Hoping to kick off your week on a good note. Chec

Hoping to kick off your week on a good note. Check out this incredible story by one of our ambassadors, Holly. Holly is a new mom tackling the Mercy Health Glass City Marathon with help from her little man, Brooks.

I was inspired to tackle this distance because of my son, Brooks (yes named after the shoe company LOL).

Brooks had to have open heart surgery at 5 weeks old back in August. At that point we'd already been re-hospitalized once due to failure to thrive. His heart defect was causing his heart and lungs to work in overdrive so he was essentially burning more calories just from existing than he could take in. His surgeon said his body is experiencing what people experience running a marathon but he is feeling it 24/7. Long story short, he went into surgery 5 months earlier than anticipated because he was struggling significantly. Our goal for him was to get through surgery, recover, and be a healthy baby. We wanted him to just be able to "run happy" when he's older (and man is he an active little guy!). The surgery went great but recovery was incredibly tough. Our expected 6 days in the hospital turned into 16 days and involved a lot of complications. Fortunately he is doing amazing now but we've all had to overcome a lot to get this place.

Running has always been a source of comfort and stress relief for me. It was very challenging being in the early postpartum days, facing this level of stress and fear, and not being able to run. But I remained patient and waited until about 10-12 weeks to start (VERY GRADUALLY) reintroducing running into my life. As I was tolerating it well, I decided that if Brooks could "run a marathon" for his first 5 weeks of life, I could do it for a day 🙂 Brooks trains with me on many of my runs. We even did a 10 mile run together!

Safely Return to Running Postpartum
Mercy Health Tip
March 8, 2023

Returning to running after giving birth is a process. Whether training for the Mercy Health Glass City Marathon or recreational running, it has many benefits including physical fitness, improved mental health and the opportunity for socialization – all very important things for a new mom.

But how soon is too soon to get back to running after giving birth? and how do new mothers get back to running safely?

We know that pregnancy and childbirth cause dramatic changes in women’s bodies that can complicate the ability to return to high-impact exercises like running without risking injury. Among the potential changes are weakening of the pelvic floor muscles which can lead to problems like...Read article: https://glasscitymarathon.org/safely-return-to-running-postpartum-mercy-health-tip-march-8-2023/

Which Race Should You Sign Up For
Mercy Health Tip
March 1, 2023

It’s that time of year when new runners start training for their first 5K and more experienced runners consider longer, more challenging races to test skills and endurance. Some runners may also be questioning which distance is right for them. Below are some guidelines to help you decide if you’re ready to lace up for a 5K, half marathon or full marathon.

Training for a 5K race — 5K or 3.1 miles is a great distance for a runner that is new to the sport. This is a manageable distance for people of all fitness levels. This distance allows you to begin training using a run/walk program if you are just starting your fitness journey. In 6 weeks of 3 days per week of training, you can be ready for your race...Read article: https://glasscitymarathon.org/training-for-a-5k-to-full-marathon-which-race-should-i-sign-up-for-mercy-health-tips-march-1-2023/

The mission of the Family and Child Abuse Prevention Center is to intervene and educate to reduce family violence.

The Family and Child Abuse Prevention Center was founded in 1974 by local pediatrician, Dr. Bernard Cullen, and a small group of concerned citizens, who saw first hand the devastating effects of child abuse. While child protection and law enforcement agencies have a crucial role in child protection, our founders had the foresight to see the need for additional community partners. From the compassion, dedication, and vision of this small group of people, an organization has evolved with dedicated professionals who diligently work to break the cycle of family violence. With offices in Lucas and Ottawa counties, Family and Child Abuse Prevention Center serves over 50,000 people each year.

The individuals with disabilities & families that CCS serves were some of the most affected during the pandemic. Isolation caused anxiety for our regular campers & the pause of camp eliminated the respite their caretakers would typically receive.
We know each summer’s camp program allows us to connect and is essential to the well-being of our community members.

"...It was so much fun racing the full Glass City Marathon this year! My brother motivated me to run this race as we both wanted to qualify for Boston. What a fun, flat, and fast course. Highly recommend this race, the Toledo running community is amazing!"

How Runners Can Put Less Pressure on Joints and Mu

How Runners Can Put Less Pressure on Joints and Muscles
by Mercy Health — February 1, 2023

If you’re looking to log a faster mile or perfect your running form, we may be able to help. Mercy Health has Anti-Gravity treadmills available to help runners meet fitness goals and recover better from injuries.

With Alter G, patients with a variety of conditions can run and walk without bearing their entire weight. This reduces the impact on their bodies so they can rehab better, train smarter, and exercise safely.

The Alter G features an inflatable air chamber. The air chamber surrounds the user’s lower body and gently lifts the runner off the treadmill to achieve a body weight that is 20 to 99% of the user’s actual weight. This helps lower the impact on muscles and joints.

In other words, if you weigh 200 pounds and use the Alter G at the 20% setting, you can run as if — Read the full article: https://glasscitymarathon.org/how-runners-can-put-less-pressure-on-joints-and-muscles-mercy-health-tips-february-1-2023/

Sharing a little #tbt for you today as we look back on the first Glass City Marathon in 1971.

Of the 175 starters at Glass City Marathon’s first running in 1971, 4 were women. Of the 106 finishers, only 1 was a woman. Kathrine Switzer, is “the” Marathon Woman. Kathy Miller, as she went by in 1971, came into the race ranked as one of the top four female marathon runners Internationally. Her time of 3:47:09 was good enough to finish in 50th place overall, and the first ever Glass City Marathon women’s winner.
