\"\"<\/a>

Henry Ford Martian Marathon Runners made the front page of the Press and Guide Newspaper!! Wow!!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Teachers who came to help and cheer on the Henry Ford Runners!\u00a0 Thank you!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I ran the 5K (3.1 miles) at 8 am, before the students ran their race at noon!<\/p><\/div>\n

What a beautiful day it was!\u00a0 This past Saturday was Martian Marathon Saturday!\u00a0 The sun was out, the air was a bit cool, but that didn’t bother the 34 Henry Ford Runners that lined up at the start line for the Martian Marathon 1.2 mile run at Ford Field Park in Dearborn!\u00a0 They ran on the grass, up the BIG hill, across the top, down the BIG hill, into the woods, out of the woods and sprinted to the finish line!!!\u00a0 Friends and families cheered them on!!!\u00a0 In all, counting the miles they ran in running club, the runners ran a full Marathon – that’s 26.2 miles!!!! Great going runners!!!\u00a0 If you see any student with a black t-shirt with flying saucers on it, you’ll know they ran the race!!!<\/p>\n

A BIG THANK YOU<\/strong> goes to Mrs. Spencer and Mrs. McCormick for all of their help on race day.\u00a0 They checked in runners and made sure they were ready to run.\u00a0 Also, THANKS to Mrs. Hammoud, Mrs. Fawaz and Mrs. Shupe for cheering on all of the runners!!!<\/p>\n

Healthy Tidbit:\u00a0 <\/strong>Because of the race, running and sweating, I thought I’d talk a little bit about hydration.\u00a0 The best thing you can drink after a sweaty activity is……………….WATER – you guessed it!\u00a0 The second best thing you can drink after a sweaty activity is………………….milk – white\u00a0 or chocolate.\u00a0 Both of these drinks provide hydration for the average athlete. Instead of a gatorade or other sports drink, the average athlete should refuel with water or milk and a variety of foods that contain carbohydrates, protein, and vitamins and minerals.\u00a0 For example, eat a whole-wheat bagel or toast with peanut butter or a banana with peanut butter.<\/p>\n
