SATURDAY ROUTE 7/20

The meeting place for Saturday was suggested by one of the CBRC participants and I really think you will all like the options!!!!

We will be meeting at Bayliss Park same time, 5:20am. However, I will be there by 5am for those wanting to leave early.

There will be a few route options. One suggestion that I use to run a lot from the YMCA was the Harrison 5mile route.
From Bayliss Park up to Broadway, run down past what is referred to as the 100 Block to 1st Street. Turn left on 1st Street - to Harrison Street (a gradual incline) to Delong Ave (a decline), to 8th Street(flat), all the way back up to Broadway turning left taking you back to Bayliss. Approximately 5 miles give or take.


Option #2 & #3

We will all leave from Bayliss - to Broadway, turn right. Stay on Broadway passing through the 100 Block, past Taco Johns, Walgreens, and Eddy's Gas Station which eventually veers into Kanesville Ave near Super Saver. We will follow Kanesville Ave(gradual incline) to College Road and turn left onto College Road (gradual decline). College Road will take you towards IWCC and College View Elementary. At this intersection where IWCC & College View Elementary meet, you will turn right in which you are now on VALLEY VIEW TRAIL. We have ran this many times. Stay on VV Trail.

This is where we split:
If you want to run close to 9 miles, you will turn right at Mall Drive and enter the mall staying on the road that passes the studio. You will exit the mall by Hy-Vee crossing Madison Ave and going up to WOODBURY AVE. Follow Woodbury to HARRY LANGDON Turn Right onto Harry Langdon, to 9th Ave and turn left. Follow 9th Ave a short distance to Pierce and turn right.... follow back to Bayliss Park.

OR, for those who want to add a couple more miles, do not turn at the mall but rather stay on VV trail all the way to HWY 92. Turn right onto HWY 92 to Harry Langdon. Follow Harry Landon to 9th Ave to Pierce and back to Bayliss Park.

THERE IS A SIDEWALK THAT RUNS PAST SUPER SAVER TO THE TOP WHERE WE WILL TURN AT COLLEGE ROAD  - I RUN THIS EVERYDAY  - SO THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY TRAFFIC ISSUES AT THIS POINT. COLLEGE ROAD IS CONSIDERED A BACK ROAD SO HERE TOO TRAFFIC SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. THE TRAIL OF COURSE IS SAFE. JUST BE WATCHFUL AND AWARE WHEN RUNNING ALONG HARRY LANGDON. THERE IS A SIDE ROAD OR BIKE TRAIL TO RUN/WALK ALONG. BE SURE TO RUN/WALK FACING THE CARS COMING TOWARDS YOU.

Hopefully I haven't totally confused any of you. If I have, please feel free to contact me via email or text. Again, I will be at Bayliss Park by 5am.

Thanks!!

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. Free radicals decrease immune function, increase the aging process, and increase abnormal cell production leading to disease. They are really easy to prepare too. Many types of squash can be eaten raw, on a salad, in a wrap, or as a snack with some hummus dip. Or, bake, grill, saute, mash, prepare as a soup base or into a bread. The seeds from pumpkin and winter squash

July Is Here!!!

New month - new workout - new you... What are you going to do this month to change up your current fitness routine? Trying something new to refresh your exercise routine, shock your body, and prevent becoming stale, you will need to change at least one fitness component. Remember, it is very easy for your body to become use to doing the same thing week after week, month after month. Due to the adaptation response, you will stop seeing changes in your body and your fitness. You may want to try a different class or simply add to your current workout routine another day. If you're exercising 3 or 4 days a week, it is time to increase the frequency to 5 or 6 days/week. Or, if you exercise for 30 minutes - 45 minutes, why not increase that by another 10-15 minutes which in turn will burn off more calories. One of the best ways to change your fitness level or raise your metabolic rate is to increase the intensity of your workouts. Simply by adding bigger exaggerated movements, moving fas
