Just a Little Help With Fitness New Year's Resolutions

If you resolved to get fit this year, I have found a few places you may want to get started.

JoAnn Guidry is a writer for Ocala Style but she’s also a well-known avid hiker and wildlife advocate. If you would like to take a 6-mile hike in the woods with her, the bus leaves Marion Oaks Recreation Center at 10 am on Wednesday. You can sign up at the front desk of the Marion Oaks Rec and Fitness Center or call: 352-438-2830. Please be sure to wear good hiking shoes, dress appropriately for the weather, and don’t forget to bring water and a snack.

No membership or payment is required, get out there and enjoy nature!

Free Couch To 5K Run Encouragement!

Marion County Runs will be meeting weekly on Mondays from 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm at the Brick City Adventure Park (1211 SE 22nd Rd, Ocala, FL 34471). Need to leave early, come early, have to battle your way through traffic, just come a little later. Either way, come out to meet up with like-minded people who love running and are here to support you in your training goals. Monday evening runs will be dedicated to conducting speed work to improve your running efficiency, and to assist new runners in achieving their running goals. If you need a "Couch to 5k" training plan, or ideas on how to become a faster runner, this group is there to help.
