this picture was taken at one of my favorite parts of 2011 bennett running camp : the goal making session with the girl campers.  i think it’s good to be bold and announce your goals to the world.  the goal becomes more real to you when you say it out loud.  it also helps hold you accountable because everyone that heard your goal is going to be cheering you on and watching you go after it.
it’s that time of year when everyone starts to think about the goals for the upcoming new year. we want to hear your goals! visit us on our facebook page and post your running goal for 2012 on our wall- one lucky person will win a free 2012 winter edition bennett running shirt. we will pick a winner randomly on jan 1st, so don’t delay!

want to know our goals for bennett running in 2012? here goes ::

  • have another safe, happy, healthy year of running camps with even more campers than last year
  • over 40 runners participating in our new event – the greatest runner ever competition (and the after party)

This always gets me out the door!
