Grandmas Does It Better I returned from my annual trip to Duluth, MN, revived and as always blown away by the job that Grandmas Marathon does each and every year. With two new full time staff and a total full time staff of eight, they have, as usual, an immense amount of work to keep their two days of races at a top level, but they do it with love and with class. As I have reported many times before, nobody does it better than Grandmas. I have discovered that although all of the staff have their areas of responsibility, no one is above helping out another colleague. They are obviously all in the process together and I have never seen a more cohesive group of people.

Minnesota nice truly exists and they enfolded me as one of them for the 18 days I was there.

There is so much that goes on behind the scenes to put on a stellar event and I am continually amazed at all that gets done in the two weeks before the race. No one gets any rest, but they produce an event that is definitely the best there is.

The Expo starts on Thursday afternoon with all types of vendors promoting their wares. There is a wide variety and very few leave the Expo without some treasured purchases. The space is always packed. Friday brings the press conferences, the luncheon, and speakers. This year, hometown hero and Olympian, Kara Goucher, was a speaker in addition to long time favorite Dick Beardsley. The venue was packed and my job was to get Kara safely out of the arena in a most timely manner. Everyone wants a "piece" of Kara.

The half marathon was her initial return to competition, since the Olympic marathon trials in February of 2016. She was very clear that she was not in record setting shape (she holds the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon course record of 1:09:45) but she wanted to return to racing where she felt safe and could run her own race. She said she would run between 1:10 and 1:20, and she split the difference, finishing 5th overall in 1:15:12. She was extremely pleased with her performance, considering she came into the race with no workouts under her belt. Cheers erupted all along the course for the hometown girl. Kara has a new attitude toward running and wants to have some fun now. Looking back, she says she finally realized that podium finishes in both New York and Boston, and a ninth place finish at the 2012 Olympic Marathon, and a world championship medal are pretty lofty accomplishments.

By Carolyn Mather, RN, PhD.

As she prepares to turn master in a year, it is time to not only compete well but do different races that she can enjoy. She is finding fulfillment in a new way doing different things.

Masters runner, Olympian Carrie Tollefson took the 5K title in the William A. Irvin 5K, while Dustin Franka of Portland, OR, took the tape for the men on a very warm and humid Friday evening.

Saturday morning dawned in the upper 50's but the humidity remained. Two newcomers to the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon took the titles as Kenyan Evans Kirui celebrated with a time of 1:03:05, and Ethiopian Biruktayit Degefa broke the tape in 1:11:25, three minutes ahead of her nearest competitor. The performance of the day was Kevin Castille's masters win with a 5th place 1:03:58. At age 45 he was in the lead pack until the final mile.

Grandmas Marathon starts 0minutes after the half and the conditions warmed up a bit as the clouds parted and the sun came out. Both wheelchair races were photo finishes as Amanda McGrory took her eighth Grandmas title in 1:40:22 and was also inducted into Grandmas Marathon Hall of Fame. Aaron Pike took his first title at Grandmas in 1:29:02. In the men's marathon, Kenyan Elisha Barno did what no man has ever done with an unprecedented three-peat, taking home his third victory in 2:12:06, while Los Angeles marathon winner Kenyan Helen Jepkurgat won in 2:32:09.

But finishing a race is a victory for each participant and watching the joy and the trials as each finisher crosses the finish line is where Grandmas totally exceeds expectations. Every runner is a star and is treated as such. Truly this is not only a race for every runner but a world class race with small time charm. Having finished many Grandmas I know this is totally true.

I have a new running partner - she makes sure I get out of bed in the morning, reminds me to appreciate being in nature, and is happy to run as far as I want to. Morgan is younger than me, but she's great company.

Morgan is also our dog. We adopted her from a rescue agency at the end of May - an Australian Shepherd somewhere between 12 years old. We don't know her history; the rescue agency received her from a county shelter that picked her up as a stray. But we knew we wanted a dog that would run with me, and we found the perfect fit with Morgan.

Since we've had her, I've done research and talked to two veterinarians about getting her started running. This won't surprise any other dog owners out there, but dogs are a lot like people. Some are good runners, some aren't. While there are some breed characteristics that influence running ability, a lot of it depends on the individual dog.

I have one friend who runs with her Standard Poodles and another who runs with her Yorkie ... and I mean pretty serious running on both counts.

But, dogs with short legs may struggle with quicker paces, and larger dogs may have issues with hip dysplasia. Flat-faced dogs like bulldogs and pugs have narrower nostrils and partially-obstructed airways, which is not really helpful for running.

Of course, the age of your dog is a factor.

Senior dogs may have joint issues or other health concerns. And you don't want to start running with a puppy too young - their bones aren't fully formed until 18-24 months, so running's high impact can lead to injury.

And - just like people - you can't expect your pooch to hop off the couch and run 5

miles. With Morgan, I got the okay from our vet to start adding more exercise to her routine. We went for walks of 2-3 miles, and we started adding running just like a Couch-to5k training plan would. We did 30 seconds of running, 1 minute of walking for 10 minutes. Then we went to 1 minute / 90 seconds, etc. After a few weeks, we ran a couple of 400m segments with 2 minute breaks. Then we went to half-miles. Now, she's running about 1.5 miles but by the time this article is published, it'll likely be more. (I can admit, I'd like to find her a 5k in the fall!)

The key here is to train your dog to run just like a person would. Give them time to adapt, and don't forget a warm-up. We usually go for a 10-15 minute walk, which gives Morgan time for a potty break and helps both of us get ready. Honestly, this is probably as beneficial for me as for her, because before I'd roll out of bed and be running 10 minutes later.

Keep in mind how the weather will affect your pet - especially during these hot and humid months. Take your dog for a run in the morning, or after sunset. If you can't hold your hand or bare foot on the pavement for 10 seconds, it's too hot. Make sure your dog has access to water. When winter rolls

around, be cautious of ice as well as road treated with salt. Give your pup's paws a checkup and make sure they aren't cracked, peeling, or otherwise damaged. Products like Musher's Secret and Bag Balm can soothe and protect.

Watch your dog's body language for signs he needs to slow down or stop. Excessive panting, difficulty breathing, and a bluetinged tongue are obvious clues. If you dog starts to lag behind, tries to stop and lay down in the shade, or is seeking water, those are also cues to take a break.

If you can run off-road, the softer surfaces are good for both you and your dog. In some places, you might be able to let your dog offleash. If you have access to a large yard or dog park, that may give you the opportunity to practice commands off-leash before trying it on the trail.

Being able to control your dog is also important, especially if you want to keep your arm in its socket. Teaching your dog to heel, “leave it,” sit, and stay are extra handy when running. I'm also teaching Morgan to stop and sit at road crossings, as well as to “turn” right or left. We're also working on “time to run” and “time to walk” so she knows what's coming. (Sometimes “time to run” is mostly a cue for me!)

I purchased a waist leash from the beginning - I actually got the idea about a year ago from Neely Spence Gracey, who was photographed with her Visla, Strider, using a waist leash. This allows me to be handsfree while running - genius! Our leash is by Kong, but a number of similar products exist. Look for one with a padded, adjustable waistband; a bungee middle that will allow you some slack; a short-leash handle for traffic or other tight situations; and not more than a 4-foot length. This makes running easier for you, and also the people around you who would prefer to not play Skip-It with your retractable leash and your dog that's 10 feet away on the other side of the path.

Be sure to consult with your veterinarian before starting to run with your dog. If you're looking to add a fur-friend to your family, you can also talk to the rescue agency, breeder, or current owner about the topic.

If you have any tips on running with your dog, or want to share your own dog running story with me, I'd love to hear them!

EAT WELL, RUN WELL

Bread for Runners: Good, Bad-or Yummy?

Don’t let Many runners are staying away from bread these days: It’s a waste of calories. … It’s fattening. … It’s inflammatory. These active people often struggle with denying themselves of this pleasurable food: I tell the waiter to remove the breadbasket so I don’t devour the whole thing. … No more sandwiches for me; I eat just salads. … On Sundays I cheat and eat a bagel! …

Perhaps you are feeling confused about the role of bread in your sports diet? After all, eating (white) bread these days is commonly viewed as nutritionally incorrect. Here are some facts to resolve some of the bread confusion.

Myth: Bread is fattening.

Any food can be fattening when eaten in excess. You “get fat” when you repeatedly overeat total calories for the day. The calories can be from avocado, yogurt, grilled chicken, potato chips, Oreos, M&Ms—or bread (white, whole wheat, sour dough, or multi-grain). The myth that bread is fattening; carbs are fattening is just that, a myth. You have my permission to enjoy bagels, sandwiches, and garlic bread alongside pasta for dinner. As long as the portions fit within your calorie budget for the day, you will not gain undesired weight by eating bread.

“But when I eat pasta and bread for dinner, I always gain 2 or 3 pounds by the next morning” whined a weight-conscious runner. She didn’t realize when runners load-up on carbohydrates, they store in their muscles about three ounces of water with each one ounce of carb (glycogen). The scale does go up due to water-weight—and performance also goes up! You will have a far better run after a pasta/bread meal than, let’s say, a no-carb chicken Caesar salad.

Now, if you eat too much bread—such as the whole breadbasket within a few minutes of settling into a restaurant, you can indeed consume excess calories. The problem is not with the bread, but with your relationship with bread. If you feel as though you have no control over, let’s say, the warm, crusty rolls in front of you and you quickly devour them, you may believe that bread is “addicting.” Next time, you might wonder if you should ban the waiter from even bringing the crusty rolls to your table—but that would be a shortsighted solution.

The smarter solution is to eat bread daily. Obviously, you really like bread; that’s why you want to eat all of it. Depriving yourself of this little pleasure leads to “last chance eating.” You know, “This is my last chance to eat bread so I’d better eat it all.” You’d be better off taking the power away from bread by eating it more often.

Myth: White bread is a bad food, a nutritional zero.

In general, the less processed a food is, the more nutrients it has. Hence, whole wheat breads (and pasta) are preferable to the refined versions. But white bread is not poison nor a nutritional zero. Before you cast stones at white bread, you need to look at the whole day’s diet: Is it balanced or unbalanced?

Today’s Dietary Guidelines suggest half of your grain-foods should be whole grains; the other half can be refined, enriched grains (bread, rice, pasta, etc.).

While some nutrients (fiber, magnesium and zinc) get lost in the milling of whole wheat into white flour, other nutrients have been added back. Since 1941, white flour has been enriched with thiamin, riboflavin, iron, and niacin in amounts equal to whole-wheat flour. Your job is to eat a variety of foods (vegetables, fruits, nuts yogurt) so you consume nutrients that might have been processed out of the whole wheat.

No grain—not whole wheat nor quinoa—is a powerhouse food. When you enjoy bread (or wrap) with hummus, turkey, cheese, lettuce and tomato, you’ll get more nutrients from the

nutrition be your By Nancy Clark, M.S., R.D.

filling than from the bread, regardless if it is whole wheat or white. Bread is better known for fueling the muscles, than for being a source of nutrients. If your diet is 85-90% nutrientdense you won’t be risking your health by selecting white bread or wrap.

In general, no breads or grain-foods are as nutrient-rich as green leafy vegetables, berries, lean meats, or dairy foods.

Enjoy grains for their carbohydrates that help fuel muscles. The carbohydrate (starch) in bread ends up as muscle glycogen (fuel) or blood glucose (brain food). Yes, you can also fuel your body with a lunchtime salad, but you will have to eat a mighty big salad to get enough carbs. If you are on a food budget or don’t have time to munch through a pile of veggies, you could far more easily fuel yourself with a sandwich made with whole wheat bread, peanut butter & banana.

If you exercise for about one hour a day at moderate intensity and want to fuel your muscles adequately, you should target about 2.25 g carb/lb. body weight. For a runner who weighs 150 pounds, this comes to ~340 g carb a day. By dividing that into three meals (with 100 g carb/meal) + 1 snack (with 40 g Carb) you can see that a PB & J sandwich (70 g carb) easily beats a salad with chickpeas (25 g carb)!

Myth: Wheat is inflammatory.

If you are among the 1% of Americans who have celiac disease, or the 6% who have gluten sensitivities, you should stay away from bread and other forms of wheat. But for most of us, bread can be a positive part of a sports diet, not a trigger for inflammation. A crossover study with athletes who ate a glutenfilled or gluten-free diet showed no increase in markers of inflammation when the athletes consumed wheat. (Lis, Med Sci Sports Exer 2015) Myth: White bread, like sugar, spikes blood glucose.

Surprising, the average blood glucose response to commercial white bread vs. artisan whole-wheat sourdough bread is similar. In fact, half the subjects had a higher rise in blood glucose with whole-wheat bread. (Korem, Cell Metab 2017).

The bottom line White bread can be included an overall balanced sports diet.

While minimally processed foods are always better than highly processed foods, you want to look at the whole diet and not vilify a slice of white bread. Just balance it with whole grains at the other meals—and enjoy it, guilt-free..

Down the Road South Carolina's Largest Marathons and Half Marathons in 2016 Since Running USA puts out a report on all the marathons in the USA, it seems only fitting to put out a report for each state. You can find their report on their website RunningUSA.org. Since I keep By up with the state where I live, here it is for Cedric Jaggers South Carolina.

In 2016 there were 9 Marathons in SC. Six of them had fewer finishers than they had the previous year. Similar to the nationwide trend of fewer runners in races. Unfortunately 3 of them were not probably short of the advertised race disUSATF certified, meaning they were tance. Listed by size, here’s the list: 5/1/16

Since Running USA listed the largest 15 marathons in their report, I thought I’d do the same for South Carolina, especially since no South Carolina Half Marathons made their list.

There were 37 Halfs in SC during 2016. Five of them also made the largest races in SC list. The smallest Half Marathon, held for the first time, had only 6 finishers. Only 12 of the Half Marathons had more finishers than the previous year, though a few were first time or returning races which had not been held the previous year. So here are your top 15 (note all of them used USATF certified courses): 12/10/16 & ( )

Distance Memories

WOMEN’S RUNNING

The Fox 5 Interview Was Great, but Am I Over the Hill?

The magic of making this happen is certainly supported by generous sponsors and the communities along the way and the city of Duluth.

Furthermore over 6000 volunteers donate countless hours to make the magic happen. There are no volunteers like the ones in Duluth. The marathon is their heart and they love being apart of, it either running or working, or both! They encourage each and every runner and try to get them to that finish in Canal Park.

I t does not end with the finish line as the Big Top tent right past the finish line has live entertainment both Friday and Saturday nights with great bands and lots of celebrants. There is no better cure for sore legs than dancing and partying after the big race.

The next day the staff is back at work dealing with lost items, wrong size tee shirts, lost medals and various situations that could fill a book. It is incredible how cheerful and helpful everyone is after two plus weeks of very little sleep and tons of work. I want to thank everyone associated with Grandmas Marathon, especially the staff who have been there for me over the years but most especially for me since Steve died. They have always been our second family but now they are even more family to me. Thanks to Executive director Shane Bauer and his board for providing the leadership which has led to such a stellar organization. I cannot ever begin to express my love and appreciation for everyone.

On a final note, for those of you who have always wanted to do the Garry Bjourklund Half Marathon but never got in with the lottery, registration opens on Oct. 1, 2017 at 5pm CDT on a first come, first serve basis. So if this has been a dream race destination, get online on 10/1. Next years race is on June 16, 2018. If you want to experience the best race weekend ever, then put the date on your calendar. Nobody does it better. And no runner should ever miss the Grandmas Marathon experience.

About a week before this year's Peachtree Road Race Justin, a sports reporter for the local affiliate of the Fox Broadcasting Company sent me this: “Hope you're doing well! I'm with FOX 5 Sports -- we're looking at some Peachtree Road Race preview stories, and I had a friend tell me about the Streak Runners Association. Are you still involved in that, and are you running in the Peachtree this year? If so, maybe could be an interesting Peachtree preview story, come out and talk to you sometime this week if you have time.”

Never one to turn down the opportunity to promote the sport of running, I accepted the offer. The very next day Justin showed up at my office - video camera and tripod in hand - and interviewed me for the better part of an hour. Justin discovered I ran my first Peachtree in 1979 (making this year my 39th), I've run every day since November of 1978 ('when Jimmy Carter was President,' as was reported later) and asked me how I run when I have a sprained ankle: 'I don't get sprained ankles,' I replied. I like to think of it as my one superpower. Justin thanked me for my time and said a film crew would be in touch to get video of me running to accompany his story.

That afternoon Chip from the Fox sports department asked when I ran. I told him 3:30 every day during the week, as in 3:30 in the morning. Chip said he'd see what he could do to line up a crew. I offered to run after work if that would help, because I know if you're not used to waking up before the roosters it's not the best way to start the day. We ultimately agreed on the next day around 5 P.M. at my home.

The next afternoon Blaine and Miles were in my driveway when I got home with enough equipment to film a major motion picture. The three of us talked for a while and Blaine asked me how the Peachtree Road Race has changed since 1979. I mentioned back then I parked 100 yards from the starting line, and now I park at the finish line and run six miles to the starting line because it's impossible to park anywhere near the start. I added that for a 10-year stretch I ran competitively for the Atlanta Track Club Masters team and was 'running shoulder-to-shoulder with the Kenyans.' I paused before adding 'during warm-ups,' believing my incredible wit was going to land me a gig hosting a variety show on Fox (not yet).

Blaine asked me to change into my running clothes and soon we were at the bot-

tom of my driveway, at which point he asked me to run to the top of the hill, 1/10th of a mile that I ordinarily walk to loosen up before heading out for my run simply because it is straight uphill. I (oomph) ran to the top and rounded the corner out of the view of the camera because there was no way I was going to risk being caught on film walking for a story about my running.

I jogged back to the bottom only for Blaine to ask me to 'do it again, but run on the other side of the street this time.'

I honored his request, making sure to round the corner once again. I jogged back to the bottom and found out he wanted more footage of me running on the country roads of Senoia, where I put in another couple of miles for good measure. It was all I could do to not let him know he was wearing me out. Quickly.

I have to be honest and admit that running twice a day - something I did regularly as recent as 15 years ago - ain't as easy as it used to be. Imagine, if you will, running with a slight dose of rigor mortis coursing through your body. That's what my second run of the day feels like these days. At that time of the day I am the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz; I only hoped it wouldn't be noticeable on film.

The next night the local Fox affiliate aired my story. The old adage is everyone has 15 seconds of fame; somehow I was blessed with 10 times that. The feature turned out as good as I could have hoped for and some how, some way the running gods made sure I didn't look like the Tin Man. I noticed that footage of me running up the incline-from-hell was used at the very end of the story. If they only knew how exhausting it was running up and over the hill not once but twice had been, the producer may have put a different spin on my story: Both literally and figuratively, I knew I was over the hill.

Outtakes: I mentioned earlier several hours of video were taken for the production of my twoand-a-half minute story. Here's what was left on the cutting room floor; the things

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2

you didn't see on television: • A photo of my grandson Krischan running his first-ever race; a one-mile run in Griffin, Georgia. I explained how I posted on Facebook just as the race was about to start that I was 'at Griffin-Spalding County Hospital with Krischan,' never thinking for one moment that my family and friends wouldn't realize we were at a race. That is, until the race was over and I saw the comments they had posted, such as 'OMG I hope he's OK!!!'

• My comment while my five or six Peachtree Road Race T-shirts were shown that 'I've never worn a Peachtree T-shirt in my life.' Truth be known I thought the only one I kept was from my first Peachtree in 1979; I honestly thought I had given all the others away.

• While we were running on Eastside School Road several cars passed us by; not one slowed down to see if it might be a crew filming a scene from The Walking Dead, the hit television show based in my hometown since such sights are now pretty common around town. Had the videographers been fans of the show (they both said they'd never seen it-what are the odds?) I would have explained that we were filming on the very road that Daryl led the zombies away from Alexandria on his motorcycle in Season Six. • A photo of my seven books about running, all meticulously lined up in chronological order. I figured two or three seconds on television for an audience of several million people would put me on the Best Seller List pronto. Sadly, I may never know.

But feel free to check me out on Amazon.

Just maybe the next time you see me on television will be to collect my Pulitzer Prize.

After the Run Amazing Wife, Helpful Husband, 100-Mile Success For several years, 46-year old, Christina (Chris) Ballesteros of Orlando, Florida, was proving to do well with the 50-mile ultra distance. The running coach, who is a group leader of the Marathonfest program, had run the 12-hour TICK TOCK ULTRA, the Azalea 24-hour, and the 46-mile Pinellas Trail Challenge.

In 2015, Ballesteros decided that a 100mile ultra marathon finish would be part of her running journey. When she heard about the inaugural Lighthouse 100 in Northern Michigan, she knew it would be the one.

While she had not imagined that her name would appear on a 100-mile race roster for at least five more years, seeing a 100-mile distance that was a road race in weather conditions cooler than those in Florida, certainly appealed to Ballesteros.

“My husband had crewed me at Pinellas Trail and I really wanted him to be able to crew me for my first 100,” she shared.

Chris's husband, Steve, quickly agreed to the crewing opportunity, even though that meant that he would be driving for an expected 27 hours - his wife's hopeful finishing time. Steve devoted quite a bit of time to studying the race website, reading the rules, and learning the course.

“My husband was probably as excited about this race as I was,” Ballesteros said.

A few weeks before the race, Steve told his wife that he wanted to surprise her with custom shirts. While Chris was imagining neon yellow shirts that simply read, “Team Chris” on the back, Steve ultimately chose hot pink shirts with his shirt boldly reading, “My Wife is Amazing” on the front.

As everyone gathered by the starting line on race morning, runners and crew could be heard complimenting Steve on his shirt.

Even better, Chris could easily see him waiting for her along the course as she approached during the miles. She looked forward to seeing his supportive face every single time.

For the first 40 miles, Steve parked along the road about every mile, anxiously waiting with his car trunk open to offer his wife whatever she wanted or needed. They had packed an array of snacks including: Slim Jims, Nutella Uncrustables, Pringles, dried banana slices, pretzel M&M's, and Honey Stinger Waffles. They also had water, Gatorade, orange juice, coke, Bolthouse Farms Mocha Cappucino's, and Kelloggs protein drinks. Despite the prepared assortment of calories, Ballesteros actually ate very little.

“This was one of the biggest take-aways from my race. I don't need much solid

food. The only thing I did want but did not have was fruit. It was listed as an item that would be at the aid stations. However, after mile 30 the fruit was warm and sometimes crunchy so it never hit the spot,” she said.

A few sips of cold beer did hit the spot for her, shortly after mile 60 when she asked her husband to make a pit stop.

“He happily picked up a 6 pack and of course offered some to every runner that passed by. Quite a few drank some and one runner drank an entire bottle,” Chris said.

As the temperatures began to rise, from the expected 70s to the low 90s, Steve began to stop every half mile, and Chris began to pass many local runners who were not accustomed to running in that type of unseasonal heat. In addition to crewing and helping his wife, Steve sup-

ported several other runners who were struggling with the heated and hilly miles.

Though other crews did not necessarily extend the same courtesy to Chris, she forged ahead, through strong winds, along rocky road shoulders, beside fast-moving cars, and in the darkness of the evening hours.

“I was so afraid of being alone at night.

Not for my safety. I was afraid of missing a turn and going the wrong way,” Chris shared, saying that she always felt a sense of relief each time she saw her husband's car.

After 88 miles, Chris was walking and her husband decided to support her further by parking a half mile ahead of his wife and then walking back to meet her. They would then walk back to his car together. They continued this cycle for the next 8 miles.

For the final 4 miles, they repeated the pattern but in quarter mile increments.

“Instead of me thinking about the finish in mile increments I just thought about making it to his car. The next thing I knew he said he was parked just outside of the Lighthouse Park,” Chris remembered.

The longest run for Chris prior to the Lighthouse 100, was 94 miles. She had put in countless training miles, two weekly workouts at the gym, and lost eight

pounds. For Chris, the disciplined training leading to the 100-mile event was much more challenging that the 100-mile race itself.

“I had a "100 Mile" magnet in my car as a reminder of my goal. Many times I wanted to skip a lonely weekday run under the hot sun but my magnet reminded me of my goal,” Chris said - and her training helped her realize it.

She and Steve were walking together as they approached Lighthouse Park.

“We made the final turn into the park and there it was. THE FINISH!! I started to cry. Not because I ran 100 miles but because the finish was much closer than I had imagined. No lie! I turned to my husband and said "let's hold hands." After all, we did this TOGETHER. We were a TEAM. So we crossed holding hands,” Chris said, expounding by saying that Steve has always been her biggest fan, her support, and her loudest cheerleader.

Chris had entered the 100-miler with a 27-hour goal. Her official finishing time was 24:49. She was 15th out of 48 finishers and 7th female. After the run, Chris said that she could not have been successful at the Lighthouse 100 without her husband. Several of her fellow runners attributed much of their success to Steve's support as well.

“I was surprised at how many people approached the assistant race director and asked him to thank my husband for all of his help. Many of them said that he saved their races,” Chris said.

Hopefully, Chris's husband is prepared to carry on the helpful race day tradition because Chris has more running goals in near sight. She has the 46-mile Pinellas Trail Challenge where her primary goal is to successfully survive the miles in the heat. She has the 12-hour TICK TOCK ULTRA where she wants to hold onto her current title of Female Masters Champion, and she hopes to revisit her 100-mile achievement at the Azalea 24.

For now however, Chris is content basking in her current 100-mile success. - the Lighthouse 100.

“I was very proud of myself and my awesome husband who made it all possible.”

Running Psychology Having a Support Network It is often said that running is an individual sport, and to a great extent running is a very personal and individual sport.

However, even though an individual trains and races, there are usually many others behind the scenes that lend a helping hand.

Without others to help support, running performance would certainly be compromised and even enjoyment of the sport of running would be compromised as well. As an old African proverb says, "to go fast, go alone; to go far, go together." Yes, it's true, even though running is individual, there is really a team behind the individual.

Support can come in many different forms. Maybe the the most important is emotional support. All runners need people in their lives that stand behind them emotionally in both good and challenging times.

Running is a demanding activity, from both a physical and mental perspective.

Sometimes the demands can seem overwhelming. Running places physical stress on the body. No question, running can make you tired, especially if you're running a lot of miles. Trying to fit in training, work, family etc. can leave you feeling worn out, both physically and mentally. During times

By Richard Ferguson, Ph.D.

of high fatigue, having someone to encourage you and even help out with a few chores can mean everything. It might be a significant other, friend or even training partner, but a few words of encouragement can mean the world when you're stressed from the demands of life.

Of course, running has its ups and downs.

There are times of joy and exhilaration, but there are also times of disappointment and frustration. When things are going good with running, like having new personal bests, age group wins or personal goals being met, there is nothing like being able to share these moments with those who sup-

port you through thick and thin. A big part of the the fun of reaching a running goal is to be able to share the experience with others. Those close to you, whether friends, family or other runners, can share in your joy and celebration of a good performance.

With the ups of running there will also be some downs. Inevitably there will be a bad race, low periods of motivation and dreaded injuries. During these low periods a strong support network is invaluable. Even if it's just someone to talk to about your your frustration or disappointment, those close to you can help lift your spirits, get you motivated again and even add some humor about your situation. Things are easy when running is going well, but when it isn't, you need others in your corner to help you see things rationally, lift you up and get you back on track to feeling the joy you once did in your running.

Not just family, friends and other runners form a running support network. Coaches, Athletic Trainers, Therapists, Nutritionists and even Sport Psychologists are a big part of any running support network. Some runners have a regular coach to help them plan their training, while others may have informal "advisors" that serve the same purpose.

It doesn't matter if you have a coach or just an advisor, both can help you plan out a physiologically sound training program and also be a very objective source of knowledge and experience in your training. A coach can also be a good listener in those times of challenge.

Medically related professionals can also be a big part of a running support network.

Athletic Trainers can help you prevent and treat some running injuries. Their preventative exercise programs can identify weaknesses and help you strengthen weak movement patterns or joints. In the unfortunate event an injury does occur, Athletic Trainers and Physical Therapists can help you rehabilitate the injury and get back to running sooner than trying to do guess work rehabilitation yourself. Even a regular massage by a professional can help you recover faster and feel better.

All runners need energy to train and race, so understanding nutrition is a must for running health and performance. If you have concerns about your diet or are simply looking to eat healthier, consult with a nutritionist. Be sure to look for a nutritionist that is a Registered Dietician. There is so much false nutritional information and claims floating around that you have to be very careful about your source of nutrition knowledge.

Be careful about things on the Internet and in popular magazines. Many nutritional claims are simply false and have no scientific evidence behind them. Nancy Clark and her article each month in Running Journal is a great source of reputable nutrition information.

A Sport Psychologist can also be a valuable member of your support team. If you're having difficulty with anxiety, negative thinking or even sleeping, a Sport Psychologist came help you identify the source of your concerns and even offer sug-

how difficult it is to compete with the excessive number of races every weekend. It is pretty crazy how saturated our market is with a race within an hour's drive every single weekend day. All these races are pulling from the same group of runners, which results in fewer participants at each event and less competitive draw, not to mention the very cool race fields. We all see it every time we go to a shirt designs, post-race catering, and DJ race. I see it at our Labor Day race too playing entertaining music and the always popular trivia.

Enjoying the Picnic Island Adventure Run What if I don't like it? What if I can't do the obstacles? What if I get hurt?

These were questions that raced through my mind before the May 30, 2008 Picnic Island Adventure Run in Tampa, Florida.

Prior to this, I had only run road races, cross country races, and track races.

Adventure races were never on my radar and certainly were not that popular back then. I am so glad that I ventured outside my safe racing zone and tried something new.

I have written about these races. I keep coming back to these races and to writing about them because they are so special.

Unlike any of those popular obstacle races where the dangerous, often gross, obstacles are created for participants, Picnic Island features all naturally occurring obstacles.

The course is literally unique each time you race based on weather conditions, beach erosion, high or low tide, and whether it has recently rained. Anything you run over, crawl through, jump over, run over, wade through, or run up and down is all natural terrain at the park. Jim

Hartnett is the genius race director who skillfully pieces together the random beach, hills, grass, mangroves, mud, and water to create the masterpiece that is the Picnic Island Adventure Run. Over the years these races have swelled to 500+ participants, which created some challenging conditions when racing down a narrow stretch of beach or through single track “trails” through the mangroves.

The fun, competitiveness, and uniqueness are what drew people to this event.

Recently, participation numbers have decreased significantly. I honestly cannot understand why. The race itself is such a

Masters Running and Beyond Taking Your Run on the Road As I write this I have recently returned from a trip to Sweden. Not only did I get a chance to visit friends and family and to run in different surroundings during my visit, but weatherwise it was also a major awakening. I had almost forgotten what it was like to run in 50 degree temperature and high wind! I have gotten used to running in Florida weather, where I rarely need a long sleeved shirt, and I always carry a water belt.

Not every day was cool and windy though. A few times it was perfect running weather, with 60 degrees, sunshine and low wind. And regardless of the weather, I found it very refreshing to run in new surroundings, or in places where I hadn’t run in a long time. I usually look forward to running while I’m traveling, for these reasons.

But it may not always be easy to run while on the road. It all depends on where your travels take you, and what the schedule and weather are like at your destination. If you travel to a race you are all set of course. And if you have ever attended one of our RRCA Conventions, you know there will be the opportunity to run in the early morning hours with a bunch of fellow runners, sometimes in the hundreds.

But if your trip is not running related in itself, it may require some creativity and juggling of your schedule to get a run in.

I have been on both business trips and vacations where I had to go out at the crack of dawn if I wanted to run, which often prompted me to find out whether it was safe to go out at all. Sometimes I opted for the gym or the treadmill instead.

And on more than one occasion over the years, I was nursing injuries that forced me to find a pool or exercise bike for my workouts.

But most of the time I would happily head out on roads or trails. The latter would normally be a wide bridle trail, because of my fear of tripping and falling.

(As I’ve gotten older I don’t pick up my feet as I used to, and have a tendency to stumble over almost nothing!) If I’m in a new town, going for a run gives me the opportunity to check out the neighborhood a little, taking note of restaurants and shopping areas for future exploration.

It can also give me a chance to check out the scenery, maybe even wildlife. I have never encountered a bear, wolf or the likes, but I have sometimes seen interesting bird life. Like the time when a Mama Duck patiently waited for all her ducklings to jump down from a wall, one at a

time! I usually don’t bring a phone or camera during my runs because I don’t want to carry it, but this was definitely one of the times that I wish I did.

There’s always something new to learn or discover while I travel no matter where I run. It gives me a break from the familiar surroundings at home, which I also enjoy but can be repetitive at times. And regardless where I am, I will often return to my room with a cup of coffee, a bottle of water, or a newspaper, that I picked up towards the end of my run. Call me odd if you wish, but I enjoy “killing two birds with one stone” this way, getting what I need without making an extra trip to the hotel lobby or the store.

Among my friends it varies whether they run while away from home or not.

The most dedicated will usually find a way to do so. Rietta Couper of Chapel Hill, NC, enjoys running while traveling, and sometimes gets more exercise than she bargained for. During a recent trip to Washington, DC, for example, she ended up running nine miles instead of five, because she got lost! And if the hotel she’s staying at has a pool, she also likes to take a few laps after her run.

While I tend to find a way to run no matter where my travels take me, I am not as diligent when it comes to cross training. Most of the time I skip the gym until I return home again, only to find myself very sore after my first post-travel strength workout. Running is easy while on the road, since I can usually get it done just by heading out the door. Going to the gym on the other hand takes more planning and effort. Unless I’m staying in a hotel with a health club, it can be difficult just to find a gym.

But how about doing situps and pushups in my room? Somehow I find it hard to drum up the motivation to do so when I’m on a vacation or maybe a business trip, and face days filled with other pursuits. So I come up with “excuses,” for

example that it’s OK to skip my weight training for a few days or weeks because we keep our muscular conditioning for a longer time than our stamina while not exercising. And while this is true, I could probably have found 15 minutes here and there for a few pushups and crunches if I were dedicated enough. But I am and will forever be primarily a runner, and for me any other exercise is only “icing on the cake”!

If you are a seasoned traveler like I am, you have probably figured out how to get your running in while away from home.

But if you don’t travel very often you may find it a challenging experience to run in new and unfamiliar surroundings. This in turn can discourage some of you from running or working out at all while on the road. So I want to finish this column by sharing a few tips how you can make it happen.

First and foremost, stay in runner friendly hotels and venues whenever you have a choice. Find a part of town that is

safe, and has parks and greenways to run in.

Also, check with hotel staff and/or your hosts, and also with local runners where may be good places to run. If you have time you may even want to look up the local running club and take a run or two with them! If not, try to find a buddy to run with.

Last but not the least, check the local weather forecast before you leave. While forecasts are never perfect, they will give you a general idea what the weather might be like at your destination, which will make it easier to pack the right clothes and gear. And if applicable, don’t forget raingear and/or reflective clothing.

If you follow this advice, you may find that running while on the road is not only easy, but can also be a lot of fun! All that’s required is a little “homework” ahead of time. If you want to, you may even find a race to run at your destination during your stay. And in that case you may find yourself with the incentive for a repeat trip next year!

Running Journal • August, 2017

Learning from the Young Guns Mastering the Fartlek Interval training has been used in distance running since Finland’s Paavo Nurmi won the first of his 9 career Olympic gold medals in 1920. Nurmi went on to break 22 world records in distances from the mile to the 20K over the following decade, but the rest of the world would eventually catch up and evolve. In 1937 Swedish coach named Gösta Holmér, fed up with the Finnish domination in cross-country (an Olympic sport back then), began training his runners with an innovative workout regimen called “fartlek” running. The aim of fartlek running was to improve both speed and endurance. With fartlek running, Swedish for “speed play,” Holmér’s athletes dominated the sport in the 1940’s and earned Holmér the title, “Father of the Fartlek.”

Fartlek running, like interval training, remains relevant for coaches and athletes around the world today. A fartlek run is a continuous run with pace changes throughout, both faster and slower. In contrast to interval training, the recovery portions of a fartlek workout are performed as a continuous run rather than with rest. One of the beautiful things about fartlek running is it can serve many purposes whether you’re looking for a moderate workout early in a training plan, a harder workout later in a training plan, more of a speed based workout with shorter, quicker pieces, or a strength workout with longer, sustained pieces.

The following are just a few examples of different fartlek workouts that meet a variety of needs.

Telephone Pole Fartlek: The “telephone pole fartlek” is a workout that symbolizes the true nature of a fartlek run in that there are no set distances, paces, or times. As a running community we tend to quantify everything we do, but stepping away from that, especially early in a training program where you’re just building fitness, is a good way to transition into some harder running. As with any workout, and all fartlek running, it is important to start with 15-20 minutes of easy running in order to warm your muscles up.

The “telephone pole fartlek” is traditionally done on a road lined with telephone poles and performed by alternating paces between telephone poles - speeding up from one to the next and then slowing down until the next pole. However, this workout doesn’t have to be done with telephone poles; it could be done with any landmarks along your normal running

route. The idea is to listen to your body and push yourself a little bit but finish feeling like you could have done more.

Descending Tempo Fartlek: The descending tempo fartlek is the fartlek I implement most frequently, because not only is it a great workout but it teaches the patience required for proper race execution. For the descending tempo fartlek the goal is to get progressively faster throughout the workout, which requires discipline to not run too fast in the early stages. The workout starts with a 6 minute piece at the pace you could race for roughly 1 hour.

After each quicker piece the recovery run is half the time of the piece you just ran, and it should be run between 60 and 90 seconds per mile slower than the quicker piece. Therefore, after the 6 minute piece, the recovery run is 3 minutes followed immediately by a quicker 5 minute piece that is run a few seconds per mile quicker than the 6 minute piece. The 5 minute piece is followed by a 2.5 minute recovery run. Each quicker piece is one minute shorter than the previous and a few seconds per mile quicker. The entire workout is 6 minutes – 5 minutes – 4 minutes – 3 minutes – 2 minutes – 1 minute. Keep in mind the recovery gets shorter as well, always half the time of the quicker piece, underscoring the importance of being patient early. This fartlek is best suited to a strength building part of your training program where you are focusing on tempo workouts.

Moneghetti Fartlek: The Moneghetti fartlek is named after the great Australian marathoner, Steve Moneghetti, who created the workout. The Moneghetti, like any fartlek, can be altered based on where you are at in your training, but typically it is done in the final 10 weeks before a key race. The fartlek is only 20 minutes long, but don’t let the brevity fool you. All of the quicker paces should be run 10-15 seconds per mile slower than 5K pace and all the recovery runs should be run 50-60 seconds per mile slower than 5K pace.

The fartlek starts with 2 x 90 seconds with a 90 second recovery run between each. Then 4 x 60 seconds with 60 seconds recovery run between each, followed by 4 x 30 seconds with 30 seconds recovery run between each, and lastly, 4 x 15 seconds with 30 seconds recovery run between each.

Ladder Fartlek: The ladder fartlek is a great tune-up workout for race week as it’s short and sweet with some quicker turnover work. The ladder name comes from the structure of the workout, which is 1 minute – 2 minutes – 3 minutes – 2 minutes – 1 minute with an easy 90 seconds recovery run between each piece.

The 1 minute pieces should be run at current 5K pace, the 2 minute pieces at current 10K pace, and the 3 minute piece 1015 seconds per mile slower than current 10K pace. The 90 seconds recovery is run at normal easy run pace or up to 30 seconds per mile slower. To make this workout more of a strength-based workout, add 4 minutes – 5 minutes – 4 minutes in the middle of the ladder.

Every major training program has successfully used fartlek running since the Swedish world record holders of the 1940’s. Following in the footsteps of history’s great runners by utilizing fartlek

BRATS Running and Training Society Growing BIRMINGHAM, AL “Run, Train, Laugh, Celebrate” is the mantra of the Birmingham Running and Training Society, more affectionately known as BRATS. Three years old on July 29th and with over 400 members, BRATS is made up of runners who request to join the group, making it the largest free social run group in Birmingham.

Initially organized as an intermediate running

group, BRATS now boasts runners from sub 2:40 marathoners and post collegiate athletes to beginners and everything in between.

Stop by races in or around Birmingham, and you will likely find herds of BRATS clad in their “Original BRATS” club singlets and shirts.

There are daily runs posted on the page and most days will find multiple group runs at varying paces with larger groups meeting on Saturday and

Sunday. Runs include Tuesday speedwork days, weekly tempo days, and always an option for some nice easy miles.

Among BRATS members are 15 certified run coaches through RRCA or USATF, and multiple registered dieticians and physical therapists, making BRATS a source of information and resource for runners of all skill levels.

There is a concentration of marathons and half marathons among the group with the Chicago Marathon and Indianapolis Monumental Marathon among the popular destination races for fall 2017, and locally, our hometown,Magic City Half Marathon in November. Be on the lookout for BRATS! They're usually the ones running, training, laughing and celebrating (most anything).

About Road Race Records in Georgia

By Joyce Hodges-Hite, Georgia Records Keeper Though Road Race Records standards are not as stringent on the state level in Georgia as they are on the national level, there are still standards that Georgia observes. For example, on the national level, to be considered record eligible, a run must be done in a USATF sanctioned race. In Georgia, a record can be set on a USATF certified course, but the race need not be sanctioned.

However, the application for a record on a certified course clearly states that USATF rules will be followed. Naturally, a race director can ignore some of those rules, for example, the use of headphones.

But if a record is sought, the rules must be followed.

Lately, some runners (actually, their parents) are ignoring the rule concerning pacing and athlete assistance during the race. The rule in question is number 144. There are many reasons being given for breaking (ignoring) this rule, but the rule still stands. If the race director cannot monitor the entire course, and if there is no other way to determine whether the rule is being broken, possibly nothing can be done about it. BUT, if it is determined that the rule is being broken, the run will not be eligible for a Georgia record.

smaller field and slower winning times. Races are great but perhaps we have reached that level of too much of a good thing.

Picnic Island is so unique that it gives me a feeling that no other race does. When I need some help rekindling my spark for running or racing, Picnic Island is always the solution. The fun, the challenge, and the course all make you remember why you love running. Every time. Without fail.

The sun may be setting on the Picnic Island Adventure Run, if it has not already.

Right now the website has no date for next year, just two question marks before 2018. If this year was the last, I am so thankful I was able to run it with Lauren. She is the one who convinced me to try it in the first place back in 2008. I have so many amazing memories of racing at Picnic Island. But my favorite part has always been bringing new runners to try it each year and watching their extremely varied reactions to it. Some loved it, some hated it, but all had a fun adventure and admitted they were glad they did it. I hope to watch another sunset just after the finish line on Picnic Island next year.

Korir, Tuliamuk Win USA 10K Championships at Peachtree ATLANTA - July 4, 2017 - It was a Grand Old Flag indeed for two new American citizens at the finish line of the AJC Peachtree Road Race, as Leonard Korir and Aliphine Tuliamuk won the 2017 USA 10 km Championships in similar patriotic spirit but in very different styles.

For Tuliamuk, the race was wrapped up early, her winning time of 32:49 putting her 12 seconds clear of runner-up Sarah Pagano. But Korir would team up with training partner Shadrack Kipchirchir to provide some fireworks with a wild sprint finish, Korir prevailing in 28:16 to Kipchirchir's 28:17.

The winners each took home $10,000 and their first 10K titles.

“I think he wanted to win, too, but you know what?

The finish line is over there and they say it's for anybody who gets there first,” said Korir.

For Tuliamuk, the race was put away much earlier on the course. A 5:05 second mile left only six women in a lead pack controlled by the 28-year-old from Santa Fe, who then led a charge up Cardiac Hill before surging just over the crest and leaving rivals Marielle Hall, Jordan Hasay and Sarah Pagano to fall in behind, with Jess Tonn and Susannah Sullivan dropping back. By Mile 5, Tuliamuk was on the way to winning her sixth USA title since becoming a citizen last year. Pagano would pass Hasay for second just after the turn onto 10th Street, less than a half mile from the finish alongside Piedmont Park.

“There is nothing better than getting a flag on America's birthday,” the native of Kenya said as she charmingly posed for photos with volunteers while awaiting a TV interview, dripping with sweat but other-

www.running.net wise looking fresh. “This will be the most memorable flag I have.”

Korir, on the other hand, would melt to the ground just after breaking the tape, his checking account clearly overdrawn on a hot, humid day that saw the race begin under a Red Alert (“conditions could be dangerous and runners may need to slow down or consider stopping”). A full two minutes went by as he recuperated on the pavement.

“He pushed me to my limits,” said Korir. “I would say this is the toughest run in my career. They made it tough on me today. It was painful from the beginning.”

Thanks largely to the front-running of Chris Derrick, who would finish fourth, the pack went through Mile 1 in 4:28. At the midway point, a pack of six was led by Derrick, Korir and Jon Grey, but Kipchirchir and Sam Chelanga were both right there. With about 600 meters to go, Chelanga surged to break the pack, with Korir going with him and Kipchirchir right behind, the three forming a synchronized triangle before Kipchirchir move up to join the others. Korir and Kipchirchir, teammates in the Army's World Class Athletic Program, then left training partner Chelanga behind as they dueled to the line.

“I wanted to win so bad,” said Kipchirchir, who has finished as runner-up in at least four USA championships in the past 18 months. “I wanted to break him, but he wasn't breakable.”

Winning the women's masters division for the fourth consecutive year was Jen Rhines, while Bernard Lagatwho finished fifth overall-won the men's title.

In the Shepherd Center Wheelchair Division, Tatyana McFadden marked her return to racing after being felled by blood clots this spring with her seventh victory here in as many tries, going wire-to-wire for a victory in 24:17. For the men, 18-year-old Daniel Romanchuk, who won the Junior Peachtree last year, bested a field of elders to win in 20:02.

“I felt really good out there today,” said McFadden, who hasn't raced since finishing fourth in the Boston Marathon last April. “This really was a good test for me to see how everything is going.”

Masland, Hutchins Win Grandfather Mountain Marathon GRANDFATHER MOUNTAIN, N.C. - If one thing can be said for running coach Caleb Masland, he teaches by example.

Masland, 36, of Boone, N.C., was the first-place finisher in the 50th annual Grandfather Mountain Marathon July 8 as part of the 62nd Grandfather Mountain Highland Games.

With a time of 2:53.14, Masland completed the 26.2-mile race from Appalachian State University's Kidd Brewer Stadium in Boone to MacRae Meadows at the base of Grandfather Mountain - an elevation climb of 1,267 feet.

At about the 15.5-mile mark, though, he started having doubts.

“It was just so humid today, and humidity really gets me,” Masland said. “I stopped for a few minutes … and I was ready to throw in the towel, but I decided to keep going, and it was just one foot in front of the other today.”

Fortunately, the owner and operator of Coach Caleb, an online running school, had some motivation waiting for him on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

“My wife and kids, I knew they were waiting for me at the Parkway,” Masland said. “Also, I coach runners for a living, and I know they really look up to me to never give in, so I decided to keep going.”

Masland said it felt even more special to finish first in the 50th anniversary of the marathon.

“I really love this race,” he said. “It has a special place in my heart. Even when it's really hard, I love it, and I guarantee I'll be back next year.”

This marks Masland's third time running - and his third time winning, having taken first in 2014 and 2015.

Following Masland was Matt Longworth, 36, of Wadesboro, N.C., with a time of 3:07.06 and Caleb Critcher, 33, of Deep Gap, N.C., with a time of 3:09.10.

“I did the Marine Corps (Marathon), and that was tough because it was in the heat, but with this hill … it's got to be the hardest one I've ever done,” said Longworth, who, when not competing, is training to become a home inspector.

The 50th Grandfather marathon was Critcher's first, and it won't be the Appalachian State control shop staffer's last.

“It was pretty rough out there … but I was on the podium, which was one of my goals, so I'm real excited about that,” he said. “I'll definitely do it again.”

The finish line was no stranger to Suzanne Hutchins, 37, of Gastonia, N.C. Hutchins. A nurse, Hutchins was the first female finisher with a time of 3:13.45 and was

last year's first-place female finisher, as well.

This was her fifth time running the Grandfather Mountain Marathon, a race that keeps calling her back due to the nature of the course - literally.

“It's the course,” she said. “I enjoy the nature and beauty of it, but it was hard. It was a very hard and

Hutchins was followed by Mary Michaels, 33, of Moody, Ala., with a time of 3:25.13, and Danielle Soroka-Jones, 43, of Salisbury, N.C., with a time of 3:42.59.

Michaels has only been running marathons since May 2016 and was elated to finish second.

“I started running late, but it's never too late to start,” said Michaels, who works as a veterinarian technician.

“Running is my hobby, but animals are my passion.”

Soroka-Jones, a real estate appraiser, was also happy to place. “It was a beautiful course,” she said, “and a wonderful experience.”

According to Race Director Jim Deni, 376 people signed to race the 50th Grandfather Mountain Marathon.

“That's a great number for a (tough) marathon,” he said, “and we're ranked within the top 25 marathons in the country. This is such a special event, to have a marathon as part of a highland games for 50 years consecutively. You know, we never had to cancel it. Even with bad weather, we'd sometimes got to the meadows, and there wasn't a tent standing, but we still finished.”

RUNNING PSYCHOLOGY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 gestions on how to improve things like concentration, emotional arousal, goal setting and self-talk. The word psychology often has negative connotations, but a Sport Psychologist is there to help improve the mental aspects of your running. Seeing a Sport Psychologist does not mean you have any problem, they are there to make you better and get more enjoyment from running.

So when you see a runner out training or in a race, they may appear to be alone.

However, behind that solitary runner stands a strong support network that in many instances forms a team. So don't try and go it alone. Work on forming a strong support network in your running.

Your "team" can help you run faster, stay healthy and even help you enjoy running even more.

39th Annual Running Journal Grand Prix Champions The Running Journal Grand Prix completed its 39th season on Memorial Day in Huntsville, AL, at the Cotton Row 10K. The series began in August at the 39th running of the Midnight Flight 10K in Anderson, SC. Next up was the Magic City Half Marathon in Birmingham, AL, in November, followed by the only marathon on the series, the Rocket City Marathon in Huntsville, AL. Unfortunately, the first Grand Prix race in January, the Mississippi Blues Half Marathon, had to be cancelled due to icy weather in Jackson, MS. But good weather met runners at the Winter Flight 8K in Salisbury, NC, later in the month. March saw GP runners at the beach for the Myrtle Beach Half Marathon and then a trip to Germantown, TN, for the Germantown Half Marathon at mid month. Capping off the season was the Cotton Row 10K. The top 20 overall and top 8 in other GP divisions scored points at each race with the Rocket City Marathon counting for double points and all half marathons scoring 25 bonus points. Runners needed to run at least two GP races to qualify for seasonending awards, so not all divisions had winners.Only runners in the southern region are eligible to compete in the series.

Leading the way in this year's Running Journal Grand Prix were two prolific road racers from Columbia, SC, while the Female Veterans Champion continued her winning ways.

Orinthal Striggles of Columbia, SC, was the big winner in this season's Running Journal Grand Prix, taking wins in both the Overall Male and Masters divisions. In the Overall Male category, the 41-year-old tallied 450 Orinthal Striggles, Overall Male and points. He finished with second-place Masters Champion points at the Winter Flight 8K, running 27:53. He was third at the Rocket City Marathon in 2:41:43. Striggles was fourth at the first race of the season, the Midnight Flight 10K (38:29) and finished 11th at the Magic City Half Marathon (1:19:14). He finished off the season with a 36:33 run at the Cotton Row 10K, good enough for 12th place points.

Striggles totaled 610 points in the Masters division, finishing first in the division in four of his five races.

His only second place run came at the final race of the season, the Cotton Row 10K. A frequent road racer, when Striggles was not racing on the Grand Prix circuit this year, his name could be found nearly every week near the top of various races across his home state of South Carolina.

City Marathon with a 3:38:08 run. He also placed third at the Cotton Row 10K in 46:04.

Ted Rust, 62, of New Bern, NC, finished second in the Male Senior Grandmasters division. Rust scored 205 points. He was second at both the Midnight Flight 10K (54:02) and Magic City half Marathon (1:59:04).

Seventy-nine-year-old Thomas Eison of Greenville, SC, led the Male Veterans division with 290 points. Eison started the season off with a first-place run at the Midnight Flight 10K in 59:31. He was fifth at the Winter Flight 8K (48:03) and second at the Germantown Half Marathon (2:14:40).

He finished fifth at the final race of the season, the Cotton Row 10K in 1:01:00.

His son, Jordan, was second in the Male Masters division.

Thirty-seven-year-old Shawanna White, of Columbia, SC, led the Overall Female division with 565 points. She started out the season with a first-place run at the Midnight Flight 10K in 38:33. She followed that with a second-place finish at the Magic City Half Marathon, running 1:22:35. White also placed second at the Rocket City Marathon (2:54:25) and the Winter Flight 8K (29:31). She finished Shawanna White the season with a fourth-place finish at the Overall Female Champion Cotton Row 10K in 38:52.

White is a physical education teacher and is coached by Orinthal Striggles. Like Striggles, she is also a frequent face on the road race circuit, and last year won the award for Female Long Distance Runner of the year in South Carolina.

Betty Burrell, 73, of Pendleton, SC, led the Female Veterans division for the third year in a row. Burrell scored 195 points. She finished second at the first race of the season, the Midnight Flight 10K, running 1:21:18. She was also second at the Myrtle Beach Half Marathon (2:36:44). She finished the season with a first-place finish at the Cotton Row 10K in 1:22:24.

Jordan Eison, 42, of Atlanta, GA, finished second in the Masters division, scoring 175 points. His best finish was a fourth place at the Winter Flight 8K in 33:37. He was sixth at the Midnight Flight 10K (44:51), seventh at the Germantown Half Marathon (1:32:10) and scored eighth-place points at the Magic City Half Marathon (1:31:48).

CELEBRATE 20 YEARS RUNNING

2013 Big headline shows have graced Savannah’s stage, but no one stands out more than Jackal who took a chainsaw to a chair in true rock ‘n’ roll style!

1998 The inaugural Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon took place in San Diego, forever changing the sport of running.

2001 We finished on the oceanfront at the first ever destination half marathon, Rock ‘n’ Roll Virginia Beach.

2015 The Military Challenge in Virginia Beach is introduced and receives the largest turnout across the series with 4,500 participants.

2010 Since its inauguration, Rock ‘n’ Roll Savannah is the only event in the series where river boat ferry is the preferred mode of transporation to the Health & Fitness Expo.
