August 23, 2011 by Leave a comment

Wow- what a great, active community we have….. 220 people have already registed to walk in the KP Corporate Run/Walk 5K with Team Decatur. We are going to be a large field of green shirts, showing the metro area that we are the “Most Fit City” again this year! (In case you didn’t know, the City of Decatur was awarded “Most Fit City” at the 2010 KP Corporate Run/Walk).

It is not too late to register to be a part of this great event. Simply go to www.kpcorporaterunwalk.com to register; be sure to select Team Decatur from the pull down list.

Come walk with us! Active Living Staff is offering free training walks on  Monday nights at 6pm- meet in front of the Decatur Library; or Wednesday mornings at 8am – meet at the back door of Beacon Hill Center (behind the police station). I will be leading the walk tomorrow morning, so join me- we will make it fun!

Thanks to DeKalb Medical Center, our presenting sponsor, for making it possible for us to provide Brooks Dri-fit shirts to all team members! Additional sponsors include Dynamo, Kaiser Permanente Run/Walk & Fitness Program, Eye Physicians and Surgeons and Decatur Business Association.

Go Team!!

Time for a Change of Pace?

If you’re getting bored with your exercise routine, switch it up this week! Varying your activity means you’ll work new muscle groups, plus you’ll be more likely to stick with it if you’re having fun.
