Let's Get Moving!

The Jamul Chaparros 4-H club, with support from the San Diego County 4-H, will be hosting its first Color Me Green 5K in Spring of 2016! I need volunteers to help plan this event and help out the day of the event! Let me know if you are able to help us plan this awesome event. Wait a minute! You may be wondering, "who are you?" I am Wendy Teasdale, one of the community club leaders of the awesome Jamul Chaparros 4-H club, an avid runner, and the project leader of our new Health and Fitness Project. We will be learning ways of keeping active, making healthy food choices, and choosing non-sugary beverages to hydrate ourselves! In fact, that is the goal of the Color Me Green Run...to motivate 4-H members, their families, and the community to get active, get healthy, and kick their dependence on sugary drinks! I am guessing your next question is, "why me? Why should I participate?" Well, 'cause it's fun! And you will end up dirty. And green. And happy! And healthy! Oh, and remember that one of our "H's" is HEALTH! So do it for your health! Your body will thank you! The Color Me Green 5K will be open to ALL 4-H members, their families, and the community. Don't belong to a Health and Fitness project? Have no idea how to even start training for a 5K? No worries! This blog will be providing tips, information, and MOTIVATION to participate in this 5K! So, put on those running shoes and get out there!
