Everyone knows that yoga is extremely beneficial for runners but very few of us actually take the time to attend yoga classes.  With that being said, there is no better time than now to start reaping the benefits of yoga… for free!!  Melissa Bennett, the leader of boot camp classes at Elite Dance and Fitness in Nolensville, is offering free yoga classes every Sunday at 6pm.   These classes will be held at Franklin Christian Church on the corner of Highway 96 and Clovercroft Road.  The only thing that you need to bring is a mat.  So come out and take advantage of this great opportunity to enjoy some free yoga!!

In a 5k race held in our own backyard, approximately 20 NRC runners showed up on Saturday morning to participate in the Change for a Chance 5k.  Congratulations to everyone who ran one of the most challenging 5k courses around!!  Several of our members went home carrying medals including overall winner Jacob Carrigan and overall female winner Deanna Zieman.  Also winning medals were Steven Fleming (3rd place overall) and Amy Klotz (1st in age group and 2nd female finisher).  It also needs to be noted that NRC speedster Ray Whitford was on track for a top 3 finish but a misleading course sign resulted in Ray running a 6k instead of a 5k.  That’s ok Ray…you still finished in the top 10 even after running an extra half mile!!  Great job again to everyone who came out this morning and proudly represented the Nolensville Running Club!!  See you Wednesday evening at 6:15.

This Saturday, June 18th, the Nolensville Running Club will participate in the Change for a Chance 5k.  This race takes place in our own backyard of Nolensville at 7:30am.  If you have not signed up yet, it is not too late.  Simply go to www.changeforachance.com for information on how to register.  This will replace our regularly scheduled Saturday morning run but I am sure that we will keep with tradition and grab a bite to eat afterwards at Mama’s Java!!
