Resources, Books and a new sustainabIe market

I am constantly meeting new people as Sobel Wellness grows. Two new people I came across and their centers are:

The Running Center LLC
NYC's First & Only Training Facility for Runners
461 Central Park West
New York, NY 10025

Ph: 212-362-3779
Fx: 212-362-5017

Coach Mindy will appear tomorrow evening on ABC's 20/20 at 10pm EST to discuss a new flip flop that actually makes you fitter. This should be interesting since the New York Times just published that the flip flop is quite dangerous for walking and posture - so I am eager to hear from Coach Mindy tomorrow evening. Read the New York Times article here: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/06/05/summer-flip-flops-may-lead-to-foot-pain/.

Matthew Grace who wrote a book called A Way Out. You can find more information about him on his website www.matthewgrace.com. Matthew is a personal trainer and raw foods enthusiast. I'm just getting to know his work, but it looks very interesting and I have just ordered a copy of his book.

Lastly, I just just made aware of a new sustainable market that has opened up in South Street Seaport called the New Amsterdam Market. This new market is hoping to become a permanent fixture, tons of local purveyors show off farm-fresh cheese, produce, meats, and prepared foods — with a focus on sustainability. The market will features breads, honey, mushrooms, and other mouth-watering groceries. It will be open Sundays from 11 a.m.-4 p.m at South Street Seaport, South St., b/t Beekman St. & Peck Slip.
