The fitness sessions for Thursday, May 2, 2013 have been cancelled do to sleet, rain, and bone-chilling, nose-numbing, skin-icing wind chill.

Too bad we can’t bottle this weather and save some for Summer.

Stay warm and dry, all. Don’t forget to cover you tender plants, too.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma (BCBSOK) contributed $1,260.00 to Rogers County Fitness Training Program. The contribution is a corporate match for BCBSOK employee, Kim Miller, volunteer hours. Kim has donated many hours as a mentor for Rogers County Free Fitness Training Program (RoCo Fit) and continues to mentor RoCo Fit participants to become more physically active and improve their health.  BCBSOK seeks to remain a vital part of the lives and health of Oklahomans and are committed to partnering with local organizations to improve the well-being of the communities and are honored to support those efforts.

Kim Miller, BCBSOK employee and RoCo Fit mentor, presented the $1,260.00 check to several other RoCo Fit mentors at the RoCo Fit Spring Pace Grouping Activity on March 14^th. The mentors selected to use the funds to purchase incentives for participants to encourage them to continue their fitness efforts. RoCo Fit is thankful to BCBSOK for this award and to Kim Miller for her continued mentorship.

Thanks to everyone who came to the information meeting Tuesday. It’s going to be a terrific group again–we counted nearly 70 in our small room.

All those who met the goal–getting off the couch and completing a 5km Race–will be recognized Continue reading →

The training session for September 4 is our practice/mock 5k race. We’ll try to simulate the race: a timer will show your ending time–but it is up to you to remember it; we don’t have timing chips for you.

Most of you have seen the markings and done much of the course.

There is a video preview on you tube, at this link: Mock 5k Video

Soon, we’ll post a map for those of you who like that perspective.

The mentors will stay around to answer any questions you might have after doing the mock race.

TRAIN FUN!
