<strong>Cape</strong> <strong>Cod</strong> <strong>Athletic</strong> <strong>Club</strong> - July/Oct 2007<br />
The CCAC promotes running and multisport activities in the <strong>Cape</strong> <strong>Cod</strong> area by organizing many major road races each year,<br />
from one milers to marathons. Proceeds from the races are donated to charities, scholarships, and athletic programs in the local<br />
community. The club holds numerous fun runs, including the popular winter Grand Prix series. Members offer each other encouragement<br />
during group training workouts. Many club members help conduct youth running programs and coach track and<br />
cross-country at local high schools.<br />
Formed in 1976, the club now has over 250 members. The CCAC is a non-profit organization, governed by an unpaid Board<br />
of Directors and elected officers. <strong>Club</strong> meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month (except summer) at 7:00 PM.<br />
Race result compilation for the newsletter is never 100% accurate. The staff does its best to include all member’s results but if<br />
we miss you, let us know and we’ll toss it into the next issue.<br />

Quick Tip<br />
Running on different terrain changes the stresses that you<br />
normally put your muscles through from day to day and will<br />
ultimately make you a stronger and more efficient runner.<br />
But as weather conditions change, sometimes we forget that<br />
a wet or snowy, slushy, icy road isn’t the same terrain today<br />
that it was when it was dry yesterday. Treat winter running<br />
just like trail running. Opt for a more stable shoe when<br />
choosing what to wear for the day, with studs or Yak Trax<br />
if necessary, and if the conditions are going to last, be sure<br />
to sprinkle in a little flat, dry running into your routine like<br />
a few miles on the treadmill. If you hibernate on your<br />
treadmill for the winter, be sure to get outside for at least a<br />
few runs. You might find yourself racing in these conditions<br />
someday and now’s the time to get used to them.<br />
Plus, all that straight ahead treadmill running makes your<br />
muscles ripe pickings for your next overuse injury. ,<br />
