San Jose Native Youth Group starts training!

The San Jose Native Youth Group have started training to run at the 2010 Running is My High race around Lake Merritt in Oakland, CA. Youth Group members have signed a commitment to run/walk at least 10 miles a week in preparation for the 10K run. They have been given running information as well as time at their weekly meetings to use the Fitness Center equipment to get more mileage, do circuit training, or find a exercise regimen that works for them individually. With the season weather difficulties this time has taken the place of Youth Walking Spirit group.

The Youth Group has been in training since the first week of January. Their leaders are committing to run/walk this race with them as well. It is our hope this training committment will increase the youth group members long-term committment to their own health and to that this will extend to their familiies and friends.
