A note from Coach Bill Leach:

A HUGE THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS to our PEAK, GAIT and SPEED TRAINING runners  for  your  extraordinary achievements in 2006:

THANK YOU – let’s have more FUN, CAMARADERIE and REWARDING RUNNING in 2007!

 


Nutrition and Health Tips – an archived pearl of nutritional wisdom from David W. Grotto, RD, LD, CLL

Doctor James Hill from the University of Colorado found a common trait in successful losers – they ate breakfast.  In his national registry of those who have kept weight off the longest, eating a good breakfast, especially if it contained whole grain cereal, was found to benefit long term weight management.  So wear that ‘L’ on your forehead with pride and start your day off right with a good breakfast!
