I just finished walking the Running on Island Time 5K –<br />
the 1 st race of the ROY Series. What a great season<br />
opener! The race was well organized and truly a family<br />
affair with something for everyone – runners, walkers -<br />
children and adults alike. Race director Deb Wells did a<br />
superb job this year – thanks, Deb!<br />
Big Kudos to Loran Serwin for getting our new website up<br />
and running! If you haven‘t seen it yet, log on to<br />
www.spacecoastrunners.org and be prepared for a surprise!<br />
Loran will be adding to and updating the site periodically.<br />
If you have any club, race, or fun run photos to share, we<br />
would love to post them. For those long time members, we<br />
are seeking SCR history and photos. We also welcome articles<br />
of interest from coaches, health experts, or<br />
experienced runners. If you have information or<br />
suggestions for content, please send them to lserwin@cfl.rr.com.<br />
I am pleased to announce that this season we have had several generous sponsors step up to<br />
help the Club finance our three races, the <strong>Space</strong> <strong>Coast</strong> Classic in November, the Eye of the<br />
Dragon in February, and the <strong>Space</strong> Walk of Fame in April. Thank You to sponsors: Dayne<br />
Deeds of Living Well Chiropractic, Bob Rall of Rall Capital Management, John Davis of<br />
Rapid Automation Design, Don and Denise Piercy of Running Zone and New Balance<br />
Melbourne, Greg Aker of Aker Eye Clinic, Mitch Varnes of Melbourne and Beaches Music<br />
Marathon, Barbara Linton of Avatar Technologies, Paula Steere Sports Massage, and Dick<br />
White Sports Massage. If you see these folks, be sure and thank them for their support of<br />
running in our community! Because of their commitment, and all the runners and walkers that<br />
enter our races, we are able to award 2 college scholarships each year, plus support the Brevard<br />
Special Olympics, <strong>Space</strong> Walk of Fame Museum, area fun runs, and the SCR Youth Series.<br />
One more thing – with a race on the calendar nearly every weekend between now and the end<br />
of the year – that means more chances of overexertion and injury. Be careful out there and listen<br />
to your body. We all want to be able to enjoy our sport for the long haul!<br />
