SOCIAL SECURITY Q&A

Q: What is “full retirement age� and what happens if I apply for Social Security benefits before then?

A: Full retirement age is the age when you are eligible to receive Social Security retirement benefits without a reduction in your benefits. If you were born before 1938, your full retirement age is 65. If you were born in 1938 or after, your full retirement age will be higher, depending on the year you were born. You can find

Q: I am nearing my full retirement age, but I plan to keep working after I apply for Social Security benefits. Will my benefits be reduced because of my income?

together, both have qualified for and run the Boston Marathon.

Another tool has been a local running club, the Seaport Striders. Members run or walk together on Saturday mornings, then gather for coffee. The camaraderie boosts runners of all ages, including many seniors.

Longtime Striders member Charlie Bursell, 73, said the group was started sometime in the late 1970s. Since then, it has organized countless races in and around the valley, including the Edge of Hell trail run at Hells Gate State Park, the seventh edition of which took place in February.

Among the finishers of the Edge of Hell last month was George Topping, 75, a man both

VanderSchalie and Haws cite as an inspiration.

Seaport Striders Presidentelect Lance Abernathy is another of Topping’s fans.

“George is an amazing story,” Abernathy said.

“He doesn’t seem to age.”

To p p i n g , George of Lewiston, Topping began running six or seven years ago at the urging of a friend. “I’m actually a cyclist,”

Haws and VanderSchalie are members of the Seaport Striders Running Club. VanderSchalie said being a member of the Striders helps him keep in contact with other valley he said, a sport he took up more than 20 years ago.

Today, he runs three days a week and works out at a gym two.

“You get addicted,” he said of running.

Another 2010 Edge of Hell finisher was Clarkston resident Mary Kopischke, 69, who has been running since 1991. She calls her training “haphazard,”

but said she usually gets out three or four days a week.

Her advice to senior runners?

“Associate with younger people,” she said. “It keeps you young.”

Nolan Noren, 66, of Juliaetta, was among the racers who completed two loops at the Edge of Hell, for a total of eight miles (runners can choose between a four-mile or eight-mile race).

Noren said he’s been running for “a long time.”

“I do a lot of running with my kids,” he said.

Races like the Edge of Hell and the 30-mile Hells Canyon Adventure Run VanderSchalie and Haws are preparing for take place on trails, an ideal setting for senior runners, they said.

“You start losing your balance as you get older,” Haws said.

“Trails force you to use that (balance).”

Trail running can help prevent injuries to the joints as well. As runners get older, VanderSchalie said, it helps to “get off pave-

ment and onto trails.”

Getting onto the trails is a suggestion they take to heart. On the morning of the Edge of Hell, they opted not to participate in

the race, but to go for much longer runs in the surrounding hills, eating up miles of trail before most people had left their homes for the day.

A few tips on running Haws and VanderSchalie have been able to adapt their goals and training to allow themselves to enjoy the sport they love as they age. They shared the following suggestions for senior runners — or seniors who would like to be runners:
