Welcome Tanglewood Runners,

I am glad you have decided to join running club. This program is designed to increase fitness and good healthy habits at a critical stage in our children’s lives.

My goals with running club include increased physical fitness, learning nutrition education and the science of exercise. I hope to give the children skills and knowledge they can use when implementing their own exercise routine.

Our overall goal is to run in a community 5K. Our first run, the Jingle Bell Run, will take place on December 6, 2008, and the second run we have tentatively planned is the Cowtown �Kids 5k. We will have at least one more race in the spring, yet to be determined. With your $25 entry fee you are paying up front for the Cowtown Race. The others will have an additional fee.

All you need to do to join is read and fill out the forms titled: Tanglewood Running Club information sheet; t-shirt order form; parent participation and communication form, and the Tanglewood Running Club sign- up sheet.

All of these forms are posted on our website under "Club Forms" to the right. Please download and sign the forms and return to me along with the $25 entry fee. Please either mail the forms or give them to me personally.

Please consider joining us for practices by volunteering on our calendar to help. You do not have to run; just be able to watch the kids.

One last thing, be sure to check the website weekly for our weekly lesson. I would like the children to read these lessons to reinforce what we will be learning at running club.

Thank you for letting me coach your children.

See you on the trail.

Ruth Nethery

TRC

 

We are fast approaching the end of TRC season so try to stay on track and finish the year with good attendance.  With spring sports approaching you will need the extra conditioning you can get from TRC.

 

First order of business will be to complete the  Cowtown 5k, February 28th.  Be sure to wear your yellow TRC shirt for greater visibility. Find registration information on the link to the right.

 

On March 28th from 7:30-3:30 we will host our garage sale at 3601 Ledgeview Ct. Please bring your items to sale anytime on March 27th to the above address marked with price to sell.  Try to gather as much from your friends, relatives, and neighbors to sale. All proceeds go to TRC to help repair soccer goals at school.  You can find a detailed sign up sheet on our website.

 

The last race TRC  will jointly participate in is the Ft Worth Race For The Cure 5k. This race is scheduled for April 11th.  The deadline to register will be March 31-- instructions on how to register are in the "Information" link to the right.  It is easy to register and all can be done on line. Your race packets will be mailed to you.  Let’s try to have a good turnout to support this worthy cause, because 75% of  the proceeds from the race stays in Tarrant County to help fight breast cancer.  There will be lots of kid-friendly activities at the Race.

 

That brings me to our last order of business. The last day for TRC will be April 8th.  Please see website for information and calendar.  

 

P.S. I picked up our cowtown stuff today and the director said largest race ever…..so leave early and be familiar with all parking.  It could be crazy.  Next year let’s get a bus!
