We are a group of seniors in the Center for Law and Public Service Program at Colts Neck High School. This year as part of Senior Seminar we created a service learning project to address the issue of teens and safe driving. We are educating our peers about the negative effects of texting while driving, driving at excessive speeds and driving while intoxicated. Many in our community have been deeply saddened by the tragic loss of friends and loved ones. It is our goal to raise awareness and hopefully prevent such tragedies from effecting the CNHS and FRHSD communities in the future. Proceeds raised from the Striving for Safe Driving 5k will benefit local charities including Friends of Monmouth County Child Advocacy Center, Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD), the Mark Zarantonello Scholarship, and a scholarship to attend the Rude Awakening Program.

Key Nutritional Facts: Before You Exercise – ü Skip the snack if you’re running for less than an hour ü If running longer, eat a combo of protein and carbs (200 to 300 calories), about an hour beforehand
During Your Run – ü Gulp 6 to 8 ounces of water or other fluids every 15 minutes to stay hydrated ü If running over an hour, your body wants more than water, i.e. Gatorade, sports drink
Post Run – You’re starving after a three miler ü After an easy, short run, you haven’t burned a ton of calories or worked your muscles extremely hard, so usually there’s no need to eat ü If you are extremely hungry, fiber will help you feel fuller and more satisfied
Post Run – After a 45 minute run, you’re short on time ü For many runners, this type of workout is the backbone of their training, especially on time crunched weekdays ü For runs less than 60 minutes, don’t worry about getting exactly the right ratio of carbs to protein post run; rather, focus on eating foods that contain both
Post Run – You ran long and hard, and you’re tired ü When you run longer than an hour, you need to focus on refueling – and fast ü To know your carb needs, divide your weight in half to get your simple carbs within 30 minutes ü Within an hour of that snack, eat a full meal, ideally in a 4:1 carbs-to-protein ratio
Post Run – You feel queasy ü If your stomach feels upset after a run, its likely telling you its been stressed out – either by dehydration, too many gels, or from working hard to get fuel into your system ü Even though you might not feel like eating, doing so will help reduce that unsettled feeling and speed
Post Run – You ran at night, and bedtime looms ü Since you’ll be going to bed soon, you don’t want to eat too much, doing so regularly could lead to indigestion – and weight gain ü One way to prevent overeating after a late run is to have your last meal about two hours before you run
All Day Long ü Aim to get about 60% of your diet from carbs, 20% from lean proteins, and 20% from fat
