This weekend …& more

September 27, 2017

Hey Ladies!!!

I can’t believe the end of September is near…3 more days to be exact!  This is my favorite time of year….  running season, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas.  And as I peek ahead and get excited at all the things we have to look forward to, I also can’t help but feel sadness and despair for all the people whose lives have been tragically affected by the recent hurricanes.

We have to do our part!  WOFB would like to come together once again, and help collect supplies for our neighbors in Puerto Rico.

  • First Aid Kits
  • Water

This Saturday, September 23, 2017, SOLE SISTERS will be hitting the pavement at 97th & Flagler.  JOIN US as we log in some more miles to help increase our cardio, speed and stamina.

All ELITE members are welcome to join us, regardless of running speed or ability.   Everyone runs at their own pace and chooses the distance that suits them.  The goal, as always, is to get better!

We will meet in the parking area in front of Stirrup Elementary which is located at the corner of 97th and Flagler.  It’s a nice straight run with a bridge.  See you all there at 7am, ready to sweat and break records!!

A HUGE THANK YOU to each and every one of you that was able to donate and help us collect goods for the Keys, especially on such short notice!  Thank you, thank you!

Karen Mari and her wonderful team from Mari Real Estate and Management Group came through – they picked up all the supplies and delivered them this morning.  Between our groups, we filled up 2 truckloads!

TIME EXTENDED!

September 20, 2017

Ladies!!

Tomorrow is the last day to bring in your donations for the Keys.  The pick-up time has been extended to 9:15am.  Karen will be picking up all the goods by 9:15am so this gives the morning class (9:15am class) a chance to bring in any supplies they would like to share.

Thank you to all who are helping out!  KARMA!

And thank you Karen for putting this together and taking the time to personally deliver all the goods.

This SATURDAY, SEPT 16, Sole Sisters is taking it to FIU.  Let’s stay close to home base this week and work that lower body with some incline sprints and stairs.  Meet us in the parking garage at 7am and bring lots of water!

See you all soon.

FITnessCHALLENGE (1)

Who’s itching to workout? ME!!

September 12, 2017

Hello ladies!

It has been a pretty stressful week, but it’s over now and boy, did we dodge a grenade!  My heart goes out to those who were not as fortunate.

Hopefully you are all safe and well after the hurricane, and your homes haven’t suffered too much damage.  As I work to restore order around me, I remind myself over and over that life is above all and everything else can be replaced or repaired!

There is a lot of work to be done now to get back to our normal routine, including the restoration of our beloved gym!  The guys are hard at work cleaning up today.  

We will resume back to our normal WOFB schedule tomorrow, Wednesday, Sept 13, 2017.

I haven’t forgotten about 9/11 yesterday, Harvey or the massive fires in the west.

So much to say, but what is really inspiring me at this moment, is how RESILIENT we can be.  I compared us to the palm trees in a storm… we bend and we sway, but we don’t break!

See you all soon!

XO
