Welcome to Miles In Martinsville
Welcome to Miles in Martinsville, a challenge series created to support outreach programs of the Martinsville-Henry County Family YMCA. A few of the things supported by the series include the Bike Barn located on the Dick & Willie Passage, the Doctor's Orders program, and financial aid and scholarships for Y membership and child care. Thank you for being a part of an active community and helping us grow and sustain new programs that reach beyond the walls of the Y!  Runners ConnectMiles in Martinsville is very excited to announce a new
program with goals of introducing new people to the sport and providing a
connection for development to the many dedicated runners in the community. The program,
to be known as “RUNNER’S CONNECT of MHC”, will present activities designed to
bring together folks of like interest, in an effort to broaden the local
running community. The program will also
serve as a source of information for experienced runners, newcomers, and for
runners visiting the Martinsville-Henry County area. A “RUNNERS
CONNECT of MHC” link has been placed on the Miles in Martinsville website and is under development. It
will warehouse various types of pertinent information such as suggested run
locations, beginner training plans, and more.
Ashley
Crouch has been named Running
Coordinator for Miles in Martinsville and in that role, she will oversee the
activities of this new undertaking. She
comes to the position uniquely qualified and knows of what she speaks. Crouch began running just a few years ago in
search of weight loss and better health.
She had quit smoking and immediately gained 30 pounds. She was happy
about the not-smoking thing but depressed about the weight gain. She changed her diet, joined a 30 day
workout challenge, and got an old treadmill, and became a dedicated
runner. In a few short years she has run
a broad array of races at distances from 1 mile to 100 miles. She simply loves to run. Looking for
friends to run with? New to running and
want some company and suggestions? Want
to run a 5K but not sure how to go about it?
Ashley will plan, coordinate and announce group activities through a new
Facebook page titled “RUNNERS CONNECT of MHC”. Already in the works are Ladies Night Out
runs, Pub Runs, and weekend longer runs.
Interested individuals can find details on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/runnersconnectofmhc/ More to
