PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL RUNNING CLUBS!
Without Running club support many local races would not be possible. Although man races may not be involved with organizing the race, area running clubs may help promote, organize or even time events. Clubs dues are relatively cheap. Many clubs issue newsletters, have parties, group runs, get togethers and issue discount cards for some stores who sell running apparel.

HEATHER L. FASSETT IS OFFERING PERSONAL NUTRITION/FITNESS COACH SERVICE- As we all know...what we put into our bodies directly effects our athletic performance! I have worked as a Recreational Therapist for many years and am currently a Nutrition Counselor.  I have decided to combine the experience and knowledge in both fields and become certified as a Personal Nutrition/Fitness Coach.
Potential clients can call (570)335-8779 to set up a  consultation.
During the first consultation I will assess the needs of the client. A personal success plan will then be devised. My goal is to help clients achieve maximum results in athletic performance while maintaining the energy required to lead a balanced life. (Because we are not all athletes for a living) Excellent nutrition, proper rest, time management and mental stregnth are all components.
If there is anyone out there who is in need of a personalized plan contact me at: hlf0473@peoplepc.com.
