Vision Boards & Natural Running

The girls have been working to create their own VISION BOARDS and today a few of them shared their creations.  When describing their boards- the girls used affirmative- present tense language- I AM Lucky, I LOVE MY LIFE, I DREAM BIG, I HAVE a CUTE BOYFRIEND, etc...

Later today, the girls received an AMAZING gift from Newton Running who sent each of the i-tri girls a pair of brand new Newton Running Shoes!!!  We took the bus into town to Gubbins Running Ahead, a Newton distributor, where we were joined by Michael Blanchard from Newton who came out from Colorado to teach the girls about "Natural Running."

He actually had the girls take off their shoes and run barefoot to get the sensation of running naturally and the proper"foot strike" which is achieved when wearing Newton Running Shoes.
