Marathon Kick Off
Posted by Guru | Tagged as: charity, fitness, marathon, NYC, running, Team for Kids, training
We’ve been talking about it for a while. Now it is about to get going.
The First Annual TFG NYC Marathon Team!!
Well, “team” is a bit much. We are just a bunch of normal folk, like friends you have or people you might bump into on the subway. But we are going to run the NYC Marathon. Some of us are running a marathon for the first time and some of us are running to try and beat our best time. But all of us are running for Team for Kids, a great charity dedicated to helping our city’s kids get and stay fit.
And we want you to join us. If you are already planning on running but just want some free advice and some running buddies; or if you have always wanted to try but just didn’t think you could make it, now is your chance.
Email Michael RIGHT NOW at michael@fitnessgurunyc.com and add the subject line “I Want To Run”.
Training kicks off this weekend and we would love to have you on board!!
One Of Our Own

My friend, Ed Esposito, The Spin Guru, sent me a note yesterday regarding a cause he is championing.
Here is the note:
Winter Vinecki (www.teamwinter.org) is a 10-year-old superstar who recently lost her dad, Michael , to Prostate Cancer two months ago, shy of his 41st birthday. She has been participating in a season of triathlons to raise awareness of the current Prostate Cancer epidemic going on, as well as honoring her dad in a very special manner.
If you can spare a few dollars for a great young lady and a great cause, please donate at the following link: http://athletes.kintera.org/teamwinter/edesposito If the economy has hit you hard and you can’t afford it, please send this out to 10 friends. All parts add up! Currently I am donating the pay from one Spin class that I teach each week to this great cause.

Thanks for all the support for a great cause:
Ed
ANYBODY WHO DONATES GATES ACCESS TO A 1 TB DRIVE OF MUSIC I HAVE ONLINE. FREE MUSIC FOR THE SUMMER!
Needless to say, if you can help the cause, please do. And pass this along to your friends.– Michael
