New “What is-up” group.
We are going to create a WhatsApp Messenger group for all Vaal Club members. This will
not be a group for chit-chat, but to inform all members of races, group runs, meetings and
other important Club related information. It is your choice if you would like to be in the group.
(Gys busy thinking on it !)
A word from the
Hallo alle Vaalies,
Dis amper ongelooflik om te dink dat driekwart van die jaar verby is. Met Oktober, die mooiste
maand wat voorlê, hoop ek julle almal is in goeie gesondheid … en goed oppad om fikser te raak. Vir
diegene wat nog leeglê, wees gewaarsku; die oefen pad terug na pad-fiksheid raak net al hoe styler
hoe langer jy wag. Vra maar die van ons wat net te lank gewag het na Comrades om weer te begin.
October is also the month during which many of the local and nearby racing events start taking place
again. First on the calendar is the Lite-to-Nite Relay and I hope all three our teams are ready to do
well and enjoy this unique and new local event. Later in the month it is the BASF run, hosted by
Mittal. A 32km slog, 21km jog or 10km run is catered for. Please support our local AVT races!
Please also remember to submit your achievements of the past running year so that you can be
given the recognition you so well deserve at our annual AGM and prize giving in early November.
After initially battling to get 1 team together, we now have 3 teams running. The Committee
was, mmm…, “Forced” to pay the entries on behalf of the runners. Thank you kindly.
Let nobody say; “The Club does nothing in return for me as a member”.
Each team must decide between themselves when each member is running. If a member
cannot run, he must get a substitute or refund the Club the entry fee. Guaranteed, this
member will not be popular as it will mean that the rest of the team must run much longer.
These are the 3 teams. Good luck and Enjoy!

„n Belangrike les oor die spoed van gebed. July 7, 2016 deur Stephan Joubert
Twee van die kortste gebede in die Nuwe Testament kom voor in die Lukas evangelie. In Lukas 18:9-14 hoor ons hoe die tollenaar in Jesus se gelykenis bid: “God, wees my, sondaar, genadig.” Net daar, in „n hemelse genade moment word sy gebed verhoor. Jesus vertel dat hierdie man huistoe gegaan het as iemand wie se saak met God reg is. Genadespoed is vinniger as lig. Dit tref jou elke keer wanneer jy bankrot voor God kom staan met niks anders as net jou sondes en jou stukkende lewe nie. Daar is geen spoedbeperking op God se genade nie. Hy is op sy beste wanneer ons sondes die grootste is. God kom op sy naaste aan ons wanneer ons op ons vêrste van Hom af is en dan uiteindelik met leë bedelaarshande voor Hom kom staan. Nog „n ander kort gebed in Lukas kom voor in hoofstuk 23 wanneer die man langs Jesus aan die kruis vra: “Dink aan my, Here, wanneer U in God se ryk kom.” Net daar, in „n hemelse genade moment, het Jesus geantwoord: “Vandag sal jy saam met My in die paradys wees.” Daar is nie tyd om te mors wanneer mense om genade bedel nie. Dan antwoord God elke keer teen genadespoed.
There is Good Medicine Available for Spiritual Amnesia 7 July 2016 Stephan Joubert
I am so easily forgetful. Let me be more specific: I become forgetful with great ease when it comes to God. I quickly forget that God‟s way is the best way to live when the demands of daily life overwhelm me as they so often do. My morning prayers quickly evaporate like mist when I simply listen to the daily news, let alone consider the challenges of my work, or the pervasive problems South Africa faces as a nation. In so many different ways, life tries to convince me that my faith does not have a place in real life. That is why it is my challenge to try and see God daily regardless of all the pain and uncertainties that my life holds. I desire to experience God in the midst of my own fears and uncertainty, as God is everywhere, always. He is still God. He hasn't given up on us or retired. God did not disappear because I suffer from spiritual amnesia. I simply need to exercise the muscle of my spiritual memory on a daily basis. How? Through returning to this core truth over and over again: Christ is with us all our days until the end of the world (Matt 28:20).
HEALTH INFORMATION.
Fun spring exercises to build bone density Health 24 05 SEPTEMBER 2016
Spring is the perfect time to kick-start a new fitness regime to get
you fitter and leaner – and build strong, healthy bones to boot. BROUGHT TO YOU BY Caltrate
Spring brings with it a feeling of renewed energy, making it the perfect time to either start a new fitness
programme or refresh your current one. So where do you start?
The benefits of exercise are numerous. It not only provides cardiovascular benefits to the heart and lungs,
and challenges and strengthens and improves muscle flexibility, but is also very good for strengthening the
bones.
Starting from childhood, regular exercise provides bone-building benefits right the way up to old age,
when strong bones will help slow bone loss and help prevent falls and breaks. As bone loss begins
gradually and naturally from the time you reach your mid-thirties, there is no time like the present to start
strengthening those bones.
A balanced mixture of weight-bearing and non weight-bearing exercises is the ideal combination to help
you get fitter, build stronger muscles and bones and boost your overall health from the inside out.
Weight-bearing exercises
Weight-bearing exercise, which forces you to work against gravity, is the best type for building strong
bones and lean muscles. Weight-bearing exercises can be high- or low-impact, and depending on your
fitness goal and fitness level, it’s a good idea
to include a combination of these exercises to keep the body challenged.
