run LOLA run

I told you guys that we had a busy weekend and now let me tell you about Sunday....

I got up at the crack of dawn to head out to Mill Valley in Marin County to support one of our featured "runners" Kim Juarez, founder of LOLA.

Team LOLA had a "party" on Sunday morning. The "party" was at this very cool gym called Endurance Performance Training Center--I'm calling it a gym but it is really so much more...it is all about training athletes of all levels and abilities. There were about 35 women who came ready to have fun with the girls. Kari Dozler, a core and strength specialist, kicked things off by conducting a core clinic. The clinic was great because Kari really showed some exercises that were not too complicated and would be easy to remember the proper form. We've all heard that strengthening your core supports your entire body and will help to improve all of your activities, not to mention the side benefits of walking taller, looking leaner, and feeling good about yourself.

After Kari kicked butt, the Team LOLA Ladies headed out on a 5 mile training run through the streets of Mill Valley. While the Team was out running, I was setting up our shirts because I knew that there would be some fast girls on the Team and I wanted to be ready for them when they came back.

All in all, getting up super early and driving from the East Bay was worth it--Kim and Team LOLA definitely know how to throw a party! Let me tell you, if you live in Marin County check out LOLA! I keep trying to put a bug in Kim's ear about moving to the East Bay so I can train with the Team!
