New Article Post - Bisphenol A (BPA) – Myth or Not?

The concern was such that many notable retailers including Wal-Mart pulled some products off their shelves which contained BPA.

Run 4 Kids 5k Marysville Ohio



Speedy Sneakers members ran in the Run-4-Kids 5k in Marysville, Ohio. What a beautiful day it was to run as you can see from some of the pictures.




I think everyone had a great time and we some good running. This was the first race we have been to as a group since the Komen Race for a Cure 5k in Columbus and so it was fun to get the ladies back together to run in a fast 5k race.




This was also a good time for everyone to support some of our Marysville members who are always coming down to Columbus to run races.

Thanks to everyone who showed up.
Speedy Sneakers Womens Walking and Running Club

A New Beginning

Speedy Sneakers Walking and Running Clubs will begin operation in the spring of 2008. The mission of the clubs will be to promote women’s health and fitness through walking and running.

The clubs were inspired by my belief that women face two very real realities.

Women are held to a higher standard when it comes to their appearance. It is unfortunate that this is the case, but too often it is true. Oversize and weight are seen as negative traits, even if the person is of great character. I believe that most women do not want to be overweight, but through circumstances that are sometimes difficult to manage they end up with some undesirable weight.

Women face more health concerns as they age. Osteoporosis, breast and ovarian cancers, and diabetes are common. Exercise can help fight against these conditions. I realize that science is not perfect, but there is no medical doctor that will say that exercise encourages disease, but rather that exercise can fight disease.

Speedy Sneakers is a club for women (though men can join), that is committed to helping women meet their health and fitness goals. It is my sincere desire that if you commit to an exercise program whether it is with Speedy Sneakers or not that you will be able to achieve those goals.

If you are interested in joining Speedy Sneakers, visit our website at www.speedysneakers.com to locate a club in your area, or if no club exists, consider starting your own Speedy Sneakers franchise.
