Your dog is happy to see you when you get home.  Gracie is glad to see that her dad got home safely after two years in Afghanistan.  Welcome home, soldier.  Gracie says "thank you" far better than we ever could.  

Yes, getting up and moving is important.  No matter how slowly you move, you are "lapping everyone on the couch".  So, moving is #1.

As we get ready for the Fifth Third Riverbank Run 5K Community walk next month, let's take the time to do something for ourselves!  Click Running Man for more!

Girls Night Out at Douglas J

Take time out of your Fifth Third River Bank Run training for a night of relaxation on Thursday, April 18 from 5:30-7:30p at Douglas J Aveda Institute (138 Commerce Ave, downtown Grand Rapids)!  The event is free and open to the public, and the first 53 ladies through the door will receive a fashion tote with Aveda and Fifth Third River Bank Run goodies!  You'll also take advantage of complimentary salon services including mini-manicures and stylings, chair massages, hair braiding bar and make-up touch ups, plus a wine bar and appetziers!  Event discounts, register-to-win opportunities and Rays of Hope International jewelry sales will make this an ideal night out for you and friends or family.
