Sixth edition of TEDxAsburyPark
|
|
Saturday
|
May 19, 2018 |
Paramount Theater, Asbury Park
TEDxAsburyPark (formerly TEDxNavesink).
Passion drives ideas, people, and communities to action. Passion makes leaders. Passion combined with knowledge creates new ideas worth spreading. Passion can lead both to creation and destruction, to inspiration, suffering, grit, compassion, and extraordinary service.
TEDxAsburyPark discovers and curates more than 25 speakers, entertainers, and artists who will share their passion stories on the Paramount Theatre stage in an all-day event.
Of special interest to JSRC is speaker Annica
Lin - who will be running a half marathon before her talk on May 19.
 Annica Lin, "How does running marathons transform my life?"Self-proclaimed Iron Chef, Marathon Runner.
Annica spent her formative years in Taiwan, resolving to come to America to provide a better life for her family. To accomplish this, she saved up and bought herself a one-way ticket to NYC, where step by step, she worked herself up to her version of the American Dream. She earned a Master's degree at NYU, and rose through the ranks at a stock brokerage
on Wall Street. She later fell in love with digital media and decided to pursue it as her new career, becoming a Go
ogle-certified partner and working at advertising agencies. Through it all, she kept her passion for living her healthiest life. A self-proclaimed Iron Chef, she unintentionally discovered running in 2011. Struggling to run a mile on a dare, she stuck with the sport, and many enthusiastic years later, qualified for the Boston Marathon. She loves to share her passion for running and wants to help people fall in love with the sport.
Discount Code is JSRC and is good for 15% off reserved seats.

- Barry Goldberg- through races & Long Branch runs in the fall
- Joan Goodman - first meeting / friendly club from races /
- Girard Burke - new member / Holmdel walk and working on running.
Meet New Member Matt Erickson
I have been running for about 6 years now. I work as a project manager for an energy service company, and my interests include coffee, craft beer, and country music. I started running in college to lose weight and get in shape, and surprised myself when I fell in love with the sport as a way to relax and let off steam. I am just getting back into my routine after having ankle surgery last year, and currently run two to three miles miles three to five days a week. I run between an 8:30-10:00 min/mile pace, though I am working towards increasing my distance and pace to where I was before my injury. Previous 5K PR was 23:02 and longest distance logged was 9.35 miles. My favorite place to run is Holmdel Park but I typically run through my neighborhood. My motivation to join this group is to meet new people who love running and work towards getting back to running pain free!
