A MOVING PRELUDE TO CHRISTMAS: PACIFIC CHORALE JOINS PACIFIC SYMPHONY FOR “HANDEL’S GLORIOUS MESSIAH”
A beloved holiday tradition, Handel’s celebrated oratorio—with its blazing trumpets, thundering timpani and spectacular “Hallelujah!” chorus—provides a moment during the busy season to experience reflection, renewal and joy. Aweinspiring sounds of praise ring out as Pacific Symphony is joined by Pacific Chorale for the triumphant annual holiday celebration, “Handel’s Glorious Messiah,” celebrating the birth of Christ. A holiday tradition across the world, “Messiah” has been performed for more than 275 years, but with each new conductor, orchestra and soloists, it becomes a fresh and newly invigorating experience. This year Christopher Warren-Green mans the podium to lead the Symphony along with the Chorale and a host of globally
distinguished soloists, including the soprano Klara Ek, countertenor David Trudgen, tenor Nicky Spence and bass-baritone Daniel Okulitch. Full of brilliant choral writing, “Messiah” energizes its audience and leaves them singing, “Hallelujah!” “Handel’s Glorious Messiah” takes place on Sunday, Dec. 9, at 3 p.m., at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Tickets start at $44. For more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org. About Christopher Warren-Green Christopher Warren-Green is a British violinist and conductor. Warren-Green has recorded for BMG, EMI, Philips, Virgin, Warner Classics, Chandos and Deutsche Grammophon. In July 2007, he conducted the premiere of Nigel
Hess’s Concerto for Piano and Orchestra, commissioned by the Prince of Wales in memory of his grandmother, with soloist Lang Lang. He conducted the London Chamber Orchestra at the April 2011 wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge before a worldwide television audience. In May 2018, he conducted the orchestra at the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The group consisted of musicians from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and English Chamber Orchestra and featured virtuoso cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason. About Pacific Chorale The Pacific Chorale is internationally recognized for exceptional artistic expression, stimulating Americanfocused programming and influential education programs. The Chorale presents a performance season at Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Orange County and is sought regularly to perform with the nation’s leading symphonies. The Chorale has infused an Old-World art form with California’s hallmark innovation and cultural independence, developing innovative new concepts in programming and expanding the traditional concepts of choral repertoire and performance.
The Chorale comprises 140 professional and volunteer singers. In addition to its longstanding partnership with Pacific Symphony, the Chorale has performed with the Boston, National and San Diego symphonies, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, and Los Angeles Philharmonic, among other American ensembles, and has toured extensively in Europe, South America and Asia. The Chorale’s numerous recordings include six with Carl St. Clair and Pacific Symphony featuring music by contemporary American composers. Educational programs include a Choral Academy for elementary school students modeled on the El Sistema movement; a Choral Camp presented with California State University, Fullerton providing high school students with training in music theory and vocal production; and a Choral Festival uniting 400 community members each summer in a free community performance, among other initiatives. The Chorale’s many honors include awards from ASCAP and Chorus America. Robert Istad became artistic director in the 2017-18 season after serving as assistant conductor since 2004.
THINK HOSTING A DINNER PARTY IS DIFFICULT? THINK AGAIN
Some might call the dinner party a lost art, but gathering family and friends around the table to eat great food, drink fantastic wine and enjoy each other’s company is the perfect way to celebrate the holidays. Creating an elegant, effortless evening to remember is easier than one might think. Perfecting the dinner party is about putting people at ease and creating an environment that encourages conversation and laughter - the two most important elements of a successful dinner party. So, instead of trying to impress guests with fancy culinary skills or decorating prowess, focus on five simple tips: 1. LIGHT CAN BE THE LIFE OF THE PARTY From glowing centerpieces to sparkling votive candles, elegant party lighting is always a bright idea. Candles set the mood and create ambiance - and allow your guests to truly shine. 2. LET THE WINE FLOW The right wine can perfect the moment and no dinner party would be complete without it. Greet guests Page 4
with a bright and beautiful sparkling rose and keep it flowing during the cocktail hour. During dinner, offer one red and one white wine. Santa Margherita Chianti and Pinot Grigio are two delicious options with wide appeal. 3. OF COURSE DESSERT IS A FOOD GROUP! Dessert is the perfect way to end an amazing meal. Leave your guests floating on air with angel food cake topped with a Prosecco-infused frosting. 4. DON’T LET GUESTS LEAVE EMPTY-HANDED Giving guests a little something to take home when they leave extends the good vibes. Say goodnight in a unique way by sending guests home with a bottle of wine or votive candle to re-create the magic in their own home. 5. REMEMBER TO BREATHE If you’re having fun, your guests will too. Take a deep breath and, while you’re at it, give your red wine a little air, too. Aerators open up the aromas and flavors, making every sip better. - (BPT)

SENATOR PATRICIA BATES BEGINS SECOND TERM, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO CHAMPION TAXPAYERS
Senator Patricia Bates Senator Patricia Bates (R-Laguna Niguel) today took the oath of office to begin her second term as the state senator for South Orange and North San Diego counties in Sacramento, reaffirming her commitment to champion taxpayers at the State Capitol. “It’s an honor to continue to represent the diverse communities of the 36th Senate District in the Legislature and provide a voice for the issues that matter to all Californians, such as education, jobs, and public safety” said Senator Bates. “They deserve a
Vacations are keeping Americans busy this season. But, with all that fun, make sure you don’t overlook caring for your car and tires. If you do, the only thing you’ll be doing is standing in the breakdown lane. Americans will travel 1,045 miles on average to reach their destinations, according to the recent Hankook Tire Quarterly Gauge Index. -Before leaving for a trip, however, only 48 percent of Americans check their vehicle’s tires for proper tread depth or tire damage. Drivers should monitor their tire pressure and tread and look for tire damage such as bruises, tears or punctures at least once a month. In addition to checking your tires, make sure you have your spare tire ready to go. These days, most people aren’t considering this to be a top priority - only 21 percent think a spare tire is the most necessary item for travel safety. In fact, 52 percent of Americans consider their cellphone to be the most important safety item. While you’re checking the pressure and condition of your vehicle’s tires that are actually touching the ground, don’t forget to check your spare tire. The last thing you want to encounter when you have a blowout is a flat or underinflated spare.

TIPS FOR SAFE VACATION TRAVEL
And where do people turn when in a bind with car troubles? Thirty-three percent of American drivers said they would call AAA first before calling a sibling, friend, parent or colleague. We all want to do our best to avoid possible issues on the road, so here are some safety tips from Hankook Tire America to keep in mind: Park in the shade - Air in your vehicle’s tires expands as temperatures rise, in fact for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit increase in ambient air temperature, your tire’s inflation pressure can go up by about 1 psi. Check fluid levels - Make sure the check includes topping off window washer, brake and transmission fluids and motor oil. Rotate your tires - Tire rotation is another important safety precaution and is recommended every 7,000 miles or six months. Rotating tires is the practice of moving automobile tires from one position on the car to another to provide optimal wear. Check brakes and brake pads/ shoes - Be sure to monitor them closely, especially if you can’t remember how long it has been since they were last checked. Don’t overload your car Overloading a car can lead to tire
deformation, so be sure to check the vehicle’s owner’s manual for the recommended maximum weight capacity. Check your trunk - It is important to make sure you have the tools you need to change a flat: a spare tire, a lug wrench and a jack.
Choose the right tire - Tires that offer lower rolling resistance, such as the Ultra-High Performance AllSeason Hankook Ventus S1 noble2, can deliver fuel savings by minimizing wasted energy as a tire rolls, thereby improving fuel efficiency and saving consumers money. - (BPT)

BANNER SEASON FOR MISSION VIEJO CHRISTIAN SCHOOL By Michael Margy Photos by Cindy Williams It turned out to be a banner season for Mission Viejo Christian School’s junior high boys’ flag football and girls’ volleyball teams. In two heartstopping games, the Crusaders pulled off the rare feat of winning the Parochial Athletic League (PAL) championships in both sports. It began Thursday night, November 8, when Mission Viejo Christian School (MVCS) girls’ volleyball battled St. Angela Merici for the PAL Small School title. The Crusaders entered the championship match having run through their first three playoff opponents in six straight games, St. Angela Merici seemed unphased by this record and stormed out to a seemingly insurmountable 23-17 lead in Game 1. “The point by point intensity in Game 1 was what makes competition fun,” Mission Viejo Christian School volleyball head coach Dawn Rentrop said. Trailing by six, Rentrop inserted Maddy Wilford to serve. Wilford served six straight points to tie the score. From there, the teams continued to trade points until the Crusaders eventually pulled off the 32-30 victory. “I’ve played and coached for 25 years and have never seen a match with so much hard work, heart, and excitement,” Rentrop said. “It took an entire team effort on and off the court to pull off the championship.” The Crusaders clinched the championship with a decisive 25-14 Game 2 victory. Two days later, Mission Viejo Christian School’s boys’ flag football team traveled to Anaheim to face St. Joseph Catholic School of Placentia in the championship game.

Her success of 3 million of gold and platinum albums sold, with all of her seven albums hitting number one on the Billboard Classical chart and being the youngest solo artist to perform in Lincoln Center has led her to appear twice on Billboard’s list of “musicmovers-and-shakers under the age of 21.” The momentum of “O Holy Night” later propelled the success of her first album under Sony Music, “Dream with Me” produced by David Foster. With what started as a child’s a fascination of “Phantom of the Opera,” in addition to her solo music and the duets with Tony Bennett, Plácido Domingo, Barbra Streisand, Chris Botti and Joshua Bell, she has headlined three PBS specials and
Jackie Evancho appeared in the film “The Company We Keep” requested by her co-star Robert Redford in 2013. Evancho is currently working on her newest and eighth album, after releasing her latest album “Two Hearts” a little more than a year ago. While “Two Hearts” merges Jackie’s love of pop hits and classical crossover Italian songs, her new album will feature contemporary
songs from “Hamilton,” “Dear Evan Hansen,” “Waitress,” “Greatest Showman,” “Wicked,” “Rent,” and “Spring Awakening.” While in between touring and recording, Evancho is continuing her education and splitting her time between being immersed in the creative community in New York and be surrounded by her family in Pittsburgh.
ELKS VISIT SOUTH COUNTY OUTREACH BEARING GIFTS By Andy Costello Members of the Mission Viejo, Saddleback Valley Elks visited the South County Outreach Distribution Center in Irvine this week. The members represented the Elks Run-A-Ways Camping Club and the Lodge’s Bingo Charity Committee. The visitors presented a gift bag with sixty-three (63) $25 department store gift certificates to be included in the family holiday offerings given by Outreach to local families. The Elks Run-A-Ways have made the gifts an annual donation to SC Outreach instead of a holiday gift exchange between club members. This year’s donation was generously matched by the Elks Bingo Charity Committee. Outreach President & CEO Lara Fisher welcomed the Elks, thanking them for their donation. President Fisher said, “As in the past, we will ask families receiving holiday food baskets if there are teenagers at home and if so, a gift certificate from the Elks will be added. We see lots of gifts for the babies and small children at this time of year, but the teenagers often seem to be missed. The $25 gift card will give the teenager an opportunity to buy a small gift for themselves or for another family member or friend.” For the past 29 years, South County Outreach (originally Saddleback Community Outreach), has been a leader in the fight to end hunger and homelessness in Orange County. Through the implementation of programs like their Transitional Housing Program, which puts a roof over the

heads of 17 households every year, and their Food Pantry, which distributes over 800,000 lbs of food and keeps nearly 2,500 children fed each year, Outreach is helping people help themselves. That is believed to be the most effective way to build a self-sustaining community. The Mission Viejo/Saddleback Valley Elks Lodge #2444 is celebrating 48 years of service
to Saddleback Valley Communities. It is one of 8 lodges in the Orange Coast District of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) whose headquarters is in Chicago, Illinois. The BPOE is a charitable organization with a 150 year history of giving “Elks Care Elks Share”. For information regarding Elks programs or membership in the Elks, call 949 830-3557.

INAUGURAL “CHEF MASTERS” RAISES OVER $100,000 FOR ALZHEIMER’S FAMILY CENTER The beautiful ocean-front Paséa Hotel & Spa in Huntington Beach was the setting for the inaugural “Chef Masters,” benefiting Alzheimer’s Family Center (AFC), for 375 guests. Over looking the ocean with breathtaking views of the sunset, the culinary extravaganza offered guests a sumptuous 90-minute gourmet food and wine reception on the hotel’s terrace featuring 31 top Orange County chefs and restaurants and an offering of upscale California wines. Following the tasting, guests entered the ballroom to enjoy a decadent dessert, presented by Venue Host Executive Chef Kevin Meyer at Paséa Resort. AFC CEO Joanna Richardson-Jones welcomed everyone and thanked them for their support. She, in particular, thanked Hoag Hospital for its 40 years of support. Hoag’s partnership with AFC 40 years ago provided the 20,000 sq.ft. dementia-specific center in Huntington Beach, which is the only day care program in Orange County devoted exclusively to treating people with dementia. “Hoag’s passion made it possible,” Richardson-Jones said of Hoag. AFC Board President Mary Lou Shattuck introduced Gwen Parry, M.D., who serves on the AFC board and has been instrumental in AFC’s success. He is director of Hoag’s Community Benefit Program. Chef Masters Founder and Producer Kristin Martin introduced Honorary Executive Chef Chair Pascal Olhats, and Venue Host Executive Chef Kevin Meyer as culinary leaders of the inaugural fundraiser. She also recognized Title Sponsor Mona Lee Nesseth, who supported AFC because of the guidance she received from Richardson-Jones for her mother, who suffers from dementia. “My mother would not be alive if it weren’t for Joanna and AFC’s guidance,” Nesseth says. “They have also been a tremendous help to me as her caregiver.” Attendees had the opportunity to bid on some tempting live auction items, including a Montana escape in a luxury log home and a stay locally in a villa at The Resort at Pelican Hill and a chef’s dinner at the Coliseum Pool & Grill. A chance to help Alzheimer’s Family Center in a special Fund-A-Need brought more support. The raffle for the 57-bottle superb wine offering was won by a very happy couple, John and Teresa O’Neill of Coto de Caza. The top-notch entertainment was provided by The Johnny Holiday Show with the Dean Mora Orchestra. Major underwriters who attended were Julia Argyros, president of the Argyros Family Foundation and philanthropist Sue Gross. The effort netted more than $100,000 for AFC programs. The participating Chefs/Restaurants were: HONORARY EXECUTIVE CHEF CHAIR Pascal Olhats (Newport Beach); VENUE HOST EXECUTIVE CHEF Kevin Meyer, Tanners Pasea Hotel & Spa (Huntington Beach); Adam Navidi, Oceans & Earth & Future Foods Farm (Yorba Linda); Amy Cripps & Christine Ferrian, OC Local Honey (Costa Mesa); Cody Storts, Wreckless Restaurant (Fullerton); Craig Brady, Haven Gastropub (Orange); David Shofner, Fable & Spirit (Newport Beach); Diego Bernal, Coliseum Pool & Grill, Resort at Pelican Hill (Newport Coast); Eric Mickle, Orange Hill Restaurant (Orange); Greg Daniels, Harley’s Laguna Beach (Laguna Beach); Jessica Roy, Current Coastal Cuisine, Renaissance Hotel NB (Newport Beach); John Vega, Silvas Bar & Grill (Santa Ana); Jorge Valines, Bluegold/ LSXO (Huntington Beach); Keith Prante, Haute Productions (Laguna Hills); Linda Johnsen, Filomena’s Italian Kitchen & Market (Costa Mesa); Lindsay SmithRosales & Kimmy Wilson, Nirvana Grille (Laguna Beach); Manfred Lassahn, Watertable, Hyatt Huntington Beach (Huntington Beach); Michael Doctulero, Mah Jong’s (TBA); Noe Moreno, True Food Kitchen (Newport Beach); Paolo Buffa, Irvine Spectrum Marriott (Irvine); Philip Tangonan, Cannery Seafood of the Pacific (Newport Beach); Rachel Haggstrom, Waterline, A + O Kitchen & Bar, Balboa Bay Resort (Newport Beach); Ron Fougeray, Splashes, Surf & Sand Resort (Laguna Beach); Samantha Meyers, Sugared & Iced (Irvine); Scott Raczek, 90 Pacifica at Doubletree Irvine & Meritage Kitchen & Bar (Irvine); Ugo Allesina, Prego Ristoranti (Tustin); Yvon Goetz & Jim Fritz, The Winery Restaurant & Wine Bar (Newport Beach); and Zach Geerson, Journeyman’s Food + Drink (Fullerton).

W FAMILY FEATURES
hile the kitchen is often the busiest room in the house, it is also one of the most important rooms when it comes to renovations. An upgraded, vibrant kitchen that incorporates elements of personal style can make the room more attrac tive while increasing the home’s overall value. An easy way to give your kitchen an instant upgrade is by adding color in places that complement the decor of the room. Elements such as cabinetry, sinks and appliances are good places to start the facelift process while also adding more functionality.
Consider cabinets
Not only can new cabinets provide the benefit of more storage space, they also present an opportunity to incorporate some colorful style into the kitchen. Make your splash with vibrant color on the cabinets themselves, or pair softer hues with muted contrasts to create an eyepleasing backdrop for bold color appliances and vibrant accents and accessories. If you opt for a more traditional finish such as cherry, black, walnut, white or maple, you can still add visual interest to your kitchen design by contrasting the upper and lower cabinetry or creating a standout island in a different tone. Simply updating the hardware with a colorful twist can be an inexpensive alternative for adding color as well.
Think about sinks
Once overlooked as an option for introducing style in the kitchen, today’s kitchen sinks accommodate a wide range of designs and preferences. Both function and aesthetics – including unexpected, vibrant color – are important when replacing your sink. An option such as the Elkay Quartz Luxe collection comes in six bold colors and three mount styles with a variety of bowl options and addon accessories. The collection combines the highestquality quartz with a high performance, UVstable acrylic resin for a durable sink that is easy to maintain, faderesistant, vibrant in color and stain and odorresistant. For added convenience, Elkay’s unique quartz finishing process delivers a satinsmooth, nonporous surface that prevents foods, liquids and bacteria from sticking to it. Because natural quartz is four times harder than granite, it has the ability to resist scratches, smudges, heavy impact and heat up to 535 F, making it both a practical and attractive option. Explore a variety of models that can help make your renovation complete at elkay.com/quartz.
Add stylish appliances
A complete set of matching appliances makes for a modern and inviting ap pearance. Popular finish options include smudge-proof stainless steel, chrome, black or white, but if you’re really looking to brighten the room, some lines are available in colors such as red, blue, orange or green. Although the visual impact is important, remember to keep practical considerations in mind and look for the features – such as sidebyside versus drawered refrigerators, for example – that work best for your space and lifestyle.
FIND YOUR IDEAL SINK A successful kitchen renovation captures every element of the space – including the kitchen sink. Select the right type, features and material to suit your family’s needs with four easy steps from the experts at Elkay: 1. Choose your sink material and color. Color, texture and sheen all provide ways for you to express your style. Stainless steel, copper, fine fireclay and colored quartz all offer unique benefits and aesthetics.
Page 16
2. Choose your sink type. Whether top mount with a finished rim, undermount to create a seamless appearance, universal mount which can be installed either above or below your countertop or an exposed apron front mount that extends out slightly further than the cabinet below it, your new sink needs to be in sync with your chosen countertop material. Whether or not you plan to replace your countertops will also affect your options.
The Ladera Ranch News
3. Choose your sink features. Select the number of bowls based on how you work. Single bowls can accommodate larger cooking sheets while double bowls allow for a quick wash/rinse sequence. Depth is an important consideration, too.
4. Choose your sink size and accessories. The size of your new sink is dependent upon the size of the cabinet it is installed in. Sinkbase cabinets can be created specially to fit an installed sink. Also, look for accessories that work with your sink to save space and add convenience in the kitchen. Options include cutting boards, rinsing baskets, colanders, bottom grids and drains, among others.

2019 PAGEANT OF THE MASTERS TICKETS ON SALE NOW
Tickets for the much-anticipated 2019 Pageant of the Masters are on sale now and make the perfect holiday present for art lovers and entertainmentseekers. Share the timeless gift of “living pictures” with tickets to next summer’s production The Time Machine. Tickets are available for purchase online www.foapom.com/time-machine-tickets/ or by calling (800) 487-3378. The 2019 Pageant of the Masters, The Time Machine, will take audiences around the globe and into the past, present, and future in search of great art and amazing stories. Taking its cues from science fiction and steampunk fantasies, The Time Machine will be a ticket to thrills, laughter, beautiful music and extraordinary living art under the stars. Pageant of the Masters producer/director Diane Challis Davy is thrilled with the staging and storytelling possibilities for next summer’s The Time Machine. “I was inspired by H.G. Wells’ novel, and we intend to conjure up a collection of artists who imagined and re-created scenes from the past and future,” she said. “Look at the works of artists like Jean-Leon Gerome and Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema,” Challis Davy continued. “They were both obsessed with re-imagining the glamour and sensuality of history. Their works tell us as much about their era as they reveal the spectacle of the ancient empires they sought to dramatize. We hope The Time Machine will become a mysterious journey through time and space, and art. Of course, there’ll be no shortage of surprises along the way, perhaps a few pop-culture cameo appearances.” The Pageant of the Masters has been a Laguna Beach tradition since the 1930’s and now attracts over 140,000 patrons every summer. In preparation for The Time Machine, Challis Davy is once again summoning her creative energies and inspiring her talented team of theatrical artists as they breathe
life into this one-of-a-kind entertainment. Each night during the summer season, the Pageant presents spectacular stage illusions with original, live music performed by a professional orchestra and informative, engaging live narration under the stars. “At its core, The Time Machine will focus on the ways in which art reveals and reflects the world in which it was created,” said veteran scriptwriter Dan Duling. “When we look at works by artists like Leonardo da Vinci or Johannes Vermeer, they provide us with invaluable clues to better understand life in their times.” As always, Challis Davy and the team of artists and technicians realize the Pageant wouldn’t be possible without the volunteers who return year after year to take part. Challis Davy offered a final, thoughtful observation: “The Pageant has always
been a kind of time machine for us, allowing us to venture to different eras, different corners of the globe, and even to speculate about what the future may hold. Next summer’s Pageant will be unlike any you’ve seen before.” The 2019 Pageant of the Masters, The Time Machine, runs July 7 – August 31, 2019. Advance tickets start at $15 per person and are on sale now. A Pageant ticket is also a season pass to the 2019 Festival of Arts Fine Art Show, which will take place July 5 – August 31, 2019.

5 WAYS TO REVAMP YOUR RUN
Have you ever wished you could just snap your fingers and be able to run a marathon? If only it were that easy. Whether you’re training for a race, want to get in shape or simply enjoy the rhythm of your feet hitting the pavement, running takes consistency and practice. “No matter where you fall on the running spectrum, there’s always room for improvement,” says Rebekah Mayer, National Run Training Manager for Life Time Fitness
- The Healthy Way of Life Company. “If you’re striving to become a better runner, you might need to make some changes or switch up your routine.” Below are five tips from Mayer to help amp up your run so you can feel great while making each workout count: Ease into your outdoor runs If you’ve been hitting the treadmill all winter and are just beginning to run outdoors, take it slow. Pavement is harder on your knees and joints than
a treadmill belt, and your running form is a little different when you’re outside on the ground. Start by taking some easy workouts outdoors, and then progress into harder workouts. By then, all the trails will be fully clear and your legs will have a chance to adapt. Ditch the background noise Consider leaving your headphones at home. While music is essential to beat boredom on a treadmill, many runners come to enjoy the quiet solitude or group chatter when running outdoors, especially when you run with a friend. Without headphones, it’s also easier to hear traffic, animals or approaching pedestrians. If music is absolutely necessary, try running with only one ear bud in. Make it memorable Take the time to make some of your runs a little more interesting. Is there a trail system a short drive from your home or nearest health club? Even if it doesn’t fit into your daily routine, doing some runs at a more scenic location every so often can make the miles much more enjoyable. Changing up your routine also helps keep your body challenged so you can continue to build strength and endurance. Gather your running buddies Running with friends is one of the best ways to stay motivated. Running
with a buddy on a treadmill is fun as well, but an outdoor running pal or group can help the time and miles pass more quickly. Life Time destinations nationwide host Tuesday Night Social Runs with varying distances and they’re complimentary for members and non-members. There’s nothing like good conversation to keep you entertained during your workout. Running partners can be good pace setters as well and might even suggest some new running routes or trails you’ve never tried before. Dress the part If you run in the dark, choose reflective clothing and a headlamp for safety. On rainy days, add a water resistant jacket and a cap to keep water out of your eyes. This will make the weather more tolerable. If temperatures are cool, choose an outer layer you can easily remove if you get too warm. Life Time is a firm believer that the right pair of shoes can help prevent injury, so make sure you find a pair that works for your running style. Use these tips to make the most of each run or if you’re one of the thousands of Americans who’s currently training for a marathon, check out lifetimerun.com to sign up for a virtual or in-person run training plan. - (BPT)
