The Self-proclaimed Expert!

Individuals who’ve recently read a book (or two) on diet and exercise, experienced some minor or major weightloss or even started a newfangled fitness program with some success, tend to fancy themselves budding experts. There’s a stark difference between an enthusiast and a professional… and it’s an important distinction in all matters of endeavor.

I Did A Green Run 9/11/11

See you there!

Being green is more important than ever. Help us lessen our impact on the environment with our Annual I-Did-A-Green-Run that features:

  • Donate your old running shoes and receive a raffle ticket for each pair (raffle held after the race).
  • Recycling bins separate from trash bins.
  • A beautiful, quiet course away from traffic!

Make the event even greener by carpooling to the race, listening to nature instead of your MP3 player, and bringing your own water bottle to refill at aid stations.

Awards are given to 5k and 10k runners in the following age groups: 19 and under, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70 and over.

The 10k is part of the ARR Grand Prix.

Entry is FREE for ARR members who register no later than August 27, 2011. Fees for other runners are listed below.

Race day registration begins at 6:00 a.m. and closes at 7:00 a.m. (no exceptions) as a courtesy to our volunteers who are also running. The 5k and 10k begin at 7:15 a.m. and the 1 mile fun run begins at 7:20 a.m.

Voting for the Arizona Road Racers Board of Directors also takes place at this race.

You’re Lucky!

If you’re healthy (which most of us are) and have what you need (which the majority of us do) take a moment right now to appreciate your life’s good fortune; because the majority of our personal good luck is out of our hands. We didn’t choose our genetics and we certainly didn’t choose our original geography… and myriad circumstances are frequently out of our control. Make no mistake about it… you’re lucky!

Likeness More than Difference!

I feel the likeness more then I feel the difference between myself and all of my clients; this is one of the keys to our success.
