Brooklyn Half Marathon- This Saturday! 4/14/07
The Brooklyn Half Marathon kicks off this Saturday at 8 AM down in Coney Island. This is an annual New York Road Runner's event that "runs" along the border of Victorian Flatbush. A couple of notes on the event:
- If you are interested in walking or running the 13.1 mile event registration is open through Wednesday, April 11th. You can register electronically at NYRRC.org. Come out and support this Brooklyn event and represent the neighborhood.
- Traffic can be a challenge during this event. Ocean Parkway traffic is limited to the to the North and South bound service roads. Traveling across Ocean Parkway from Coney Island up through Prospect Expressway is prohibited between 8 AM and 11AM. All traffic is diverted to Ocean Ave. and Flatbush Ave. on the Victorian Flatbush side of Ocean Parkway. I would personally reccomend using the Q train during the race if you need to leave the neighborhood.
- Jorin Reddish, from Mary Kay Gallagher Real Estate, will be running in the race for the first time since 2004. He completed the race in 2:02:22 the last time he ran the race. He would like to think that he can beat that time this time around. Hopefully the forecast will hold up for this weekend. They are forecasting a mostly cloudy day with temperatures in the low 50's. Ideal running weather.

Free Workshop at Midwood Martial Arts
SINUS RELIEF - THE NATURAL WAY
Learn to treat sinus problems using acupressure instead of
medication. Acupressure is the application of gentle finger
pressure on specific points of the body. This technique is simple
enough for parents to use on children and sophisticated enough for
the professional. It is extremely effective for all ages and completely safe.
Come prepared for an enjoyable hands-on workshop.
Depending on time and interest, techniques to drain the ears,
relieve jaw tension and relax the neck and shoulder area may also be included.
SUNDAY, MARCH 18TH FROM 2-4 PM
Workshop is led by Elizabeth D. Poole, NYS licensed Massage
Therapist. She specializes in Jin Shin Do(r) Bodymind(tm) Acupressure and
Craniosacral Therapy. She has extensive experience with infants,
children and adults as well as in hospital-based work with the severely ill.
