President McKinleyOk, if you have a bill sporting these presidents - McKinley on the $500 or Cleveland on the $1,000 - take it out of your (hopefully) safety deposit box and have it appraised.

If, however, your team or sports club volunteers to host one of the water/aid stations during the Space Coast Marathon and Half-Marathon, you could win $1,000 for first place or $500 for second place.

There will be two separate contests - one for the north end (north of 520) and one for the south end (south of 520)

We are proud to welcome Dr. Richard C. Wil-son to The Starting Line. The Melbourne native and Florida Gator earned his doctorate degree from the Illinois College of Podiatric Medi-cine in Chicago. After completing a surgical residence in Chicago, Dr. Wilson returned to Melbourne where he has been practicing with Melbourne Podiatry Associates for 30 years. The good doctor is passionate about his profes-sion, running – a sport in which he has reveled for more than 45 years – and writing, particu-larly about all things running and foot related.

new at running ZoneThe Saucony Triumph 10 is a plush neutral trainer loaded with features to give you a smooth and responsive and lightweight ride. The redesigned decoupled crash pads in the heel disperse impact upon foot strike, while the PowerGrid midsole provides soft cushioning that protects you from the road mile after mile. A no-overlay, seamless upper keeps your foot wrapped in comfort. The 8mm heel-to-toe drop promotes a more natural stride over shoes with more traditional offsets.

The time change also means it will get dark earlier so all of our free fun runs and walks that had been starting at 6 p.m. will now begin at 5:30 p.m.

Always check the workout calendar on the front of our website at www.runningzone.com if you’re not sure.

Interestingly, however, is the finding that in barefoot running, a “pre-acti-vation” of the foot muscles occurs that reduces impact on the foot.
