Michigan Runner Race Series Kicks Off with TWo March Races
==========================================================
2010's Michigan Runner Race Series begins a new season with the St. Patrick's Corktown Race in Detroit. This race had been a 4 mile since its beginning in 1982, but this year the race features a new distance-- a standard 5K in addition to Kids' Runs. Another change is bright green tech shirts from Leslie Jordan. Always competitive, expect the race series to raise the bar even higher.
Sunday, March 14, http://www.corktownrace.com

The Kent City Ridge Run 15K in West Michigan is a new addition to the race series and comes highly recommended by many of Michigan's elite runners. The 15K rolling course is known as Jill's Hills, but does feature a downhill finish. A 5K out and back also finishes downhill. Race Director Jill Evers says the race is offering tech shirts for the first time this year. The Kent City Ridge Run is the first of three races in the M37 Showdown Series.

Gary Morgan Reports From Doha, Qatar
====================================
The 2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships begin Friday in Doha, Qatar and our world traveler, Gary Morgan is already on the scene:

"We get a tour of the city from our attaches. They tell us that most of the buildings in the city are less than three years old. The biggest development is called Pearl City-- a man made Island in the Persian gulf. We go to the old town market called the Souk. Lots of middle eastern wares are for sale and it's a fun place to see. In the afternoon we go see the indoor facility called the Aspire Dome and surrounding athletic facilities. It is an impressive 200 meter track that has hydraulic curves that come into place when the meet starts. This is a complete athletic complex with a pool, practice track, running trails around soccer fields and a park. Then there's the Kalifa Stadium and 300 foot torch that was used for the 2006 Asian Games. Plus there's a huge mall that has an amusement park in it-- not bad for a desert oasis.
Team USA has a great group of athletes here including Desiree Daliva from the Hansons group and she's running the 3000. The meet starts on Friday March 12Th and finishes march 15. This is my first time being at the World Indoor Championships and I'm one of the event managers for USATF. You can check out the team on http://www.usatf.org and find all about the meet on http://www.iaaf.org. I'll send warm weather that is here in Qatar back to Michigan."

E2 Eating & Exercise for Optimal Fitness:
Dining Out: Are Your Choices Healthy?
================================================================
According to Restaurant and Institutions (R&I) 2010 New American Diner Study, 46% of consumers said they are making more healthful choices when dining out. It’s good news too, since this same study says American’s average 25% of their meals away from home, or 46% of their food dollar. That’s a huge investment of a family’s budget, and the reality of the situation is diner’s actual selections are not all that great, yet!

· Fried vegetables represent 46% of total vegetable consumption among children ages 2-18 (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey/The Ohio State University)

· 50% of grains or 3 in 6 servings should be whole grains. Americans average 1 serving daily. (Dr. Walter Willett, chairman, Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health)

· The recommended maximum daily sodium consumption for healthy adults who aren’t at risk for high blood pressure is 2300 milligrams. The average American male consumes 3,100 to 4,700 milligrams and the average female consumes 2,300 to 3,100 milligrams daily. (University of Colorado Extension)

· One free 20 ounce beverage refill brings your total beverage contribution to 480 calories and 30 teaspoons of sugar. That’s almost 25% of your caloric requirements in a single beverage from one meal alone, and way beyond the 6 teaspoon sugar limit per day for women and 9 teaspoons for men.

It can be a challenge to eat healthy when eating out, so arm yourself with knowledge if you are in the 25% crowd who eat out regularly. 59% of those participating in the R&I 2010 New American Diner Study said they would be interested in seeing calorie counts posted on in-store menus and menu boards. Would more information make you think twice about your selections?
