Training Begins

Our first weekend run took place on Saturday. Students and volunteers played a few icebreaker games, then got in an easy two mile run at Lake Merritt before the rain. We're already looking forward to next weekend's four mile run, when the SRO seniors, most of whom were taking SATs last weekend, will be able to join us.

Students, starting this week we'll be going to the YMCA on Tuesdays and Thursdays, in addition to track workouts at your schools on Mondays and Wednesdays. Look for the SRO bus immediately after school on Tuesday and Thursday.

If you need to review the Student Contract and Asthma Policy, please do so before the next workout. In particular, note that if you have asthma, you must bring your inhaler to workouts in order to participate.

Volunteers, our next weekend run is Saturday, October 11, at San Leandro Marina. Sign up on the Calendar page for this weekend and any other weekends you can commit to. Signing up several weeks in advance helps us plan our staffing for running, water stops, and support.

If you have not filled out the volunteer survey yet, please take a few minutes to let us know about your background and areas of the organization you're interested in helping with. If you still have questions about finger printing, the Volunteer Contract, or other paperwork concerns, check the Volunteers page or email your questions to Volunteer Coordinator Christine Chapon.
