A huge field for this years Freehold
St Paddy's Day Races put on by the Freehold Area Running Club. The sun shined
bright on the field of runners many in green with a spattering of JSRC Orange in
between. It was a little chilly with a cool north west wind but the
runners put in some good times for the 10 Miler and accompanying 5K on the hilly
course which started and finished in Tighe Park in Freehold Township. In the 10
Miler it was Bill Hoffman coming in first for the men in a time of 52:19 and for

Pocono Marathon
Sunday, May 7, 26.2 Miles, Pocono
Mountain Marathon, Tobyhanna to East Stroudsburg, Pa - benefits the American
Red Cross - 1500 foot vertical drop to assure a fast time!, Registration only
$50 by March 31st, Also a 5K, 570-476-3800
Just
a few words about this event. I spent my summers there growing up. The scenery
is great, and the drop is wonderful! I encourage anyone to see the wonderful
Pocono's this way. I am planning on getting a JSRC banner and get permission to
hang it on the left hand side in front of the tennis courts so everyone will
have a good view, Unfortunately, you will not realize when you get close to the
bottom of the drop there is a great natural spring where a lot of people
"bottle up". Evian has nothing on this water. After the drop is where
I will be, with a banner, dressed in Orange (of course!)cheering our club
members on. Maybe I can get Norm to stand on the other side of the road for any
member that needs a potty break (not a porta potty but real plumbing but hush on
that as it is a private place) where being female does not mean one has to be an
acrobat due to men who aim poorly.If I was still able, I would suggest a warm-up
in my area that would have part of the run near the water falls that are on the
property of this association as well as a great run up the mountain. I started
running there and as Billy Crystal says, lt's mahvelous, simply mahvelous! I
would run up the mountain first, as I had fresh legs and it would get my motor
going. After you get through Paradise Valley, you get to Henryville. Its a
little hiccup of a town that has seen Presidents and Annie Oakley as visitors.
The rest will see you go through some of the tacky Honeymoon resorts, but it is
still interesting. Course is great. Hope to catch some members. Deana

The start of this Year's E. Murray
Todd Half Marathon
It
was a cold and blustery morning for the E. Murray Todd Half Marathon
staged by the Monmouth County Parks Department. Despite the cold a large field
of over 400 battled the wind and put in some impressive times at this Jersey Shore
favorite. The men's winner (finishing on the left) was Brian
Crowley of Hillsborough in a
time of 1:14:19 and for the women it was JSRC's Diane Petruzelli of
Lincroft who finished in 1:25:57. Congratulations to the Parks Department
and all the volunteers along the course who stood out there in the cold weather
supporting the runners..

The Jersey Shore Running Club held
its annual party at the beautiful Barclay in Belmar this past Saturday
night. The large field danced, drank and ate the night away in celebration
of another noteworthy year of accomplishments. . Awards were
presented and all the Race Director's of JSRC Events were recognized for their
efforts. The Year was reviewed with a photo show of highlights from the
past year and Keith Miller (see story below) was honored for his bravery
in rescuing someone drowning in the Ocean off of Avon. Barbara Hay was
recognized for her many efforts in support of the Club to include here
editing of the Award Winning Club Newsletter and acting as volunteer
coordinator.
The newly elected officers were introduced for 2006
led by Dave Zurheide who we believe is something like the Fifteenth President of
the Club. The party
went on through the night with some members seen dancing on the tables - see the
photo album or show for all the details.

Runners on the Beach in Manasquan
It was a typical winter morning
weather wise here at the Jersey Shore for the Second Annual Mid Winter Beach Run
held this past Saturday in Manasquan. The huge crowd necessitated starting the
runners on the road where they ran North and then turned around onto the
Manasquan Boardwalk and then onto the beach for a really tough run on the soft
sand. The post race party was jammed packed at Legget's where runners were
treated to an assortment of refreshments and awards were presented.
Congratulations to Mary O'Brien for organizing a really spectacular event.
Thanks to all the JSRC and Manasquan First Aid Volunteers for making the race
possible.

JSRC Runner Makes Rescue at Sea
Keith Miller Rescues Swimmer While
on Run in Avon
Keith finishing the Interlaken 5K
last year
While doing his regular Saturday Run
with JSRC Members Bill Koch, Mary Moriarty, Jeannane McFadden and Bob Rosa, Keith Miller
rescued a distraught swimmer that he spotted in need of help off the Avon
boardwalk. Keith did not hesitate in jumping into the ocean (with his
running shoes, tights, and clothes) to rescue the individual who he spotted
while the group was doing their regular Saturday Run starting in Asbury Park.
. Without Keith's bravery the poor soul would most likely not have made
it. Congrats to Keith - a Real Hero!.
