West Memphis Hosts the First Annual Arkansas Delta Flatlander Cyclists invited to preview Delta riding in advance of Harahan project completion In anticipation of biking enthusiasts who will venture across the Harahan Bridge once the bicycle-pedestrian boardwalk is complete, West Memphis is hosting the Arkansas Delta Flatlander on Saturday, Oct. 18 at 8:30 a.m. “We want to be ahead of the game when the Harahan starts bringing riders and walkers across the bridge interested in exploring the West Memphis side of the river,” said Jim Jackson, director of the West Memphis Office of Tourism. “There are lots of plans, but there are riding opportunities now. This ride will serve as an introduction to some of what’s in store.” The Flatlander, a metric century ride (100 kilometers, or 62 miles) will start at the corner of E. Broadway and Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd, the trailhead for the Arkansas side of the approach to the Harahan. It will follow the path of the Mississippi River south, circling Horseshoe Lake before heading back north to the start. Twenty- and 40-mile routes will be available as well. A portion of the route will overlap the Mississippi River Trail (MRT), 3,000 miles of on-road
bikeways and pedestrian and bicycle pathways stretching from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. A long distance ride and access to the MRT may not appeal to every rider, but Ward Wimbish, the city’s economic development director and an avid cyclist, says serious riders will jump at the chance to cross the river and cover new territory. “For several years now, I have envisioned an outdoor event like this that brings participants from across the region to West Memphis,” Wimbish said. “With work on the Harahan project set to begin soon, this ride will just be the beginning. Riders can connect to the Mississippi River Trail today. And one day they actually may be able to ride all the way to New Orleans on the levee.”
with National Geographic. For those less focused on long distances, there are also plans for an “eco park” stretching from the foot of the Harahan to the levee. Plans developed by the city in conjunction with the University of Memphis Division of City and Regional Planning include a network of trails, an education center, outdoor education spaces, exhibits, and interpretive panels and space for food trucks and festivals. The planning process is affiliated with the Mid-South Greenprint and Sustainability Plan, which is focused on enhancing regional livability and sustainability by establishing a unified vision for a region-wide network of greenspace areas.
The ability to connect communities with human-powered transportation across a river and a state line is dependent on the completion of the Harahan connector. But as far as Wimbish and other organizers of the Arkansas Delta Flatlander are concerned, it all starts this month. “When riders are finishing this ride, they’re going to be more than just tired,” Wimbish said. “They’re going to be imagining coming down off that bridge into West Memphis and having to decide what to do next.” For more information contact Jim Jackson, director of the West Memphis Office of Tourism, at (870) 732-7598, or visit ArkansasDeltaFlatlander.com.
Wimbish is referring to recent news that the St. Francis Levee Board voted to open up a 63-mile stretch of Arkansas levee for bike and pedestrian use. The new stretch will be one prong of the Big River Strategic Initiative — the new name for the Harahan Bridge Project — that includes not only the boardwalk across the Mississippi but also plans to promote the entire Mississippi corridor through a partnership

“The idea for runningluv came from my frustration during my runs of having to carry tissues, take them in and out of my pocket, and occasionally drop them,” Aiken said. Aiken, who is now training for her first full marathon, the St. Jude Memphis Marathon, says she first started running in 2011 to lose baby weight.
Her absorbent towel design was awarded a U.S. design patent in 2014. Area running stores like Full Motion Running and Cycling now offer runningluv.
“After coming in from a cool winter run, I found part of our daughter’s Halloween costume on the floor—a fishnet, fingerless glove. I immediately sewed a piece of cotton to the top of the glove and ran with it until I realized I needed more than a tissue — I needed a towel, too,” Aiken said. “That was my prototype, and I began testing different fabrics for the towel to figure out how to make the towel attach with

MAMMOGRAM CONFUSION: WHAT AGE TO START AND HOW OFTEN Much of the confusion comes from the fact that different groups provide different recommendations on mammography and other screening options. For example, the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF), American Academy of Family Physicians, and American College of Physicians all recommend waiting until age 50 until routine mammogram screening begins. However, the American Cancer
Society, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), American Medical Association, National Cancer Institute, and American College of Radiology all recommend that routine screening begin at age 40. These groups also have varying recommendations as to whether this should be done annually or every one to two years once screening begins. Guidelines are based upon statistical analysis comparing overall healthcare costs involved in screening, the differences in stage of disease and subsequent overall survival at time of diagnosis, and the risks of harm to patients from unnecessary imaging, procedures, or treatments because of false positive findings. The potential risks of later detection of disease are therefore weighed against the potential harm that can occur from earlier or more frequent screening.
While most breast cancers in the U.S. are first diagnosed as a result of an abnormal screening study, there are still a significant number that are diagnosed by physician exams or patient self-exams. Despite this point there is also great debate about the utility of self-breast exams. Although some of the aforementioned groups still recommend that patients continue to perform regular self-exams, many have begun to recommend against this practice due to the high rate of false positive findings. Most gynecologists follow the guidelines recommended by ACOG, which include clinical breast exams by a physician beginning by age 20, yearly mammography beginning at age 40, and breast self-awareness, which may include self-exams. While I agree that unnecessary testing comes about in patients due to this regimen of screening,
I also often see earlier detection because of each the various screening modalities that we utilize. Another important point to remember is that while the overall lifetime risk of breast cancer in a woman is 1 in 8, these risks may be very different for an individual patient because of family history, genetic syndromes such as the BRCA mutation, or other factors. In patients with a higher risk, changes to our routine screening processes could include more frequent imaging, utilization of breast MRI, or even consultation with a breast specialist or genetic counselor. The take-home message is that you should discuss your risks with your physician and then together make a plan for screening.

DRY EYES & ALLERGY EYES IN THE FALL
14
As the seasons change, your eyes can too. Fall has arrived, and the season is expected to be especially unpleasant for dry-eye and allergy sufferers. As many of us are enjoying the cool outdoor weather, we will be faced with these dry conditions that will contribute to allergies and dry eyes. Whether your eyes are itchy, watery, sore, or just don’t feel right, don’t assume it’s just your allergies. There can be a number of issues that may be affecting your eyes. The importance of a yearly eye health exam to maintain your overall eye health is imperative for early detection of abnormal conditions such as dry eye and allergy eyes. The earlier your eye doctor can diagnose these conditions, the easier they can be treated and the symptoms reduced. Many times it is the eye doctor that first encounters the condition because these symptoms first become noticeable in the patient’s eyes. People who suffer from allergy eyes can experience any or all of the following
symptoms: itchy eyes, red eyes, swelling of the eyelids, tearing or watery eyes, or even a feeling that something is in your eye. There are many prescription eye drops that can be prescribed by your optometrist, as well as some appropriate over-the-counter eye drops that can soothe the eyes from itching, dryness, irritation, or watering. It is best that you visit your eye doctor to prescribe or recommend appropriate eye drops. Usually over-the-counter allergy drops provide only temporary relief but may be appropriate.
of patients who take allergy medication may suffer from itchy, watery eyes. Allergy eyes need to be treated individually based on testing from your eye doctor. Other treatments to help prevent dry eye or allergy eyes include Custom Fit Sports eyewear and sunglasses that are specially designed to fit on an outdoor enthusiast’s face. No matter your preferred outdoor activity, Custom Fit Sports eyewear and sunglasses will protect your eyes not only from debris, but also from the elements that can cause dry eyes or allergy eyes. Make sure your eyes are examined yearly to test for allergies or dry eyes.
Don’t be confused! Medicines that are used and prescribed for day-to-day allergies like Claritin®, Allegra®, Zyrtec ®, or other antihistamine products are not designed specifically to relieve allergy eyes. In fact 73%

GYNECOLOGY FOR LIFE I DON’T HAVE ANY MENOPAUSAL SYMPTOMS. DO I STILL NEED TO GO TO THE GYNECOLOGIST?
I can’t tell you how many times I have been introduced to someone only to hear them say, “I’m too old for that,” or “I don’t need that anymore,” when they find out I’m an OB/GYN. I’m not sure when it was decided that once you’ve finished having children that you no longer need a well-woman exam, but my favorite response to them is, “You ARE still a woman, right?” Of course I say that to get a laugh and break the ice, but I also say it because I want to let women know that even though they may no longer need obstetrics, gynecology is for life.
all in their heads. Most doctors check a TSH and a blood count, but do not understand the relationship between estrogen and progesterone that, when out of balance, can lead to significant changes in health and mood. Only by charting your cycles and testing for hormones can your doctor find and treat the underlying causes of these changes and get you back to feeling like yourself again.
DO I NEED A WOMEN’S HEALTH SPECIALIST IF I’M FINISHED HAVING CHILDREN?
Whether you are postmenopausal or have had a hysterectomy or endometrial ablation, you are not done being a woman! As I noted before, hormonal balance is the key to feeling like yourself — no matter what your age. Even if you are no longer cycling, you need a doctor that understands the hormonal changes that are happening so that you can keep your body in balance. This helps you to reduce stress, improve sleep, and lose weight naturally.
Women’s health is much more than just pregnancy. As a matter of fact, the premenopausal and perimenopausal years are often the most difficult when it comes to changing hormones. Many women develop progesterone deficiency in their mid-thirties that manifests as PMS, prolonged spotting before and after periods, weight gain, and difficulty sleeping. Often women are told it is
WHAT IF I’M DONE HAVING PERIODS?
Some women are blessed with great health and experience very few symptoms of menopause. If you are one of them, you should not forget that breast health and cancer screening are also important parts of women’s healthcare. About one in seven women will be diagnosed with breast or gynecological cancer in their lifetime. If it’s found early, survival rates are above 90% for almost all types. An annual gynecological exam is an essential part of cancer screening because your OB/GYN knows what questions to ask to assess your risk and catch cancer early – often in a pre-cancerous stage. For many women going to the OB/GYN is not something they look forward to. Hopefully, by listening to your concerns, bringing relief to your symptoms, and giving you peace of mind, we OB/GYNs can make your annual exam too valuable to go without.

"Memphis Vein center has been wonderful to me, the pain was almost unbearable---it is gone. The procedure was wonderful. My legs look and feel so much better. Dr. Arcot and his team are amazing." "After my pregnancy I developed spider and varicose veins in my legs and ankles. This caused me to suffer with restless legs and frequent tingling/pain causing interference with my sleep. After having the laser and injection treatments with Dr. Arcot my spider and varicose veins have disappeared, and the blood circulation has returned to my legs. The best news of all is that the treatments have relieved my pain and my energy level has returned - not to mention I feel great wearing my shorts and swimsuit again! Dr. Arcot and his staff are lovely to work with. They provided me with wonderful service and genuine care. I highly recommend the Memphis Vein Center to anyone for vascular problems."

PEDALING FOR A PURPOSE By Tealy Devereaux
This year David Jones and Chris West will again stand up to the cancer that once threatened their lives. In October the two cyclists will join 23 other men by strapping on their helmets and making an audacious cycling journey from Memphis, TN, to Rosemary Beach, FL. The fiveday, 525-mile journey raises money to give Mid-South cancer patients access to a free wellness program offered by Wings Cancer Foundation which research shows will help them recover faster and prevent future cancer diagnoses.
HEALTH+FITNESS | October 2014
Knowing that beating cancer takes more than just medicine, Wings began in 1996 to help cancer patients with supportive care services during treatment and recovery. Wings offers everything from nutrition sessions to exercise and counseling classes in three locations around the Mid-South.
18
To these two men, the Wings Ride is more than a fundraiser — it’s personal. David Jones, 53, is a competitive cyclist and a survivor of malignant melanoma. The Wings Ride charity event has become an important passion for Jones, who wants to give back to the cancer community. Not surprisingly, Jones made the 2013 ride only six months after a partial knee replacement. Jones claims cancer put his whole life into perspective. “Through Christ I believe I can do anything now,” Jones said. West, who is the Executive Director of Wings, is newer to the cycling scene. Last year the 48-year old led the safety caravan for the Wings riders, but this year the throat cancer survivor decided to put his mind and body to the test and ride. “My mantra is ‘don’t let this disease define me!’ It’s certainly part of who I am as a person and my story, and it’s left me with battle scars,” West said. “I refuse to let cancer define what I can and cannot do in life.”
Both Jones and West have spent months training for the trip, which breaks down to an average of about 100 miles a day once it begins October 4th. Their route south takes them through Tupelo, MS, and Tuscaloosa, Selma and Andalusia, AL, before ultimately reaching the white, sandy beaches of Rosemary Beach, FL, on October 8th. A “Century Ride” is a tough challenge for a recreational rider; completing five such rides in a row is even more daunting. Why would these men undergo such a difficult journey? “There are tough moments and uncomfortable times, but the challenges we face are nothing compared to the struggles that cancer patients battle, said fellow rider Jim Wilder, 50. “We choose to put ourselves in this situation,
but they have no choice about it.” The success of the Wings Ride can be measured not just by the $200,000 raised in the last three years, but by the comradery riders now call a brotherhood. That close connection has inspired and attracted quite an audience. Residents of the small towns they ride through often line up to see them, and some businesses have even set up their own donation drives to boost Wings proceeds.
It may take riders a week or more to recover and shake off the soreness of such a challenging bike ride. To Jones and West, however, the week of hard work will be a celebration of the life they’re still living and a message of inspiration to those on their cancer journey. For more information on Wings and the Wings Ride visit WingsCancerFoundation.org/ WingsRide, Facebook.com/ WingsRide, or follow them on Twitter @wingscancerfdn.
After 12 years in television news, Tealy Devereaux is a non-profit media consultant currently working with Wings Cancer Foundation.

Surviving Breast Cancer By Morgan Harriman. Photo by Sarah McAlexander.
“I was so in shock,” Anita Angelacci said. “I ate well. I exercised. I had never smoked. I was not a person who would get breast cancer. It just wasn’t me.” Amid a sea of pink ribbons, awareness pins, and headscarves, Angelacci felt like she was having a nightmare. “It was just a lump, and it was so far to the left of my breast that I thought nothing of it.” Unfortunately the diagnosis came back positive for Stage 1, Grade 1 breast cancer. The good news was that it was a highly treatable form of breast cancer. The bad news was that it would take surgery and treatment to eradicate the cancer completely. Angelacci’s brother, a colon-cancer survivor, provided her with the perfect advice to keep her going: This was going to be the toughest fight of her life, and she needed to be ready for it. So Angelacci did what she knew best — she trained for the experience. She has been an athlete for as long as she can remember. Angelacci was always doing something active, whether it be yoga, Pilates, Zumba, swimming, or just running on the treadmill. She now saw this as just another opportunity to train harder.
Angelacci was diagnosed in March, but because of scheduling conflicts, she wouldn’t have the surgery until May. So naturally, she spent those few months training her body for the surgery. Like many in her situation, she felt that by exercising she would have some control over her body. And she did! By working out her upper body, she was better able to prepare for the double mastectomy. Angelacci feels like her recovery was greatly expedited because of the extra preparation she gave her body. After the surgery, her oncologist, Dr. Kurt Tauer with West Cancer Center, prescribed a full round of radiation with the option for chemotherapy. Now facing 33 rounds of radiation, Angelacci knew it was that much more important to eat healthy and exercise. Fortunately, one of her two athletic sons, Frankie Bougher, is working to get certification in personal training and nutrition, and according to Angelacci, he won’t allow any bad foods in the house. “I went through 33 rounds of radiation and I didn’t feel tired, and I exercised the entire time,” Angelacci said. “I attribute the fact that I breezed through radiation to my son for keeping me in line with healthy eating habits and exercise.”
“I went through 33 rounds of radiation and I didn’t feel tired, and I exercised the entire time.”

Today, Angelacci is feeling wonderful. She walked the entire Greenline this past weekend, and currently has no evidence of disease. According to Dr. Tauer, her main concern now is getting buff. “I told her that she needed to hold off on the weights for a little while after the surgery because of the risk of lymphedema,” Tauer said. “However, I did encourage her to keep exercising while undergoing treatment. Recovery can often be easier if one is able to maintain an exercise routine.” This has certainly been true in Angelacci s case, and now, four months post operation, she is grateful to finally be able to do small amounts of weight-bearing exercises. “This has been such a humbling experience, to be honest with you,” Angelacci said. “My husband, George, and two sons, Frankie and Josh, as well as my sister and brothers, have been the most amazing supporters. And I have such wonderful friends as well! I am so thankful that I had such a strong support system that encouraged me in my efforts to maintain my health while going through such a difficult time. I believe I am cancer-free today because of them.”

CANCER, YOU PICKED THE WRONG GIRL By Christin Parsons. Photo by Chris Hope.
In late 2008, at age 51, Cheryl Mathis was performing her routine, at-home self-exam when she felt something strange in her breast. A trip to her OBGYN confirmed that she had a lump, which was later determined to be breast cancer. Luckily, her early detection was able to catch the cancer in Stage I before it spread to other areas. Mathis was treated by breast cancer surgeon Dr. Russell Patterson, who performed a lumpectomy and was able to remove the malignant tissue. She underwent chemotherapy and radiation at West Clinic under the treatment of Dr. Lee Schwartzberg before finally going into remission. After a successful surgery and subsequent treatment, Mathis thought she was in the clear and that the breast cancer was behind her. However, in 2011 following a routine mammogram, Mathis found out that she had cancer in the opposite breast. Fortunately, it had again been detected early. Since Mathis and her team of doctors were able find it in its beginning stages in both instances the disease
didn’t spread to her lymph nodes or beyond, something for which she is very thankful. At that time Mathis was told she would lose her right breast, but she was equally concerned about the left, which had been previously affected. After learning the cancer could return, she opted to have a double mastectomy in early 2012. Although she no longer has her real breasts, she is thankful to be alive and to have beaten breast cancer not once but twice. She thanks Dr. Lou Adams for doing such a superb job on here plastic surgery and implants. Because her chemotherapy caused bone density issues, Mathis understands the importance of staying active and has adapted certain activities to meet her abilities and lifestyle. Having fully recovered, she is back to her regular routine and is physically active once again. Realizing the mental benefits of the alone time to reflect and relax, Mathis does yoga and stretching at home and hopes
to soon return to group yoga classes. She also enjoys gardening, bowling, walking, and being outside as much as possible. Throughout that difficult time in her life, Mathis’ partner, David, and her family, friends, and coworkers at St. Francis provided an incredible support system and helped keep her spirits high. Never losing sight of hope, she was convinced she would overcome the hand she was dealt and live to tell her story to inspire others. Mathis believes there is a reason that she is a two-time breast cancer survivor, and she loves sharing her experience to help others fight and deal with their cancer battles. As a cancer survivor, Mathis can’t stress enough the importance of self-exams and regular mammograms. With no family history of breast cancer, her two diagnoses came as shocks, and she highly encourages women of all ages to take proactive steps to check for signs of breast cancer.

well–be·ing noun \'wel-'bē-iŋ\
: the state of being happy, healthy, or successful By Laura Gray McCann. Photo by Sarah McAlexander.
Catherine Berger, 60, is a lifelong Memphian, a
mother of three, and grandmother of four. She leads a healthy lifestyle that includes running, swimming, biking, and yoga. Though she has never considered herself a gifted athlete, she started running in the fall of 1995 when her daughter joined the cross-country team at St. Mary’s. “I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to do things together,” Berger said. Even when her daughter raced off and left her behind, something just clicked. “With three teenagers at home, it was a tremendous stress relief, a time to sort out my thoughts.” It was not necessarily fitness-related. For her running was mental. “I remembered the importance of signing up for races and that spirit of community and fellowship in running for a cause,” Berger said. “My first race was Youth Villages in 2000, and my first St Jude Half Marathon was in 2005. I ran in Race for the Cure for years, and my family and I run in the Turkey Trot each year. It is pure joy to line up with others, all of whom are a little nervous at the starting line, and then feel that excitement and sense of accomplishment at the finish line. The post-run celebrations just add to that experience of fellowship and fun. She never runs with headphones or music; she just laces up her shoes and goes. “Even training for the [St. Jude] Marathon, when I was out there for four and a half hours, I never tired of peace and quiet and thinking the thoughts that come,” Berger said. “I enjoy being present in the moment and being out in nature. My running companion over the past 10 years has been Lucky, my lab mix rescue dog. He has been at my side for all my training, even half marathons.”
HEALTH+FITNESS | October 2014
In 2008, after four real scares and two biopsies, Berger was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. She has family history of breast cancer, and later found that her cancer was caused by bracket 2 gene mutation (BRCA2). According to the American Cancer Society, BRCA1 and BRCA2, inherited mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, are the most common cause of hereditary breast cancer. In normal cells these genes help prevent cancer by making proteins that help keep the cells from growing abnormally. If you have inherited a mutated copy of either gene from a parent, you have a high risk of developing breast cancer during your lifetime.
24
Facing her diagnosis, Berger felt very strongly about not going through chemo and radiation. The option for surgery didn’t give her pause at all. Determined to make the decision be a good one and to get back to her level of activities, Berger opted for a bilateral mastectomy. She had the surgery in September and was able to run the St. Jude Half Marathon in December. As part of her recovery, she started swimming and doing yoga, which allowed her to recover the range of motion she lost in her shoulder due to the surgery. Following her mastectomy, Berger underwent genetic testing because of her family history. Those tests indicated she did have BRCA2. Subsequently she had a full hysterectomy the following March, and met her goal to compete in the Mighty Mite Triathlon in July. St. Jude is Berger’s favorite race. She has run the Half Marathon for seven years, and in 2012 she did the full marathon with her daughter, who didn’t want to run with her 10 years before. “I love running St. Jude every year because you can train through the fall months and cool mornings through the beautiful neighborhoods around Walnut Grove,” Berger said. She swims down at the UTHSC Campus Recreation Center Downtown, and attends Josie’s Vinyasa Flow at Better Bodies Yoga.
Catherine Berger underwent a bilateral mastectomy and full hysterectomy. She credits running, swimming, and yoga for her complete recovery from the surgeries.
Berger credits running, swimming, and yoga for her full recovery from her surgeries, as well as her determination to keep being able to do the things she loves. From the fall of 1999, minus the time for her surgeries and the recovery, Berger hasn’t missed a week of running. She runs two to three days a week in addition to swimming one day a week, doing yoga one day a week, and biking on the Greenline. Her love of running for her overall wellbeing helped give her the strength and determination to keep going in the face of cancer. It was also that love that helped her recover and get well. “A lot of mornings if I get up and am creaky feeling, I go for a run and feel better,” Berger said. “I am blessed to not have any injuries, but I also take it slowly and don’t go too hard or too fast. I’m just doing it for pleasure. I swim slowly. I am not the best. In fact I may be the worst in yoga. I haven’t won any races. I just enjoy it. When you start running it’s not for competition, it’s for enjoyment,” Berger added. “You run because you want to run, and slowly you will realize you can call yourself a runner. And once you find yourself among runners, you have that support and community, and it doesn’t matter if you have a 12-minute mile. It’s just so easy to lace up your shoes and enjoy the pretty weather and your thoughts. It’s the way I resolve problems I am working on, and generate new thoughts and ideas. That’s what’s kept me doing it all these years.”

FIGHTING ON By Morgan Harriman
A runner for many years, Kate Horton knew what it meant to have endurance. She knew the mental preparation that went into attempting a long distance, the ache in her body as she started to fatigue, and the feelings of pride and relief as she pushed through to the finish line. As with most athletes, it was a feeling that she had grown to know and love. But in the spring of 2013, Horton began a different kind of journey, one that would leave her body pained and exhausted beyond anything she had yet to experience in all her years of training. She was young, newly married, athletic, and otherwise healthy, but Horton had just been diagnosed with Stage 3-C ovarian cancer.
HEALTH+FITNESS | October 2014
We first met Horton after she began her second round of chemotherapy in September of 2013. She had lost most of her hair and perhaps a little weight, but her spirit of determination and commitment to living a full life burned brighter than ever. She continued her healthy eating habits and exercise regimen as much as possible, and she never once missed a treatment. In fact her wherewithal was so inspiring that she earned a spot on the cover of our October 2013 issue.
26
Since then, Horton has had quite a year. Her goal in 2013 was to run 1000 miles. After her initial diagnosis, it would have been understandable for her to slow down, but she completed the 1000 miles along with two tough surgeries and a full round of chemotherapy. Horton even finished a half marathon two days after completing her last intensive treatment! “It made me feel good to
have control over my body when it came to running because I knew that I could not control the cancer,” Horton said. “I believe that staying active and being strong physically are two of the main reasons why I have been able to stay on schedule and never miss a treatment so far.” 2014 began with a bit of a hurdle in early spring when they discovered that her cancer had returned. This time Horton’s oncologist, Dr. Todd Tillmanns with West Cancer Center, opted for a more aggressive treatment in the hopes of eradicating the stubborn disease for good. On June 2 of this year, she underwent a third surgery to remove the newly discovered cancer paired with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy, or HIPEC, that involved administering chemotherapy directly into her abdomen during surgery to remove any remaining cancer cells. Although this surgery was considerably more difficult on her body, Horton continued to work hard to heal quickly and was back on the pavement within a couple of months. Now in the middle of chemotherapy, Horton has a new goal for 2014: to cycle the Bluff City Blues 100 – Ride to Fight On alongside her oncologist. She and Dr. Tillmanns have quite a bond, partially because, according to Horton, Dr. Tillmanns is an avid cyclist and has always encouraged her to remain active. “After time off from a surgery or sick days from chemo, I will ask Dr. Tillmanns if I can compete in an upcoming race and the majority of the time the answer is, ‘Go for it. If you can do it, you should,’ which means a lot to me,” Horton said. Unfortunately, they both also have a personal vendetta against ovarian cancer. A gynecological oncologist specializing in ovarian cancer, Dr. Tillmanns’ worst fears were realized when his own mother succumbed to the disease this past spring. Together, Horton and Dr. Tillmanns will cycle in the Bluff City Blues 100 – Ride to Fight On, beginning at the FedEx Forum on October 11th, to raise money for ovarian cancer research. Just receiving her first clean scan since her diagnosis, Horton hopes to make the Ride to Fight On her celebratory lap into remission as she finishes her last rounds of chemotherapy this October. Her body has been through a lot this past year and a half. She has felt the pain, fatigue, and sickness of Stage 3-C ovarian cancer. However, because of her unfaltering commitment to her body, Horton can now visualize a future free of cancer. Join us on October 11th as we cheer her on across her finish line.

TRAINING FOR THE TERRAIN AT SYLAMORE TRAIL The 50K (31 miles) distance is the perfect transition for the marathoner into the wonderful world of ultramarathon distance runs. In fact, there are even those of us who ran the 50K distance long before we ran our first marathon. Some folks simply have more sense than others. I’ll leave it to you all to discern who exactly has more sense. Geographically speaking, Memphis is poised to give runners access to several wonderful events in the coming months, including the popular Sylamore 50K in February. Training for a 50K trail run is quite similar to training for a marathon. Slight modifications to the handling of long runs and lessened speed work volume mark the major differences in the training schedules. Special considerations must be taken regarding the change in terrain (road vs. trail), greater specificity in hard workouts, and the amount of time spent on the trail.
ROAD VS. TRAIL
HEALTH+FITNESS | October 2014
The five-mile difference between the marathon and the 50K is only made greater by the change in terrain. The more technical or more difficult the trails, the greater that difference becomes. Expect to spend more time on the trails than what the simple math of adding another five miles to your marathon time tells you. I have heard it said as a general rule to expect a 50K to take 1.5 times your marathon time. Again, the courses play an even more significant role than they do in the world of road marathons. It is key to get off road for your long runs and become
accustomed to spending that time on your feet on the trails. Shelby Forrest, Stanky Creek, Herb Parsons, and Shelby Farms all offer plenty of miles of trails to enjoy on your long efforts.
SPECIFICITY IN HARD WORKOUTS While the 50K distance is not a speed-centric event for most of us, a good experience with the distance does require some harder workouts. Training is training. There is no denying that whatever you do works to help accomplish a goal, but there are two types of workouts that benefit the 50K runner most, and those are tempo runs and hill workouts.
TEMPO RUNS These are simply a steady effort over a specific time or distance that build both strength and speed. Tempo runs are worked into the middle of a run providing an adequate warm up and cool down. The pace should be somewhere between your 10K and half marathon race efforts. The duration of a tempo run is usually 20-45 minutes, and increase as the training schedule progresses.
HILL WORKOUTS Memphis doesn’t exactly provide us with a plethora of hill-training options, so you may have to drive a bit or be creative (the treadmill) to make these workouts happen. Hill workouts provide much needed strength and mental fortitude. Like tempo runs, hill workouts can be integrated into a run to provide the needed warm up and cool down.
Find a hill that is 70-90 seconds long and run repeats of hard effort uphill and then jog back down to the bottom for recovery and repeat. Hill workouts should consist of 6-10 repeats.
LONG RUNS The long run is without debate the single most important component of the 50K training program. Long runs prepare you both mentally and physiologically for the task at hand. Most of the time-spent training will be spent on these runs. Long runs also provide the opportunity to work through your gear choices, fueling options, and all the logistics that come with race day. Back-to-back long runs are possibly the most effective strategy to prepare your body for race day. A regular long run is followed the next day by a semi-long run on tired legs, simulating the physical and mental stresses of covering 31 miles on trails. The rhythm of these two runs will quickly become a part your weekly routine, and the physical stresses of it will become easier to manage. The key to success at any distance is to enjoy what you’re doing. Training for a 50K is absolutely no different. Hit the trails and simply enjoy some long days outside putting one foot in front of the other. After all, that’s all there is to it, right?

The pediatric orthopaedic team at Campbell Clinic knows kids from head to toe. When my son broke his ankle during a high school soccer game, we headed straight to Campbell Clinic. They have a team of doctors fully dedicated to treating simple and complex pediatric orthopaedic problems. Campbell Clinic is great with kids – from infants to teenagers – and knows how to treat a wide range of injuries and conditions. In fact, Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital chose Campbell Clinic as their orthopaedic partner.

RACHEL RANDALL 37 OCCUPATION: Lower School Music Teacher at Hutchison School. SPORT: Running. FAMILY: Husband, Brett, sons, Robert and Zachary, dogs Max and Ella. FIT CLUB: Fleet Feet fun runs and Thursday night speed workouts. MOST RECENT WW EVENTS: Running the MRTC Road Race Series with my speedy son, and the Eugene (OR) Half Marathon. Finishing on Hayward Field* was an incredible experience — a once-in-alifetime chance to run on that track for most of us.
“I started running to lose baby weight and fell in love with the sport. I ran through my entire second pregnancy, even running the day before I had him!” MOST MEMORABLE WW MOMENT: The Boston Marathon in 2009! I went with my brother (an incredible runner and my very favorite training partner), and actually finished ahead of him for the first and only time in my life! I ❤ RUNNING: There are so many reasons. The challenge of constantly trying to improve, the amazing friendships I’ve made in the running community, and getting to see so many people reach goals they never thought possible.
HEALTH+FITNESS | October 2014
OBSTACLE COURSE: I started running to lose baby weight and fell in love with the sport. I ran through my entire second pregnancy, even running the day before I had him!

IN TRAINING FOR: Chicago Marathon in October. BEST EATS/DRINKS: Black Bean tostada at Las Tortugas, and the deviled eggs and veggie plate at The Elegant Farmer are my very favorites! Wiseacre’s Tap Room is my favorite hang out. PET PEEVE: Mean people. Just be nice! IF YOU COULD HAVE DINNER WITH ANYONE FAMOUS, WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE? Scott Jurek. He has accomplished so much in the ultrarunning world, is very down to earth, and he eats like me so it’d be easy to choose a place to eat. * The late, great Steve Prefontaine ran track for the University of Oregon at Hayward Field.

TODD TILLMANNS 45 OCCUPATION: Gynecologic Oncologist, West Cancer Center and the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. FAMILY: Wife Adrianne, daughters, Emma, 15, Nora, 14, and dog Fozzie. SPORT: Cycling. I also love soccer, skiing, and running. FIT CLUB: Wolf River Racing and Hightailers. WW RIDES: Wings Ride to Rosemary Beach, Florida, Leadville 100, Peddler ride, and the Soire Ride. MOST MEMORABLE WW MOMENT: Every year riding with other men to Rosemary Beach on the Wings Ride, buckling at Leadville, and the Ride to Fight On event. I ❤ CYCLING: I think it is a perfect cohesive dichotomy. There is the physical suffering and reward aspect that benefits the body. There is also the cleansing and fortification of the soul. I believe it is a way to learn to compete, to push the limits, to understand teamwork, and to learn life’s great lesson that through suffering, dedication, and persistence comes many of life’s greatest achievements. IN TRAINING FOR: The Wings Ride to Rosemary Beach, Florida, and the Ride to Fight On!
HEALTH+FITNESS | October 2014
BEST EATS: Andrew Michael, Hog & Hominy. There are favorites like the cheddar dog, the jalapeno sweet breads, any pizza, Gnochi, peanut butter pie…okay I am going to stop because I am drooling! I also like the Sazerac. Did I say I love these guys? Talk about talent with a warm Italian hug!

IF YOU COULD HAVE DINNER WITH ANYONE FAMOUS, WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE? Okay, my first thought was my mom because I miss her. However, I think it would be Jesus, and it would be a long dinner at Andrew Michael. IF YOU COULD COME BACK AS ANYTHING IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM, WHAT WOULD YOU BE? I’m laughing as I type this, with my wife next to me — a Peregrine Falcon. PERSONAL MOTTO: Exceed expectations and never give up. Fight on!

Healthy Incentives By Lori Pope. Photo by Chris Hope.
Ben Livingston, 59, regards the health of his employees as a top priority.
The Vienna, GA, native moved to the Mid-South 20 years ago to serve as the president of Ring Container Technologies, a multinational corporation that manufactures plastic bottles for the food service and consumer packaged food industries. Ring, which is based in Oakland, TN, has developed an employee health program that has been recognized by the American Heart Association’s Fit-Friendly Companies and the Memphis Business Journal’s Mid-South’s Healthiest Employers. “We aren’t just asking our employees to be healthier,” Livingston said. “We are providing them with the means to get started toward a healthier life.”
Ring also encourages its employees to participate in local health events. On November 1 employees will participate in the American Heart Association’s Mid-South Heart Walk at Court Square Park in downtown Memphis. “Heart disease is our number-one killer, and it is important to us that our employees are aware of their risk factors for heart disease,” Livingston said. “By participating in the Heart Walk, they are not only learning more about their own heart health, but they are helping to raise money to fund local researchers and community programs that are fighting the epidemic of heart disease and stroke in our communities.” For more information on how to participate in the 2014 Mid-South Heart Walk, visit MidSouthHeartWalk.org or call (901) 383-5406.
Livingston and his leadership team first began discussing the importance of improving the health of the company’s employees more than 15 years ago when they mandated that all of their facilities become tobacco-free workplaces. Ring then looked into developing a wellness program to offer incentives to employees to get active and eat healthy. “Anyone who participates in the wellness program must go through a healthcare assessment,” Livingston said. “Then they sign up for a program based on areas of their health that need improvement, such as weight loss, blood-pressure control, or generally being more active.” To help encourage physical activity, Ring added a walking path at the company’s headquarters. Other facilities have also designated walking areas for their employees.
HEALTH+FITNESS | October 2014
“We encourage our employees to take their meetings outside and utilize the walking path when possible,” Livingston added. “We also hold a 10-minute walk every morning at 10:00 a.m. and then we host a second walk at 2:00 p.m., in which we walk the path twice.”
34
“We aren’t just asking our employees to be healthier. We are providing them with the means to get started toward a healthier life.” Ring also removed vending machines that provided unhealthy snacks and drinks from all properties and replaced them with a variety of heart-healthy snacks and water at no charge to the employees. If a property provides a drink machine, employees may only purchase diet soda or all-natural fruit juice. “We have gotten very positive comments and results from incorporating these new options,” Livingston said. “I think our employees appreciate that we are providing these healthy alternatives at no cost to them.” Livingston feels that the key to Ring’s success in employee health is to establish a wellness coordinator at all the company’s facilities. “Your results aren’t as great if you’re taking a corporate program and pushing it to down to the employees,” Livingston said. “We really try to involve employees at every level and provide an encouraging environment.”
