Blue Zones Announcement Party!
On Friday, February 10th we will find out if Grinnell has been selected to be one of 10 site visits for the Blue Zones Project. We owe so much to our entire community. Please drop by our announcement party anytime between 4:15-5:30pm in JRC 227. Snacks and drinks and a plan on how we will move forward—whether we get the site visit or are doing it on our own—provided! We are still lagging in 15th place on clicks—we’d love to break into the top ten. Please encourage family and friends to take the sixty seconds to sign up—it is a small effort for the kinds of resources and energy that Blue Zones would bring to our community.
Sign ups at www.bluezonesproject.com (be sure to enter 50112 as your ZIP). See the scoreboard at www.bluezoneproject.com/scoreboard. See our application video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09o_RE-0HMY&feature=youtu.be or find Grinnell Blue Zones Project on facebook.

Want to feel better and maintain a healthy weight? Sitting for long periods of time is the enemy! Studies show that you need to move every 90 minutes (this helps you work more efficiently, too!) Come and learn a few exercises you can do in your work clothes, right at your desk. If people look at you funny, let them know they are missing out. Taught by Monica St. Angelo. Please send reservations to Jen Jacobsen via e-mail at jacobsen@grinnell.edu appreciated, but not required. (You do not have to work at Old Glove to get to go! Repeat attendees welcome.)
Ready to Run? Want to get on our new track before the NCAA Championships?
Intramurals and Wellness are sponsoring an indoor 5K and mile on Saturday, January 28th at 11am in the Bear Fieldhouse. Sign up online http://grinnell.athleague.com/leagues or just show up. Contact Tim Hammond hammondt@grinnell.edu for more information. All abilities welcome.
