First Event has been completed!

WooHoo!!! Philly Diva Socialites represented as only a Diva can!  We worked hard leading up to this event and each of the 16 Divas crossed the finish line (take a look at our pictures.  Not only did we run, walk and participate in the Kids Run we also had Divas who volunteered at this event as well as families and husbands present as well.  Truly a great job and a worth while cause.

Philly Divas on the run...Catch us if you can!

Well tomorrow is our first official team event Get Your Rear in Gear Run and we are ready!  We have 16 Philly Diva Socialites enrolled and ready to go bright orange t-shirts and all. YAY!!!

The weather for tomorrow 8:30 am will be clear and 32 - 34 degrees. So I recommend dressing in layers, wearing hat and gloves. I will be wearing lycra leggings and a lycra camisole under my long sleeve shirt (all very light weight, the cami will keep the sweat off my body and insulate my body) I plan to throw our team tshirt over my long sleeve top. I usually wear a breathable cap while running for three reasons, one the bill will block sun glare, the band will absorb sweat and keep it out of my eyes and the "breathable" cap will help to regulate my body temps (keeps my head warm in winter and cool in summer).

Tomorrow you will be introduced to the concept of "throw away clothes". During chillier weather, race participants will dress in layers and will remove layers as thier bodies warm up. The clothing they discard they rarely retrieve by the runner, hence the term "throw away clothes". There is a group of people who will collect and recycle the clothes for the homeless...

Heading into training Week 4

We'll we are in the thick of it now!  We are starting to shed winter's hibernation mindset and we have taken our workouts to the streets of Kelly Dr and into the studios of hot yoga. The women of Philly Diva Socialites are consistently coming out and working out and some are starting to see early signs of improved fitness... so high-five. 

We are gearing up for the first event of our fitness challenge the Get your Rear in Gear run March 20 which focuses on raising awareness about colon cancer.  Please come out and support us.

WooHoo!!!
