I recently joined a running group in Saskatoon. I have spoken to many of these groups as a sport dietitian, so I figured it was time that I participated as a runner. If you know me, you know that running is not my forte - I was a volleyball player, which is more like sprinting than running for hours! My husband is also currently interested in running and is training for the Bridge City Boogie here in Saskatoon this Summer.
In the past I have shared the upcoming running events, so I figured that even though we still get a few snow flakes, you may be thinking about getting active outdoors.
Here's what's coming up:

So, my Q's Day questions today are:
What motivates you to workout/be active? Are you training for an event?
Share your comments, questions, suggestions, and please let me know if there is an event I missed so that I can share it!
Happy, healthy living!
