Welcome to
Team Run Your Life! 
We are the adult Running/Walking Club of Run Your Life
TM 

Run Your Life is a 501(c)(3) non-profit
health and wellness org guiding and inspiring children & adults to take charge of their health, fitness, and overall well-being.

A Run/Walk Club with a purpose.

Our Kids Clubs Mission is: "Healthy kids become healthy adults, and healthy adults are an asset to the world". Run Your Life is passionate about this purpose and continues to share our clubs and tools with children, whether they can afford it or not.

Our Kids Clubs consist of an open agenda of fitness, fun, community time, journaling, fueling (healthy, light "snack"), small group and a lot of sharing.  We wish for all kids to be solid in who they are, fit in mind and body for life!  This passion is evident in our Kids:  They are AMAZING!!  The positive energy that is produced by them at our clubs is such an asset to everyone.  They learn tools to help themselves work out issues, accept all aspects of who they are, and also learn to see the value in other personalities and types of people.  We are one big community supported by our communities!

Our Run Your Life Adult Running Club is a "Club with a purpose". This passionate purpose is to support our children's programs while taking the steps to take care of their own health, fitness, and well-being. Our Run Your Life adults are amazing as well, and are an excellent example good health and taking charge of their lives.  They take an active part in taking care of our community of kids by participating in events and opportunities to raise funds for them.  This is a most magnificent community of people!

Our philosophy of  "healthy kids become healthy adults and healthy adults are an asset to the world" is so important to what drives our passion.  Healthy adults take care of themselves as well as the environment and their communities.  Healthy adults do not cause crime or violence, creating a place where peace and cooperation can grow and thrive.  Healthy adults accept others for who they are because they are solid in themselves first and can work with others for the best interest of all.  It is that important.  
Team Run Your Life also has the passion to inform others that we are not limited by our circumstances.  We blame no one.  We are in charge of our lives.  We...are Run Your Life!
 Join us! It is one of the most rewarding organizations you'll ever become a part of! We look forward to having you on board!  
Hop on the Run Your Life Revolution today!

Hi Team!



Happy Friday! Hope you are feeling great and ready to start the day!



Eating well is something we all know is important to a healthy lifestyle. Pretty simple, right? Well, just as important is portion control. Most people do not realize that they are over their daily calorie intake based on the correct sized portions of their healthy meals. I found this great tool from WebMD that I'd like to share with you:… Continue
