Exercise. Eat low on theI food chain. It works. Think you’re too old to get with the program? As my friend Ramiro Galindo says: “Baloney.” You’ll read about Galindo, who will run the Scott&White Healthcare BCS Marathon + Half Marathon to commemorate the start of his 75th year of a healthy life, on page 22. Keep reading because the demographics of the estimated 3,000 other runners that will line up at the start of the December 9 marathon and half marathon will probably surprise you. Everyone in Bryan/ College Station should plan to line the course to cheer the runners at this top- ranked race. Didn’t know about the Kids MaraTHON where parents can run with the very youngest athletes? Check out page 23. We hope you enjoyed this month’s Insite Magazine launch party co-hosted by the Scott&White Healthcare BCS Marathon + Half Marathon and Brazos Running Company, the area’s only specialty running store. Owners Mike Nugent and Dan McClain have a backstory as unique as the specialty running and fitness gear they carry in the College Station store they opened in June. Both men had evaluated the local market as ripe for a specialty running store and were independently working toward opening CORRECTION when they met, ultimately deciding to make Jennifer Pocurull Brazos Running Company a partnership. Not only provided make-up does B/CS finally have a locally owned store that artistry for the Julia caters to runners, walkers, triathletes and fitness Get in Touch Gardner “Jewels In enthusiasts, it has two families passionate Our Community” July/ about all things running and all things August cover.

You’re not alone! Doctor Gloria Mays states, “Vein disease is more common than you might think; approximately half of women and men in the United States suffer from some type of vein problem in their legs.” To help identify the cause of leg problems originating from vein disease, Brazos Vein Institute, located in the St. Joseph’s Professional Building, offers Free Vein Screenings in Bryan and Brenham. Doctor Mays explains that screening is a 10- to 25-minute evaluation, which includes a medical questionnaire, an exam of the legs, and an ultrasound scan of the leg veins by a registered vascular technologist who specializes in venous disease.
