CB Run Club

Saturday's Routes:
There will two options. A 4.5 mile route and a route that is about 9 miles...give or take.

We will meet at the parking lot of Starbucks/Orange Leaf. I believe the area is called Metro Crossing.

Everyone will exit the parking lot heading towards Metro Drive - Target, Hobby Lobby and follow Metro Drive around passed Sam's Club to the overpass that runs behind Menard's.

 At the end of the overpass, Turn LEFT onto South Expressway, be careful on this road as there is just a small lane to run/walk in but that time in the morning shouldn't be too busy. You will continue to the Veterans Memorial Highway and cross. You are now next to TRACTOR SUPPLY & Heartland Christian School and the Country Club Golf Course.

THIS IS WHERE WE SPLIT UP.

4.5 mile route. You will turn RIGHT onto WRIGHT ROAD  - the street behind HEARTLAND CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. The Country Club golf course will be on your left and condominiums on your right. Stay on WRIGHT ROAD until you get to the very end and TURN RIGHT onto 11th Street.
Cross the VETERANS MEMORIAL HIGHWAY again, You will see a CASEY'S GAS STATION on the other side. Stay on 11th street until you get to 32nd AVE. You will turn right pass  a few car dealerships and at the very end of 32nd Ave is a Burger King on your left  and a Hardees on your right.  Cross the SOUTH EXPRESSWAY again this time passing in front of Menard's. Follow around pass Sam's Club to Metro Drive which passes Target Store and back to Starbucks.

I WILL BE RUNNING THE 4.5 Miles. The 4.5 mile route does not loop Manawa Lake.


9 mile route:
As the 4.5 mile group turns RIGHT onto WRIGHT ROAD, you will continue towards the lake. The old Ice Cream which is now CRUMBS BAKERY will be where you TURN LEFT onto NAVAJO.. Basically, follow the road around the lake. There is an area that you can choose to get on a paved trail or continue towards MANAWA DRIVE taking you closer to those new homes. Either choice will lead you around the lake.

Once out of the lake area you will cross VETERANS MEMORIAL HIGHWAY (see a CASEY'S GAS STATION). Stay on 11th Street until 32nd Ave. Turn RIGHT on 32nd AVE. You will run past  few car dealerships and at the end of 32nd Ave is the Burger King on your left and a Hardees on your right. Cross the SOUTH EXPRESSWAY now running on the road in front of Menard's. Loop around the same we came out - past Sam's Club, Target and to where your cars will be parked.


A group of us use to run around Lake Manawa while training for 1/2 and full marathons. It is a nice flat course, a cool area because of the lake and never traffic. Just be sure you are with someone or see one of us from the RUN CLUB ahead of you.

As always, I will arrive by 5am. There are some leaving at 5am to walk/jog the 9 mile course if anyone wants to join them.

We will take off around 5:25am. If there is any confusion about the route, street names, where to turn etc be sure to arrive by 5:20 so I can explain. It's going to be a beautiful morning so I 'd like to encourage you all to take advantage of the 9 mile flat route. Slowing your pace about 3 minutes below your 5k pace and adding in walking breaks as needed will allow you to conquer the higher mile route and feel great post workout.

If any questions, please send me a text. I can be reached at 712-309-2225.

See you all in morning


KEEP RUNNING!!!

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

PROTEIN

Protein...the magic ingredient Eating clean is one of the first steps in helping you achieve your goal whether it is weight loss or to increase & maintain lean tissue, protein needs to be consumed at every meal or with every snack. Protein is the number one requirement to building lean muscle mass and it is the number one requirement to repair and rebuild muscle and tissue. Before focusing too much on how much protein you need with fancy calculations, it is more important to know that the average body cannot absorb any more than 25 grams of protein at a given meal. However, protein is not well absorbed unless it is consumed with complex carbohydrates from whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Here is some idea of what 25 grams of protein looks like... Egg whites 5-7 whites Low-fat yogurt 2 cups Low-fat cottage cheese 1 cup Whey protein powder 1 ounce Soy protein powder 1 ounce Skinless Turkey breast 4 ounces Skinl
