December
2007 Archives
The Rocks!! ran their
very last Santa Hat Run from the Cambrian Fitness
Centre on Saturday December 22 as the Facility will
be closing its doors for good on December 31st.
Our Santa Runs have been going on for a few years
and were always well attended. The runs were fun
and the food was even better afterward. Don't worry
too much about the loss of Cambrian. The Santa Hat
Run will live on. The location is yet to be revealed.
Keep tuned next year.

Everyone
is invited to join the Sudbury Rocks!! Running Club
for our Annual Santa Hat Run. The event is an informal
celebration of the season where members, friends
and enthusiasts get together for a casual run through
Sudbury neighbourhoods. We do
have a new location. The Club's official
meeting place for runs is now at Laurentian University's
new Fieldhouse. For our Santa Hat Run we will meet
in the lobby of the Ben Avery Building beside the
new Fieldhouse at 9:00 am and after the official
Santa Hat photo, the group will take to the streets
for runs of about 1/2 hour to 90 minutes (nothing
longer today please). Coffee and sweets will be
served in the Ken Bahnuk Lounge after the group
have returned. All runners are welcome. Don't forget
to bring your Santa hats or toques. Coffee is supplied
by Lise and Vince. Treats are welcomed.

 Marathon
of Hope 2009: Calling all runners!
From Michelle MacMillan & Lara Chatterjee,
Marathon of Hope 2009
Greetings Canadian Athletes,
Are you a passionate athlete who draws inspiration from
Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope?
At CBC Television, we are presently creating a program which
would illustrate in detail what Terry accomplished in 1980.
The event will reacquaint new and existing generations with
Terry's example of athleticism, determination and self-sacrifice.
To learn more about Terry's inspiring journey, please visit
http://www.terryfoxrun.org/
A team of twelve runners will start the marathon in St.
John's, NFLD on April 12th. Each participant will attempt
to run 3,339 miles in 143 days - matching Terry's daily
mileage - arriving in Thunder Bay, ON on Labour Day weekend.
Our camera crews will document the journey from the first
day of training through to the end of the run, providing
viewers with updates on the participants and their fundraising
efforts.
Our first episode, to air in April on CBC, will see the
introduction of the participants and the stakes set for
the run. Terry's enduring and building legacy will be highlighted.
We are working in conjunction with the Terry Fox Foundation,
who in the past have declined proposals where the intent
is to symbolically or literally finish the Marathon of Hope.
This concept does not infringe on that wish.
If you are interested in participating
in, or supporting, this initiative -- we want to hear from
you. We welcome any questions at any time along the way.
Vince's
Note: One of our members has already applied to run from
St. John's to Thunder Bay.
Good luck!
I
hope you are successful in gaining entry.
An ideal candidate would possess the following:
1) They have been inspired by Terry's story and have a history
of supporting Terry's vision and principles
2) They have the ability and willingness to fundraise
3) They believe and offer evidence that they are capable
of physically attempting the run
4) They are willing and able to put aside work/other commitments
for 4 and a half months to document their personal journey.
Do you have what it takes to go the distance?
If you would like to participate as a runner in this historic
event, please reply to marathonofhope2009@gmail.com
, sending us your contact information and telling us why
you are the ideal candidate for the show.
In addition, we ask that you please create a 3-5 minute

in the Marathon of Hope 2009. Please upload your video to
YouTube.

Run
Club Update |
Hi Everyone!
How is everybody surviving this weather? I hope no
one has placed any bets on what will happen tomorrow!
Just remember, when the temperature begins to drop,
it's even more important to breath through your nose.
While it is not possible to freeze your lungs, nose-breathing
will humidify and warm all that incoming air. This
will help you avoid annoying symptoms such as a dry
throat, post workout coughing or shortness of breath.
If you find nose-breathing difficult, consider wearing
a bandana over your nose and mouth.
Just in time for the holiday season, we have a bunch
of very impressive new shoes for both men and women:
Asics GT-2140
The same old awesome fit and feel, now with an upgraded
midsole for a softer ride
Mizuno Wave Creation 10
Sock-like fit, with Mizuno's top of the line cushioning
and trademark smooth ride
Mizuno Wave Rider 12
Don't miss out on Runner's World Editor's Choice shoe!
Much softer than last year's, with a biodegradable
midsole
Mizuno Wave Inspire 5
Perfect mix of moderate stability and cushioning,
now with Dynamotion fit.
Saucony Progrid Triumph 6
The same great fit as last year's, with upgraded cushioning
and flexibility
Saucony Progrid Stabil CS
A super smooth feel, with a unique full length dual
density that makes this Motion Control shoe feel more
like a cushioning shoe
