Check out our new feature on our site – nutrition! Our own Jane and sports nutritionist, Emily Mitchell, sets us up with what to do to become fit and fast. Check it out here.

The Janes will travel to the Brea mall to race in the Brea 8k on Sunday, February 28th. This race is the only sanctioned 8k (about 5 miles) in this region and represents a rolling course with long straightaways. Tania, Adrienne, Tiffany, Jenna and Kirsten will comprise a team of five to compete in the team competition for the USATF Southern California Association race series in hopes of taking that team title. For more information about the Brea 8k, click here.

Cambria went out Pasadena this past weekend and ran a half marathon. She came in second place running a 1:25.00 behind Kelly Flathers of Cal Coast Club won it in a time of 1:23.51. Cambria felt good about the effort noting that she was just wanting to get in a long, hard run in for the fitness benefits at this time of the year. For complete results, click here.

The Janes are looking for some fast women in the area who are looking to improve their times, run with a group of supportive women and race with a team. Currently, team members are competing on three fronts: road races from 5K to the marathon, track races from 800M to 10,000M, and fall team cross country. All interested parties are encouraged review our individual and team histories. If you feel that you would be able to commit yourself to training and racing with the team, and would contribute on a competitive basis, please fill out our initial screening application.

We do have time qualifications of 18:00 for an open runner and 19:00 for a masters runner to join, though, so please take that into consideration before applying. Of course, you may race longer or shorter distances and be better at those so please let us know about those if the 5k is not your specialty.

Come join the Janes!
