Last Leg Of Heart & Sole Cup This Sunday

Three 5k runs make up the Meridian Health Heart & Sole Cup, and the third and final leg of the series for this season is Sunday at Jersey Shore University Medical Center.

I will be running in the race, and it's meaningful to me since it will mean I will be able to complete the series this year, less than a year after my heart attack. The last two 5k's were fun and challenging, and I'm not going to say this will be my best race of the year, but the important thing for me is to get out there and do it.

This run is part of the annual Community Day at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, which is always a great day for the whole family. In addition to the 5k run, the day will feature  interactive children’s health fair, kids’ races (ages 3 to 12), complimentary lunch catered by Branches, an inflatable play area, face painting, trackless train rides, music and entertainment. Valuable health information and free screenings including blood pressure, BMI, cholesterol, stroke and bone density will also be available
