Hi, I'm Brendan Lewis. More than a few years ago I quit smoking and began running in hopes of not gaining weight. At first I could hardly run around the block but with a little determination, I eventually crossed the finish line of my first Marathon. Now I am an avid triathlete with a battery of shorter distance triathlons under my belt and most recently a half Ironman. I hope to complete the full Ironman in 2014. This club was founded in hopes of growing this sport here in Colchester, CT and at …

THERE IS NOTHING more natural than hiking through nature barefoot. The soles of your feet and toes are wonderful sensory organs and the myriad of feelings from earth, grass, moss, pine-needles, and mud are wonderful. Many could not see hiking any other way. HIKING BAREFOOT causes virtually no trail erosion since a bare foot makes much less of an imprint than a booted foot. Bare feet are therefore the environmentally sound choice for hiking. THE BAREFOOT HIKERS are groups of people who enjoy hiki …

Hi Valley Moms!! This group was getting ready to close and I thought I'd jump in to see if we can get some activity up and running again!  Valley Moms was started by a mom looking for kid friendly activities and chance to get out of the house with makeup on and recharge! Personally, I'm a WAHM of a 1 1/2 year old.  Getting out of the house for me means running errands or meeting with clients.  My daughter & I just don't have much interaction with other kids and moms, unless they happen to be a c …

In general, the atmosphere is laid back and welcoming (but can be quite crazy too).  People who come to several events have often become very good friends.  Yet, please do not be mistaken: We are still open to meeting new people and making …
