Bison Witches, 326 N. 4^th Ave has extended their happy hour to 9:00 PM on Mondays, just for MMM Athletes. This includes $2.50 select premium wells. You will love their sandwiches too! Check them out, and be sure you tell them “thanks” from MMM.

The Shanty’s Bill Nugent says, “We sure are getting some nice people in here on Monday nights”. He says to tell you thanks, and to drop in during or after your walk/run for a free bottled water.

Even on a cold and blustery winter’s night…we had nearly 200 in attendance, and reached a total of 1900 individual athletes. Let’s continue to grow a healthy Tucson and a healthy downtown. Bring your friends and family with you on Monday. We have 155 MMM Athletes listed on the website after attending at least 10 MMM Mondays, and 214 are shirted…attended eight times. Are YOU one of them???

Training Tips at the Training Table on Monday, December 14…Becky Welp, RD. will return to talk about “Strategies for Building Healthy and Effective New Years Resolutions”. You will find Becky inside the Market or on the patio, on Monday, December 14, from 6:45 to 7:15.

Becky Welp,RD is a registered dietitian at Mesa Verde Medical Group, working with clients on weight loss and fitness goals.  Becky believes in a natural approach to weight loss, focusing more on mindful eating and daily “fun” activity, rather than a restrictive diet and rigorous exercise that can lead to burnout.  She is pleased to be a part of the community wide effort at Meet Me at Maynard’s to achieve good health.

We have found that informal training tips are the most popular….more informal and interactive discussions that allow you to stay on or near the patio….and not miss the drawing! You can expect to see regular sessions on performance, psychology of performance, sports nutrition, injury prevention, etc. Check the “Training Tips” tab on the website for upcoming sessions. Next session is on December 14.

Also on the “Training Tips” tab…Are you new to walking/running? Want some expert advice? “Meet Me At Maynard’s Training Program…”Beginning Fitness for Walkers and Runners”

Bring your camera on Monday and take a photo of you and your friends. Send it to us to post on the MMM website. If you don’t like the one we took, send us another. And don’t forget to send photos of your “traveling” MMM shirt. We will post it in “Traveling T-shirts”.

Five reasons why you should be a MMM volunteer:

5.         Your “I’m worthy” meter is not recording

4.         You’ve noticed that the same people volunteer nearly every Monday

3.         Your mother-in-law wants you to visit on Mondays

2.         You want to earn your MMM t-shirt (or your second one)

1.         You want to be part of the best and healthiest event Tucson has to offer!

Please send us an email, and let us know you can volunteer once or twice a month, or just try volunteering one time meetmeatmaynards@gmail.com If you can give up your walk/run every once in a while that would be great. If not, then just volunteer until 6:00.

THANK YOU!!!

Safety is our priority! You must walk/run with a flashlight or headlight. It is very important that we be highly visible and that we all obey the traffic signals. It’s not a race…it’s a social event. Let’s make it a safe one. Bring any old flashlight, or get your official Meet Me at Maynard’s flashlight at Maynard’s Market for only $5.99 (including batteries).

Say thank you to our 2010 MMM sponsors:

The Running Shop/ Worldly Soles
