November 26, 2009"Racing teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could go. It helps us to find out what we are made of. This is what we do. This is what it's all about." -PattiSue Plumer, U.S. Olympian GENERAL INFO

COMMENT ABOUT FIT ON THE MIAMI HERALD! Dear Members, it was brought up to my attention a comment that was made about FIT as a result of the article on the Miami Herald. I would like to invite you to read it, and to please help us not to be perceived as a group who does not know how to “share the road”. We ask every Saturday and in each newsletter to please keep a single file on the bridges and narrow sidewalks and practice proper running etiquette. We want to be known as a great group! Not one that takes over the side walk and does not share as the person comments. But we need your help! To see the comment, Click Here and see at the bottom Let us all work together on this! Thank you for your cooperation " TRAINING TIP OF THE WEEK: AGAIN! IMPORTANCE OF FOLLOWING PROPER RUNNING ETIQUETTE!! " Be sure to practice proper running etiquette not only during the race, but also during your training runs, specially if the place you train is a busy one as it is A1A on Saturday mornings. For proper running etiquette Click Here and for a few more Click Here TRAINING SCHEDULES UNTIL THE END OF THE SEASON!
