The governor of California has issued a new challenge to parents, teachers, and students.  It "encourages Californians to be physically active 30-60 minutes a day at least 3 days a week."  http://www.calgovcouncil.org/challenge/

Heida Computers has taken on this challenge and started it's own running team called "Team Heida Computers." 

Realizing the need to become actively involved in exercise, Team Heida Computers was formed.  Some of our team members are everyday runners and others have recently set forth new running goals.

If you'd like to take on the challenge and join our team, representing Heida Computers the next time you compete, please contact us today.

Our second team run was September 5, 2009 during the annual Color the Skies event in Ripon.  This event is held to benefit Chidren's Hospital of Central California.  It was a great run with a lot of people.  We added three new runners to our team this time around!
