When Dr. McGrattan discovered that her advice to her patients to start running and eating right were getting better results than the medicine she was prescribing, she decided to quit her medical practice and dedicate herself to getting as many people running as possible. Not only were the physical benefits helping her patients, but the mental benefits were also enormous. Her new book, Run Well: Essential Health Questions and Answers for Runners addresses the medical advice she imparts to her runners. 

Also in this edition we remind you that it is the last week to sign up for the Old Crazy Runners Beer Run. We have openings for just a couple more teams. Be sure to sign up here. We give a shout out to our local running buddy who decided to bust out a half marathon mid-week that ended at a tap room. We also tease the new Brook's Adrenaline version, only available at Dick's Sporting Goods that benefits women's and girls' sports organizations.
