April RUNOHIO E-Newsletter
With the smell of spring flowers and budding trees, April starts the spring/summer racing season. Now that road racing is almost back to normal many athletes will be testing their winter training in an upcoming 5K or 10K. A number of runners will also test their fitness in a spring half marathon or marathon.
My first marathon was the Glass City Marathon which used to be held on Father's Day. As a freshman at Ohio Northern University I entered with a few of my track and cross country teammates. My longest run at the time was 12 miles, but was in shape from cross country and track and finished 20th in 2:51. The following year I ran 2:34ish, then I won on my third try a year later in 2:27:17 and after my senior year I finished second in 2:24:00.
We all have heard of Small Business Saturday - Let’s Start Small Business Spring! If you normally go out to eat at local restaurants/bars or where ever and they are having carry out service continue to spend your money and take the food home. Or perhaps you can buy local restaurant gift cards for yourself and/or give one to one of the many essential workers in our community providing needed services. If we don’t, there may not be as many small businesses to go to later this year on Small Business Saturday.
Whatever we can do to help each other I am sure it would be greatly appreciated.

Challenge Yourself!
By Richard Ferguson
|
We all have our “comfort zones”. We settle into a daily routine that brings stability and organization to our lives. We may eat the same foods on particular days of the week and watch the same shows on television. We may even have running “comfort zones” like running the same course or distance many days in a row, or even running in the same races every year.

The Athlete’s Kitchen - Winning the War Against Snack Attacks
By Nancy Clark
|
Despite the popular belief that snacking is bad, the truth is that snacking can be helpful for runners. Athletes get hungry and need to eat at least every three to four hours. For students and others who train mid- to late-afternoon, a pre-run snack is very important to provide the fuel needed to have an effective workout.
