2 HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR SEPTEMBER MEETING Our new meeting location, Rascal's Restaurant, Lounge and Comedy Club in West Orange, was very well received. Thanks to Richard Collabeli for making the appropriate arrangements, Rascal's should serve as a wonderful, centrally located and private meeting facility for our ever growing running club. Our Speaker: Ken Manley, used to run, but reached a plateau and took up the new challenge of bicycling. He compared bicycling with running in that it gives the equivalent aerobic benefits without placing as much stress on the knees, ankles and hips. Bicycling, whether on the roads or on a stationary bike is a great cardivascular workout and is used by many top runners to maintain cardiovascular fitness during planned running rest periods or injury. For those impossible winter days where running outside seems like a chore, getting on a stationary bike is a great alternative. Ken also pointed out the overall benefits of bicycling on the upper body musculature which he supplements by lifting weights. Done properly, a bicycle program can benefit any runners level of fitness EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Nominations were presented for consideration and election at the next monthly meeting and they were: Larry Hollander Karen Mishler Norman Kail en John DeHart Gary Peters Jill Booth ] Joe Scyzrek] Vivian Holzer ] Charile Lorber] Milt Westrich Peg O'Dwyer President Vice President Treasurer Membershi p Secretary Entertai nment Program Member-At-Large Member-At-Large The leadership of the Essex Running Club is an important responsibility.

A big thank you to everyone who pitched in and helped out in so many ways on race day. Our Club was highly visible that day and we got much favorable publicity. Local runners now know who we are. Craig Van Doren, the race director, and Bill Mishler, the other ERC members of the race committee, deserve credit and thanks for working on the race with the Jaycees since the beginning of the year. Even without the race, Craig would have had a hectic year -- buying a new home and moving a month before race day, but he somehow never missed a beat.

7 PRESIDENT'S CORNER... Five hundred and twenty (520) runners competed and all proceeds went to the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation. T-shirts will be given away to all ERC members who helped out and a $100,00 donation was given to ERC for its support by the Verona Jaycees.
