Running & FitNews - March/April 2013
The smiling face of one our members in the post-finish line area of the Boston Marathon was indicative of how Monday, April 15th had gone. The weather had cooperated this year. There was no heat and humidity to scare off runners. It was a good day. All that changed at 2:50 pm. Read moving tributes in this issue by Running & FitNews Editor Jeff Venables and Executive Director Dave Watt, who was greeting members at the finish line when the twin bombs exploded. Also included in this issue is a review of a study on the effects of statins on the kidneys, weight training suggestions to improve performance, a variety of injury-related recommendations from sports medicine experts, and more!
