It's the perfect time of year to add squash, zucchini and pumpkin to your diet. All of them are in vitamin A, C, K, and all of your B's such as folate, B6 & B12. Minerals include, manganese, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Because of their darker & richer colors, they are high in beta carotene. It is these antioxidants that block cellular damage from occurring due to free radicals from being produced from cellular respiration. If you are one who pariticpates in a lot of cardiovascular exercise producing aerobic cellular respiration, you want to make sure you are consume foods high in antioxidants.

Weekly Goal & Logging Miles

Goal Mileage WEEK # 3
This week's running mileage goal is 17 - 50 miles between Sunday and this Saturday. On your own, with the CBRC, or with someone else, you should strive for 3-4 miles per daily run on 3 or 4 nonconsecutive days for those who have been running less than a year on a regular basis. Those running for several years on a regular basis should aim for higher mileage, on most days of the week as long as you are injury-free. Saturday, June 29th will be our last group Saturday run until July 13th. Plan on an increase in mileage this coming Saturday. As always, there will be different routes/mileage to choose from.
