De-slacking in progress
Slaptear you live pretty close to my place. I think i'm going to try and hit some 5k's over New Philly Dover area next year do you know of any?
started running @ age 48 [lost 70#+, quit a 30 year pack/day habit>> ran HM] Ran a few years then quit. Gained 70#+ back and smoking like before. Time to get healthy again @ 52 years over with the C25K program and beyond again. RE-start date 1-13-14
I run races mostly in Stark county- they have what is called the challenger series sponsored mainly by Subway. http://www.ohiochallengeseries.com/ I know Tusc county has a loosely organized running series also. http://tvcrun.com/schedule.cfm Currently I am in training to run the Union Hospital(Dover/New Philly) Half Marathon which is on April 19, 2009. This race is part of the challenger series. In our areas from Cleveland down to New Philly and over to Wooster and east clear to Youngstown there are 1000's of races starting in April through Thanksgiving. Ohio seems to have alot of races to offer.

Cold weather running is the best.! I just had to pry myself our of the house as I'm in the middle of the ice storm aftermath and it's really cold out -15 degrees or so. The first quarter mile I bargained with myself about just doing a mile or two, but after the first mile I'd warmed up and it was just beautiful out, so I did the planned 3 miles. You just have to watch your step for icy patches and get out the door.
