Hello Mermaids!

Fresh air, a cool breeze and the trail below can create the perfect opportunity to quiet the mind and connect with yourself. Our daily routine and responsibilities can quickly fill our day and the first thing to get pushed aside is often our 'my time.' Scheduling in the 'my time' allows us to focus our thoughts and re-energize our mind so we can tackle the next day. Now is the perfect time to hit the trail or the road and schedule in your 'my time.'

Give the Gift of Running
The mini mermaid running club is a NEW program for young girls and will launch in Santa Cruz at Del Mar Elementary. The goal is to provide young girls in lower income elementary schools the opportunity to run, train, exercise and learn valuable lessons about their body, nutrition and life. The program will be FREE and is possible through a grant from 100+ Women who Care in Santa Cruz and personal donations. The goal is to provide the girls with training, coaching, educational materials and everything from shoes to shirts to get them ready for the mini mermaid run at Mountain View on April 17th. You can help make this program a success by sponsoring a mini mermaid. Donations are tax deductible! <more>

Follow Your Heart - Coach Heidi
For years running has been a part of my life, I have loved the isolation of it.. the independence of it. I have strictly guarded my running time and up until a few years ago running was all about me. Over the last few years my running has changed and has brought with it many friends along my path. Running isn't just about being in shape or knocking another race off of your list. It can also be about giving back and bringing others along the way. <more>
