President’s Column

Never use never A few Sundays ago, I was coaching my 6-year-old’s school track team when one of the other coaches came hobbling over. I asked what happened, and he responded, “The Go! St. Louis Marathon.”

My son, who knows I run, said to me, “Daddy, you used to run marathons.”

“Yes, yes, I did buddy,” is what I told him. I then went on to explain to him that at the present time, I wasn’t sure if and when I would ever run another.

I ran 5 in the first year he was born, and many others since. He has the medals hanging in his toy room, and when he was younger, he would wear them running around the house proudly.

That conversation with my son got me thinking. Lately, I have been letting selfdoubt creep into my mind about toeing the line of another marathon in the future. After a scary ending to my last one in late 2014, and then a subsequent injury, I told myself I needed a break. I didn’t know if I ever wanted to run another one. I even used the word “never” a few times. I had let the “never” word creep into my vocabulary, because I didn’t think I was capable of running the marathon I wanted again. When I started running almost 10 years ago, I told myself I was never going to run a half marathon. The distance is just too far and I could never do that. So, I ran a half marathon. After that I said I would never run a marathon. That distance is way too far, I could never do that. Then I ran a marathon.

There are so many stories like mine, and probably many that played out in the month of April with races like the Go! St. Louis and the Boston Marathon. I would bet there were

many runners crossing finish lines that once used the word “never.” Imagine if the “never” kept them all from their great accomplishments?

While I am not sure if I will run another marathon, I can say that I won’t use the word “never” when talking about it. If we let the never take over, we wouldn’t know what we are capable of. We would miss out on so many of life’s great moments.

I caught myself that Sunday at track practice from using the “never” word. Not because deep down I know one day I will run another marathon, but for what I hope to teach my son. Believing you can do something far outweighs the belief you can’t. It’s certainly a much more powerful lesson than teaching a 6-year-old to stay in his lane, run through the line, or fist-pumping at the finish.

Last, but certainly not least, on behalf of the St. Louis Track Club Board and Community, I want to send a huge thank-you to Sallie Story. Sallie has served as the Editor for the club for the past 5 years and has done a tremendous job. We wish her all the best in her new adventures, and hope to see her at future SLTC events. We also want to welcome our new Editor, Amy Marxkors. Amy is somewhat of a known commodity in running and writing in St. Louis. She is the author of “Powered by Hope: The Teri Griege Story,” and is also a columnist for the Fleet Feet newsletter. We are very excited to have Amy join the SLTC team!

Never say never. See you on the path.

The Grapevine

By Donna Springer

Jason Romero makes way across U.S. on fundraising run

Best wishes to Jason Romero, friend of SLTC Board member Rae Mohrmann. Jason is making a run across America to raise funds for the United States Association of Blind Athletes.

“As a legally blind person, I have become ‘involuntarily retired,” he said. “I have come to know and understand a myriad of issues affecting the visually impaired (“VI”) and blind on a very personal level. I want to take this opportunity to help redefine society’s expectations and understandings of the VI and blind communities. Hopefully this can inspire us as a community to understand that regardless of our eyesight, we all have unyielding potential. We just need to believe in one another.”

Jason “Relentless” Romero began his journey from Santa Monica Pier, California, on March 24, and hopes to reach Boston by the end of May. Missouri stops include Weaubleau, Osage Beach, Jefferson City, Mexico, and Louisiana. Illinois stops include Beardstown, Havana, and Heyworth. Jason has sufficient vision to run solo, with help of a support vehicle. Other runners are welcome to join him. As of April 27, he had reached Missouri, had run for 35 days, and had covered 1,714 miles. The website www.visionrunusa.com tracks his progress.

Jason ,46, was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, which involves progressive vision loss, at age 14.

Accomplishments include earning a Juris Doctorate Degree, practicing law, running a $400 million company for General Electric, competing in Ironman triathlons, three Leadville 100-mile endurance races, and the Boston Marathon. He is the father of three children, ages 10 to 16.

SLTC’s Rae, who has completed 100+ marathons, including marathons in all 50 states, met Jason 5 years ago while running the Denver marathon. “It was very early in the race. We began talking, and ran most of it together. We lost each other at the finish, and the next day I received an email asking if I was the person he met. The next day I met Jason and some of his friends to run, and we have been friends ever since. He says I inspire him, but it is definitely the other way around. I have never met a more positive person with such a ‘can-do’ attitude. He ran my 100th marathon right beside me, all the way.”

Go! St. Louis ushers in new president in Mona Langenberg

Best wishes to Mona Langenberg, who is stepping up as President of GO! St. Louis, replacing Nancy Lieberman, who is stepping down after 16 years as President. Nancy Lieberman founded GO! St. Louis in 2000.

“I am both honored and excited to take on the role of President at GO! St. Louis,” Mona said. “Our mission is something I have been passionate about all my life. We have a great team here at GO! St. Louis that I am thrilled to be leading.”

Mona’s former position was Director of Operations for GO! St. Louis. Her duties have included coordinating the volunteer program, organizing the Health and Fitness Expo, overseeing registrations, and developing policies and procedures. As a Washington University-St. Louis student, she worked as an intern with Nancy Lieberman during GO! St. Louis’ founding in 2000. She brings a wealth of management experience to her new role.

Congratulations to all finishers of GO! St. Louis events April 9 and 10. Half-marathoners and mara-

Pauline Thitu of Manor, Texas won the women’s division, time 1:15.39.

‘The Tremors’ raise more than $3,000 during Mature Mile

A large crowd of participants 60 years and older completed The Mature Mile in Forest Park on Saturday, April 9. Among the participants were several walkers with Parkinson’s Disease. Light blue T-shirts graced the sea of Mature Milers cruising the 1-mile circular course. One subgroup from a St. Peters exercise program chose “The Tremors” as their group name. The Tremors raised more than $3,000 for Parkinson’s Disease research and support.

My Boston Marathon: by Roger Moore

By Roger Moore --The Boston Marathon. It’s the Holy Grail of distance running, right? The race every marathoner would like to run. Every marathoner except maybe me. Until three years ago.

I started my running career, if you want to call it that, in 2003, and I always wanted to qualify for Boston, but I didn’t care about going. It’s just a big, famous, overpriced weekend, right? Well, yes. And no. When the bombings happened in 2013, I was deeply angered that someone would do that to runners, to “my people”.

I know the target was simply picked for its size, for maximum casualties and maximum shock value/effect. But runners (and most supporters) are just too good as people. You can’t DO that to them. And seeing the immediate and later response from the running community and the greater Boston area sealed it for me. I had to go be a small representative of that resolve. Had to.

So I trained harder, and after a couple of big PRs last year, I got in. Let’s Go!!!

I was given an ambitious goal by a few friends that Boston was where I should try to PR by another 8+ minutes. Break three hours in Boston, how amazing would that be? Until I got hurt 18 days prior. Then the question became “Can I do it at all?” Once I decided I could, the goal reverted back to my default from years ago. Stay under four hours. And just soak it in, enjoy yourself.

I don’t think I could NOT, even had I tried. Honestly, everything about Boston, and my run in particular, is the exact opposite of my norm. And it was AMAZING. I tend to gravitate to smallish races. Not

so much. Just the Adidas booth at the expo was larger than many entire expos at a typical Roger race. And the expo as a whole was overwhelming, and fantastic. So many great vendors, two different booths where runners could get taped pre-race if needed, a Sam Adams booth from which I may or may not have taken several free samples, and so much more.

One of the best aspects was a film playing on repeat, shot from a vehicle driving the course, taking you through your race in advance mile by mile, with commentary throughout from former winners, the race director, Dick and Rick Hoyt, and many others.

It was helpful enough and interesting enough that several of us watched it at least twice.

The pre-race pasta dinner the night before (included in the registration fee) went smoothly, despite huge numbers. More free beer, too? Yeah, OK, if I must.

Properly fueled, I was now ready (as I was going to be, anyway) for race day.

And holy wow, was I ever unprepared for that! I would guess that roughly 24 miles of the course was lined with spectators, in many places several rows deep. These communities take their race very seriously. And as planned, I took it all in, running a race that could hardly have been less me. I went out as slowly and alone as I could, allowing everyone in my corral to get well ahead of me before crossing that mat, because I know me and my lack of restraint. It’s hard to run but not race. On the way, I chatted with as many folk around my pace as I could. I high-fived just about every kid along the course that I could. I whooped and I whooooed and I hollered every

Page 9

chance I got. There was a row of kids cheering on mini-trampolines, and one was open. Heck yeah I stopped and bounced for a bit.

I jumped into some cheer team’s group photo. I stopped to pet a beautiful dog in the final 10K. I might or might not have kissed a couple of girls at Wellesley College. I doubled back and talked to a couple of sign-holders. I “Go Cardinals!”-ed as many Red Sox fans as I clearly saw. I thanked as many volunteers and spectators as was really feasible. I simply had fun for 3:53:36, and other than the pain that started by at least mile 7, it was perfect. I walked more than I would have liked, and I limped a lot, and my form fell apart completely, and it was almost certainly the best experience in my 13 years of running.

If you get the chance to go, in any capacity, don’t be 2003-March 2013 me. GO. Bring on health and Boston 2017!

Boston: It just keeps getting better

By Jill Finklang --I BQ’d at my first Boston Marathon, ran strong in my second, but my third Boston Marathon was my most incredible marathon experience EVER! Getting up at the crack of dawn for a 10:50 a.m. start is challenging, no matter how you prepare. We had a gorgeous, warm, sunny day in Hopkinton. And while everyone back home was excited to tell me, “looks like you have a perfect day for running,” only runners can understand that we had a perfect day for spectating!

I’ve run 27 marathons and knew that while I needed to be in control for 26.2 miles, there were just some things outside of my control that day, whether I liked it or not.

The phenomenal people of Boston were out celebrating Patriot’s Day in full force, cheering us on the entire race course. Nothing else compares. I felt good the first 5K, but then the warm temps had more of an impact than I would have predicted. I made a deal with myself to get to the 10K point and then see how I felt. I started high-fiving every single person I could. Early on, someone knocked my watch and it went into a mode I’ve never seen... so… I just turned it off. Yes, the engineer, data-obsessed woman turned off her watch early on in a marathon. And it was the best decision I could have made.

Then the party started! All the runners around me were so darn serious so I just continued to have fun and it totally distracted me from how I was feeling. I wasted tons of steps zig-zagging back and forth with the high fives, and backtracking to make sure I didn’t miss the kids. I kept thinking, if my Fleet Feet coach, Tim Carey, saw me, he’d have his head in his hands saying “she is running the most inefficient marathon ever, what is she doing!” I stopped to walk with people when they looked like they were struggling and got them running again.

I slowed down to run with paraplegics and got in stride with them for a while. I was hugged and kissed by total strangers. Wellesley was as amazing as ever, and I was happy to see some guys there, too! I was asked to stop for selfies, and, of course, I did. I was that cheese-ball runner, yelling to the crowd “Boston, I love you!” blowing them kisses over and over, and they were just cheering and screaming for me! This went on for over 20 miles, it was exhausting expending the extra energy, I felt like a celebrity, and loved every minute of it.

I was crushed when I thought I missed my husband

and sister at Heartbreak Hill, contemplated running back down the hill to find him, but a friendly Bostonian let me use their phone to call and I finally found them. The final mile was the saddest part because I didn’t want it to all be over. I took my sweet time on Boylston and soaked up every minute of it. I just walked/trotted that stretch, touching every hand I could. People gave me roses, continued to hug me, and I was an absolute wreck crying my eyes out. I thought about turning back to repeat that stretch again and then thought Security might not be happy with me. Then my amazing day of feeling like a total rock star was over.

My BQ time is 4:00 and I ran a 3:46 last May. I finished Boston in 4:49 and thought being a full hour over the marathon that earned me a bib in Boston was just perfect.

I know I didn’t get to see all my training payoff through a clock time, but what I learned after marathon 28 is that it doesn’t always have to be about me.

As marathoners, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves and seem to only measure our success by the clock.

I’m hoping I inspired just one of the many wonderful spectators in Boston to want to have the experience of a lifetime that I did, lace up a pair of running shoes and go run a mile, dream big, and some day run the Boston Marathon!

Ask Styles!

What can I do about chafing?

Q: I just ran a very rainy race and ended up with a lot of chafing. Please help, it hurts! -Jon Y. A: Congrats on your race, Jon. Unfortunately, no matter how many coats of Body Glide you put on, chafe happens. And if you’re anything like Ask Styles, you probably screamed a lot in that first post-race shower. The best thing you can do is to continue to shower in luke-warm water and, if possible, apply an antibacterial ointment to it (Neosporin, Desitin, etc).

Finally, try to let the area breathe as much as possible by wearing loose clothing your sore spot(s). Be patient, it the pain should go away in a day or two.

Good luck!

Q: Hey Styles, thanks to El Nino, our spring came pretty quickly this year. Instead of slowly acclimating to warmer temps, I bonked in response to running in 30-degree weather versus 70-degree weather over two days. Any advice on how to acclimate to the warmer temps? David E. A: If Ask Styles isn’t talking about running, she’s talking about the weather. Yes, spring came pretty quickly this year, and while that’s a pretty good thing (Warm Temps! Thunderstorms!), it means our runs went from comfortably chilly to hot and sweaty in a matter of days. There’s really no solid advice on how get your body adapted to the warmth more quickly than normal, you just have to get out there and run.

Ease into your workouts, and maybe take the miles a little slower than normal for the first few days/weeks

until you start to feel comfortable again. And, as the temps continue to climb, make sure to hydrate, wear sunscreen, and try to time your runs so you’re not running in the hottest part of the day. Stay cool, buddy!

Q: What’s the best way to recover from a marathon? I ran one last week and I still can’t move.

Don M. A: A long time ago, a good friend gave me this advice: For every mile you race, that’s the number of days you must recover. Now that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to lay around in bed, eat Cape Cod Kettle Chips by the bagful, and avoid any kind of activity; it just means that you shouldn’t get to aggressive with getting back into another training cycle so quickly. Ask Styles usually takes a full week off before running easy again, but it’s fine if you want to do a few easy runs within the first week post-race.

The key is easy… don’t head out to the track for a 20x400 session! As always, listen to your body. Take care of any lingering aches and pains, and don’t be afraid to incorporate more rest days into your week than normal. The goal is to recover and enjoy your accomplishment.

Disclaimer: Styles is not a professional.

For professional help, please contact a running coach, local running store, physician, and of course the interwebs.
