You can exercise both your mind and body next Thursday (July 1) at the Village Green.
Fitness writer and marathoner Sarah Bowen Shea ’88 will discuss her book Run Like a Mother: How to Get Moving and Not Lose Your Family, Job or Sanity, and then take part in a 5K fun run/walk in the village.

The event, which begins at 6 p.m., is free and open to the public. The fun run/walk is optional and requires no registration or fee; any and all speeds are welcome.
Bowen co-authored the book with Dimity McDowell ’94. They both were student-athletes at Colgate and are now freelance magazine writers and moms.
Run Like a Mother is chock full of essays that mimic the conversations good friends have when they’re out on a long run.
The authors offer inspirational advice, practical strategies, and crack-you-up anecdotes to help multitasking women make running part of their busy lives.
The pair offered running tips in the spring 2010 edition of the Colgate Scene, and they maintain an active blog.
Thursday’s event is sponsored by the Colgate Bookstore. For more information about the event and available book discounts, go here.
