Are you new to trails? Have you ever said...

"I don't go on trails because I'm too slow..."

"I don't go on trails because I don't want to go by myself..."

"I don't go on trails because I'm 'just' a hiker..."

"I don't go on trails because I don't want to get lost..."

 

Well, you don't have to say those things anymore. We have a beginner trail group just for you. We were all where you are now, and we remember saying all those things. So, we're here to help. We'll gather as a group every 1st & 3rd Wednesday evening and have a fabulous time in the beautiful foothills of Boise.

 

Please bring water - it's starting to get hot, and you'll need some hydration. 

 

We can't wait to take you on the trails with us. All ages, speeds, levels, welcome. No experience necessary. Only thing that is required is a happy attitude :-)

 

Call us at the State Street store with any questions - 208-258-7769.

What Motivates You to Move?

 

What:    Discussion of the Five Love Languages 

 

Where:  The PULSE State Street store - 5622 W State Street, BOISE

When:   Tuesday, June 14, 2016, 6:15 pm

 

Each month, we discuss a topic that inspires personal growth. This month in our "What Motivates You to Move?" session, we'll discuss Gary Chapman's book The Five Love Languages. It outlines five ways to express and experience love that Chapman calls "love languages." He believes that people need to receive love and uses the metaphor of a 'love tank' to explain peoples' need to be loved. Chapman suggests that to discover a love language, one must observe the way they express love to others, analyze what they complain about most often, and what they request from their significant other most often. People tend to naturally give love in the way that they prefer to receive love.

 

There is no cost to participate. We are a friendly, open group always looking for new ways to motivate us to be better people.
