Off And Running

If you’re planning to run Bloomsday, it’s a good idea to get off the couch before May 7. The following training clinics can help whip you into shape:

Holy Family Hospital and Group Health Northwest will hold free clinics at 8:30 a.m. on Saturdays from March 11 to April 29 at the West Central Community Center, 1603 N. Belt. Call 482-2356 for more information.

The YWCA, 829 W. Broadway, will hold clinics at 5:30 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays between March 6 and May 10. Former Bloomsday race director Sylvia Quinn, who’s won 15 firstplace medals in her age category, will teach the clinics. The cost is $25 for members and $40 for nonmembers. Call 326-1190, extension 19, for more information.

The YMCA, 507 N. Howard, started its clinics Tuesday, but you still can jump in. The classes will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays until May 4. The cost is $17 for members and $37 for nonmembers, including the late fee. Call 838-3577 for more information.
