| Are
You Up for a Relay?
| On May 30-31, 2008
Westover Treatment Centre is pleased be hosting the second
annual Westover Shore to Shore 300 KM Relay, the first relay
of its kind in Ontario. We had 58 teams (608 participants)
last year. We expect over 100 teams in 2008.
The event begins in Port Stanley
on Lake Erie and ends in Grand Bend on Lake Huron. Teams
of 6-12 are invited to register for one of three relays.
The 36 Leg Running Relay begins on Friday morning in Port
Stanley. The 22 Leg Walking Relay is 175 KM beginning at
Stage Two in Thamesville. The 8 Leg Recreational Walking
Relay is 60 KM and starts at Stage Four in Sarnia. Everyone
finishes Saturday afternoon with a large beach party in
Grand Bend.
Feedback from participants last year
taught us that teams need to plan well in advance. Many
of you are now finishing your preparation for a fall 10
K, half or full marathon. Soon you will be planning for
the spring. We expect the Shore to Shore will again be one
of the most unique and exciting running/walking events in
Ontario next spring and we would be very pleased to have
your club represented by a team or two. For all of the details,
results, photo gallery, runner's forum and registration,
please visit www.shoretoshorerelay.com.
The event is a fundraiser for Westover
Treatment Centre, a residential treatment facility for drug
and alcohol addiction. Our 33-Bed facility (Stage Two on
the course) is funded 75% by the Provincial Ministry of
Health. The rest we raise on our own. To learn more about
us, please visit www.westover-fdn.org. We want every runner
and walker in the province to be aware of this unique opportunity.
They may even take advantage of the early race fee available
until October 31.
Thanks very much and don’t
hesitate to email our Director of Communications, Chris
Veillon, if you have any questions. You will find his coordinates
on the "contact us" page of the website.

from Vince:
I would be willing to assist anyone interested
in accepting the responsibility of organizing a Team entry into
Westover. Give a call if you are up to the challenge. The Event
sounds excellent.

Club Update |
Hi Everyone!
So, autumn is officially here! We are all in for some great
upcoming runs, whether you’re racing, or just enjoying
the weather there is great fun to be had by all! And as we all
know, the joy of running is only enhanced by sharing it with
other people as passionate about the sport as you are, so now
is the best time to be joining new clinics or just coming out
on Wednesdays at 6:00pm or Sundays at 8:30am. This is what is
going on at the Running Room right now:
The sidewalk sale is over! We have all enjoyed the opportunity
to indulge ourselves in some great deals, but sadly the sale
merchandise has been cleared out. However, that is not to say
that we don’t have any great deals right now! If you are
registered to receive the Running Room magazine, you will have
noticed there is a 20% offcoupon for all merchandise inside,
except electronics, which are 10% off! So, if you’ve had
your eye on any of our new fall products, you may want to snap
them up before October 30th when the coupon expires!
Tip of the week:
At such a beautiful time of year, it’s the perfect opportunity
to start cross training if you do not already. Try something
new and fun like take a yoga class or look in to cross country
skiing for the winter. Try doing this activity with a friend
as motivation, or by yourself to meet new people. Cross training
is beneficial to a runner. It prevents injuries by strengthening
muscles that you put a lot of strain and pressure on by repeating
the same, pounding motion. YOU NEED A CHANCE TO REPAIR! It can
also be loads of fun, and a great way to help you focus!
This week's product highlight:
The Adidas line is in! We just received lots of fall product
that will help to keep us warm in this cool season! This includes
capris, tights, and climalight shirts and sweaters! They are
all bright and reflective since the days are clearly getting
shorter! We have also received some new Running Room windbreakers
that are perfect for chilly evenings. We still are getting more
fall merchandise in, so keep your ears peeled!

Western International,
Thames Valley Golf Course, London, Ontario
Laurentian's women's cross-country running
team competed at the prestigious Western International competition
this weekend, placing ninth out of the international field
of 16 teams.
Laurentian was led by Elliot Lake's Meghan
Juuti who placed 26th out of 147 runners with a time of
19:19 over the five kilometre course. She was followed by
Kirsti Dolson, 50th in 20:05, rookie Kelly Laing, 60th in
20:33,Maggie Robins, 74th in 20:53 and Stephanie Flieler,
79th in 21:02, Hilary Kilbreath 91st in 21:34 and Celeste
Woods, 100th in 22:40.
"We were 7th among OUA teams," said assistant
coach, Darren Jermyn. "A few teams were missing, but
this shows that we're anywhere from 7th to 9th at this point
in the season. We'll have to move up to sixth at the OUA's
to have a chance to make the CIS championships."
"We definitely have some work to do," said head
coach, Dick Moss. "Losing five of our scorers from
last year has definitely hurt us. That said, Meghan had
a great race, and rookie Kelly Laing ran very well in her
first OUA race. Plus every vet beat last year's time for
the course and that's a good indication of how hard they
trained this summer."
The race was won by Laurentian graduate and Track North
athlete, Leila Angrand, who is competing for Western while
taking her Masters in Occupational Therapy. Leila's time
was 17:52.

Discomfort
Zone News
Discomfort Zone / Trysport Fall Colours
Ride and Pot Luck - Oct 21, 2007
Many of you have expressed interest
in having a social team get together
at the end of the 2007 season. In
particular, Sudbury team members have
been keen to connect with the growing
number of Discomfort Zone athletes
from the Barrie area and elsewhere.
The solution was simple: Host
a Fall Colours Ride and Pot Luck in
Parry Sound!
David Bialkowski of Bialkowski Trysport
has agreed to be our gracious host,
and a number of his local Parry Sound
group will join us for some of the
most enjoyable cycling in Ontario.
Afterward, we all get to stuff our
faces back at David's store/home,
make new friends and training partners,
swap lies about our 2007 season and
fearlessly look ahead to 2008.
The event will be held on Sunday,
October 21, 2007 at 1:00pm (ride)
and 3:00pm (Pot Luck).
Both the ride and Pot Luck will be
held at Bialkowski Trysport, 77 Bowes
St., Parry Sound
Friends, training partners and family
are welcome. Carpooling can be arranged.
RSVP:
Mike Coughlin (705) 919-7162, mike@discomfortzone.com
David Bialkowski (705) 746-8179 david@pstrysport.com
See you there!
