FreshStart 5k | A Running Tradition

by Andrew Mercer

CLE Running/Walking Club and FreshStart 5k Participants,

I wanted to thank you all once again for your efforts and contributions that made our first annual FreshStart 5k an overwhelming success.  Many of you have generously offered your support, feedback, and appreciation of what the race has meant for you.  I’m inspired and amazed at the response from the community and the experiences of learning and growth that have occurred through running the race.  What a great way to start 2012 off indeed!

A special congratulations once again to Jay Ohms and Cassie Bobart the top overall male and female finishers with times of 18:26 and 21:35 respectively.  Also a congratulations to both Joe Hoffer and Nancy Owens on their top performances in the master’s division with finishing times of 23:50, and 24:25 respectively.  The rest of the official race results can be found here.

For those of you who also need some inspiration as you step into the new year many runners added their goals for 2012 to the FreshStart banner before and after the race.  Click here for the goals from the community to inspire and motivate you in the coming year.

Lastly, if you are interested in adding more physical and emotional fitness back into your life this year, consider joining us on Saturday January 28th for our monthly CLE Running and Walking Club.  Email nancy.rollins@cle.us.com with any questions and for more information on meeting time and location.

I hope you all are having a great year so far and continue to run strong in 2012!
