A Message from Leadership

By

General Reminder:

The American Family Half Marathon taking place in Richmond Virginia on November 12,2016 is not only the main reason we have all come here today, it is also the reason the blog was started and the original focus of it. So let us recall this, while appreciating all the the Petersburg Halloween Half Marathon has taught us, We have less 2 weeks left until I am running Richmond!!                   

          ðŸ’šðŸ’› Leadership 


I got my bib number and was quickly smacked back to reality. My body is finally starting to feel normal again as all the soreness is FINALLY subsiding. Note to self: Never you go horseback riding and canoeing the week of a half marathon. The soreness is real!!! Now that I feel like moving its time to stop thinking about Bryan Park and finally go see what these hills are like. I'm so excited. I'm even thinking of moving my wave up. Right now I'm at 2:30 however, I feel that I should slide up with the 2:15-2:29 group. Any thoughts?!?! 


My reminder 
My company outing took place the Thursday prior to the Petersburg Half Marathon. It was a great day in nature!  My body felt it and still feels it mixed in with the soreness from the half. Still I enjoyed every second of both!!! I hadn't ridden a horse since my 10th or so birthday when I went horse back riding and found out I was highly allergic! A 2 hour Benadryl nap over and I missed all of my Discovery Zone birthday party and needless day hadn't been near a horse since.

Vinegar and gym funk? Say what! Yup Vinegar can kill gym funk. If you've been in the kitchen, watched Doctor Oz or ever did research on losing weight you've heard the word vinegar before. Health nuts drink the red type. Red vinegar is actually used by a number of naturalist to clean their hair and flush fat. White vinegar was a staple in my childhood as my mom used it to clean chicken, wash mirrors and windows and after one trip to Canada, wash clothes. Those of you in the laundry business know what I am talking about. My mom's cousin owned his own laundry mat in Ontario, Canada. One summer changed the course of laundry in my home. Uncle Carl, as I called him, told mom he placed white vinegar in the washing machines to help brighten and whiten the clothes. Over the years I got away from using vinegar on all my loads but recently came back to it. Here are 5 reasons why you should consider using vinegar in your laundry, especially your gym clothes today. 1. Ki
