Thank You

I read the Athlete Profile article it was great! The whole magazine looks really good, congratulations. I think that’s the best profile written on me, and you know there have been many. It turned out really nice.
Maribeth Cook, Saratoga Springs

Editor’s note: Congratulations to Maribeth and her mother, Marie, who competed in their fourth Freihofer’s Run for Women in Albany on June 3. Their time of sixty-two minutes was a personal best.

Bravo Sarah

I know what a lot of folks are thinking? When is someone going to do a story on Sarah Crary?? Well your wait is over (Athlete Profile, June). There is a profile in Adirondack Sports & Fitness, a new (free) publication available at the Chamber office.

Mud Season

I picked up a copy of your new magazine at Noon Mark diner in Keene. Had I actually read it before my hike, I would have probably picked another mountain. (“Avoid Trails Above 3,000 feet until Mid-June,” June). You are right—Wright was extremely muddy—but still fun!
Laura Clark, Saratoga Springs

Editor’s note: Laura’s been recruited, read her trail running article.

My Kind of Sports

Good luck with your publication. As an avid road cyclist, I’ve already gleaned some new cycling routes from your premier issue. By the way, nice shot of Lance Armstrong on the cover! I hope Adirondack Sports & Fitness finds itself a successful niche in the local market.
Jayson White, Glens Falls

I thought your newspaper was an interesting and refreshing look at sports
and fitness in our area. I particulary enjoyed scanning the Race Results,
and the upcoming Calender of Events was useful for planning my races. I'm
now looking forward to your newspaper each month. Good luck and keep up the good work!
Joel Melnikoff, Delmar

My neighbor gave me this copy. Congratulations, the magazine is really neat and has lots of good information in it—all in one place. Here’s a check for a 1-year subscription. I love the picture of your son, Justin! (And, the picture of Lance isn’t bad either!)
Pat MacKenzie, Clifton Park

As someone who loves enjoying sports both in the Capital District and the North Country I am most interested in your new magazine. Many thanks.
Hope Plavin, Niskayuna

I happened to see the first printed edition a few weeks ago; I thought it was a good start. There are a tremendous variety of recreational and competitive events happening in the area, and it's nice to see a single publication trying to portray that diversity. One element of the paper that I think is great is the local Athlete Profiles. There are a lot of recreational and competitive athletes participating in sports that never make it to the general newspapers. The folks who compete in many of these events are tremendously dedicated, balancing work, or school, family obligations and training, usually with little sponsorship and even less recognition. It would be great to bring well-deserved attention to them. Good luck with the paper.
Bob DuBois, Out of Control Ski Club, Albany

Editor’s note: If you know of an area athlete that should be considered for profile please submit their name, a brief background, and contact information.

I really enjoyed the first edition of Adirondack Sports & Fitness and think that it will be a huge success in this area.
Maureen Rose-Schmitz, Saratoga Springs

Thanks for dropping off copies of Adirondack Sports & Fitness at the Colonie Library. It looks like something our patrons would pick up in a hurry.
Greg Rucinski, Program Coordinator, Colonie Town Library

You are doing a great job. I liked your first publication and I can definitely see where it fills a gap and helps to bring more awareness of the Adirondacks.
John Borel, Saratoga Springs

Great job on the paper! I picked up a copy at Steiner’s Sports and got some ideas to get outdoors for my son's birthday from it. I took him (or should I say he took me) mountain biking down in Windham. As a result of an ad in your paper I promised to take him to dirt camp put on by High Peaks Cyclery. I may even learn how to handle some of the rocks that we encountered last week!
Bill Maurer, Delmar

Paper looks great, set us up for an ad!
Dr. Bradley Elliott, Chiropractor, Clifton Park

Editor’s note: Dr. Brad has also signed on as a contributor, read his “Back Breaking” article.

The premier issue of your new publication looks great. My husband, daughter and I really love hiking - so thanks for all that your magazine provides on that topic. I wish you lots of food fortune with it!
