Marathon Training Set to Start

Get Ready For Fall Marathon at Sunday Runs 

Its not too early to gear up fore your planned Fall Marathon or Half Marathon.  As we always do our Sunday Runs at Bodman Park are an excellent location to get your training in. The course is mostly shaded from the summer sun and has plenty of water stops, good company at all paces and post run refreshments. We meet every Sunday at Bodman Park in Middletown which is just off of Navesink River Road.  We run on back roads and trails with very little car traffic so its a safe place to run.  Start your training at an upcoming Sunday Run. Runs start at 8 AM and in the summer the long run group usually goes out early to beat the heat.

Swine Flu and Running

Google Swine Flu Tracking Map

There have been cases of Swine Flu Reported in Monmouth County and New York City. While as runners we should not over react some basic pre cautions should be heeded.

Be careful in confined or crowded spaces like at race registration or expos where there may be people who could have been exposed to the flu.  When taking water at water stops exercise caution as people working the water stops could have been exposed. Same for post race refreshments and award ceremonies. Use hand sanitizers in porta johns.  Avoid crowded busses and public transportation.

Running in endurance events presents extra concern as the body's immune system is jeopardized making one more susceptible to infection.  So exercise some common sense pre cautions.

Most Important - Wash Your Hands Frequently.

 

Laptop Needed

The club is in need of a laptop computer to keep club information.  If anyone has an old laptop that they don't need or their company has replaced.  Let Laura at colorado66@hotmail.com know.

The donation as any donation to the club could be tax deductible as we are a 501c(3) organization. But check your tax advisor.
