Join Benny and some of the soundRUNNER crew, on Sunday mornings at 7:00 a.m. at the soundRUNNER Old Saybrook location, for BENNY’S SUNDAY MYSTERY MILES.
BENNY'S SUNDAY MYSTERY MILES
The following is a message from Benny:
mystery miles fun run on Sunday mornings. emphasis is on fun and no expectations for anything but a moving tan (hopefully…wear sunscreen). start at soundrunner at 7 a.m. with options to run around (individually) at OS point for a 4 miler, at maple avenue for a 6.5ish miler, old boston post rd for an 8.5ish miler or sticking to the end for a ? miler(at least 2 to 4 extra miles). water at the point, at knollwood and at the town beach. pace is slow and steady (conversational) with emphasis on enjoying the morning while getting in a good (or great) run. hope to see more people this week. benny

On Saturday, May 8 Mizuno will bring their mobile running tech lab to Old Saybrook. This lab is designed to provide expert analysis and recommendation for runners of all skill levels.
This lab features a grand scale technical van which will house two of Mizuno’s state-of-the-art “Precision Fit” terminals. There, consumers are provided an innovative and thorough biomechanical analysis of their foot type and running needs. The “Precision Fit” procedure determines which type of running shoe best suits the runner’s foot type, running style, and running goals. Runners are also given a chance to “test ride” footwear that have been suggested for their biomechanics. All participants in the “Run With Us” program will receive a free Mizuno Dryscience™ T-Shirt.
“The Run With Us promotion is a unique and exciting way for runners who may or may not have experienced the Mizuno brand, to do just that,” said Mizuno USA’s Dave Lambert, Vice President of Sales for the Running Division. “We firmly believe that the comfort, quality, and performance of our running shoes and apparel are second to none, and this is a great way for runners to experience it for themselves.”
Any questions contact Julie 203.483.8222 or 860.388.3800.

To do anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift
soundRUNNER along with the Branford Parks and Recreation Department will offer a running program for intermediate school age student athletes. To register, go to www.branford-ct.gov.
Date: Monday, Wednesday and Friday, July 5 – August 13
Time: 9:00 -11:00 a.m.
WHERE: Walsh Intermediate School
WHO: Open to all students in grades 5-8 that are interested in running.
EQUIPMENT: The student must come to class with an appropriate pair of running shoes and loose, comfortable clothing. If you have questions about appropriate footwear please ask any staff member at soundRUNNER.
GOAL: HAVE FUN!
COST: $100.00
The soundRUNNER Youth Running Program is an introduction into running. This program will help young athletes become aware of the importance of running in sport. An experienced and USATF certified coach will guide the three times weekly sessions through a series of games, runs, and activities designed to improve fitness. Additionally, running is a great way to implement setting and achieving goals. These practices will also incorporate drills and exercises to improve posture and running efficiency. There will be an opportunity to run in trails as well.
soundRUNNER has a comprehensive program that will familiarize your child with running trails and track, and also offer them information about nutrition, health, and proper shoe fit, and core stability.
I will post the link for the summer brochure for the Branford Parks and Rec when it becomes available.

This morning at 9:30 in our soundRUNNER Branford we were fortunate to have Meg come in a help us kick-off Heart Health Month at soundRUNNER. We provide these kinds of talks because it’s a great way to get information…and it’s free.
On the edge of their seats
As active individuals it is important that we pay attention to what we eat, duh! I know there are a lot of people that drink “sustain,” take GU, or shotblocks…which is fine during and after your run. But what are foods that you can eat during the week that can enhance the “long run” on the weekend. What foods should you eat to help repair your muscles after the track workout?
Meg will be in our Madison, soundRUNNER location at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, February 20…after our run. If you missed her in Branford come to Madison…if you came to Branford and have some other questions…come to Madison.
Some stayed to get their picture with Meg
THANKS MEG, YOU WERE GREAT
LOOKING FORWARD TO 2.20.10 IN MADISON
MegRD doing her thing

Welcome to the Home Page for the Leprechaun 5-Miler, a fun St. Patrick’s Day race tradition!!!
We’re building off of a successful race last year and are hoping you can help us grow it even bigger this year! All proceeds from the race go towards the Exchange clubs pioneering work in the prevention of child abuse along with all of the other Community Service work the Madison Exchange Club engages in. The race tracks Madison’s picturesque shoreline on Middle Beach Road for one of the flattest and fastest 5-Milers around. Not up for 5 Miles? Try our 2 mile fitness walk along some of the same famous coastline. Got kids? Get them started on a lifelong path of healthy activities by getting them away from the TV and outside for an exhilirating race with their friends with our 1/2 mile Kids Fun run!
PARTY AFTER THE RACE!!!
What would a St. Patrick’s Day Race be with a ‘spirit-filled’ celebration of the holiday! If you’re of age, please join us for a beer after the race courtesy of one of our long time sponsors. Your soul will also be warmed by some local clam chowder donated by another one of our long time sponsors, Lenny & Joe’s. We’re excited for another great race this year and look forward to seeing you there!!!
Want to become more involved?
Sponsors: The people who run and walk in the Leprechaun 5-Miler are a great group of people to reach out to. Contact our Race Director, Jonathan Snyder for opportunities to enhance your business.
Teams: Want to band together as a group and go above and beyond the call of duty for either work or school? Help us raise additional dollars to help prevent child abuse by getting people to sponsor your team! Check back here or contact our Race Director for details.
Volunteers: Want to help out but can’t run or walk on race day? We have many volunteer opportunities both before and during the race day and we’d appreciate your involvement. Check back here or contact our Race Director for details…jonathan.e.snyder@yahoo.com
