With the publication of this issue, we really hope that Summer is gone!
This has been the toughest summer in memory and it has not helped marathon training or just plain running
at all. The Coach's Corner column will talk about training for a Fall Marathon. I especially recommend Toby's excellent video
near the end of his column on race day preparation.
FootNotes chronicles a plethora of weddings and babies, Healthy Eating gives a couple of simple but nutritious
recipes especially for beginner cooks,
and Advice from Papa Bear remains topical.
Lastly, Emily Snyder, Member-at-Large, takes her turn as the voice of the executive board. By year's end we hope
to hear from every member of the board.
A look at Central Park as a preserver of the history of New
York City, going back the War of Independence. The park holds and preserves bits and pieces of history, often hidden
from the casual observer.
In this issue we move way beyond Central Park. And I mean way, way beyond.
Susan Snyder, just back from a road trip to the Continental Divide in the Rockies, tells of the serene silence of running in the Moab desert
lands of Utah,
and Melissa Chase recounts her trek though the villages and mountains of Nepal, to which she traveled in June.
In this section, we learn a little bit more about some of our members. In this issue
we feature Diederik "DJ" van Hoogstraten, a new Flyer from Holland, who has become a phenom on the roads and has earned the moniker
"The Running Dutchman".
