11/9 Session at University of Hartford on Personal Safety

I am a West Hartford resident and the grants & programs manager of The Women's Education and Leadership Fund at The University of Hartford. I wanted to draw your attention to a session we are presenting

Personal Safety for Women
Place: Gengras Student Union 335 
Date: Tuesday, November 9, 2010
Time: 12:00-1:00pm
description: Many in our community have been shaken by the recent news of the brutal sexual assault of a jogger in West Hartford. Join University of Hartford Public Safety Sergeant Tiffany Boykin, a WELFund Laura Johnson Initiative for Women Leaders participant, to learn what you need to know to protect yourself. Sergeant Boykin will address how best to protect yourself from assault while jogging, walking and in your daily travels. 

Students, staff, faculty and members of the community are encouraged to participate. Bring along your lunch and your questions and concerns.

I can't guarantee you will find lots of parking on campus at this hour, but I urge you to attend.

More runners and a possible group!

UPDATE: A few more interested runners.

1. I'd love to do a 4-5am group daily or a Sunday group from 5-7 or 6-8 am.....thanks so much!  You guys are  so good to organize this!  ps...if any runners want to train for something cool....we can put together a Ragnor Relay group...200 miles in 24 hours May20-21...team of 12 needed.....sure would be cool to see the neighborhood come back full throttle!  Thanks so much!

2. Another runner who usually runs by herself mid-mornings would like to join a group. She runs in "rebounders," which slows down her pace to a 12-15 min/mile. 

3. (from 11/1 comments) How about another old sloooooow runner (12-15 min/mile) who wants to run at about 7:30.

LOOKS LIKE RUNNERS 2 + 3 here plus the woman from the previous post who would like to run between 7-7:30 have a group!!!  Now, how best to set up a meeting time/place? If you are all comfortable sharing your email address with the others, you can let me know at takebackthemorning@gmail.com and you can email one another.

We've Got a Runner (or two)!

We've got two women so far interested in getting a running group together in the Morley neighborhood. One woman would like to run at 5:30 AM every day (pace of about 10 min miles) and the other woman would like to run between 7-7:30 (usually about 4 miles).

Please let's spread the word and help female runners find one another to form these running groups.

No woman should have to run alone!

Please email takebackthemorning@gmail.com if you're interested in joining/starting a group.
