IT'S already time to plan for my spring club. The applications have been sent out and I'm hoping to get just the right number of Happy Feet kids to have a cozy, group of runners, healthy eaters, and journal writers to work with this spring.

dogKIDS RUNNING LOGS
kidsCheck out our Muddy Dog Running Log program. It's in full swing. Print a chart. Run the miles. Color in footprints or fill in one of our many charts. Then send in for free bookmarks AND get your first name posted with a unique graphic. Find out what our Kids Running mileage program is all about. Take a peek at an Award Page.

Were you in the midst of the Log-a-Mile program? If so, then continue with the Muddy Dog Running Log. Earn the 25, 50, 75, and 100-mile bookmarks. Ready, get set, go!

This year all of my Happy Feet Kids received a copy of the Muddy Dog Running Log. They will record mileage after our runs and hikes at club. Then they will finish at home this winter and spring. When they return their completed 25-mile charts to me, they will receive a special prize.

January 21, 2010: Goals Make it Happen - It's still been a challenge for me to get my exercise in after a busy day of school. I come home and (just like the kids) have work to do. So now it's Thursday by the time I can find a little time to get the running in I need. My goal for tonight - AT least a half-hour period of exercise.

HAPPILY BUSY: working on NIE project, journaling in my Happy Feet book, teaching, knitting a sweater, planning my spring Happy Feet Club, reading THE HELP, and running with my dog every day! Seeing my grandchildren whenever possible. Always working on my art.

hatCool: Bonnie Boon designs crocheted a hat to match the one in my December graphic. It's my "ART SHOW HAT". You'll never guess where it's coming from - CYPRUS. I sent her the graphic and she made the hat.

ART SHOW
winter I will be hanging my 12 calendar prints at the Zest restaurant in Tolland, CT for the months of November and December. This was first a dream and is now a goal to have an art show.

To be sure, Tolland is the perfect spot. It's where I've run with many many families over the years - the town the Happy Feet Club was created in, and in many ways the source of influence on running programs around the country. Many thanks to the Art Council of Tolland. Hope to see you there!
