Our Day, Quad-Props, Watch Out, An Offer


National Running Day
Hope you got in a few miles for National Running Day on June 6.  The weather was perfect from dawn to dusk so there were no excuses.

Way to go Jill!
Congratulations to Jill Forsythe on having her second year Quadzilla 15K trail race cited as one of the best mid-distance trail runs by Running Times magazine.  An impressive feat  for any race.  I worked the finish line last year and can attest to the positive reactions of the finishers, although some were mostly glad they were done with a challenging course. http://www.runningtimes.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=26262

Being Careful
Not everyone responds positively to exercise.  A fraction of those who exercise show indications of increased risk of heart disease upon exercising.  While the results are not definitive as the athletes are not followed for an extended period of time to see if the increased indicators translated into an increased incidence of heart disease, the results again show why weekend warriors should make sure they are monitored medically when starting an exercise program.  http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/30/can-exercise-be-bad-for-you/?ref=nutrition

Get Trained

You are able to log your workout performance and give feedback on how you feel on a daily basis, as well as track (if you wish) any or all variables such as weight, nutrition throughout the day, hours and quality of sleep, blood pressure, stress, mood, etc.
