RACE CALENDAR: Share with RV members what races you would like to recommend coming up in the near future. Either post as a reply or email us at any time with your recommendations. Any Races anyone?
Tip of the Week: Use a marker to date the inside tongue of your runnings shoes to help you keep track of when you purchased them. This will serve as a reminder to help determine when it would be the best time to replace them. Depending on your weight, running style, and the amount of miles you train will determine when and how often you will need to replace them. Your feet carry you all day and sometimes all night long and they deserve to be well taken care of!
Suggestions? Questions?? Complaints?? Deborah4RunVentura@verizon.net

NOW.......A few words from George........
MY CONTRIBUTION FOR NOVEMBER 8, 2008
Congratulations to all who raced last weekend. No doubt you all did well!
This Saturday, we go beyond the half marathon distance. Fourteen miles is our distance. For some of you, this will be a record distance. For others, this will be your longest distance since your last marathon or ultra-marathon race. Whatever the situation, it’ll be another milestone!
A word of caution (it seems I’m full of this). As we get into the longer distances, we put our bodies under greater stress. Yes, I know I’m always cautioning you about injuries, but this one has a different twist. The stresses of running longer distances and the accompanying microscopic damage to the muscle fibers compromise our immune system, making us more susceptible to colds and other communicable diseases.

You may experience a slight fever the evening after a long run, although those who take analgesics such as Advil or Aleeve for pain relief may not notice the fever due to the fever reducing effects of the drug.
In addition to a good meal and rest to speed recovery from your long runs, refrain from attending all-night parties, large crowds and hospitals with sick people for a day or two. Coming down with a cold or flu can put a damper on your training.
For those who have not received a goodie bag, I have yours in my vehicle. I may be late arriving this Saturday, but if all goes well, I should be there to greet you on your return to home base.
