Club Party Postponed until Saturday, Feb 18
At 11 am, Saturday, JSRC announces the
postponement of the Annual Holiday Party scheduled for Feb 11 to Saturday, Feb
18 due to the impending snow storm. Same place, same time, only the date moved back by a week.
We will post additional updates as necessary.
It is party time or snow shoveling... Shoveling won this week.
That also gives everyone an extra week to sign up for the Club
Party to be held at the Barclay in Belmar NOW on February 18th. There are
still seats left for the Social Event of the Year. You can also register ON
LINE.
It's election time at JSRC and the
Official Ballot has just been released. It will also be in the upcoming
newsletter to be mailed out shortly. You must be a current dues paid up
member to vote. Ballots can be mailed in to be received no later
than February 17th or brought to the Club Annual Party on February
18th.

Disney Half Marathon
Laurie Gordon
Despite
near freezing temperatures in sunny Florida, Guy and Laurie Gordon turned in
stellar performances at the January 8th Disney World Half Marathon.
Guy
and Laurie, who hail from Stillwater, were given elite starting slots and didnt
disappoint. Guy ran 1:21.15 to place 20th and Laurie ran 1:34:46 to place 199th
just 5 months after giving birth to their daughter, Ashley Rose. There were
15,000 competitors in the race.
Despite
the near-freezing temperatures, Laurie's dad, Charlie Parton, was out on the
course to cheer the Gordons on while Trudy Parton kept an eye on
budding-runner, Ashley, back at the hotel.
The
Gordons invite anyone interested to venture to Jersey's Northwest for the 4th
Annual Beach Blast 5-K that they will direct this Saturday, January 21st. The
race starts at 1 pm at Swartswood State Park and is a beach theme wrapped around
a fast 5-K. Post race baked goods will be served and if you run in just a
bathing suit, your entry will be reimbursed at the finish line. Proceeds go to
The Bears Youth Running Program which teaches kids from around the state the
beauty of the sport of running both physically and mentally. E-mail LaurieGordonRun@aol.com
if you want more info or to be directed to an on-line application.

It was a stellar year for running at
the Jersey Shore and the Jersey Shore Running Club. Not only did many
members achieve personal accomplishments the club through its events and the
events that we were actively involved in were able to raise more that $300,000
for local charitable groups such as Special Olympics, The Foodbank, Habitat for
Humanity and many other worthwhile causes. We all look forward to another
successful year in 2006. Our membership also grew to over 1500 members
representing all levels of ability. Our group runs were again well
attended and provided an opportunity for all to stay motivated year round.
This was all done with the hard work
of club volunteers. All are invited to get involved with the Club in
2006. Make a New Year's Resolution to come out to a group run, volunteer
at an event or attend the monthly club meeting.
Club Helps Out Former JSRC
President Chuck Whelan
A group of friends of Chuck Whelan
recently visited him and presented him with a check to help with his medical
bills. Chuck has a debilitating disease and was extremely grateful for the
support.
Thanks from Chuck
Thank you Lou and the JSRC members for the generous donation you
gave me from the Trick or Trot Race. I always enjoyed running. The Sunday
mornings at Bodman Park with the club and the runs on the boardwalk were very
enjoyable.
There are few places in the United States as nice as the area surrounding
Bodman Park and a boardwalk that you can run 17miles on. When running the boards
one of my favorite things to do was go down to the shoreline and play tag with
the edge of the continent(the waves). A good interval workout in the sand.
It was good to see club members and hear that the JSRC is doing very well. I
can remember when Phill started the club as Team Running Store in the early 80s
and we were only about 15 members. Now there are over 1,500 members the largest
running club in the state of NJ.
Happy New Year,
Chuck
PS: I am not able to use the computer so my son is sending this e-mail

Twilight Run is Spectacular
The Start of the New Year's Eve
Twilight Run
A huge crowd of approximately 200
runners said so long to 2005 at the Club's Annual New Year's Eve Twilight Run
held in beautiful Lake Como at the Jersey Shore. The rain stopped just in
time for the run and held off until everyone returned back to Bar Anticipation
for a hot buffet, party, dancing and lots of prizes. Tim Mahoney led the
runners with his 2006 "Birthday Suit" as pictured above.
Thanks to Phil and Penny Hinck the
Race Directors who also celebrated their Wedding Anniversary as well as Pat and Reggie from Bar A and all the other volunteers
who made for one spectacular New Year's Eve Celebration.
This event will certainly grow into
one of the big ones at the Jersey Shore.

Smoking Ban
A bill is being considered by the
State to ban smoking in Bars and Restaurants. The Bill is co sponsored by Club
Member and Assemblyman Sean Kean. If you would like to express your
opinion on the Bill you can call the two Assembly Members who are controlling
the vote Speaker Sires and Assemblyman Roberts at 1-609-292-7065. Your
calls to this number will help put pressure on our elected officials to consider
this measure. It is endorsed by the American Cancer Society and the JSRC
recently sent a letter of support to the Assembly. So this is your turn to
express your opinion regarding a smoke free environment in New Jersey.
Call 1-609-292-7065 Now!
