Nik’s Chicks is a FREE ladies only running/triathlon group. It is only a time and place to meet & a program to follow. I cannot join you on every run/workout. If you are new to exercising, it is advisable to have a doctor’s OK prior to beginning. Any information or products represented on this site are for educational purposes only and are not a substitute for any advice given to you by a medical, nutritional or fitness professional. Please sign my waiver (in “About”) and fill out my contact info sheet when you arrive for your first run. Please park on West Oak Trails Blvd, Nightingale or at Bloomfield Park to avoid congestion, locking beeps and car doors closing around my neighbours’ houses – especially on Saturday mornings! We run Tuesday and Thursday evenings 8pm and Saturday mornings 8am from the corner of Redwing and Blackbird Courts. Check out Weekly Workout section for specific times and distances.

Quotes of the Week: 
News from the “Nest”: This is a quick update to mainly send out the week’s workouts. I have nothing profound to say this week except for I came across a study that says 1 minute of running can strengthen your bones. So if you have been slacking in the running department – come on out and do a short one – it will do your bones good:)
New Programs: I am looking at beginning NEW Learn to Run 5km and 10km programs in September – unless there is huge interest in starting them sooner! If you would like to start something in August let me know:)
Lakeside Triathlon: Who is up for a fun little triathlon or duathlon at the end of the summer? Warm lake, flat bike and run! I would like to get at least one tri in and given the busy summer schedule, this race might be my only possibility. http://www.multisportcanada.com/lakeside/ Send me a note to let me know if you are “in”!This weeks workouts (Meet at 1438 Redwing Court): (Note that Tuesday and Saturday workouts for sprint tri have been swapped in the schedule)
