Beginning Our Runs Right

Students and Volunteers, congrats on your first two weekend runs! It may seem like a long way now, but in a few short weeks this mileage will be easy for you!

This weekend we'll be at the Emeryville Marina for 2-4 miles. Before the run, SRO's own Becky Austin, MD, will provide a clinic on stretching. Proper stretching during your marathon training will help you increase flexibility and prevent injuries. You can review our handout on injury prevention and stretching, or check your Student Handbook or Volunteer Handbook for some background information. Be sure to bring your questions to Saturday's clinic!

Volunteers, please remember to sign up in advance for this weekend's run on the calendar.
