Click Here A NOTE FROM YOUR HEAD COACH-FIREFIGHTERS 5K!
SOMETHING YOU SHOULD EXPERIENCE AT LEAST ONCE IN A LIFE TIME!! Last Sunday, I had the great opportunity to volunteer (and lead a beautiful group of volunteers) at the Firefighters 5K in Hollywood Beach. The race was to support the IAFF Firefighter's Fund and Muscular Dystrophy. What a great cause to support, and what an experience! It was an amazing event, and we had an excellent turnout! One of the best things about volunteering is not only that you are helping and contributing to a great cause, but that you also get to see the race from the other end and you learn to appreciate these events so much more! The hard works that goes into it, the craziness behind it; the logistics of the organization, the thrill, and the efforts of race organizers and volunteers to deliver a best in class event and all that it takes to put it together. What is the end result of all that hard work? In addition to helping The Firefighters and the Muscular Dystrophy foundation, it is the opportunity you are providing to all race participants to have a memorable moment of glory as they cross that finish line with the arms up in victory and a big smile! It is the fascinating faces of people accomplishing something big and doing something for their health and wellbeing that some may have never thought would be possible! It is the expressions of happiness, excitement, and determination, and the thrill of the competitive spirit. Providing an opportunity to an experienced runner, no matter their age, and see them push themselves hard to go for a personal best, is something really cool! Providing the same opportunity for someone new to the sport, to get motivated to reach their new goals, become a healthier individual and participate in their very first 5K it’s so rewarding! So, the best of it is, the satisfaction at the end of the event to see you were able to contribute to a great experience for someone in the community. Something you cannot put a price tag on, and something everyone should experience at least once in a lifetime. I invite you to be a volunteer next time you get an opportunity, and encourage you to support your running community! Sign me up for the next! Your Head Coach Marcela :) A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL FIT VOLUNTEERS!! A big THANK YOU goes out to all FIT volunteers for their great contributions to this event. Audrey, Patty, Ana, Sandy, Don, Alexis, Kathy, and everyone else, WE TOTALLY ROCKED! :) CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR FIT PARTICIPANTS!!! A BIG congratulations goes out to everyone who participated, specially to those who completed their very first 5K. A special congratulations also goes to out FIT members Vivien and Naomi for taking FIRST PLACE on their age group! WAY TO GO LADIES!!:)We are so proud of all of you!! SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 18TH
