This Running Life Original NC Roadrunners Still Trucking Along In the world of running, they say people who run together stay together. I was a stranger to running when I first joined the Galloway Marathon Training program about 10 years ago, so nervous about trying to run I forgot the location of the first meet-up and caught the group just in time to finish the last two miles of a three-mile outing. I had no idea what pace group I should follow, but the 11minute group turned out to be a good one for someone who felt like she would die and evaporate after a 45-minute 5K. Membership in the North Carolina Roadrunners Club came soon after, but I had to work up the nerve to join. It took an entire marathon to convince me I was finally a runner and therefore eligible to belong to the club. Oh the things you talk about over long hours of training and traveling to races together - the body parts you never knew you had until they started hurting. What happens when you consume too much gel. The best spots to squat in the woods. You learn that when you bend over to pick up a dropped water bottle and can't stand back up, someone's going to grab you around the waist, hoist you upright and never let you live it down. Today, some of my own great friendships were forged on the roadways and greenway trails, in the middle of marathons, at the volunteer tent, and through the NCRC. On a steamy Saturday morning last June, I spent a few hours celebrating true friendship with the very heart of the Roadrunners Club and walked away lifted up in the spirit of a sport that has little to do with actual running. It is about kindred spirits coming together from different walks of life into a brother-and-sisterhood, nurtured for decades across hundreds of miles and dozens of pairs of running shoes. Al Terry chronicles regular walks, breakfast meet-ups, birthdays and social gatherings in photos and postings on Facebook. And if you think these activities are something new, think again. Just ask Terry how long his group has been together, and he'll look thoughtful for a moment before he says, “about 40 years.” Back in 1979, when Tom Phillips started the North Carolina Roadrunners Club

By Teri Saylor

out of the Hackney's Sporting Goods store in Raleigh, a group of local runners were in their prime. Terry, who recently turned 81, was 36 years old. Bob Ross, 90 who blogs about his solo excursions to the USA's national parks and served two terms as the Roadrunners Club's president, was 54. Ken Long, who is now 87 and has moved on to become a gold medalist in the Senior Games, was 51. Today, a visitor is more likely to see hiking poles and hearing aids on display more than Garmins and iPods, though some of the members still run and haven't recovered from marathon fever. “I was 55 when I ran my first marathon,” Long said. “We all had marathon fever back then. The Chariots of Fire theme song was so inspiring to us.” The Roadrunner Club's very first group run took place in Umstead State Park in Raleigh with over 30 runners and a dachsund named Peanut Butter, according to the history. The club's first 5K was held on February 24, 1980 at 3:00 p.m. The entry fee was $2.50 for the general public and $1.50 for club members. That race has survived over the years and is now called the Run for the Roses, since it is so close to Valentine's Day. All of the female runners receive a rose at the finish line. The club's founders were Raleigh's race directors, long before the mega-races came to town. Before the Rock 'n' Roll races, the 13.1 series, the Ironman 70.1. Before road racing became an industry, the early Roadrunners Club members ran races with names like the Collard Festival Footrace, the Spivey's Corner Hollerin' Run, and the Charlotte Running Mates Road Race (for married couples only). The NCRC was a tight-knit group. They ran together on Saturday and

Sunday mornings and during the week. They targeted the Shamrock races in Virginia Beach and trained together to run marathons. In recent years, the club has traded in its weekend and Wednesday night runs for Thursday social runs during the summer. But Terry's group, the original NCRC, is still trucking along, keeping with the old schedule. Walking, running or cycling on the weekends and on Wednesday nights. Then they meet up for socializing over breakfast or coffee. “We've been hanging out all these years,” said Long. “Come September, we will have been together for 36 years. We've been friends for a long time.” The group spans generations, with runners and walkers in their 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. On that hot day in June, it was time for celebrations. Terry had just celebrated his 81st birthday and Iris Vinegar was celebrating her 89th. The group, which number nearly 20, served up an enormous chocolate cake, nearly as large as one of the tables set up in the food court at the Crabtree Valley Mall. The cake, thick with icing, was more than they could handle, so they passed slices around to others on the food court and to the servers behind the McDonalds counter. Vinegar ran marathons well into her 80s, including the Chicago Marathon in 2009, when she was 83. She thinks she may still have another big race in her and would love to go out by running the New York City Marathon. Rodney Johnson, one of the early NCRC presidents vividly remembers his 2:37 marathon PR before a terrible car crash destroyed his short term memory and put an end to his running days. But he's still a regular in the walking bunch. His running friends took care of him after the wreck and they look after him now. “This group is like a second family,” Terry said. “We're best friends. We all ran together. Now we walk together.” Sure, they are a little slower, a little grayer, but still fit, happy and moving. “We have a lot of memories to share, and we invent a few too,” said Long, laughing. “We're not so fast anymore, but our minds, hearts and souls work just

Running Through the Age Groups Aging Gracefully? I'm Fighting It All The Way July 4 was my 45th Birthday. I plan to run faster than I ever have in my life. Some would say there is no way I can post another sub-5:20 mile, sub-19:00 5K, sub-40:00 10K, sub-1:30 half marathon, or sub-3:15 marathon. Having lost what some would say were my best potential decades for running (my 20's and 30's) to injuries and surgeries, I guess I am more determined than ever to keep improving rather than succumb to the notion that I'll never be as good as I once was. And I am inspired, really inspired! Whether by accident, fate, or perhaps just having more awareness due to my own “advancing” age, I've noticed I'm in some pretty good company. It's amazing how many race results reveal that it's often the 40-somethings and even 50-somethings who are posting the overall fastest times in races. The reasons, I'm sure, are numerous, but I would suspect that this is partly due to our increased awareness of nutrition, exercise and other health-promoting lifestyles. It could also be due to the fact that by the time one reaches one's 40's, the

years of partying and child-rearing are largely in the past and you can concentrate on training. It could be the ability to train more consistently by making wiser choices in one's more mature years. Or it could be that all those fast folks with whom I competed in my teens are now also in their mid-40's and are still fast simply because they have always been fast! I'm sure it's a combination of factors, including but probably not limited to the above, but I for one am thrilled to witness and be able to be a part of this “fast masters” phenomenon, and I absolutely cher-

American Ninja Warrior! For those of you familiar with that program, you know! For those who've not watched it, it makes running a marathon look like a cakewalk. It's basically an obstacle course “on steroids,” involving obstacles which to me seem humanly impossible. Athletes from all over the country compete in qualifying rounds with the winner ultimately claiming a $1,000,000 prize. It is televised nationally and has become a cult-favorite of many “super-athlete wanna-be's” with delusions of grandeur. Chuck has trained tirelessly for the competition, with incredible routines, including up to 500 push-ups per day and 400-500 pull-ups a week! That would make even the youngest, most strapping men wither. I cannot do even one pull-up! And how about 92-year-old Harriette Thompson, who just set a new world record as the oldest woman to finish a marathon? Needless to say, this lady is not letting any grass grow under her feet! So, with all that said, I certainly don't think, nor do I want, to use advancing age as an excuse for not continually striving to improve my running. My improvement is happening; it's a bit slow, but it is definitely happening. Just the other day I took a look at some of my times from 10 years ago at age 35, and I am happy to report a significant improvement at all distances. I feel better, I'm completely pain-free and have been for some time now, I am ten pounds lighter, and I'm enjoying my running more than ever. Will I break 6:00 for the mile again? Will I run that 39-something 10K or that 18-something 5K? Well, only time can truly tell, but what I do know is that I will keep striving for these goals. Perhaps as I get older, I'll even go after some new ones (dare I say, American Ninja Warrior?!). One thing I've learned from the inspirational folks discussed above, and countless others, is that getting older doesn't have to mean hanging up those racing flats! It brings with it the wisdom earned from countless years of dealing with injuries and other adversity, up times and down times, races won and races lost. It brings with it the right to say you've known, watched and grown with some pretty incredible and inspirational athletes. It brings with it the hope of becoming a similar inspiration one day. It brings with it the joy of reliving runs and races past, and looking forward with excitement to those yet to come. In a word, getting older is a privilege not to be taken for granted, so all of you masters runners, both seasoned and new, no time is better than to present to set some lofty goals and go for them! Until next time, Happy Running!

ish being in the company of some incredible athletes! Here are just a few inspirational stories. Inspiration #1 is a member of the Wilmington Road Runners Club. She is in her mid-50's and routinely places in the top three overall in local races, usually against some pretty stiff competition. She can run a sub-21:00 5K, even in sultry mid-summer Wilmington races. Recently, she took First Grand Masters by a landslide at a mountain halfmarathon, running 1:43 on an extremely challenging course that involved climbing a mountain at ten miles. She left “yours truly” in the dust by some four minutes! I have known her and watched her over the past several years and she shows no signs of slowing down. Inspiration #2 is another local runner, about my age, and a member of the Grand Strand Running Club in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. She can fly through a 10K in under 42 minutes, and just recently won (I said won, as in First Overall Female) three marathons in three consecutive days out west. I was absolutely dumbstruck when I saw this result. Wow! Inspiration #3 is a runner by the name of Zola Petierse (formerly Zola Budd). Eons ago, when I was 15, I watched in amazement as this slightly-built, 18-year-old barefoot runner from South Africa came out of nowhere to wow the running world with record-setting times. Due to an unfortunate event at the Olympic Games wherein she was blamed for accidentally tripping then-favorite, Mary Decker Slaney, during the 1500 meter final, she fell largely out of the limelight for many years. Then, several years ago, she resurfaced in Myrtle Beach after having married and reared a family. I was thrilled to hear that my old idol had moved so close to home. Needless to say, I've gotten to witness her greatness first-hand in several local races. Now, even at age 49, she continues to fly, more often than not taking First Overall Female; she can still run half marathons in 1:21. Then there's Inspiration #4. I really cannot say enough about this guy as I have known him as an exceptional runner and athlete my entire life. He is 72 and lives in Oak Island, North Carolina, not far from Wilmington. I recall fondly the days he and his wife hosted me on trips to races in South Carolina when I was barely old enough to drive. His name is Chuck Mammay (and did I mention that he is now 72), he is a great- Mary Margaret can be reached at grandfather, and he competes on mmmceachern@bellsouth.net

Running Journal • August, 2015

Learning from the Young Guns Adapting Your Training to the Summer Heat We all have that grueling summer running story, the one we’ll never forget. Mine was during college, and I was home for the summer visiting my family in Indiana. At the beginning of preparation for my senior cross country season I had been getting up early to beat the Arizona heat, which by this point regularly topped out over 100 degrees. Now I grew up in the oppressive heat and humidity of the Midwest, but after the scorching temperatures in Arizona, I figured I should be able to handle sleeping in and running my easy 6 miles later in the morning. Of course I did, college kids don’t know anything. What followed was the slowest, most painful 6 mile run of my life. I knew I was in good shape, but afterward, as I lay sprawled on my parent’s living room floor fighting waves of nausea, I was having serious doubts. The summer heat challenges the psyche, but if you can focus more on effort instead of pace, especially on your easy days, you’ll reap the rewards when the temperature drops. This is often easier said than done, but there are some workout tricks you can use to make it a little easier to get the most out of your summer training without running yourself into the ground. Summer tends to be the season for shorter races, and one of the biggest mistakes we as coaches see people make when they train for shorter races is to cut out the tempo work and focus solely on speed. The tendency to gravitate toward shorter, faster workouts is compounded by the heat and humidity of the summer where longer, tempo based work is more onerous. Keeping tempo based work as a regular part of your program is critical to short-term and long-term success, even over shorter races like the 5K. And while going out for a long tempo effort in high heat can quickly turn an intended 85% effort into a race effort, you can break that tempo effort up into shorter pieces while still getting in a good workout. This will allow your body to cool a bit throughout the workout and prevent your heart rate from maxing out as it works double time to cool and propel. Tempo based intervals are a great tool to have in your workout routine year round, and the idea is to complete the interval distance, I frequently use 1 mile intervals, feeling like you could continue

By Ryan Warrenburg, ZAP Fitness

to run at that pace for twice the distance. In between the intervals you should take short recovery, for mile repeats use a recovery interval of 1-2 minutes, and even when you finish the workout you should feel like you could do a few more repeats at that pace. During the warm summer months you can use shorter intervals to get the same workout while reducing the risk of over heating. Two examples of this type of workout are: 1) 3-4 sets of (4 x 400 meter repeats) with 45-60 seconds rest between the repeats and 2-3 minutes between the sets. Start the workout 2-3 seconds per 400 slower than 5K pace and finish at 5K pace. 2) 6-8 x 800 meter repeats with 90 seconds rest between each. Start this workout 4-5 seconds per 800 slower than 10K pace and finish at 10K pace. Remember to finish each of these workouts at an effort where you feel like you could do a few more without a problem. The tempo-based component is even more critical for people that race frequently. If you race every week or two then you are getting a very high intensity workout every time you race, and if you’re coupling that with high intensity speed workouts every week the risk of burn-out, injury, and plateauing rises dramatically. Being able to focus more on effort than on pace is an important skill, especially during the summer months, and the best way to do that is to make the design of your workouts effort based. Fartlek running is an excellent way to forget about the pace for a while and get in tune with the feedback your body is providing you. Fartlek running is designed to be effort based and the pickups should be based on duration rather than distance. Take that structure to the next level by determining the number of pickups you’ll do during the run ahead of time and then don’t even time them, use landmarks as to where

you’ll start and stop. You’ll get a great workout without the added stress of hitting predetermined paces. Perhaps my favorite way to remove the stress of predetermined paces, especially during the summer, is to do a hill workout. Hills provide the aerobic benefit of a speed without the quantitative feedback that can shatter your confidence in the stifling summer heat. Hill running also helps improve running mechanics by strengthening your legs with far less impact stress of running hard on a flat surface. One of the best ways to mix up your routine any time of the year is a descending duration hill workout. For example, after you are warmed up and ready to run quicker, find a relatively steep hill and do three sets of the following: 60 seconds uphill followed by an easy jog back to the bottom, 40 seconds uphill followed by an easy jog back to the bottom, 20 seconds uphill followed by an easy jog back to the bottom. Take 12 minutes rest between sets and try to start conservatively so you can get a little bit farther with each set. In order to effectively navigate the heat of the summer in the southeast you must be sure to recover on your easy days by listening to your effort and not your pace,

but it’s also important to do the same on your hard days. You’ll make much bigger gains and have more for race day if you keep the workouts a bit easier in the summer heat.

Running Through the Bluegrass Shannon Knabel Fast and Amazing â&#x20AC;Ś For master's runners, the reality is that you'll reach a day where you will only get slower. That is, unless you're my friend and Team New Balance Louisville teammate Shannon Knabel. Shannon was a four-time state champion in high school, in northern Ohio, and ran collegiately for the University of Kentucky in the middle distances. She wrapped up her collegiate career, got married, started a family, and finished her Master's degree in secondary education. She didn't run much for years. She and husband Tom had six children -- six! Their eldest had significant special needs that were Shannon's priority. She paused her teaching career to be a stay-at-home mom, with little time to run. Tom still serves as principal of the public special needs school their eldest attended, and he's training for his first Ironman. It was after their eldest, Megan, passed away in 2011, at age 14, that Shannon became running again. Running was a way to fill the time previously dedicated to Megan's care. And Shannon got fast. At that time she

was already a master's runner. She posted several times in the mid-19s for 5k, a 41:19 10k and a 70-minute 10 miler. Not a bad comeback for anyone, especially at 42. The next year, she notched an 18:39 and her 10 mile time dropped 4 minutes. 2014 was a breakthrough year (during which I got thrashed by her numerous times), culminating with a lifetime best in the 5k of 17:35 - at age 45. An injury late last year set her back a bit but she completed Louisville's Triple Crown of Running - a 5k, 10k and 10 miler each held two weeks apart - as the

fourth-fastest female to complete all three legs. She led the New Balance Louisville women's racing team to a team title in its debut year, posting an 18:51 5k, 38:19 10k and a 64:33 for the 10 miler. I met Shannon 3 years ago at a little race

in Crestwood. I was just getting back into running after an injury but it was a little race and I didn't see a lot of competition. Shannon was dressed really unassumingly - basic tank top, trainers, Nike tempo shorts. When the gun sounded, she took off. I remember thinking, either she'll blow up hard and come back to you, or you have no chance and there's no point trying to chase her. She beat me by 2-anda-half minutes that day. And was so nice afterwards - no ego in her at all. This spring, I almost caught her at the Anthem 5k. Shannon was only 11 seconds ahead of me, and I've never seen someone so happy to see me so close. I was truly touched by how excited she was to see me succeed. When I had a bad race two weeks later, she reminded me to not get frustrated about one race. There is no doubt she's the top female master's runner in the Louisville running community -- but even more importantly, no doubt she is an amazing person and friend. Tracy Harris Green is a runner and writer in Louisville, KY, where she lives with her husband. She races on the New Balance Louisville team and is the Director of Communications and Development for a public school district. Find her on Twitter @tracygreen or at tracyfgreen.wordpress.com.

lenge,” he added, but “did not imagine that I would qualify for the Olympic Team.” Among his many coaching achievements: “I have no idea how many people have used my training programs but I have heard back from over 300,000 who have had success by using my method. Every day I hear from about 100 runners who have changed their lives by using my program. Many say they could not even think about running until they used my Run Walk Run strategies.” His advice: “Beginners should start by running 5-10 seconds and walk the rest of each minute. Start with 10 minutes and increase by 3 minutes a day until 30 minutes is easy. Then increase the run by 5 seconds, decrease the walk by 5 seconds.” Older runners maintain control over their aches and pains and fatigue by adjusting the Run Walk Run amounts and nutrition as noted in my book 'Running Until You're 100'.” With his busy schedule, including travel and speeches, how does he stay motivated: “As I talk to runners, I enjoy being Atlanta, a celebration of the life-chang- Street triggered the idea that I might be able to solve problems as they improve ing benefits of fitness and running.

The event is Dec. 11-13 with the featured half-marathon on Sunday, Dec. 13, and the 5K on Saturday, Dec. 12, when the Fit Kids Run/Walk will also be held. The event is hosted by Phidippides, which he founded in 1973. The kids event is significant for Galloway. “As I researched my book 'Fit Kids - Smarter kids,' I discovered how powerful exercise - and especially running - is in learning, attitude, energy, and motivation.” The kids' runs are free and he wants to have a free fitness clinic for kids, too. Galloway was on the American Olympic Team in 1972, running in the 10,000 meters at Munich, Germany. Qualifying for the team was “life changing. It set me on a quest to see how I could us my talents to help others benefit from the amazing activity of running.” Galloway won the very first Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta in 1970. He recalled he had “only been back home for a week from my three-year Navy service when my good friend Tim Singleton asked me to run in his new race. It was the first road race in Atlanta using a major street. Most of the 110 who participated knew one another. There were no nationally ranked runners but winning a race on Peachtree

Jeff Galloway Turns 70, Going Strong By Bruce Morrison Running Journal Publisher

On July 12, Jeff Galloway, America's running coach, became 70 and he said he doesn't “feel any different than when in my 20's and 30's. I run slower but that doesn't bother me. I wrote my book 'Running Until You're 100' and I'm sticking with it.” He averages 35 miles week and runs a marathon and a half marathon about every month. His advice to senior runners: “There are several components in my Galloway Training Program that have reduced injury. Run Walk Run has been the most significant. By adjusting the amount of running and the amount of walking each day, the aches and pains either go away or can usually be managed.” On his birthday he ran his 200th marathon -- the Missoula, Montana Marathon - and plans to keep running marathons “as long as I can finish under the time limit.” He brainstorms while running, noting that research shows running turns on the frontal lobe “executive brain.” He gets ideas on every run. In fact, he's working on an expanded version of 'Mental Training' with “tools to activate the brain, improve motivation, push through mental barriers, and enjoy every run.” His revised 'Run Walk Run' book will be out later this year. In December, he will again have the Jeff Galloway Race Weekend in

Distance Memories Baby, The Rain Must Fall I run for many reasons. It's good for the body, mind and soul. It allows me to eat an extra dessert (or two) relatively guiltfree. It makes me feel good (most of the time, anyway). It gives me a pair of legs to die for (discuss quietly among yourselves). In other words, it's no secret I love running. It's also no secret I've done a lot of the things I've done simply because I made them a goal and I did whatever it took to make them happen: -- Running a mile without stopping. -- Running a10K without stopping. -- Qualifying for the Boston Marathon. -- Running the Boston Marathon. It's also no secret I've done a lot of the things I've done simply because they seemed like a good idea at the time: -- Running 135 miles across Death Valley in temperatures very, very close to the number of miles. -- Entering the Western States Endurance Run-twice, actually-when I had absolutely no business running on trails. (If Montrail named a shoe after me it would be the Nontrail. If New Balance named a shoe after me it would be the No Balance. Any questions?) It's also no secret I've done a lot of the things I've done simply because it gave me something interesting to write about: -- Running the Boston Marathon course in reverse, then turning around and running it the correct way with everyone else on Patriot's Day. -- Running the Peachtree Road Race from the very back of the pack. In other words, starting behind 59,999 other runners for a 6.2-mile run on the 4th of July in downtown Atlanta. Finally it's no secret I do a lot of the things I do simply because. In other words I'm prone to putting requirements on myself that no one in the solar system gives a rat's a** about other than yours truly. Such as: -- Running every day since November 30, 1978 (with no end in sight). -- Running 1,000 races, 200 marathons and 50 ultras (two down, one to go). -- Running 150,000 lifetime miles (ETA 2019). -- Running 50 consecutive Peachtree Road Races (ETA 2028). Ah, that last one. Fifty consecutive Peachtree Road Races. Having just crossed the finish line for the 37th time,

By Scott Ludwig

I'm beginning to question if I still have 13 more of them in me. Allow me to explain. The Peachtree Road Race assigns runners a starting corral. My finish time in last year's Peachtree qualified me for a spot in Time Group A, which basically means you are assigned to a corral close enough to the starting line that you can read the word 'START' on the banner across Peachtree Street and in all probability will finish the race in well under an hour. (Time Groups B through L will finish the race in less than two hours, M through V in less than three hours, and W through Z sometime during the month of July. I jest, of course: almost everyone in W through Z time groups finished in time to see the fireworks later that same night.) Anyway, I opted to start in Time Group L with my friend Valerie who submitted her application for the race without a projected finish time and was at the mercy of the Atlanta Track Club's method of random Time Group assignment. Valerie and I ran our first Peachtree together in 1994. Incidentally after that race it rained for two days (the result of tropical storm Alberto) in the Atlanta area, causing floods that resulted in considerable damage and the loss of 30 lives. As we were driving to the race there was an interview with a former Director of the Peachtree Road Race on the radio. As the skies overhead became darker and darker I heard her say that the chances of lightning in Atlanta in the morning were pretty slim because most of the storms in the area occurred in the afternoon. I couldn't help but think those words should not have been said aloud, especially in a forum that could be heard by many. Moments later the rain came; it wouldn't stop for hours. For the first time in my Peachtree Road Race career I would be running from Lenox Square to Piedmont Park in the rain that, to be totally honest was a lot more pleasurable than the usual

www.running.net heat and 100% humidity we've all come to know and abhor. As I've done for the past decade, we parked near the finish line and ran to the start. Taking the back roads Valerie and I ran (and occasionally walked) a slow and easy five-mile warm up. Wearing my Time Group A number, I stood out like a sore thumb standing next to Val in Time Group L. Actually, I stood out like a STUD - remember, I was amongst runners who hoped to finish in modest times in the one-to-two hour range and my number indicated I was a STUD. (Pardon my use of Exaggeration Font. I don't get to use it often.) Every three minutes another wave of runners was allowed to start the race. Every three minutes volunteers led the runners in Time Group L another 100 yards closer to the starting line. Every three minutes the sky grew darker and darker. The race officially started at 7:30 a.m. By my calculation Time Group L's projected starting time would be around 8:30. Then, at 8:24 a.m. it happened. A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. The announcer on the PA system immediately said the race had been suspended, the timing system would be stopped, everyone would be led to safe quarters and the race would resume in 30 minutes unless more lightning was spotted. Surely he realized there were thousands of runners spread out all over Peachtree Street; did he expect everyone to stop, mark their spot on the course and seek shelter? Val and I looked around and we knew what had to be done. Others had the same idea as well. In a driving rain and with the wind in our collective faces, we all took off running down Peachtree Street like bats out of hell, timing system be damned. We were running this race come hell or (forgive me) high water. As far as we were concerned Time Group L had heard a public cry for a JAIL BREAK over the public address system. From what I saw the same can be said for Time Groups J, K and M. I'm guessing Time Groups N through Z heard it as well. There would be very little need for the 'safe quarters' that the announcer had made reference to. Not today anyway, because today we were here to run. As Val and I left Lenox Square behind us, I couldn't help but notice that had I started with Time Group A moments after 7:30 a.m. I would have already crossed the finish line. As it were it was already 8:30 and I was just starting the race, and as far as I knew I wasn't even an official runner since the timing system had allegedly been stopped. I wondered if my streak of Peachtree Road Race finishes

was in jeopardy, but I didn't care: I was not going to wait in the pouring rain for 30 minutes, resume my position with Time Group L and continue the 100yards-every-three-minutes march towards the starting line. As it turned out the 6.2 miles down Peachtree Street was quite pleasant. The steady rain and gentle breeze kept the runners cool if not hydrated. Val had (what she said afterward was) her best run in years. We crossed the finish line in a little over an hour, collected our commemorative finisher T-shirts and headed back to the car. As we made our way across the grass of Piedmont Park I couldn't help but think of the Woodstock music festival: There was mud everywhere. The rain and the runners were certainly taking their toll on this most unusual 4th of July. Once we got back to the car we changed into dry clothes. I placed my running attire in a plastic bag and tied it shut, making a mental note to throw all of the contents into the washing machine once I got home. (Runners-you all know the drill: Wash the clothes today or burn them tomorrow.) Overall this year's Peachtree Road Race was a good experience, with the exceptions of paying $15 to park for 15 minutes so you can run into the expo to pick up your race number and a goodie bag featuring nothing more than a coupon for a free waffle, a $500 discount on a new Mercedes Benz and a plethora of advertisements. My 37th Peachtree Road Race finish was in the books. Maybe. (Later I would learn the timing system had never been turned off. Valerie and I both received official finishing times. Next year Valerie hopes to qualify for a starting position in Time Group B, if not A. Fortunately for me I will still be eligible for Time Group A. After next year I may find myself at the mercy of the Gods of random Time Group Assignment. If that's the case, thenGodhelpme.

Masters Running 35 Years of Running - A Journey through Time Recently I rediscovered a picture that carried me down memory lane. It's from a women only race called the Lady Equitable 10K, in Baltimore, MD, March 1980. Jimmy Carter was president when this picture was taken, and I was still in my 20s. I am in the front, on the left, with the Haverford AC shirt. We are in the early stages of the race, having probably completed about half a mile. I can still remember this day. I was pumped up after a winter season in Philadelphia with no races. And I had heard there were more than a thousand women entered in this 10K run. Still I was going for the win, and was pretty confident this was possible. That was until I arrived on site, and saw all my fellow entrants! They were everywhere, milling around, stretching, and waiting in line for the porta-johns. And I remember asking myself: “Will I really be able to run faster than ALL these women”? I wasn't. One runner was faster than me that day. I finished second, behind Jennifer White. I still remember the name of the runner who beat me, even though I didn't know who she was before the race, and didn't hear much about her afterwards either. Her time was in the low 35's, and I ran 35:17, my best time ever on the distance. Along with my personal best in the marathon (2:44:10 at the 1983 New York City Marathon), this is probably the best time I have run at any distance. It's hard to fathom now that it is 35 years since this picture was taken. Sometimes it feels like it was yesterday, even though so much has changed since that day. It was a different era in running then, before prize money was a factor in road races, and before we saw African and other foreign runners on the US running circuit. Even African Americans were a rarity at road races in those days, although coincidentally there are two of them in the picture. I recognize the runner on the left (right behind me) as Marilyn Bevans, a frequent race participant and award winner during the late 70's and early 80's. It is also difficult for me to imagine that I was able to run a 10K that fast - or maybe how much I have slowed down since then. My most recent 10K was in May this year, when I completed the NCRC (North Carolina Roadrunners Club) Classic in 54:43. This is almost 20 minutes slower than that day in 1980, which translates to more than three minutes per mile! My times on other distances have also slowed down with about the same amount. It is when I toe the starting line in a race that I become reminded of the passage of time, and of that I am getting older. I might still feel like I am the young woman in the

picture, at least on good days. Feeling strong, pushing myself to the limit. The effort feels the same. But when it can be measured (as in a road race) I can clearly tell that I have changed. And so has the running scene! It's not without nostalgia that I am looking at this picture from a bygone era, when most of you who read this probably hadn't yet started running. There may even be a few of you who weren't born by then. Had I been running the pace I do today during this 1980 race, I would probably have been in the back of the pack. And at age 64, I may also have been the oldest entrant. Runners were both younger and faster in those days, and many took their racing quite seriously. They were lean and fit, and were going for a fast time every time they entered an event. There were also few active masters runners back then. Many local races didn't have

a single female runner over 50. Awards were in ten year age groups, often ending at age 50+. To get a medal you had be a top finisher, overall or in your age group depending on the race. Some races didn't give out medals, but trophies instead. A few even had gift certificates, usually to a running store. There were no prize money, although larger and more prestigious races would still give awards of value to top finishers, like silver bowls or pewter plates. Running began to change when money found the sport. Some of you may remember the 1981 Cascade Run Off in Portland, OR. Even if you didn't run this race, chances are that you have heard of it since it was here runners openly accepted prize money for the first time. As prize money became more commonplace, there was also an influx of foreign runners on the US circuit. In the men's division they were mostly from Kenya and other African countries, for the women at first primarily from Russia and a few other European countries. But soon Africans joined the ranks in the women's division too. Lean, swift, and very talented, these runners captured our attention, and added another dimension to our sport. The two phenomena (foreign runners and prize money) were undeniably related. American elite runners often found themselves having a hard time finishing “in the money” in major races. So some races introduced a special purse for Americans only.

Smaller races also offered prize money sometimes, but on a more modest scale. In these races “second tier” runners like I could sometimes get lucky and win a few bucks. My biggest break came in the 1985 Charlotte Marathon, where I took first place and with it $2,000 in prize money! This was my biggest payday ever in a single race. There were changes for middle and back of the pack runners also. Charities discovered they could raise significant amounts by organizing programs like Team in Training, where runners received coaching, support, and free entry to a major event in exchange for raising money for their cause. Other beginner runner programs started to appear also, many under guidance by coaches certified by the RRCA (Road Runners Club of America). Folks discovered that “anybody can be a runner”, and we experienced exponential growth in the number of races and the number of finishers in each. At the same time we saw the median times become much slower, as many runners were not going for time, but “just” to finish. The median age in races has also risen, from the 20s in the 1980s to late 30s today. And we have more runners age 40 or older than ever before. Most races adapted to this trend and started to offer five year age groups. Today, the oldest group is usually age 60+, at least. Some go up to age 70+, or even older. Many older runners (I for example) are the same people who were racing during the 1980s. Others are relative newcomers, who entered the sport during their 40s or 50s. We old-timers have paved the way and shown that it's perfectly fine to be a runner in the second half of our lives. Personally I proved my father wrong when he said I wouldn't be able to run in my middle age, and therefore encouraged me to take up tennis instead! Overall the increasing popularity of running is a good trend, since it has gotten a lot of people off the couch. But the running landscape has also become harder to navigate. We have more choices of races each weekend. Sometimes we face decisions whether to run a race managed by a 'for profit' company (which gives you more bells and whistles but charges more) or stick to smaller races with more of a hometown flair. Unfortunately we also need to keep a watchful eye on scammers, who apparently have discovered road races as another place to cash in. Time will move on and the running scene will continue to evolve. But the snapshot from 1980 will always capture that moment in time when running was a simpler, yet at the same time tougher pursuit than it is now. And if we pare it down to the essentials of running, it's the same now as it was back then. We pick up our feet, one at a time, and celebrate once we cross the finish line!

coaching you. Do you feel this has helped your running? Absolutely! I feel so blessed to have them as coaches! Andrew is very quiet and humble about it but he is extremely knowledgeable and talented when it comes to the science behind running and how to program workouts, strategies for everything from the competition to the weather, course, etc. My biggest challenge in coaching myself has always been how to peak optimally more than once in a 4-6 month period. Andrew has done an outstanding job of this with me. I am very grateful to him! As for Amy, I have admired her tenacity and mental toughness as a runner/racer for years. I remember watching her Olympic Trials 10k when she made the U.S. Team...that last lap she ran will always stay with me. The mental strength and will it took for her to master her mind over her body during that race was so inspiring! She is the real deal. Even though I don't get much direct contact with her I feel her presence and her influence over the team and myself. They are a very selfless couple and give so much back to our sport...I am excited to see what the future holds for the ATC under their guidance as coaches! Rich Kenah, as the ATC executive director, also has been a great mentor and blessing to the ATC. It makes a huge difference when the people coaching and leading your team/club understand what it is to truly love the sport of running, and to be able to directly relate to the work, sacrifice, and passion it takes to succeed. We have at least 3 Olympians leading us...I get fired up just thinking about it! What goals do you have for future races? What are you planning to run at nationals in July? I am leaving for Eugene on Friday to race in the Masters Invitational 3k (Saturday) at USA Nationals. So my first goal is to win that race for the ATC and run a great time! My next goal is to place in the top 3 of the Masters Division at the Atlanta Peachtree 10k on July 4th. I am not sure who is showing up to race this year but I know Colleen De Reuck and Jen Rhines raced last year and are brilliant at that distance and beyond. 10k is a bit out of my comfort zone but it will be a welcome change from the track and I am ready to race hard and leave it all on the course! My final track meet will be US Masters Nationals in Jacksonville in late July. I am racing the 800m and the 5000m on Thursday, the 1500m on Friday and probably the 4 x 400 and 4 x 800 Relays (my favorite!) on Sunday. My goal for that meet is to win all of my events, be there to support my teammates during their races and score as many points for the ATC as possible! How do you fit your family into your busy schedule? Late nights and early mornings! I don't always succeed at this but I try to never miss the big things (for a race or work) like important VB games for Brianna, school award or graduation ceremonies...the reason I am not going to the Masters World Championships in France in August is

Sonja Friend-Uhl Masters The Running World Usually at this time I am writing my annual report on my favorite marathonGrandmas. But for the first time in 21 years I had to miss it and Peachtree (more than 21 years!) to take care of my dear husband Steve. But I must admit that both events proceeded in style without me and Steve could not have done without me. During these trying months I have come to appreciate the love and support of my friends. One of my strongest supporters is my Atlanta Track Club Elite teammate Sonja Friend-Uhl. Sonja is one amazing woman and has been taking the world of masters ladies by storm. I caught up with her right before she dominated the invited masters field at the USATF Nationals. She won the 3000 by nearly a minute over 8 other super masters! Give me a little background on your school, family, job, and interests besides running. I graduated from The College of William & Mary (VA) in 1993. I was recruited for XC and Track by then Coach Pat Van Rossum and was on a full athletic scholarship all 4 years. I also met my husband Brad there. He was also a scholarship athlete for football (record setting outside linebacker) I love music and I love to play piano. I play piano to this day and love it very much. It soothes me! I also am an avid reader...absolutely love to lose myself in a book! My immediate family includes my husband, Brad and my daughters, Brianna (an aspiring Volleyball player turning 14 in August) and Alexa (6) who fears nothing and has boundless energy so I am thinking another track athlete maybe in the family! My career from the start has revolved around the fitness industry. I received my first personal trainer / fitness instructor certification in 1996 and was hired as a General Manager of a small fitness center in Pittsburgh when I was 27 years old. We moved to South Florida for Brad's job in 1998 and I was really able to learn, grow and flourish in that environment as a fitness professional. This was great because a career in fitness was the perfect compliment to my goals as a competitive runner. For 10 years now I have been a Lead Master Trainer for one of the top fitness equipment manufacturers, Star Trac (owned by Core Health & Fitness) which allows me to travel the country providing consulting and training on our equipment. In December of 2014 I joined the team of Cool Springs, MD, here in Brentwood, TN, to help launch their Physical Wellness Center, which I now manage. I am certified by ACE, ACSM, and AFAA. My first love however is COACHING runners! I have not been able to do it full time yet due to my children and their schedules/needs but I hope to someday. I am certified through USATF and have been fortunate to have coached recreational, youth

and competitive runners (track distances through the marathon) since 1999. Coaching gives me such joy...I absolutely love it! When did you first start running? My first competitive running experience was with the 50m dash for the ARCO Jesse Owens Games back in 1980. We lived in Washington State at the time. I joined the NW Washington Striders and competed in AAU youth meets during the summers, made it to nationals in the 400m (62 seconds) in 1984. We raced in the LA Coliseum the year of the Olympics...that inspired me! Middle School and High School Track followed. I was a 400m, 800m and 4 x 400, 4 x 800 runner throughout. I ran cross-country as well in HS (Cape Henlopen in Lewes, DE), but didn't "acquire" a love for it until college. What appeals to you about our sport? Why do you run? It is so pure to me. Meaning no matter who you are, where you came from or what else may be going on in your life, what you put into running you will get out of it. You don't NEED fancy equipment, a facility, a team...you can just walk out of your door and run! I love the simplicity and honesty of that. I also am constantly motivated by the idea that I can measure my goals and progress and that the possibility of improvement always exists...mine for the taking if I am willing to be a committed student of my sport and work hard. This of course has been more of a challenge as I have aged but the lure is still there. It is also a tremendous THERAPY for me. Running not only is a physical release to me but it is a mental and emotional one as well. Getting into a calming rhythm during a long run or feeling empowered and on fire during a speed workout or a race is pure bliss in my book. Everyone has their personal trials and hardships...I am no different. I am a spiritual person and believe in a higher power but I also believe that God gave me running as a gift or a "tool" for my life and I intend to honor that for all of my days. It is also why I believe I am inspired to coach and share my love of running with others. I feel a pull/need to pay it forward. What records do you currently hold? World Masters Female (40-44) Indoor

Mile: 4:44.84 American Masters Female (40-44) Outdoor Mile: 4:45.68 American Masters Female (40-44) Indoor 3000m (9:50.37) American Masters Female (40-44) 1500m in 4:16>99 World Non-Club 4 x 800m Relay (40-44) with Grace Padilla, Jennifer Mark-Burke & Lisa Ryan How did you feel when you recently set the US Master's mile record? Elated, Relieved, GRATEFUL. Each year it gets a little harder to believe that amazing (by my own standard) race TIMES are still possible for me. That race was a huge validation of a lot of hard work and faith, not only from myself but my support system including my family, team (ATC) and coaches (Andrew & Amy). What is your typical training? I am NOT a high mileage runner. I average 40-45 miles per week during indoor/outdoor (February - July) which includes a 9-10 mile long run on the weekends. During the Fall and Winter I may go as high as the low 50's. Unless I am on a true break between seasons, I keep some form of speed (efficiency) work in my weekly regimen. During XC season this may be hill repeats or a fartlek session, during track it will usually be more technical like 150m accelerations + Plyo and short full sprints (30-60m) with complete rest between. I also try to always get in some form of lactate threshold work once every 10 days or so. This comes in many different forms (everything from 5 x 5:00 tempo paced intervals to a 30:00 steady state to a 60:00 progression run but I try to keep that a staple. I am a speed/strength based runner so I need to always stay close to that kind of training...my body just feels better and moves better when I do. But if I neglect the LT my fitness is not on par. The race paced intervals are reserved for different prep segments each season and they vary. The hardest ones for me are repeat 1000's or 1200's at 3k pace. Concentration and patience are still things I work on! But now I have Andrew to figure all of that out for me! Do you do cross training? What type and how often? I love to strength train! I do either a circuit of calesthenics specific for runners or a heavy lift (dead lifts, bench, squats, rows, etc.) and core work 2-3 times each week pre season and during the season. I back off to 2 x week during the championship season and I do not do a heavy lift 4-7 days before a big race. I also use the elliptical or the spin bike when I feel my legs need a break from the pounding or just to get in some extra cardio work. I will probably do more of the cardio cross training once my race distances increase in the Fall. I know Andrew and Amy Begley are now CONTINUED ON PAGE 16

because it is the girls' first week back at school. Brianna is starting high school this year and I just cannot justify being absent and so far away during such a milestone for her. I'm her mom! I need to be here. I also try to be open with them and include them in my running/racing. They don't often travel with me or watch me race but I do think they understand why I do it. They see my highs and lows and they see me put in the work behind the achievements. I hope I am setting an example for them that they should never stop trying or reaching for their dreams and goals in life. While THEY as my children are my greatest legacy, I know I am a better mom, wife and person because of running/competing. On an intrinsic level I think they realize this... As we are all getting older what would you say are the best ways to stay motivated as you get older? I am still figuring this out...but I think the key is to stop comparing your race times or running capability to what you did when you were 20, 30, or even 40 and start basing your NOW on how well you manage the challenge (s) in front of you TODAY. I am learning the farthest I should really look back (if at all) is within a season. Beyond that it is out of my control. Even when I was very young (20's) my best races happened when I was purely being open, grateful, and PRESENT in my efforts without focusing on expectations. We are older but wiser...I have learned to use that experience to my benefit both in how I train and how I race. I also have learned from previous mistakes and am more willing to rest now or do the little things that add up to a big difference. Finally, I encourage anyone 40 and over to reach out to the wonderful community of Masters runners around the U.S. and the world. It is a very fun and supportive group and I am so proud to be a part of them! Do you have any special tips for all of the lady runners out there? 1) Strength Train!! The stronger you are (connective tissue, your core, glutes, hips, back, etc.) the easier it will be to stay injury free, lean, and overall healthy! A strong runner is a healthy runner and this is even more important for women as we age than men. 2) Make time for YOU and your workout. Sometimes as women we put ourselves last. When I have done this and missed my run or didn't fuel properly because I did that one extra household chore, or said yes to one more family request when I could have/should have said no...I have never been a better mom or wife in that situation. I have always felt grumpy or guilty that I didn't get in the time or the work I had prioritized for myself. Sometimes this can't be helped of course, but usually it can...make yourself and your health (mental and physical) a priority. 3) Support each other. I think as women we are programmed to nurture and care for everyone else, and..be there for each other because you may be the only person who offered support to her today! Sonja met half of her July

It's Not All About the Bling By Lou Galli

For a long time at the start of my running and road racing career, I coveted the bling! Of course there were medals for finishing a race, sometimes even a 5K awarded medals to the finishers, but I'm talking about the real thing, Trophies. Those cheap, shiny, gaudy, plastic prizes suitable for the mantel. I started racing in my 40s, and through my 50s I was at best a mid-packer or perhaps a front of the back of the pack kind of guy. I would see those fit, lean master's age groupers climb the podium and be handed those shiny plastic trophies with the word “winner” engraved on them. Somehow it felt that I had not validated my credentials as a “real” runner since I never seemed to make it to the podium and had no hardware on my mantel to testify to my running abilities, even though in reality they weren't that great. I would devise all kinds of tactics to try to increase my chances of landing on the podium. I was on a mission to finally get some hardware. If there was a race that featured a 5K and a longer distance, perhaps a 10K or Half-Marathon, I would enter the 5K, knowing the “real” runners would prefer the longer distances. I prayed for rain, and maybe just a little lightning before the race to thin out the competition. But for a long time no success. Then it happened. On a rainy cold day in Raleigh, a day which probably discouraged some of the better runners from getting out of bed, I placed 3rd in the 50-54 age group, my first win. I would climb the podium, accept my trophy graciously, and rush home to place the hardware in a prominent location that I could get my wife to agree to. I tried to walk up to the podium like I had been there before but I'm sure I had a goofy looking smile on my face as I looked forward to accepting my major award, but alas it was a pair of socks! I raised them high in the air and rejoined my friends, smiling proudly, but I have to admit to feeling a bit disappointed that day even though I should have been thankful for whatever I was given.

Then as I got older things changed. Unfortunately some of the fellows who used to run in my age group started to drop out due to those pesky age related ailments. Bad knees, bad hips, bad feet, bad hearts started thinning the ranks of the over 60 and then really devastated the over 65 crowd. Now the truth is that I would much rather be racing alongside those fellows, or more accurately behind them, and enjoying their fellowship at the finish line but that is not to be. I also moved to a smaller community where although there are a lot of active people there were simply fewer competitors, and unfortunately at some races there are but a handful of runners my age. All of the sudden when I had a really good day (and sometimes even on a bad day) I found myself on the podium every once in a while and lo and behold sometimes there were trophies! Cheap shiny gold plastic treasures with handsome and young runners in full stride mounted on top. Those symbols of my running prowess began to come more often, ironically even as my times slowed. My favorite ones are the cute little bobble head dolls decked out as runners in full sprint mode, male bobbles for the guys and female bobbles complete with pony tails for the ladies, that are awarded at our local Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day. Oh how I coveted those bobbles. My bobbles, those prized possessions, those major awards, are displayed proudly and prominently in our living room. There are other kinds of trophies scattered around the house in places that my wife won't object too much to but are there to give me pleasure when I can remember where I put them. I was at a small race last December that gave out the cutest little plastic trophies, 4” high for 1st, 3” for 2nd and the cutest little 1 1/2” for 3rd and they had your finishing place hand written on them in permanent marker. Simple but effective and unique. The bags, socks and other awards are relegated to the closet or given to my wife, only those premium plastic prizes get those prime preferred places in the house. But when I had realized my dream of piling up the bling, filling my mantel with major awards there seemed to still be something missing, something in the back of my mind as I stared at my trophies that told me that it wasn't all that hardware that validated me as a “real” runner. Now that I had my trophies I came to realize there were greater awards to be sought after. I realized that the best award of all was having been able to be healthy enough to run and race all these years. I realized that the rewards were the fun, the fulfillment of personal goals and the fact that I had gotten to do this for as long as I have and race against, or more accurately trail along behind, some really good athletes and wonderful men and women. As I put a real scare on 70 years I expect I'll garner a few more podium finishes and collect some more socks, bags, medals, and hopefully a few more trophies, but now I realize that I actually won every time I ran a race, every time I strapped my shoes on in the morning and headed out the door for a run.

Down the Road Talent or Effort, Which One Wins? Talent. Effort. Anyone can achieve anything if they try hard enough. Those were the points of contention in a conversation I had the other day. We disagreed as to which of the first two was most important, and we disagreed as to whether anyone can achieve anything they want badly enough to go after it. You probably know enough about me by now, so I’ll just call the guy I was talking to ‘Doc’. Doc said that anyone can achieve whatever they want to in sports if they are willing to work hard enough at it. He pointed out examples like ‘Rudy’ in the movie of the same name, and some other people he had known personally. I disagreed. I said that talent is the ingredient that makes someone rise above the good level that they can achieve with maximum effort, and the elite or great level that some athletes attain. Which do you think is more important? I wanted to be great and I spent countless hours training, doing track workouts, long runs, fartlek, you name it. I remember those 70+ mile weeks when I was training for the New York City Marathon — and not getting the sub 3-hour marathon I wanted. I remember doing 8 weeks of increasing track workouts before the Cooper River Bridge Run year after year — and getting 17 straight sub 40-minute finishes. I never got the sub 35-minute finish I wanted. I don’t believe I could have I finished 1st in my age group or trotted along someplace in the middle of the pack I did something that so relatively few people my age have had the opportunity to do for whatever reason. Every time I raced I was handed the reward of fitness, the award of meeting some wonderful people and drawing inspiration and energy from them. Every time I raced I was a “winner.” I am a “real” runner. I think it was Bart Yasso who said that there is no such thing as a “fake” runner. We are all “real” runners Now don't get me wrong, the next time I race I will be out there trying to catch that gray haired guy in front of me and I'll be wondering if he is over 65 (we need to require ages be written on our right calves so we know who we have to worry about, ala triathlon). I have every intention of running out of room on the mantel for all those bobble heads because I plan on doing this for a while longer but at least now I know that even if there are no more bobble heads in my future it's still going to be fun to try.

trained any harder or better for the ability and talent level I was blessed with. Yet I never achieved greatness. I gave Doc a personal example from my own running experience. The year I ran my fastest Bridge Run I remember coming up on a well-known local runner who usually finished 4 or 5 minutes ahead of me. I’ll call him Dave. About half way through the race I caught up with Dave. There was no way that I should have been less than 2 minutes behind him at that point. When I passed him and he realized who I was, he picked up the pace and stayed ahead of me the rest of the way to the finish line. After the race I found out why he was struggling. Despite his talent and ability he had not been doing much running for over a month and had been drinking heavily. He had not even planned to run the Bridge Run but had signed up at the last minute. His talent carried him through the race, though the terrible performance for him was better than the best performance I ever got in the race. Doc remained unconvinced. He stated again that anyone can achieve the top level of a sport if they are willing to try and work hard enough. I told him the only ones who achieve the top level are the ones who have both: the talent and the willingness to work hard and push themselves as hard as they can. He refused to accept what I said. So we closed out the conversation agreeing to disagree. What do you think? Which matters more? Cedric Jaggers was elected to the South Carolina Road Runners Hall of Fame in 1992.

Inspired Daily Acceptance. The Injury: Part II An injury is definitely a multi-step process. After two full months of no running and three months of physical therapy, I finally entered the acceptance phase of dealing with my injury. I accepted that I am not invincible and that I must make changes in my running by way of all the extras I need to do in order to keep running as I get older. I share this with you in hopes that you might avoid injury and forced time off from running. In short, I hope you can learn from my mistakes. I guess as a coach, I am always eager to share my experiences in hopes of preventing others from “learning the hard way.” As of this writing, I have celebrated my 42nd birthday and have begun my 31st year of running. I now really see myself as a Masters runner and have accepted the fact that I cannot train like I did when I was 25, when I could get away with almost anything. I actually run higher weekly mileage now than I did back then but I can no longer skip stretching, foam rolling, and strength training and just run. I have to be more cautious with my speed work, especially after the hamstring injury. I am definitely more consistent with my training and mileage now than I was back then. I think the consistent higher mileage actually agrees with me. I learned so much from my physical therapist over the past few months. At first I was a little resistant when he told me I have to strength train and stretch more and maybe run a little less. But after each physical therapy session, I could see how the strength training made sense, especially focusing on single leg exercises like Bulgarian split squats, TRX assisted single leg squats, and single leg Romanian dead lifts. When we run we land on one leg at a time! Talk about a revelation. And then there's the foam rolling and extensive stretching. I'll admit I was a little defensive as I told him “I stretch!” I have always held stretches for about 30 seconds or so. This is what I learned back in high school and college cross country and what I saw other coaches and programs doing as well. My PT has me holding stretches for 90 seconds. Yes, 90! I must have looked confused as he happily explained that he wanted me to

hold the stretches over a minute to bypass the stretch reflex and really lengthen the muscles (post workout only, of course, when the muscles are really warm). I do not have an exercise science or physical therapy background, so I accepted his expertise and after three months of stretching this way, I no longer feel the restriction in my muscles, especially in the hip flexors, quads, and glutes. The restriction I had in that general hip area was a big part of my hamstring injury as it caused an anterior rotation of my pelvis which overworked the hamstring. Now I am able to use my glutes more and protect my hamstrings. Change is hard but not running is worse! This is why I have accepted these new additions to my running routine. Once I did start back to running, it was literally a half mile a day for six days then the next week I increased to three quarters of a mile, then a mile, then two. I may have been overly cautious on my return to running, but I did not want to risk any setbacks. I gradually increased mileage in a safe way like I tell others to and now I am training for the Last Chance BQ.2 Chicagoland Marathon on Sept. 12, in hopes of qualifying for Boston 2016. I know it's a risk signing up for a marathon so soon after the injury but I accept that risk just like I accept the limitations of my body and now work to make it stronger and more flexible each day.

Legacy of Nina May Brekelmans … Dreams Unfulfilled By George Banker

Nina May Brekelmans “Nina was an amazing person who accomplished many incredible many incredible things in a very short time. She was so humble that she was almost embarrassed to tell the team that she was awarded the Fulbright Scholarship, and until I saw the reaction to her death in Jordan I had no idea of the impact she made on the running community there. As with everything else in her life, Nina put everything she had into her running, and even though she wasn't one of the most talented athletes at Georgetown Running Club (GRC), no one worked harder, and

being part of the team meant the world to her. We will do our best to honor her memory as we go forward,” stated Coach Jerry Alexander (GRC). Coach Jerry Alexander was commenting about Nina May Brekelmans whose life ended too quickly. On Wednesday, June 3, 2015 in the early morning hours there was a house fire in the 1600 block of Riggs Road Place, NW about 2:30 a.m., as reported by the authorities. There were two lives lost. The second person was Michael McLaughlin, 24, a graduate magna cum laude from the University of Maryland in 2012 with a degree in finance and economics. “What is Legacy of Life?” According to George Mason University (http://www.legacy.mu.edu/llegacy), “A Legacy of Life is designed to assist individuals with their focus and their priorities. It helps each of us direct energies in a somewhat organized and planned way so that we are remembered, ideally, in ways that we desire.” “While we cannot fully control our legacy and how we are remembered, we are more likely to achieve the desired results if we seek them, than if we move through life without direction or purpose”. A legacy should cover a lifetime but what happens when the lifetime is only 25 years? Nina Brekelmans was born March 6, 1990 in Gahanna, OH. The early years of schooling included high school at DuPont Manual Magnet in Louisville, KY, and the family moved to Queretaro, Mexico where she graduated from John F. Kennedy School. Brekelmans attended Dartmouth College to pursue a B.A. in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies with a minor in Public Policy. She was selected as a 2009 First Year Fellow by the Rockefeller Center and spent the freshmen summer interning at the Project on Government Oversight. Brekelmans graduated summa cum laude from Dartmouth College in June of 2012 and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa.

Graduate work was undertaken at Georgetown University to pursue her Masters of Arts in Arabic Studies. During the time there she spent time studying in Jordan and Egypt having received the Boren Fellowship funded by the National Security Education Program. She graduated in May 2015. Brekelmans was awarded Dartmouth's James B. Reynolds Scholarship for Foreign Study and a Fulbright Graduate Research Fellowship. At the end of the summer Brekelmans was returning to Jordan to conduct research on female distance runners and to continue her Arabic language studies. While attending Dartmouth she was on the Varsity Track and Field Team. To her credit was a PR of 5:00.07 for 1500 meters, 17:57.25 for 5,000 meters, and 39:07.60 for 10,000 meters. At the 41st Dartmouth Relays (January 2010), 8th place was captured in the Women's 3,000 Meter Run with 10:50.85. In January 2012 at the Dartmouth vs Maine vs Vermont vs RPI, 8th place was captured in the Women 1 Mile Run in a time of 5:12.16. At the 43rd Dartmouth Relays (January 2012) 7th place was captured in the 3,000 meter Run with 10:32.25. In February 2012 at the Boston University Valentine Invitational 72nd place was captured with a time of 10:46.31. GRC teammate, Mary Grace Pellegrini shares some comments, “She had a sincere and deep love for the people of the Middle East. It's where she felt at home. While in Jordan during part of a one-year language and cultural immersion fellowship she won her first attempt at a half marathon at the Dead Sea, taking home some prize money, meeting members of the royal family and generally being treated “like a star.” She was an absolute dynamo and she was so proud to wear her GRC shirt on the podium”. “Her career at Dartmouth was limited by injury, but

she ran some very solid times in college. The highlight of her collegiate career came in Boston where she ran a 9:56 for 3,000 meters. She was essentially a very talented beginner when she joined GRC in the fall of 2012. She was committed to continue her development with GRC, and was training extremely well,” stated Alexander. Alexander adds, “Injuries plagued her throughout her running career, but they only affected her body. She remained determined throughout and committed to her teammates both new and old. She beamed with pride when she had a chance to watch college teammate Alexi Pappas race in Alexandria last fall at the US National 12K, and even though she loved her experiences in Egypt (before relocating to Jordan during her language fellowship), she regretted missing out on celebrating her teammate's successes.” “Nina was very, very proud to be a part of GRC. She was willing to do whatever it was going to take to hang with the girls, and she was a great teammate in every sense of the word. I'd hear her wheezing as she'd push to keep up with her far more seasoned teammates and initially thought it was an indication of some weakness, but I realized quickly that it was indicative of her strength and focus to do what it took to be a better runner, to push herself harder”, comments Coach Alexander. A legacy is a story of a life so the person is not forgotten. It includes a collection of accomplishments, goals, failures, and lives which have been touched. Brekelmans will not have the opportunity to complete her legacy and her life will continue through her family, friends, and teammates of the Georgetown Running Club.

He Said, She Said When Emotions Run High, Heed Emotional Run-Ins

By Mary Marcia Brown

Pictured: Mary Marcia and her brother with their Mom, circa 1982.

The day before my mother's funeral, my brother ran the longest run of his life. His commitment to his relationship with running commenced only two years ago. It was an exciting time for me, as he called often to seek guidance about effective training, proper running attire, injury prevention, stretching, motivating music,

treadmill settings, and seemingly everything in between. He'd text to tell me about a new mileage milestone he met, and leave excitement-filled voicemails when he managed to maintain a faster speed. The teeth punctures left by the proverbial running bug's bite were evident - even from 400 miles away. Two months ago though, 400 miles did not separate me and my brother. I was walking out of our hometown gym's door, as he walked in and positioned himself on a treadmill, ready to tackle more miles than he had previously imagined. “Have a great run,” I said. “I'll catch up with you this afternoon.”

After bidding him farewell, I set out for the nursing home to pick up my 94-yearold grandmother. Two days earlier, I had seen the sadness in her face, and had watched her weaken at the waist when I told her that her only daughter was dead. She was about to witness the somber sight for herself. I held her hand as we walked languidly toward the coffin that held my mother's lifeless body. “I wish it were me instead of you,” my grandmother cried, bending down to kiss my mother on the cheek. Tears fell from my face as I embraced my emotionally and physically frail grandmother, attempting to console her confounded soul - the one whispering, “Why did I not go first?”, and “How can I possibly go on after burying my baby?” After she delivered another kiss to her daughter's cheek, gently brushed her long hair, and gave her daughter's once-nurturing now-rigid hand a tight squeeze, my grandmother was ready to leave. My brother was probably completing mile seven when my grandmother and I returned to the nursing home. By the time

I picked up my youngest brother, Chase, another mile or two were likely complete. Chase was emphatic about his wishes to see our mother. The last time he had seen her, she was still coherent and called him out affectionately by his name. I was torn in determining whether or not it was a wise idea to take my 24-year old brother, who has autism, to see his mother as she lay in her final position of rest - but I took him. “Oh Mommy, how am I going to live without you!” he cried out. My face flooded with tears again, as I rubbed his back and, with the most convincing tone I could muster, said, “You're going to be alright, buddy.” I sincerely hoped that was true. Chase slumped over the side of our mother's coffin, and with a throaty whimper, relinquished an ounce of his anguish with each bawling breath. “Don't worry, Mommy,” he said as he stood tall and attempted to regain his composure. “I'm going to keep my room and the house clean,” he said. Confident that those words would please her, Chase turned from the coffin and began to walk past the pews in the little chapel. He turned once more to exclaim, “I love you, Mommy!” before we reached the funeral home door. As we walked to the car, our brother was probably reaching the finish line of his day's long run. Later that afternoon, we all reconvened at our mother's house. “How was your run?” I asked my brother. “It was great!” he said. “It was the longest I've ever run on the treadmill. More than a half marathon!” he said. “Oh wow! That's fantastic!” I said. “Yeah. I was able to really just run and think about Mom,” he said. “It really helped,” he added, recalling how his thoughts of our mom had carried him through his first five miles before he even thought to look down at the completed mileage on the display screen. The late hours of the afternoon melted into the early evening hours as we delved into decades' worth of family photos. As the pages turned, Christmases went from poor to plentiful, cars morphed from muffler-less to new, house hunts replaced Easter egg hunts, and faces aged beneath the birthday balloons of each passing year. It was bittersweet to relive memories of my mom's life through Kodak moments. With a few photos carefully chosen to take to the next day's visitation and service, I sat down beside my brother at the dinner table. Without warning, and to my complete consternation, cordial dinner conversation was quickly blown away by a tumultuous tornado of previously disguised anger and resentment.

Running Psychology

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24

Training, Recovery and Stress When most of you think about “training,” you probably think about getting on your running shoes and going out the door for a run. Of course there is more to training than simply going out everyday and running. Stretching, weight training, nutrition, recovery etc. are all parts of any sound training program. However, when you examine any training program very closely, you will find there is much, much more too any training protocol than the aforementioned list of activities. All runners live in their own individual world outside of running. Each and every runner is different and each and every one of you lives in your own individual environment. You interact with your environment, which is to say your personal environment has an effect on your training, both when you are running, but also each and every other minute of your life. So to really understand training and recovery, you must look beyond specific activities, such as running, that are designed to build endurance, speed, strength and flexibility. To get the absolute most out of training you need to learn to understand how all aspects of your life effect how you adapt to your training load and how well you recover from your training. Training must be viewed as a total integration of body, mind and living environment. When you simplify training, it is all about putting stress on your body that your body it is not accustomed to and then allowing your body to adapt to the stress overload with a form of lowered stress or recovery. Too little training stress and there is a less than optimal training effect. Too much stress and your body breaks down with chronic fatigue and exhaustion. Often, over training is really about a delicate combination of too much stress and too little recovery. When discussing training for runners, all too often only the stress overload from running is considered. One of the basic laws of exercise physiology is that “training is specific” and to train to run you must spend the greatest percentage of your training time running. Running is indeed the training stressor for a runner. However, there are many other stressors in your own personal environment that impact energy levels, training performance, recovery time and ultimately, race performance. Your training environment will probably consist of things like training load, rest, diet, weather conditions, illness etc., but you need to look at your entire life environment to understand how your run training is impacted by other forms of stress in your life. Most people today don’t have a lot of physical stressors in their lives. Sitting behind a desk has replaced manual labor. Technology has eliminated many jobs that once depended upon physical labor. Most of the stressors you face today are psycho-social in nature, in that they come from your own inner thoughts and our interactions with other people. Sociocultural stressors that drain physical energy might be things like time pressures, negative personal relationships, financial concerns and demands of employers. Psychological stressors like worrying, fear of failure, self-concept concerns, and even the pressure to perform in races can also result in energy drain. Any stressor, be it physical or psycho-social, places a demand on your body which requires energy to meet the demand. How are the above psycho-social stressors a part of your running environment? The ability to adapt to the training loads and “get fit” is based upon how much energy you have to expend on the actual physiological process of running and how much energy you can save during recovery. With adequate energy you can run hard and then have the ability to recover,

thereby getting the desired training effect from your running. In a perfect running ecosystem bouts of hard training are broken by days of lower intensity training and the body is allowed to recover and adapt. But most of you have much more to do on a daily basis than just run, eat and rest. You have to function in your entire environment and that means jobs, family, school, interpersonal relationships etc., and all of these take significant energy and in many cases you simply don’t have enough energy, mental or physical, to go around. The result is that you don’t get to train as hard as you would like and on top of that, you don’t recover well from the training you do. The end product of all of this is a less than optimal training effect. It’s not that you’re training too hard or not training properly, it’s just that the other demands in your environment result in energy drains and you are under rested and under recovered for the training you actually do. You may feel tired and exhausted on a regular basis, but it’s probably not from actually running too much or too hard, it’s from under recovery as a result of life stressors. If you’re feeling worn out, don’t just look at your running as the cause; also look at your entire environment. Training is far more than simply running. In the past when you haven’t been running well, were there other things going on in your life that negatively affected your running? Job stress, personal problems, poor sleep habits or illnesses are all things that can sabotage even the most well planned training program. While many events in your personal environment may be hard to control, others can be improved upon. Diet is one area that is directly under your control. More sleep is always a help to runners, so work to manage your time better during the day and you may actually be able to get 30 minutes more sleep a night. Also, while it is a challenge, work on becoming a better stress manager. Try not to get stressed over things you can’t control and also work to change your interpretation of events so fewer and fewer things get you wound up and stressed out. Be positive and treat yourself like you would treat your own best friend. The energy you save from not being under constant stress is energy you can put to running and recovery! So the next time you map out a long-term training program, look at your entire training environment and examine the entire “picture.” By understanding areas of your life that drain mental and physical energy you will be better able to conserve more energy for running and other activities you really like to participate in. A small investment of time in looking at training and your overall lifestyle can pay big dividends down the road.

In a 10-minute tirade, my brother loudly communicated his disapproval of the way I crossed my legs and hands, the way I spoke, the way I had looked at the photo albums, and the overall manner in which I was attempting to come to terms with our mother's death. “I loved Mom more than you did, and she knew it!” he cried. “And now I'm attempting to mourn my mother's death and I can't do it because of you!” he exclaimed. I felt sad for my brother, and I told him that. Anger is a powerful and destructive emotion. It surfaces quickly and takes an immediate hold of any old emotions that can fuel its pernicious path. I knew that it was not my brother speaking, but the fear behind the hate-filled words. Thankfully, I also knew that those words held no truth. I can remember that as a child, my brother would ask my Mom, “Who do you love more - me or Mary?” My Mom would dependably reply, “I love you both equally - just in different ways.” I can also remember, as a child, expressing the degree to which I loved someone by either bringing my hands close to one another and saying, “this much”, or spreading my arms to each side as far as they would go to indicate loving someone even more. As an adult, I understand that there is no “more” when it comes to love. Love is not measurable - it just is. As far as saying goodbye and mourning the loss of a loved one, there is no right or wrong. There are however, tools, activities, resources and people who can help. During that storm of emotion, my brother may not have seen me as a person who was helping him mourn, but fortunately, I knew that I was a person who had introduced him to an activity that had already “really helped” just hours before. It was the sport that had carried him through more than a half marathon that morning. The sport that had allowed him to devote almost two concentrated hours to thoughts of our mother. It was running. Optimistically, this is an activity that will be part of my brother's life for many years to come. Hopefully, it will continue to help him through any hardships regardless of their emotional weight. And maybe in the future, rather than allowing anger to take hold of his reigns of outward expression and cause a turbulent emotional run-in, perhaps he will grab his favorite running shoes, lace up, and get a meaningful (and even helpful) emotional run in.

Running Journal • August, 2015 “It went better than last year,” said Masland, who also finished first in 2014. “I was shooting for 2:45, and I got 2:45.07, so I'm happy.” Masland had a 20minute lead on his closest competitors, 24-year-old Thomas Briggs of Mount Pleasant, S.C., and 32year-old Daniel Williams of Baton Rouge, La. The two finished together at 3:06.22 and 3:06.32, respectively. Smylie, a teacher on a one-year cultural exchange program in Swansboro, said the race's finish at MacRae Meadows in the midst of the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games brought an incredible feeling. Smylie said she had never attended a Highland Games before and will leave in just one week to return to Scotland. “I heard the bagpipes and (saw) the kilts, and it was the most amazing experience of my life,” she said. Race director Jim Deni said it wasn't entirely surprising that the winners hailed from 3,700 miles apart, as the Grandfather Mountain Marathon has earned a reputation as one of the toughest marathons in the world. “We generally have good representation from the western part of the state, but we've got people from 26 states here, so it's wellknown,” Deni said. Overcast skies and a cool morning offered excellent conditions for the runners, who started at Appalachian State University's Kidd Brewer Stadium, snaked along the Blue Ridge Parkway and back toward Linville to finish on the track at the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games. Competitors from 17 to 75 tested their mettle on the course, and even the first finishers remarked on the course's difficulty. “It was hard because I've been living at sea level and running on flat,” Smylie said. “But it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.” Masland benefitted from his knowledge of the course from past years. “This race just chews you up,” he said. “You have to be really smart in the first 16 miles, and I learned that last year.” His advice for runners considering this particular marathon: “Be patient. Enjoy the climbs instead of attacking them, and no breaks on the downhills let them do the work for you. And survive the last 10 miles.” Complete results: http://www.leetiming.com/GMM2015_AG.htm.
