Summer Training Kickoff

Quick reminder about our Summer Training kickoff Thursday evening May 28, @ Solepepper Sports from 7-8:30pm. This evening is all about our club! Summer Training registration will be available as well as gait analysis if you are in the market for some new shoes. All clothing, shoe and energy drink/gels purchases will be at a 20% discount during the event for all participants of our summer training groups, it's a great time to stock up! Also, coach Erin Watson will be around to answer any questions about training, racing, etc. Feel free to drop in or hang around awhile and meet your fellow teammates!

As well, I want to send out a hearty congratulations to all of our Bolder Boulder runners! Great performances all around! I'll be posting kudos by Thursday, so stay tuned!

Happy Running!

Kudos and Bolder Boulder

Congratulations to Mimi Arp (super runner and my mother) for her sub 30 min. 5K today at the Wild 5 Race in Bettendorf Iowa! She ran a 29:44, great job Mom! Thanks for inspiring me to be a runner.

Also, I'm sending all of you best wishes for your Bolder Boulder run on Monday! I hope you are resting well today and starting to get psyched up for the big day. You'll do great! If you are hanging around after the race, it is tradition for our club to meet in Section 111. Swing by to say hello or to hang out a while!

Happy Running my friends!

Welcome to Solepepper F.I.T. Blog

Solepepper FIT began as The Running Group in 2004 as a way for runners in Louisville and Lafayette, Colorado to enjoy the benefits of a quality training program with a certified coach, within the quaint community in which we live. As of June, 2009 we will be renamed Solepepper FIT to reflect our new partnership with Solepepper Sports, Louisville's very own specialty running store, owned and operated by olympian and professional runner Alan Culpepper.

Our goal is to connect local runners, provide great coaching, encourage each other in our endeavors, and just enjoy the great running community that this area has to offer. We welcome runners of all abilities. We invite you to come see what we are all about!
