]]> Well, howdy, and welcome to the start of our series called “Training Tuesdays” Whoohooo!! Yep, every Tuesday, we’ll be sharing a little nugget of training bliss with you all. Maybe you’re new to the whole half marathon thing, maybe you’re a seasoned runner and need to tweak your stride.  Maybe you just want to get healthier and feel better to run after those durn fast kids of yours cause it’s starting to get harder to catch them ;-) Well, we’ll be here for you… encouraging you and strengthening these awesome machines we’ve been given.  So, today we share a video from Chris Aarhus, a tremendously talented triathlete, Ironman, trainer, and most important to us anyway, fabulous husband and dad of three.  He’s great at explaining the basics. We think you’ll agree, and hope you enjoy our first little video he recorded for us on how to do a squat properly. Never liked these things, but realized how much they go a long way to helping so many areas, especially strengthening those leg muscles to help protect the ever important knee joints. Happy squatting everyone. And if you’re so inclined send us your shots of your squats on our Facebook page.  We can all use the encouragement. And by all means, if you have a question for Chris, or something you want to see addressed on here, comment away, or contact us with your questions and we’ll get them answered for you.

Okay, and maybe a few things like celebrating women, health, recipes, training tips, inspiring stories, fun facts, and reminders when we have our weekly give-aways over on Facebook.(speaking of, there’s one going on today) Just like our 5K title, and what has become kind of a mantra for us here at Cocoa Half, we realize we all have a Wild Woman in us, and that’s a good thing. A women that is passionate and takes on the challenges of this world with purpose and fortitude. So join us in our little blog world, cause occasionally we’ll be asking you what makes you a wild woman. You can check out a few of the responses from an earlier post on our Facebook page.
Of course, we’ll also be sharing more about the people behind the awesome charities that we will be helping with this here fabulous race event. I don’t know about you, but I like to meet the people I help; their families, hearts, passions, struggles, strengths, etc. and get to know them on a more personal level. There are just too many incredible people in this world that we gotta share them with you. We are confident as you get to know them as we do, you will be excited that you not only are doing a run that will be extremely fun, but one that will also help some really great people.
