It’s getting darker outside during the morning and evening classes, and we are often outside running or doing other exercises. We also share the parking lot with these huge shiny things that have wheels and headlights and would definitely win in a head-to-head competition (a.k.a. CARS). Please use some common sense during these times: wear bright / reflective colors (not all black), stay to the side of the driveway, use your eyes and ears to look and listen for cars starting and moving, get up and move out of the way if a car is heading towards you, warn you fellow CFers of approaching traffic, look before running across the driveway (running around corners or behind the bounce place building into the garage door). Just because you see them doesn’t mean they see you! Let’s keep everyone safe, please!

Help to honor our fellow CFer Mike Lawrence, who lost his battle with lung cancer last June 2014, with a ‘Miles for Mike’ t-shirt! Mike was an inspiring and generous person, for those who did not know him. He was always positive throughout his battle and never gave up hope, keeping his sharp sense of humor and faith to the very end. Long sleeve shirts, designed by our own Matt Jackson, will be sold at the gym while supplies last. Any donation is greatly appreciated: all proceeds benefit the fundraiser for team “Miles for Mike” in partnership with Free to Breathe, a partnership for lung cancer survival. Help support this GREAT cause!!
We all love our CF black and dark-colored gear, but with the days getting shorter, let’s remember to break out that bright and reflective gear that we love to wear all winter! We run outside year-round, and whether you’re on the road or in our parking lot, please remember to watch for cars and make sure you’re seen!
Also, snow and ice may be just around the corner (haha - get it?). When bad weather hits, stay tuned to the blog and Corps Fitness Facebook page for weather-related schedule changes. And make sure you’re prepared! Get your gear, from head to toe, ready to hit the road: non-slip sneaks and extra care both inside and outside are a must!!
