesdays will focus on a specific running work out, while Thursdays will be girlfriend run day. Work outs will include track, hills and tempo, and during the sessions we will talk about topics such as injury prevention, stretching, nutrition, training plans, running shoes and clothing, hydration, iPod music selection, running partners, and trail running.

Session 1 July - Aug
