SAFETY ALERT!!!

Attention Members! PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ANY VALUABLES AND BE SURE TO REMOVE ANY VISIBLE ITEMS BEFORE YOU LEAVE YOUR CARS! We had an unfortunate incident last Saturday and one of our members’ car was broken into. Fortunately, another member saw what happened, got the tag number, called the police, and was able to later identify the thief who is currently in custody. Even though we have police doing rounds at the park and parking lots, we strongly ask that you do not leave anything in your cars.

Fall Participants: remember to come join us for Weekly Speed Training Sessions at Plantation’s Central Park Meet at the track at 7:00 pm!

IMPORTANT! PARKING AT GEORGE ENGLISH PARK

Reminder! Please do not use the Tennis Parking Spots as they are reserved for the Tennis Players. Alternate parking can be found across the street or by the school area. We are authorized to use those 3 parking lots, just not the Tennis Spots. We appreciate your cooperation.

GIVE YOUR BODY TIME TO RECOVER! RESTING DAYS ARE AS IMPORTANT AS YOUR TRAINING DAYS!"

Are you over training or working hard and intense workouts back to back days? Remember that your training schedule should be a combination of hard days, easier days and resting days! Not all your workouts should be the same, and a rest day between hard workouts is extremely important! You must allow time for your body to recover and restore the microscopic wear and tear your muscles experience during intense workouts. In your rest days, you are actually getting stronger! Lack of rest could lead to injury, while appropriate rest will make you a more powerful athlete! Remember balance.

Attention Members: If you have not registered for the winter events such as ING Miami and A1A, we encourage you to register NOW as prices are about to increase. The following codes will give you $5 Off the Half Marathon and $10 Off the Full.
