Today, September 19, the Windsong Properties team laced up their sneakers and pinned on race numbers to gear up for Run at Work Day. Promoted by the Road Runners Club of America, this nationwide effort was established to encourage daily exercise. Once Becky Knight, purchasing assistant at Windsong Properties and avid runner, heard about the event, she knew she had to get her colleagues involved. “I have been running for about two years," explained Becky. “It has been instrumental in helping me lose over 150 pounds. So anytime I can promote being healthy and active, I do." 11 team members joined Becky, and they ran/walked from Windsong Properties’ corporate office in Woodstock to the nearby active adult community, Heron Pond, and back. Approximately 0.9 miles each way for a total of 1.8 miles, the team encouraged each other along the way and had fun too. While at Heron Pond, the participants were able to see (if only for a quick second or two) one of their latest projects. Priced from the low $300,000s, Heron Pond offers 75 low maintenance, ranch homes that feature new floor plans, courtyard retreats and a great location. Amenities include a private clubhouse for socializing, a beautifully landscaped linear park and a pond-side walking trail. Knowing they had worked hard to provide a community that improves the quality of life for empty nesters, gave them the momentum they needed to finish the run together. Back at the office’s finish line, other employees were waiting to congratulate the runners for accomplishing their goal. For more information on Run at Work Day, click here.
