LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear St Paddyrsquos day race staff

Thank you so much for having the run It was very well run and the people working it were fantastic I know because I got to meet a lot of them personally as I was by myself most of the race I hope that this did not cause any problems I did ask if there was a time limit so that I wouldnrsquot cause any issues I am an extremely slow but steady ldquorunnerrdquo at this point I wanted to thank all the staff who took such good care of me I was happily surprised that they stayed to show me the turns on the course I brought my map just in case Most of the water stops were still there when I got to them also I was using a watch so I didnrsquot care about the timers being down but would like to thank you for leaving the mile markers so I could check my progress My apologies to the very nice policeman who had to see so much of my large behind that morning He did a great job especially when it looked like a rottweiler was going to try to get through his electric fence and try to eat me I appreciate being given the chance to finish and get an official time

I had to leave right after I finished due to a work problem and only heard a few minutes of the awards I did hear them mention something about getting a new sponsor I also noticed the beautiful awards Have you considered asking Lenox to sponsor it The awards look very much like the type of work they do (Just a thought)

I was looking up my time on your website and couldnrsquot find it in my age group and was sad that I didnrsquot go fast enough to be on the stats Imagine my surprise when a friend told me that I came in 3rd in my division Thank you for having a ldquoheavyweightsrdquo division As you saw I am not and probably never will be one of the tiny little fast runners I do hope to improve my time and appreciate the opportunity to participate in your run

Thank you again Nanci Place (March 22 2011)

Dear race organizer I enjoyed running your race I have been road running competitively in Middlesex County for the past twenty years Runners appreciate running events with sufficient course marshals water stops and post race refreshments The organizers and sponsors of your race should be commended on the excellent set up I have encouraged other runners to support local running events that raise money for charity and non-profit groups We look forward to running your race again next year I run races almost every weekend and am a member of 6 running clubs I organize the Annual Freezing Cold Hash Run to benefit St James Food Bank every January in Edison I can help your race and distribute your race applications if you will include our Hash Runs flyer in your race packet or at Born to Run Please let me know You can mail me 200-300 applications for your race I will assist you by dropping them off at races throughout central New Jersey I also added St Paddy 5k and Born to Run to the list of community events and running races in our email newsletter we send to 2500 friends clients runners and community leaders Very truly yours Kenneth A Vercammen (3-26-2011)

Picking the Right Lettuce by Linda Hyer

With the warm weather arriving in the near future most of us tend to eat more salads But with all the different types of lettuce available do you know what kind is the

most beneficial Heres a chance to check your knowledge and adjust your eating habits Iceberg - At 96 water iceberg is all crunch and no substance It has only trace amounts of vitamin A and calcium and half the vitamin C of Bibb Bibb - Although it packs almost three times the immunity-boosting vitamin A and twice the C of iceberg this tender leaf is still considered a nutritional lightweight Radicchio - Long on pigment and short on nutrition as its vitamin A content is one-twelfth that of iceberg lettuce Use it to add color and taste Arugula - Similar to romaine this bitter green is rich in vitamin A and vitamin C and has nearly eight times the magnesium Romaine - A great source of folic acid vitamin Acarotenoids and flavonoids which may help ward off cancer and heart disease [-Ed note Linda serves great salads too]

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear St Paddyrsquos day race staff

Thank you so much for having the run It was very well run and the people working it were fantastic I know because I got to meet a lot of them personally as I was by myself most of the race I hope that this did not cause any problems I did ask if there was a time limit so that I wouldnrsquot cause any issues I am an extremely slow but steady ldquorunnerrdquo at this point I wanted to thank all the staff who took such good care of me I was happily surprised that they stayed to show me the turns on the course I brought my map just in case Most of the water stops were still there when I got to them also I was using a watch so I didnrsquot care about the timers being down but would like to thank you for leaving the mile markers so I could check my progress My apologies to the very nice policeman who had to see so much of my large behind that morning He did a great job especially when it looked like a rottweiler was going to try to get through his electric fence and try to eat me I appreciate being given the chance to finish and get an official time

I had to leave right after I finished due to a work problem and only heard a few minutes of the awards I did hear them mention something about getting a new sponsor I also noticed the beautiful awards Have you considered asking Lenox to sponsor it The awards look very much like the type of work they do (Just a thought)

I was looking up my time on your website and couldnrsquot find it in my age group and was sad that I didnrsquot go fast enough to be on the stats Imagine my surprise when a friend told me that I came in 3rd in my division Thank you for having a ldquoheavyweightsrdquo division As you saw I am not and probably never will be one of the tiny little fast runners I do hope to improve my time and appreciate the opportunity to participate in your run

Thank you again Nanci Place (March 22 2011)

Dear race organizer I enjoyed running your race I have been road running competitively in Middlesex County for the past twenty years Runners appreciate running events with sufficient course marshals water stops and post race refreshments The organizers and sponsors of your race should be commended on the excellent set up I have encouraged other runners to support local running events that raise money for charity and non-profit groups We look forward to running your race again next year I run races almost every weekend and am a member of 6 running clubs I organize the Annual Freezing Cold Hash Run to benefit St James Food Bank every January in Edison I can help your race and distribute your race applications if you will include our Hash Runs flyer in your race packet or at Born to Run Please let me know You can mail me 200-300 applications for your race I will assist you by dropping them off at races throughout central New Jersey I also added St Paddy 5k and Born to Run to the list of community events and running races in our email newsletter we send to 2500 friends clients runners and community leaders Very truly yours Kenneth A Vercammen (3-26-2011)

Picking the Right Lettuce by Linda Hyer

With the warm weather arriving in the near future most of us tend to eat more salads But with all the different types of lettuce available do you know what kind is the

most beneficial Heres a chance to check your knowledge and adjust your eating habits Iceberg - At 96 water iceberg is all crunch and no substance It has only trace amounts of vitamin A and calcium and half the vitamin C of Bibb Bibb - Although it packs almost three times the immunity-boosting vitamin A and twice the C of iceberg this tender leaf is still considered a nutritional lightweight Radicchio - Long on pigment and short on nutrition as its vitamin A content is one-twelfth that of iceberg lettuce Use it to add color and taste Arugula - Similar to romaine this bitter green is rich in vitamin A and vitamin C and has nearly eight times the magnesium Romaine - A great source of folic acid vitamin Acarotenoids and flavonoids which may help ward off cancer and heart disease [-Ed note Linda serves great salads too]
