Oklahoma Running Mom: Fleet Feet Diva Night

Fleet Feet Diva Night

On Thursday Night I went to Fleet Feet for their Diva Night. It was so fun! There were ladies getting massages, prizes being given away, treats, sales, a fashion show, etc. I talked a little with Lori Dreiling, one of the owners, about their training programs. I think I'm finally going to join. I don't know what has been holding me back. I guess you can always find an excuse...mine was always that I have the motivation to train myself. However, I know that with the help of more experienced runners I can improve more quickly than if I am just out for a jog by myself. Plus, it would be nice to meet others who feel the same way as I do about running. I'm excited to try something new and I'll let you know how it goes. I'd love for you to make a comment or shoot us an email about your experience with training programs.

Shawna said...: Hello there! This is Shawna from Stollin' Moms and I will tell you, I LOVE the training programs. I'm in the Marathon program now and it is SO much fun to get up at 6:30 and run with the groups! Just the point when you think you can't go another mile, someone will say something that encourages you and gets you going. And sometimes we get to running and laughing and talking and realize - hey, we're done! It's the only way I could do it! I'm glad to hear you're joining the programs - which group will you be with?; 18.7.09
