No. 7 Vol. 5 www.themendhamnews.com May 2015

By Jason CohenWhen a 7.8-magni-tude earthquakerocked the coun-

try of Nepal last month,killing more than 7,800people and causing an ava-lanche on Mount Everest,where it killed at least 19, itwas the deadliest day in thehistory of the mountain.

Mendham Township res-ident Mariusz Malkowskiwas about to make his firstattempt to climb the earth’shighest mountain and wasat the base camp when theearthquake hit on Sat., April25. The base camp was themost affected area.

“I feel lucky to be alive,”

Malkowski, 42, who hasbeen climbing for 25 years,

said he has experiencedearthquakes because heworks for Sigma Wave, abusiness development andtechnical support companyin California, but neveranything like this.

“I knew it was an earth-quake and I knew rightaway it was pretty big,” hesays. “Everything started toshake after 20 or 30 sec-onds. I heard a lot of noiseand what happened nextwas the avalanche.”

'Kosher Lite' Cooking Class


By Cheryl ConwayFrom researcher, to patient to author,Dr. Alice Lazzarini of Mendham hascome a long way since retiring from

her profession ten years ago.Imagine being a pioneer researcher, find-

ing a causative gene for a disease and thenall of a sudden being diagnosed with thatsame disease. Lazzarini was not imaginingthis scenario as she faced this real life cir-cumstance. The 74-year old recently tellsabout her journey in her self-publishedbook- “Both Sides Now.”

Lazzarini is a trained geneticist experi-enced in other hereditary disorders whoplayed a crucial role in 1997 as part of aninternational team with clinical neurologiststhat discovered the first Parkinson’s Diseasecausing mutation. Irony played out in 2004when she was diagnosed with Parkinson’sDisease, a disorder of the central nervoussystem that affects movement and can causetremors.

“I wanted to share my story,” saysLazzarini who took ten years to write her

non-fiction book as she was facing the disor-der, change in lifestyle from full-timeresearcher to retiree and also searching forthe right voice and language to reach a layaudience. Her 213 page soft cover book pub-lished in Aug. 2014 is a “story of a girl whostruggles and overcomes handicaps and hasto reinvent herself.”

Lazzarini started writing her first andonly book ten years ago at the age of 64,shortly after she retired from a pharmaceuti-cal company. Her greatest conflict, besidesfatigue as a symptom from the disease, washer ability to transform her academic voiceto a conversational book.

“I trained in genetic counseling,” shesays, and has written many chapters andjournal articles in the medical field. But hav-ing the ability to write to a lay audience“took some time to develop.” Lazzarini tooksome workshops and attended some writingconferences, and also joined a writer’s groupWomen Who Write, women who meet regu-larly to critique each other’s work.

Ladies from her group would say, ‘Alice,

who’s your audience?’The American Parkinson Disease

Association had issued a public serviceannouncement to help promote Lazzarini inthe launch of her book last year. Lazzarinialso donates 20 percent of proceeds fromsales from her book to the association.

Lazzarini’s mission now is to speak outto Parkinson’s groups about the disease,share her experience and her book.

“We found the first gene that causesParkinson’s,” she explains. “It’s now in theclinic; they are testing it on people. It’s takenall the years for clinical trials with medica-tions and vaccines, targeting he protein thatwe discovered.”

How timely was it for Lazzarini to haveher book completed just as the clinical trialson her research that uncovered the “magicbullet” begun its phase one trial. If all goeswell, phase two, three and four could lead toFDA approval, followed by approaching apharmaceutical company to carry the medi-cines or vaccines.

“Chances are not huge but the fact that

we are on our way is exciting,” saysLazzarini.

These exciting details of discovery por-trayed in “Both Sides Now” are what sepa-

to go up the mountain to promote a homeautomation system that allows users to turnon and off devices via a smartphone whenthey are away, according to reports.

His plan had been to climb the mountainand then control his home once at the top.His objective never reached fruition as theearthquake hit while he was still at the basecamp.

Malkowski was in his tent when heheard it coming and immediately went in aditch and prayed for his life. He thoughtabout his wife Renaca and his seven-yearold son, Alexander, and hoped he wouldsee them again, he explains.

Once the avalanche passed, Malkowski

began to pick up stuff and help people getto safety.

It was one of the scariest times of hislife, he says. In addition to injured people,everyone was wearing shorts and t-shirtsbecause of the high attitude and werescrambling to find clothes, he says.

“We were bringing people to medicaltents, doing triage and making sure thatthey were comfortable,” Malkowski said.“There were some aftershocks and wedecided to get out of there.”

Malkowski, who began climbing whileattending college in Poland, has ascendedmountains in South Asia, South Americaand many other places. He trained exten-sively for six months prior to going to

He was grateful to see his family whenhe returned home to Mendham where hehas lived since September after movingfrom Edison, he says. Malkowski says hemight return to Everest eventually, but notin the near future. Nepal is in bad shape andthe best way to help, is donations, he said.

While his dream of climbing Everest mayhave been delayed, he believes he will stilldo it.

“Nepal is a great country,” he said. “Thepeople are really great. They don’t havemuch to begin with. A tragedy like that willset them back 20 years. They don’t havebig infrastructures there to begin with. Iwill be back there.”

by Michele Guttenberger Entering the 20th Century, men dom-inated the business and financialarena while women fixed or

improved the aliments of their culture andsociety. Women also reigned as thedomestic managers of their household andgave undivided attention to the governanceof the American family. The AmericanMagazine deemed that Edison’s wife Minawas “the custodian of one of the greatestgeniuses the world has ever known”.However, she preferred her own title as“Home Executive”. The last decade of the19th Century rang in modern technologyfor the 21st Century bringing in betterhome living and family life. ThomasEdison inventions saw purpose to thesehome executives commonly referred to asthe devoted housewife or the lady of thehouse. These ultramodern open-mindedwomen entering a new century desiredclean, easier and enjoyable home living.Thomas Edison appreciated a woman’sperspective on modern living. He saw thispopulation as great guiding mentors in his

own life. After all, he was homeschooledby his mother. There were many milestoneevents were Thomas Edison appealed towomen in launching the most innovativetechnology of its day. The very first techtoy was marketed for small girls. TheEdison talking doll was technically thefirst home phonograph when it wasreleased to the public in 1890. It was thefirst home entertainment phonographbecause, each doll housed an internalphonograph containing a six second prere-corded nursery rhyme.

Edison Electric Illuminating Companyof Brooklyn was in operation on Sept. 4,1882. The electric illuminating systemprovided electricity to Pearl Street. It wasnow possible for homes and businesses topurchase electric light at a price that couldcompete with gas. The first advertise-ments on this illuminating technologywere targeted to the lady of the house.Their ads read: A Flood of Light – A sin-gle touch brings a flood of light. Anothertouch dismisses it. Best artificial light everknown. Displays the home and its treas-

ures at their very best. No exposed flameto blacken walls and decorations with sootor vitiate the air – causing ill health, toflare in the wind or be blown out. Pure,steady, clean, cool, sanitary, safe. Can beplaced anywhere- even in clothes closet.The lamps and fixtures are decorations.Color, design and situation arranged to suitindividual taste. Is your home ElectricLighted?

Ironically, while Thomas Edison usedcertain dialogue in his ads to influencewomen to want his products, it was recent-ly discovered that his viewpoints on workand the state of genius may have beeninfluenced by Kate Sanborn (July 11, 1839- July 9, 1917). Sanborn was a very popu-lar American author, teacher and lecturerin her time. Followers of Thomas Edisonfeel one of his best quotes was: “Genius isone percent inspiration, ninety-nine per-cent perspiration.” This quote parallels toKate Sanborn’s message. “Genius is inspi-ration; Talent is perspiration.” Her reply tothis comparison was “… Of late it has beenwidely quoted, but with no acknowledg-

ment, so I still think it is mine.” This claimwas recorded in the Detroit Journal, ascited in the Philadelphia newspaper TheTimes on Dec 23, 1892 (p.4). So a womanproved to motivate the opinions of anothergenius in like thoughts.

Thomas Edison Tuned Into Progressive Housewives in New Century


rates Lazzarini’s book from other book’s that pertain toParkinson’s Disease. She provides details in her researchand also serves as an inspiration to other women to chal-lenge themselves and enter a field dominant by men.

“I had such a wonderful opportunity to do research,” saysLazzarini regarding her profession and hopes that her storywill encourage other women, like her granddaughter, to getinvolved in science.

Lazzarini was planning on a scholarship in fashiondesign, until she visited a pond in sixth grade, collected atadpole “and they grew into frogs. This is what I like,” sherealized, “science and the way things work.”

Then when a good friend of hers lost her mother to can-cer, Lazzarini was inspired to go into a field to contribute tocancer research. She says “when it happens I’m going tounderstand why; it’s very rewarding.”

In her book, “Both Sides Now,” Lazzarini conveys theinside story behind the discovery of the first Parkinson dis-ease-causing mutation.

“This book is unique because I’ve lived both sides of thewhite coat,” she says. “Developing that change of identity isthe challenge. I’ve really lived both sides now,” says themother of two.

“There are parts that are entertaining; parts that are hope-ful; parts that are sad,” and hopefully “be inspired by theability to overcome.”

One of Lazzarini’s greatest accomplishments was in

1997 when she was part of the Robert Wood JohnsonMedical School/National Institutes of Health team that dis-covered the first mutation known to cause ParkinsonDisease in the protein known as alpha-synuclein, the sameprotein in the zebra finch, a large family of songbirds.

With training in genetics, Lazzarini says “we see a gene,we try to find a cure.” Their goal is to try to see how genesconnect.

“I can describe the players,” says Lazzarini. It’s an enter-taining story. They’ll meet the players in the biggest break-through of Parkinson’s research; trip to collect blood sam-ples, being able to share that thrill with the audience; to con-vey that message of hope that there will be treatments avail-able.”

Readers will learn about Lazzarini feeling “traumatized”when she realized she was getting symptoms of the samedisease she was researching; how she felt a change in iden-tity from researcher to patient; how she felt like a fraud; andthe fear she felt in losing her career.”

Named one of the top 20 authors in Parkinson diseaseresearch from 1996-2006, Lazzarini is also known for herresearch in the genetics of Huntington disease, restless legssyndrome and ataxia. She earned a bachelor’s degree inBiology from the College of Saint Elizabeth, a master’s ingenetic counseling at Rutgers University and her doctoratein Cell and Developmental Biology at the age of 55.

When Lazzarini was working with patients who hadHuntington disease, she recalls the advice shared then: “It’s

not the cards that you dealt but the way you played them thatcounts. I hope I can see this through with grace and dignity.”

She says, “I’m more comfortable with it now. After Iretired I felt relief but also sadness” for leaving her world ofscience. “It’s been ten years of adjusting to it. When it firsthappens the world will never be the same but it’s learning tolive with it,” like when you lose someone.

Lazzarini tries to stay active by walking with friendsevery morning, playing bridge, scrabble, reading, participat-ing in her writer’s group and scheduling speaking engage-ments. She is thankful that after “10 years out’ she is notfeeling terribly debilitated” from the disease “I used to bevery tired and get tremors so hard” that she could not sendemails. She has experienced some “sluggish” in her walkingbut says “when I go to Parkinson’s groups, it’s humbling thatI’m so far doing well.”

With different versions of Parkinson’s, Lazzarini wasdiagnosed with Tremor Predominant but a milder case, asopposed to other cases that affect balance and cognition.

“The tremors are manageable,” she says, adding that shedoes take medicine regularly which helps.

To learn more about Lazzarini and her story fromresearcher to patient, read “Both Sides Now,” availablethrough Amazon, Barnes & Noble and several locallibraries.

Annual Golf Event Assists ThoseWith Special Needs


By Ejvind BoccoliniThe Arc Morris is a great providerof services for individuals withIntellectual and/or Developmental

Disabilities (I/DD), helping them tobecome as self-sufficient as possible andto become included in their communitiesas much as possible. For more than 60years Arc Morris has done this greatdeed.

Last year, the organization celebrated60 years of service, and earlier thismonth, Executive Director, Bill Testa,offered some insight on its service.

"For over 60 years, The Arc/Morrishas envisioned a world in which peoplewith Intellectual and relatedDevelopmental Disabilities and theirfamilies are valued and have the opportu-nity to achieve their highest level of self-sufficiency, independence, and inclusionpossible," said Testa.

Arc Morris representatives note thatthey thank "our many supporters for theircontinued participation." Those whohave donated and supported Arc Morris

have helped them achieve the status ofbeing an organization that is truly pro-ductive and kind toward the individuals itserves.

“Our progress as an organization andthe gains we have made for people withintellectual and other developmental dis-abilities have occurred hand in hand," asstated in the website. “And that progresshas largely been achieved because of thegrass roots nature of our movement."

Representatives ask that local commu-nity members support the ARC, getinvolved, donate, or become an advocate.

It is noted on their website, arcmor-ris.org that local residents can getinvolved by checking out the How ToHelp section.

As an example, it is suggested that,"For family members, committed to help-ing advocate for people with I/DD, con-sider joining The Arc of New Jersey’sFamily Advocacy Program."

Also, "Educating policy makers andelected officials concerning the missionof The Arc is essential at this time. You

can help by taking action."Volunteering is, of course, another

way to help The Arc/Morris."Volunteer opportunities are always

ents with our Recreation Program, getcontinued on next page


your fellow employees at work to helpout with a group project, or assist us withour fundraising events" the Arc could useyour help in order to continue the excel-lent service they are providing.

"But, the greatest benefit may be theknowledge that you are doing your partso The Arc can continue to help make adifference in the lives of people withintellectual and developmental disabili-ties and their families," the website reads.

Some upcoming events are as follows:Wed., May 20, at 6 p.m., is the AnnualMeeting followed by VolunteerRecognition and Awards Presentation,Frelinghuysen Arboretum HaggertyEducation Center.

For those receiving servings from theArc Morris, or their family members,here are some suggestions.

"As a person with Intellectual andother Developmental Disabilities (I/DD),speaking up for yourself and participat-ing in decisions that affect all peoplewith I/DD is critical to advancing themission of The Arc/Morris."

The Arc/Morris has made a differencein the lives of so many people affected byintellectual and developmental disabili-ties, and it is noted on their website that"one way in which we have connectedindividuals and families to the organiza-tion is through membership."

Celebrate The Earth In Morristown


Morris County Freeholders Debate Brings Differences To The Forefront by Anastasia MarcheseThis month's debate sponsored by

the Mendham and ChesterRepublican Club was held at the

Lamplighter Restaurant in Chester. OnMay 7, the Republican candidates forMorris County Freeholders got togetherto discuss their positions on the currentissues affecting Morris County residents.Many hot button items came up and morethan once the air in the room becametense as the candidates differencesbecame apparent.

Out of the eight candidates, sevenwere present for the entire debate, whilethe eighth arrived during the final state-ments. David Scapicchio who is current-ly on the Freeholder board arrived late,due to being detained by his liaisonduties.

This year the incumbents split intotwo separate teams, having differed on anumber of issues.

Dubbing themselves the "MorrisConservative Team" are FreeholderDavid Scapicchio of Mt. Olive,Freeholder John Krickus of Long Valley,and Freeholder candidate Deborah Smithof Denville. The other team of"Republicans for Morris CountyFreeholder" consists of Freeholder

John Cesaro from Parsippany Troy-Hills, Freeholder candidate ChristineMyers of Mendham and Freeholder can-didate Angelo Tedesco of East Hanover.The stand-alone candidate is ThomasMulligan of Rockaway Borough.

During opening statements most of thecandidates expressed similar goals forthe upcoming term if elected, such aseconomic growth, building and pavingmore roads, and working together withcounty offices to reduce redundancy andincrease efficiency. However, once themoderator started asking questions aboutthe recent solar settlement, things beganto heat up.

Cesaro defended his choice to vote forthe settlement, by pointing out that theywere advised by the county's legal coun-sel to take the settlement in order toavoid getting bogged down in the mire ofa lengthy investigation and litigation. Healso distanced himself from the originalplan by pointing out that the origins ofthe solar plan "were way before mytime."

Krickus was quick to distance himself

from the settlement by pointing out thathe did not vote for it. "We are going toask questions," he said. "Professionalsare good, but we need to question them.They are the ones making money off thisproject. The freeholders voted for thesolar program without asking questions."

Smith made it clear that she would nothave voted for the settlement because ofthe gag order. Cesaro rebutted, "We cantalk about it, just not in a disparaging,back alley way."

Forced to move on by time con-straints, the candidates were asked aboutsome recent conflicts between the free-holder board and the County Sheriff,Edward Rochford, over the hiring of newofficers and requested pay increases andbonuses for the County Officers. All thecandidates expressed respect and appre-ciation for the Sheriff and his officerswhile emphasizing the need to work withhim. Smith, who has known Rochford foryears said, "We need to work with him ina respectful manner. We need to avoidheadlines."

Just this month a compromise wasreached by the Freeholders and the sher-iff's office to raise the officer's salaries by5 percent over the next three years.

The other hot button topic was the dis-cussion of what to do with the countysurplus, which went from 40 million to60 million over the past three years. Thefact that part of this surplus is the resultof some county offices being left vacant,was pointed out by Myers. She went onto say, "Economic growth is the onlything that will ensure lower taxes. Weneed economic growth to ensure our sur-plus."

Her team mate Cesaro, also pointedout, "The AAA Bond rating is a very pre-carious issue. You mess around with oursurplus that is going to affect your inter-est rate." He went on to explain that giv-ing money back to the taxpayers in theform of a tax rebate will lower the sur-plus and with it the bond rating. Thatcould possibly cost the taxpayers moreover time because of raised interest ratesthat the county would be paying.

Mulligan, the stand alone candidatedistanced himself from the back and forthbanter that went on a bit between the twoteams, by sticking to his objectives, qual-ifications and his "small town" mindset."Government needs to run as efficiently

as possible," he said during his closingstatements. "We need to eliminate dupli-cate services across the county."

Krickus used his closing statement toonce again distance himself fromCesaro's vote on the solar settlement."We need to build roads, not solarPanels," was his phrase of the eveningwhile emphasizing that he and his run-ning mates, Smith and Scapicchio stand

for "the right ideals of conservative gov-ernment."

Tedesco emphasized that his team ofCesaro, Myers and himself "believe innegotiating, not litigating."

All in all, the evening helped definethe differences between the candidatesand made the audience a more informedelectorate. The Republican primary elec-tions day is Tues., June 2.

By Cheryl ConwayAzero tax increase, reducing debtand maintaining roadways arehigh on the list for David

Scapicchio’s campaign as Morris CountyFreeholder.

Running in the Republican 2015 June2 Primary for his second three- year termas freeholder, Scapicchio of Flanders andMorris County resident for more than 36years, was sworn in to his first three-yearterm on the freeholder board on Jan. 4,2013, serving as the board’s deputy direc-tor in 2013 and 2014.

Competing in an all-RepublicanPrimary, Scapicchio joins running matesFreeholder John Krikus of WashingtonTwp., and Deborah Smith, a Denvillecouncilwoman. The three are competingagainst incumbent John Cesaro ofParsippany, Christine Meyers ofMendham, Angelo Tedesco of EastHanover, and Thomas Mulligan ofRockaway.

With success in keeping all promisesduring his first term, Scapicchio plans tocontinue the same course.

“When we ran in 2012, we made some


Scapicchio Enters Ring For Round Two For Freeholder Fight

David Scapicchio

promises,” says Scapicchio during a tele-phone interview with New View Media.“We did not raise taxes for three years in arow. We said we’d reduce debt; wereduced debt by $300 million. We saidwe’d pave roads. We’ve been able to dothat without raising taxes. The plan is thesame.”

Scapicchio says “I made promises in2012 when I first ran; I fulfilled thosepromises. As candidates for politicaloffice we set goals, we promise to makechanges, and to do things differently.More often than not, even with the best ofintensions those promises are hard tokeep. During the 2012 campaign we madesome promises, and we have succeeded infulfilling many of them. Promises made-promises keep.”

No stranger to public service,Scapicchio served as Mt. Olive mayorfrom 2006-2011; Mt. Olive Twp. council-man for two consecutive terms (1996-2004) in which he spent two years ascouncil president; Mt. Olive ZoningBoard of Adjustment; and is a formerchair of the Mt. Olive RepublicanCommittee.

At the county level, Scapicchio servedon the Morris County Municipal UtilitiesAuthority.

He currently chairs the Capital BudgetReview and Facilities Committee, whichis in charge of capital programs. In thatcapacity, he is involved in a six year pro-gram, 2015-2021, to enhance the road sur-facing program. The road surfacing pro-gram has grown from 17 miles of roadresurfacing a year, prior to 2013, to 34miles of roadway each year, a much need-ed service based on “severe winters” androadway conditions, he says.

“We want to continue that program,”says Scapicchio, adding that there are 284miles of roadway in Morris County thatneed to be maintained.

“We have prioritized infrastructureimprovements, an area most governmentshave failed to address,” he says. This yearwe’ve invested $16 million on the coun-ty’s infrastructure.”

Scapicchio mentions a continuedcourse regarding health insurance, debtand taxes.

Health Insurance cost the county $47million a year, he says, so the freeholderboard eliminated the policy that enabled

freeholders to receive health insurancepaid for by the county tax payers, and alsochanged the policy that provided employ-ees lifetime health insurance after 15 yearsof employment.

“The county no longer provides newemployees with lifetime benefits, and allemployees now contribute towards theirhealth insurance,” he says.

The board is also considering a self-insurance program “which may have thepotential to save the county hundreds ofthousands of dollars,” he adds.

Regarding debt, Morris County debt isat $229 million, down from $259 millionwhen he came into office.

“By keeping capital spending undercontrol we have been able to reduce debtby $10 million a year,” says Scapicchio.

Regarding taxes, he says “We said wewould not raise property taxes- we havedelivered three budgets with no taxincrease and we are working hard to deliv-er a 2016 budget with no tax increase aswell. Our goal is to make county govern-ment smarter, smaller and more respon-sive.

“We are reforming health care, payingdown debt, controlling taxes, investing inroads and bridges and maintaining thecounty’s AAA bond rating,” saysScapicchio. “That’s good Republicanleadership!”

Scapicchio studied at DeVry Instituteof Technology and eventually became apartner in Scapicchio & Sons, a family-owned, high-quality, professional residen-tial construction company in Whippany.

Originally from Livingston, he and hiswife Betsy, married in 1977 and have fourgrown daughters.

Scapicchio says he is re-running forfreeholder because “I enjoy public works,working with others how we can provideservice in the county and doing it withoutraising taxes. I enjoy working towards thatgoal.”

The freeholder board is an electedadministrative body that sets policies forthe operation of all county services. Thatincludes six county government depart-ments and their divisions, plus authorities,commissions, boards and study commit-tees.

Each of the seven freeholders serves asa liaison to one of those departments andto other areas of county government.

By Cara ConnellyThe temperatures are rising and thebirds are chirping- great motiva-tion to resume favorite warm

weather activities. For runners, thatmeans the start of spring training.

Creating a seasonal race schedule andplanning running goals is exciting andcrossing the finish line nothing shy of

rewarding. If more time is spent in slip-pers than running shoes during theWinter, take it slow.

The couch-to-5K is a popular trainingplan for runners who want to get off thecouch and run 3.1 miles after just a cou-ple of weeks. If looking to run a 5K forthe first time, simply focus on the dis-tance knowing PB- personal best- will beset up on race day. As the second or third

race is built up, focus more on time. A 5Kis considered the entry level distance forroad races and the most beginner friend-ly choice if looking to break into roadracing.

So, how long is a 5K race? It would belike running across a football field 54.68times, running around all four bases of aregulation baseball diamond 45.47 times,running the length of an NBA regulationcourt 174.13 times or running a little lessthan a fourth of the length of Manhattan.A 5K is long enough to be a challenge,but, not so far to be discouraging.

At 3.1 miles, a 5K is a very doablerunning distance.

Start out easy. Runners shouldn’texpect to start where they left off. Justbecause five miles was run six monthsago, does that mean that can be doneright away. Start workouts slowly withless mileage, less time and a decrease inintensity. Running is an extremely chal-lenging activity so don’t make it anyharder than necessary when starting out.For the first few months, stick to flatpaths or run on a treadmill keeping the

incline low. Wait to incorporate speed,intervals or longer workouts. By addingspeed sessions and longer workouts toosoon, chance of injuries is increased.Build cardiovascular endurance andgradually increase the workout length.

Warm up and cool down, hydrate anddiet. If the body is eased into each run,better preparation to sustain effort willkeep one going. Start and finish everyrun with three to five minutes of walking.Now is the perfect time to start reevaluat-ing the diet and hydration needs. By stay-ing hydrated and eating balanced meals,the energy and stamina will conquer anywork out.

Go shopping. Running requires verylittle equipment. All one really needs is agood pair running shoes and for women,a supportive sports bra. For footwear,visit a local running specialty store andget properly fitted.

Walk, run-walk, then run. If brandnew to regular exercise, start by walkingfor the first three weeks, 30 minutes, sev-eral times a week. Gradually mix in a lit-

tle running – try 60 seconds and build upfrom there. Soon running will be morewith walking will be less until none at all.

Take the talk test. Remember to startout easy. If alone, recite the Pledge ofAllegiance a few times. If struggling toget the words out, the run is too hard.

Mix in the activities most enjoyedIncrease that fitness level while decreas-ing repetitive muscle fatigue by crosstraining. Try yoga, pilates, biking, skat-ing and anything to get moving.

Set a personal goal. A dangling carrotkeeps the motivation flowing. Registerfor a local 5K road race or aim to run acertain number of miles or minutes eachmonth. It’s helpful to find a running part-ner and keep one another motivated.

Track progress. Keeping a log is agreat way to see where one has been andwhere one is going. Whether online or onpaper, document each run. Include time,pace and how it felt to see what is work-ing.
