Meet at San Francisco Marriott Marquis on 55 4th Street at 5:50am for a 3.1 or 6.2 mile morning workout with Dee! Runners should be looking to pace at approx 9:30/10:30 minute mile. The course is a loop, so runners looking to cover 6.2 miles should run the distance twice. This will be a relaxed, longer distance run. We should return to the Marriott by 7:15.
Congratulations to our own Jessica Swanson, Personal Training Institute’s Director of Training. This past weekend, Jess ran her fastest yet Iron Man Competition in Lake Placid clocking in at 12 hours and 47 seconds.

Evelyn Knapp, co-founder of Personal Training Institute, spent a lifetime promoting exercise and proper nutrition to thousands. Her knowledge, motivation and dedication helped inspire countless individuals to engage in a healthier lifestyle. After being diagnosed with breast cancer, Evelyn continued exercising throughout treatment. She would say it gave her a feeling of control in an uncontrollable situation. From there she made a new commitment to promote exercise for cancer patients so they, too, would experience the benefits. In 2005 Evelyn lost her battle with breast cancer. However, her mission was not lost. Strength for Life was formed in Evelyn’s memory so we may continue her work and make her vision a reality.
Strength for Life is a 501 (c) 3 charitable organization providing free exercise classes and wellness weekends to cancer patients and survivors.
Congratulations to Kim Starbard of Personal Training of Guilford CT. From her own Facebook page -
Holy cow, I’m in! Kim Starbard, officially accepted to run the New York City Marathon November, 2010. Train, train, train….
Let us know who else is in as Team PTI.
Athough the 2009 Running of the Bulls Smithtown 5K race got off to a wet start, it didn’t stop trainers and clients alike from showing up to support team PTI Commack. A congratulations goes out to all the particpants who not only raced in the rain, but many of whom placed in their age groups (and went back to work after the race). Commack’s fitness manager Beau Fusco, along with Commack’s most seasoned trainer Vinny Delreyes, ran in under 26 minutes. Bianca Eckhoff and Alyssa Stare, also trainers from Commack, not only ran in the race, but placed first and second in their age groups! Of course our Director of Training Jessica Swanson took first in her age group and was second overall female. Several clients also participated and ran their personal best times!
A special thanks to Justin Guevara of PTI Smithtown and Dee Mullin who came out in the rain to help out and promote with us. Justin is running in the Chicago Marathon next week. This is his first marathon and we are all very proud of him for his hard work and dedication. We wish him the best of luck. We know he’s ready!
