Jingle Bells Kids run/race
The weather did not hinder the turn out for the jingle bell run downtown Toms River this afternoon. Huge success from the kiddy dash, it's a free event I have kids that do it from 2 years old to 12 years old. Some kids that jump in run with the little kids to keep them company, a little give back to the running world, and it's a good warm up for them if they're doing one of the next races the one mile or the 5K. It's a great course for kids because it's a closed roads course so [...]
Running in the rain
Nobody looks out the window on a drizzly day and thinks, “Looks like a great day for a run!” But there are real perks to getting outside no matter the weather. A run in the rain can lift your spirits and boost your self-assurance. Plus, running in the rain means you’ll be prepared if a storm cloud suddenly appears overhead come race day. WELL ITS RACE DAY AND ITS RAINING. ● Gear up for rain: A shell, socks and quick-drying fabrics can make a difference. ● Plan with the forecast in mind: Check the weather and take time to warm [...]
Cold Weather Running Tips
Cold weather running is not my favorite, however one thing I always do is make sure I put some kind of moisturizer on my face. I personally use Vaseline friends use aquaphor but at least a decent moisturizer really helps the barrier for the wind and the cold. When you start a run and it's s really cold but you don't want to overdress, sometimes I wear arm sleeves under my long sleeve shirt and this way I can just slide them out when I warm up after the first mile or so. Also for my hands I use outdated [...]

It’s not just exercise..
That’s what running does to lives. It’s not just exercise. It’s not just achievement. It’s a daily discipline that has nothing to do with speed, weight, social status, sexual orientation, political affiliation, where you live, what car you drive, or whether anyone anywhere loves you. It’s about the slow and painful process of being the best you can be.
