Brotherhood Mission
Updated: March 2, 2010
WELCOME TO THE BROTHERHOOD MISSION'S TEAM PAGE!
We wished for less snow and we got the opposite!! Though we were hit hard by the snow during the month of February, Brotherhood Mission still continued to pound the pavement(or snow covered sidewalks of Fishtown!)
February was a chilly yet very exciting month for our team!! We welcomed many new non-residential members as well as new residential members to the team! Our circle is the morning is growing to great lengths! We look forward to our MWF runs,especially when we hear Bruce coming up to the circle cheering, “The champ is here!’
We celebrated birthdays as well!! Stacy and Juan both had birthdays this month and of course we celebrated with none other than some delicious cupcakes in the morning! Thanks Kris for taking care of our stomachs!
Speaking of food, we headed over to Northern Liberties for a pizza lunch at Home Slice pizza! We enjoyed a fun afternoon of eating (of course!) and hanging out together!
This month, Brotherhood Mission participated in the Ambler Frostbite 5 Miler. Ovidio, Andrew, Stacy, Elizabeth, Kathy, Dan, Ashley, MJ, and Katie all ran this VERY hilly 5 mile race! Everyone had such a great time on a beautiful morning! We had a blast hanging out with the other teams and enjoying some post-race goodies! We are getting ready for our next race in March! Check out the race calendar and try to come out to support us!! Our races are tons of fun, you won’t be disappointed!
The team also had a great time at North Bowl, taking part in some fun bowling activities on a Monday night! Connie finished his game strong and showed us all up in bowling!! I smell a rematch coming very soon! It was wonderful to hang out with the other teams and spend some more time together! We love each others company!
As March approaches, we are hoping for no more snow! (hear that Mother Nature!?) We will be getting ready to run some longer distances in preparation for future races! Come out and run with us at 5:30am at 401 E.Girard Ave!! We would love to have you!
