Tijuana Flats Run |
|
|
|
Thanks to Ken Stein for organizing the
Winter Springs third Tuesday group run.
According to Ken, it was a great success
even though it got rained out. A couple of
members took to the pavement even with the
rain. The rest pulled some tables together
and enjoyed the food a Tijuana Flats. We
hope all of the runs can be this successful
on a rainy night. We are looking forward to
the next third Tuesday group run at Mills
Market.
And since it got rained out, Ken would like
to attempt the Tijuana Flats run again on
next Tuesday, October 10th. The run will
start at 6:45 pm so you can try to beat the
sun and not run in darkness. You can run
down the trail while it is still light and
then get off of it before the dark part on
the way back. Contact Ken at kenbrew2061@yahoo.com.

New Resource for Runners |
|
|
|
Bryan Whitesides is a runner and a
physical therapist. He contacted the ORC to
let us know about an exciting new resource
for our club members. At http://www.injuredrunner.com
runners can easily access information
regarding a large spectrum of running
injuries. You can click on an image and find
information for injuries in the region. They
also have information on cross training,
principles of recovery and a forum devoted
to running injuries.
They have also produced a DVD with over two
hours of exercises to help runners fully
recover from injury, prevent injury and
enhance performance. Details can be found
