Official Training for the Mercedes Marathon & Half-Marathon Starts Soon!

 Official Training for the Mercedes Marathon & Half-Marathon begins Sunday, September 21st.  Join us at the Brownell Travel building at the intersection of Highway 280 and Lakeshore Drive at 6:30 that morning and let Coaches Al DiMicco and Ken Harkless help you get in shape for the Mercedes Marathon or Half-Marathon.  Try to get up to 3 miles for the half-marathon and 5 miles for the marathon by then so you'll have a good head start by the time training starts. And with the new "Alabama 3N3 Challenge" (run all 3 Alabama marathons in 3 months) happening this year, you may just want to go ahead and train for the full marathon.  Who knows, Mercedes may just be a little easier this time..........

 The Bell Center is dedicated to maximizing the potential of children from birth to three years of age who are at risk for developmental delay

Each year, hundreds of babies in the central Alabama area are born prematurely, or with spina bifida, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and a variety of other genetic disorders. These disorders are often accompanied by physical and mental challenges that jeopardize the health and development of these children.

The Bell Center offers treatment as soon as a child is diagnosed, often within a few days or weeks after birth. Parents often feel a sense of helplessness when they discover their child has special needs; however, the Bell Center staff and volunteers are able to provide them with specific information and encouragement allowing parents to move from a sense of confusion, to a deep pride in their children’s accomplishments and optimism for the future.

Programs at The Bell Center are designed to promote growth in gross and fine motor skills, as well as language, cognition, self-help, and play skills. Each child is evaluated annually, and goals are tailored specifically to the child’s needs. Trained volunteers carry out these individually prescribed programs under the close supervision of a team of fully qualified professional staff members including physically and occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, special educators, and a nutritionist. 

For more than 20 years, The Bell Center for Early Intervention Programs has provided treatment for children with special needs through its therapy programs. The program has provided dramatic results for the more than 600 children who have participated since its inception.

Everyone needs to come out and participate in our weekly group runs on Wednesday nights at the Homewood store.  Pace groups start at 5:30 p.m.  Some of our customers have expressed concerns about joining us for fear of not being fast enough and not knowing anyone. Don't stress, just ask one of the Trak Shak employees to help out. Be sure to show up a few minutes early so you can meet your appropriate group.  Eventually, you’ll learn the course and hook up with some folks your speed.  You’ll wonder why it took you so long to come out and join us!

The Trak Shak in Homewood is now using the iStep pressure plate and F.I.T. scanner to analyze our customers' feet. The iStep technology produces a digital image of your feet, accurately showing how weight and pressure are distributed. How does this help? Well, this information can help decide on the right type of shoe, the right size, the right orthotic, and help determine the source of nagging foot pain! Come by to see the BLUEPRINTS of your feet today!!!!


We'd like to take a moment to thank Nick Pihakis and the Jim 'n Nick's BBQ staff for their ongoing incredible support of Birmingham's running community.  It's rare to find such an unselfish person as Nick in this world today and we are ever so grateful to him for all his does for local runners.  So next time your thinking BBQ for you and your family, be sure to visit one of Jim 'n Nick's locations and let them know that we runners support them right back!
