What will your 2020 include?
Ok, it is coming close to the end of the year, but it doesn’t mean we stop. It just means we start thinking about what we want to do next year, in the “new year,” in the next phase of life or in the next season.
For me, I try to schedule some runs, cycling and tri events along with regular community and work schedules.
As in the past four years, I will be working on our 2020 Honeybee Bicycle Ride scheduled for May 30, but before that, I am excited about the opportunity to instruct a “Run For God” 5k Challenge beginning Jan. 7 and continuing on Tuesday nights at 5:30 until April 11, when we participate in the 2020 Run for God — Run at the Mill in Dalton.
We will kick off a New Year Day 30-plus minute walk/run activity and have sign up information available. This kickoff will begin at the First Baptist Church, 201 N. Main St. in Lafayette, on Jan. 1 at back parking lot at 3 p.m. For questions, call the church office at 706-638-3727.
