Hello Delco RRC |
Have something interesting to add to the email? Forward it to me at info@delcorrc.com. Thanks to those that always give me support.
"I run because it's my passion, and not just a sport. Every time I walk out the door, I know why I'm going where I'm going and I'm already focused on that special place where I find my peace and solitude. Running, to me, is more than just a physical exercise... it's a consistent reward for victory!."
Sasha Azevedo, Model and Runner
With this quote in mind: Come join us at one of our many Fun Runs. Find your peace and solitude amongst your many new friends. |

Beat the Heat at the Running Place |
The 2010 summer season was a hot one to say the least and June is shaping up to be a brutal one. The hot weather places a significant amount of stress on the endurance athletes training, both physically and mentally. Come join owner of ETA Coach Jason Kilderry on June 21st at 7pm at The Running Place as he discuss the optimal training and nutritional practices to beat the heat this 2011 season.
Please RSVP to ensure there is adequate space - therunningplace@gmail.com |

Maple Roasted Sweet Potatoes
2 pounds small sweet potatoes (about 5), peeled and cut lengthwise into 1-inch wedges
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Sea salt and freshly grated nutmeg, to taste, for serving
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the sweet potatoes on a large, foil-lined rimmed baking sheet with the oil; season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Roast the potatoes for 20 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and toss the potatoes with the syrup.
