Welcome to 2014

Happy New Year!

I hope you have enjoyed a relaxing and active festive season and are looking forward to whatever 2014 brings.

We start back in February, on Wednesday nights, and I know some of you were keen to use your 'free' Tuesday nights to head out with the Striders on their weekly run/walks.  Just note that the next four Tuesday nights the normal Striders is replaced with the annual Six O'Clock Summer Series up the Maitai Valley.  This begins tonight with a 3km from the Golf Course back down the Valley, start time of 6pm, no charge.  Many of the participants park at the finish line which is just along from where we met for the mountainbiking sessions and walk/jog up to the startline for a warm up.  Would love to see you there.  Next week is 3km, then 5km, with the final week a 10km.

Great to see some of your names on the entrant list for this Sunday's 10km and Half Marathon too - http://nelsonevents.co.nz/content/nbs-nelson-striders-half-marathon-10km  This is a fun one as the winner is not necessarily the fastest, but the one who is closest to their predicted time (no watches are allowed to be worn for this event).

I will be in touch soon with more details about our first session, so in the meantime, keep active and I will see you out there.
