Beginning January 5th! This 8 week class is a great fitness builder & cross-training activity for Spring sports. Girls ages 10-14 learn the technique of trail running, how to ascend & descend hills/stairs, handling rough terrain with roots & rocks while improving endurance. This coached program is an intermediate level class.

I don't remember how I got to Team LOLA, but I am so glad I did! I have never been a runner, or so I thought. The first day I showed up at the track I was wearing old, ill fitting, beat up shoes and a cotton tee with a pair of yoga pants. Ready to go! I ran half way around the track and then walked the rest. I don't think I made it around the track once that day. I remember thinking, I'm just not a runner. At the end of the workout, Coach Kim was very supportive and just said to me "Hey, you're here and it's time on your feet. You did it!". I was struggling but she was right - who cares if I couldn't run the whole way! I kept telling myself to 'just show up' and whatever happened was better than nothing. The next time I may have made it around the track once and each time I came I could do a little more. Some days were great and some were a real struggle, but I always felt amazing after I was finished. I had no expectations for myself at first and I believe that is what has kept me going. One year later, I feel like a different person. I have run a 1/2 marathon and the Ragnar Relay (a 36 hour, 200 mile running race with other amazing Team Lola women.) I am amazed at what I have accomplished in such a short time. And I have also gotten back in the pool, after decades of being away from the water, for swim workouts with LOLA which I love! Thank you Kim for believing in me and reminding me to do the same. Thank you Team LOLA for all of your love and support.
