Then we’ll head out for 2-3 miles the first week and 3-4 miles the second week on the Coal Creek Trail in Louisville. The run will be followed by a yoga flow at the studio designed to focus on strengthening and stretching the primary muscles used during running. Class will also include breathing techniques, hip openers, core strengthening, and balance work.This series is for All Levels and perfect for the Bolder Boulder training. $35 for both classes, $20 for a single class.

Historic Preservation Month Program: Tiny Houses with a History
Library 1st floor Meeting Room
May 5
7:00 pm
This tiny house at 1425 Cannon, located in Louisville’s Little Italy neighborhood and built in about 1900, consisted of just 375 square feet before a small addition of 100 square feet was added to the side. It has since been further enlarged. It was the longtime home of Gaetano and Tessie Grotto.
Today, the “tiny house” movement is leading many people to choose to live in smaller spaces, but in Louisville, the typical dwellings for many decades were tiny houses. In fact, many of the existing houses in Old Town were originally modest-sized houses that were later enlarged. Museum Coordinator Bridget Bacon will share images of some of Louisville’s original tiny houses and Historic Preservation Commission members will discuss landmarking in Louisville.
