Editor’s Notes

Frozen Cat

By Scott Sullivan

alk among geezers leads to laments about how kids today lack the deprivations we had as children.

Our parents bewailed the same thing about us, as their parents did about them. So what if today’s knowledge levels and living standards exceed anything we (or they) dreamed of ? Who cares if this fulfills vows we made to change the world so our kids would not have to face all the bad things we did? Guilt and blame work. So does retroactive pride. My generation made out selling “Greatest Generation” stuff to inflate egos of our elders. We get rich, too, selling schlock entertainment and techdu-jour gimmicks to our children. We lament cashing in even as we do it.

No, kids don’t have to walk 10 miles to and from school daily, uphill both ways, like we didn’t either. Still, our parents thought nothing of sending us out amid threats they’d get sued for these days. Those menaces we faced — or more likely sought, being kids — built character. Like running marathons. We learned actively to conquer our fears — or at least not repeat things that got us hurt, spanked or thrown in jail — through experience, not via viewing screen.

If my daughter Flannery had to walk to school, as I did, through a subdivision sprouting in my onetime grasshopper-catching meadow, she would not have missed out on the frozen cat.

Instead of online classes, we hoofed it past under-construction houses. How could she fathom the joys of 2x4’s, stacked and splintery, screws and nails? Of mud-filled foundations? It was better than any playground. Damn right we did things we prayed our parents would not find out about. Who would Ma and Pa hold responsible? Not the builders. What impressed me most was the frozen puddle one winter whose island was a dead cat. Why was I drawn to that poor, decomposing pussy? Had he used all his lives? What about being human, for that matter? Could I survive it?

The cat vanished after construction resumed in spring. Which leads back to the notion of deprivation. “Flannery, get off the laptop,” I said.

“But I’m Skyping my friend,” she said. “Then I’ll do science and study things online.” “Study what?”

“Things that make me curious.” “That’s what I’m afraid of.”

“Dad, it’s just a computer. I’m not going to hurt myself.” “You can hurt yourself lots of ways.” “Yeah, you’ve shown me.”

So I’d been an example. Why must parental wisdom boomerang? What we really lament is that now we’re grown, we’re more formed than forming. “Did I tell you about the frozen cat?” I asked. “I don’t want to hear.”

Oh well, I told myself. It would not have been firsthand anyway.

I thought of grasshopper clouds. In pre-subdivision summers, I’d ride my bike, wobbly, to the meadow, one hand steering, the other holding a jar in which I hoped to nab flying things. Where did they all go?

Running Shorts with Scott Hubbard Trivia: What is

the oldest continuously-held road race in the United States?

Study Time. A couple studies on running crossed my eyes recently. Geesh. Hundreds of others regarding running have seen print over the Scott Hubbard years. Here’s all you need to know: Running does a body/mind good unless you overdo it, then bad things happen. My “study” is culled from 40 years of running a little, a lot, short and long, slow and fast, through months on end of down time, one year in college averaging more than 100 miles per week and two 2,000-plus-day streaks without missing a day, in all weather conditions.

You can do a minimum and derive health benefits, while increasing amounts will yield faster racing times over longer distances. You’re an experiment of one. Read what you want and chat up others, but you’ll learn best by doing.

My Christmas Message. Fifteen months ago in November 2014, Mt. St. Joesph (Ohio), an NCAA Division 3 school, played Hiram (Ohio) in hoops. The NCAA allowed the game to be played earlier than the normal season starting date for special circumstances: Lauren Hill, shown in the picture, was dealing with a brain tumor and the outlook was grim. Despite this, her spirit and determination to get on with life was infectious.

Hill’s story was Lauren Hill shared in many media outlets and those first points vs. Hiram drew deserving cheers and tears, including mine. She went on to score 10 points that season. She died in April last year and was featured in a powerful segment on CBS Sunday Morning soon afterward. Her life and passing have stayed with me. I think about her spirit and will regularly. Her memory always lifts me. Lauren Hill, this was a woman!

Christmas Miles. I got a late start on the

pretty, blue and chilly 45° afternoon. Headed out on my traditional 25-mile Dec. 25 bike ride through Holly on this Holy Day. Two miles along, I sensed something and pulled off the road. Pressed a finger into the back tire; dang! Set about repairing the flat (flats happen) and remembered it was the second I’ve had on Christmas, the first coming in 2008. With the tire pumped up, I saw movement to my left. It was a young woman in a long-sleeve shirt and shorts with an earplug in one hand, mouthing something. I couldn’t hear but knew what she was asking, so I said, “No, just fixed a flat, but thanks for asking!” Plugged back in, she pranced on her toes down the road in Fenton in her Nike Frees. I rode into Holly and eased up for folks strolling through Battle Alley in the historic downtown. Another mile north, I passed a horse-drawn carriage full of passengers headed south. Traffic is always lighter on this day and I felt calm, in no hurry. Finished with the sun sitting on the horizon. It was a good day.

Further Adventures. I got drawn out of my

own little world the next day, and again Holly was involved. In the city limits a van passed me with its passenger window down. A young fellow said something vile. A minute later at the main intersection, I turned to my right and saw a young man rolling along in a wheelchair with his friend walking behind. In those minutes, feelings of vulnerability and anger contrasted with thoughts of perspective and relative import. This, while riding a bike. On my way back through Battle Alley, I saw the town’s enormous Christmas tree (don’t know how I hadn’t the day before!), a fir about 20 feet tall in the center of the quaint downtown. That put a smile on my face. Lesson: Don’t let the idiots drag you down; there’s plenty out there to lift you up!

Sea to Shining Sea. With due respect to spin-off running events like mud runs, color runs and the like, I’d love to see a revival of a running race across the United States. The last event like this I know of is chronicled in “Running the TransAmerica Footrace” by Barry Lewis. The book’s foreword is written by ultra legend Ted Corbitt, whose contributions to the sport include running in the 1952 Olympic Marathon, helping co-found the Road Runners Club of America and New York Road Runners, and shepherding in modern methods used for course measurement. The entry fee for the 1992, 64-day race was $200, with the total time for the entire distance used to decide place. Thirteen runners finished including John Wallis, 54, of Michigan in 11th with an elapsed time of 653 hours (27-plus days), 14 minutes, 37 seconds for the 2,936 miles from Huntington Beach, Calif., to Central Park in Manhattan. That’s an average of more than 10 hours a day eastbound, on foot.

michiganrunner.tv

The winner, David Warady, starting in his hometown, took 521 hours (21-plus days), 35 minutes and 57 minutes. He won by just 5 hours, 39 minutes after all the distance they’d covered, all the hardships they’d endured, over Milan Milanovic of Switzerland. It’s a modern-day tale of hardship and untold suffering, minds and bodies stressed maximally — of their own free will. There was support but it couldn’t cover distance for them. The race was also held in 1993. Charles B. Kastner’s “Bunion Derby” details the 1928 3,400-mile transcontinental race, brainchild of Charles C. Pyle. Of 199 starters, 55 finished, not as unlikely as it may seem considering the egregious organization, slap-dash care and high number of questionable running résumés. It was won that year by Andrew Payne of Oklahoma in 573 hours, 43 minutes. Second was 15 hours behind.

I recommend “Bunion” as a reflection of the times and conditions the runners had to deal with. It will make you go, “No way. Why did they push on?” It was also held in 1929. I also recommend James Shapiro’s “Meditations from the Breakdown Lane,” which recounts his 1980 transcontinental run in an absorbing manner, reflecting the things he saw. Notably, Shapiro ran unsupported for 3,026 miles. He didn’t have anybody seeing to his needs en route. At days’ end, he’d sometimes catch a ride to a motel, then return to his stopping point the next day. Integrity. Unsupported runs across America are rare. Former British star Bruce Tulloh shared the story of his supported (son, wife) 1969 odyssey across the U.S. in “Four Million Footsteps.” At points physical problems seemed to sour his chances, but he persevered, clipping nine days from South African Don Shepherd’s former-record crosscountry run of 73 days in 1964. Shepherd told his story in “My Run Across America.”

Then there’s 73-year-old Paul Reese, who took 124 days to cross the U.S. in “Ten Million Steps,” which he wrote with his friend Joe Henderson. Soon after, Reese decided to tackle running across all 50 states, a 7,600-plus mile trek, between ages 75 and 79, which he and Henderson chronicled in “The Old Man and the Road.” Paul’s wife, Elaine, accompanied him in a motor home. Retired? What are you doing this summer? It’s time for some enterprising group or person work out all the details and get this next Running Race Across America (there’s a cycling race too, called RAM) onto the race schedule!

Answer: The oldest race is the Delaware YMCA

Turkey Trot 8K in Buffalo, N.Y., dating to 1896. - MR -

Roberta Gibb, First Lady of the Boston Marathon

oberta Gibb was born in a hospital elevator, eager to begin her athletic, artistic, and intellectual voyage. “You just couldn’t wait to get out,” her mother often told the young Roberta. “You couldn’t wait to explore everything around you.”

By Amby Burfoot

Several of the runners clustered around her and asked questions, mainly, “Are you planning to go the whole way.” When she answered, Yes, they were universally supportive. Several said: “I wish my wife would run with me.”

Gibb’s biggest adventure began on Friday, April 15, 1966. That afternoon she bought her first pair of running shoes—boys, size 6, Adidas—in downtown San Diego and crossed the street to board a Boston-bound bus. While she had never entered any track meet or road race of any kind, she planned to run the Boston Marathon on April 19—a Tuesday.

She struggled onward nonetheless, figuring there would be no one left at the finish. Instead, when she got there in 3:21:25, she was greeted by huge crowds and a gaggle of newspaper photographers. Someone led her to a small interview room where the press peppered her with questions. What was she trying to prove? Did she have an axe to grind with men? “They had it all wrong,” Gibb says. “I love men. I simply wanted to disprove false beliefs about women’s limitations. I said I thought women could be feminine and strong and athletic at the same time.”

She arrived in Boston at 6 pm Monday evening, 18 hours before the marathon’s start. Ravenous after the long, near-starvation bus trip, she wolfed down a huge meal at her parents’ home in Winchester, just outside Boston. She had extra helpings of roast beef, figuring that the protein would her provide premium fuel for the marathon. Roberta, widely known as “Bobbi,” was 23. Two months earlier she had written to the Boston Marathon postal address for a race application. In short order, she received a curt denial letter. It said, in effect: You can’t run the Boston Marathon because we are an official AAU event, and women aren’t allowed to run longer than 1.5 miles in an AAU race. Besides, women aren’t physiologically capable of running 26.2 miles. Since Boston’s first running in 1897, no woman had ever attempted the historic Marathon. “I was infuriated by the BAA letter,” Gibb recalls “Why did people think women were incapable of so many things? What did they want me to do— start cooking or take up knitting? It was a Catch-22 situation. If women weren’t allowed to attempt the marathon, how could we prove that we could do it?”

On Marathon morning, fearful that she might be arrested if seen, Gibb hid behind a thick forsythia bush about 50 yards in front of the current Hopkinton start line (and about 150 yards in front of the 1966 start). She was wearing a one-piece black tank-top bathing suit, covered by a pair of her brother’s brown Bermuda shorts and a thick hooded sweatshirt.

When roughly half of the 415 men had passed her, Gibb crept out from her hiding place and began running down the side of the road. Around her she heard happy voices. Everyone was excited to be under way. Then, after about half a mile, eerie silence. Next: “Hey, is that a girl over there?” “No it can’t be. Girls can’t run the marathon.”

But everyone was looking in her direction now. Gibb worried that she was in trouble. “I didn’t know what the guys would do,” she recalls. “I thought they might try to shove me off the road.” So she turned and smiled her prettiest smile. 42

feet feel on fire. She developed blisters and tried to change her stride. That only made things worse. “I was going so slow, I felt like a complete failure,” she recalls. “This was my worst run ever, and it happened in the Boston Marathon. I was so disappointed.”

After the interview, Gibb followed some of the male finishers to the traditional post-marathon beef stew in a Prudential Center cafeteria. She was barred from entering. “Women aren’t allowed,” the security guards told her.

A mile later, Gibb began to overheat in the thick sweatshirt. She wanted to toss it off. But again, she wondered what would happen when spectators and marathon police could readily make out her blonde hair and female figure. She told her new friends about her fears. “Don’t worry,” they replied immediately. “It’s a public road. We’ll take care of you. We won’t let anyone bother you.” Soon journalists on the Marathon press truck spotted Gibb. They sent reports to radio stations who immediately broadcast the bizarre news: A woman was running the Marathon. The radio updates brought cascades of spectators to the courseside, especially at Wellesley College. “I began to hear the noise in Wellesley a half-mile away,” Gibb says. “By the time I got there, it was just overwhelming. I’ve always been sensitive to loud noises. I didn’t like it.”

She ran many of the middle miles with Alton Chamberlin, a Boston veteran. Gibb knew nothing about pace, but he told her they were hitting sevenminute miles. She felt completely comfortable, running well within herself. The Newton hills and Heartbreak were no problem. Then, at 23 miles, the inevitable crash. Gibb had done all her training on soft surfaces—beach and trails—in cushioned nurses shoes. Now the hard roads and thin-soled running shoes made her |

When she arrived home a short time later, she was stunned to find more photographers at her parents’ home. Now they wanted her to tidy up a bit, and display her female skills in the kitchen. “It was stupid,” she says. “I’ve never done much cooking. The only thing I know how to make is fudge.” Nevertheless, ever a people-pleaser, she changed into a polka-dot dress and headed for the kitchen. The domestic photos received as much play in the next day’s papers as her marathon-running photos. One Wednesday morning headline declared: “Hub Bride First Girl To Run Marathon.” Another: “Marathon’s Course Just A Bridal Path.” Both referred to her marriage three months earlier to old college friend and Navy officer Will Bingay. One story began: “A blonde 23-year old beauty …”

The Boston Marathon immediately released a press statement: “Mrs. Bingay did not run in yesterday’s marathon. There is no such thing as a marathon for a woman.” However, Alton Chamberlin affirmed that she had covered the full distance, adding: “She didn’t look half as bad as some of the men.”

Gibb returned to “win” the next two Boston Marathons, including the 1967 race made famous by Jock Semple’s attack on Kathrine Switzer. Women were not recognized as legit Boston runners until 1972. That year, Nina Kuscsik became the first official women’s winner. In 1996, on the occasion of the 100th Boston Marathon, the BAA finally awarded a winner’s medal to Gibb, as well as to Sara Mae Berman, winner from 1969 through 1971.

With little left to prove on the roads after 1968, Gibb turned her attention to academics and art. She

has had a lifelong and continuing interest in neuroscience, especially Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS), which claimed a close friend a decade ago. She also sculpts and paints. In 1984, her sculpture was awarded to the first three finishers in the first U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials for women, famously won by Joan Benoit. Some of her paintings—colorful swirling abstracts—will be made public for the first time this spring. Gibb, now 73, has continued running through the years, though she never enters races. “I feel so good when I run,” she says. “It makes me so happy. If only everyone else could feel as good in their life as I feel when I’m running, it would probably solve most of the world’s problems.”

A year ago, she thought about attempting to run the 2016 Boston. Now that seems unlikely. She may opt to enter the BAA 5K. “I don’t want to do anything stupid,” she notes. “I’ve got nothing to prove. I did my part fifty years ago. I was the seed. These days I’m so happy that there are millions of women running, continuing to show what we can achieve.”

Super 5K, Novi

Coaching Should Develop Runners as Persons First

Super 5K Brings New Start Time, Mild Weather By Tracey Cohen

ith the array of blessings and curses I have had as a runner (an eating disorder, NAIA All-American finishes, school records, a broken kneecap and ending with the slowest 5K of my college career), I have had my fill of experiences and lessons. These have helped to develop young cross country athletes into healthy, happy runners with my partner in crime, Grandville High School girls head coach Jenni Callendar.

Rachael Steil

Applying those experiences has not been as easy as I’d expected — especially when it came to discussing and preventing eating disorders. How could I talk without triggering the behavior in someone else? How would I approach a runner if she showed signs of a disorder? Even though I myself dealt with this mental illness, I found it difficult to address it.

I wanted to avoid giving too much praise in relation to numbers, since disorders are often fueled by accolades for winning, PRs and/or the initial loss of weight. From this, the high expectations — a pressure and demand for perfection – grow. Often the fastest athletes already have high self-expectations. Then there’s the pressure the coach and peers may put on her. Thus, drastic measures like limiting food intake or finding some other unhealthy way to run faster may be used out of desperation or fear of not performing “perfectly” every time.

I recently interviewed U.S. running great Suzy Favor Hamilton for my runninginsilence.com blog. She said telling an athlete to stop running and “just eat” was one of the worst ways to go about it; there may be bigger emotional issues that should be addressed through counseling. “It’s important to express how counseling for everyone is a step towards wanting to be a better person,” the three-time U.S. Olympian said.

As coaches, we must stress the importance of emotional wellbeing — what running can do for us beyond the physicality and numbers. We want to avoid comparisons, which encourage athletes to base their worth on times and places. We should really emphasize the importance of hard work, show them they can push further than they have before and encourage them to find lessons from good and bad races. I have seen that the strongest runners — mentally and physically — come to the line excited. They love to run, but have other avenues in their lives about which they are passionate. They race with a relaxed attitude to reach their goals without an overwhelming fear of disappointment and letting others down. And they encourage others, no matter their own performance outcomes.

The greatest part in forming how I coach today came from the people I was blessed to coached by. They emphasized the goal is not just to make athletes the best they can be as runners, but also as people.

Andersen Cabble of Beverly Hills (bib 5164) runs in a Denver Broncos Peyton Manning jersey for the Super 5K. NOVI (2/7/16) -- After years of frigid temperatures and pre-race snowstorms, more than 1,700 runners enjoyed mild conditions at this year’s Super 5K.

The top three men finished with 23 seconds of each other. Chris Elsey won in 16:01, followed by Dominick Reed (16:23) and Joost Plaetinck (16:24). Men’s masters champ Roman Krzyzanowski (17:13) was inspired by the competition “which keeps getting younger and younger,” he said. Of course he’s not getting older. Robert Lee1(7:54) and Claudio Salas 1(8:23) rounded out the top three over-40 runners. Thirteen-year-old Sydney Anderson, making her debut here, led the women in 19:10. Next came indsay Doherty (19:27) and Kelly Valente (19:48). Mary Dorazio (22:39) edged Amy Mikhail (22:48) and Paulette Hoose (23:04) for the women’s masters title. Despite the ideal weather and enthusiastic crowd, RF Events “Head Goat” Randy Step said, “I just think it’s great we pulled it off.”

No matter how charitable, family friendly and fitness minded a race may be, whenever you run close to 2,000 runners through a subdivision, you’re bound to upset some schedules. “We moved the start time back 30 minutes and had 30 volunteers in the neighborhood to help residents who might have questions or concerns,” Step said.

“It’s impossible, but we do our best to make everyone happy. We hope neighbors will think that we did a great job and let us come back next year on the same course.”

Big Bird Run, Roseville

Big Bird Flies in Fair Weather, Tweaked Course By Ron Marinucci veteran Jerry Mittman, who for the first time easily found a parking spot in the recreation center paved lot. “It’s a great race.”

The many-times age group winner loves the way Big Bird does awards: the 2-3 finishers get plaques, while the winner gets swag that this year included a short-sleeve t-shirt, portable iPhone charger and insulated cooler bag.

ROSEVILLE (11//15/15) — Although frost had to be scraped from windshields, this Sunday proved fine nice for the 37th annual Big Bird runs. Race-time temperatures rose to the upper 40°s and low 50s, with plenty of sunshine and just slight breezes.

This year’s edition included a couple changes, one welcome and one less so. Darrell McKee, who had run all 36 previous Big Bird 10Ks, passed word through friend Mike Markie he wouldn’t compete this year. McKee, after cataract surgery, had tried to come back too soon. Complications arose from bleeding in the eye and his doctor put a kibosh on the Big Bird. McKee was the last who had finished every Big Bird.

London Bommarito, in pink tutu, wanted to celebrate her fourth birthday by running a race. Family and friends wearing “Team London” shirts joined her in the Big Bird 1 Mile Race.

The mostly-flat courses saw a change this year. “The route now runs along paths in a couple parks,” race director Tony Lipinski said. “This will get runners off busy roads.”

“I loved the park,” Lewandowski said.

“Where are the people?” wondered Big Bird

Roseville High School alum Chad Franchy ran his seventh Big Bird dressed as a banana. “I wasn’t in shape to get a competitive time,” he said. “So I just came goofy. The kids on the course loved it. It was fun.” Lipinski cited long-time Big Bird sponsors Petitpren Distributors, Hansons Running Shops, Randazzo Fruit Market, Sam’s Club, and State Farm Insurance. Proceeds go to local community service groups. For complete results, go to http://runmichigan.com. - MR -

“My wife walks here (in the park) a lot. It’s a nice change,” Markie said. Numbers were down for the three races this year. But those who did show were treated to a typical Big Bird — a well-organized, fast race (a pedestrian overpass across I-696 is the only “hill”). The post-race raffle included two dozen “big birds” (turkeys). Age-group winners received nice prizes/awards and all runners found running gloves in their race packets, courtesy of Hansons Running Shops. Wayne State University harrier Zechariah Jean won the 10K in 34:18, seven seconds ahead of Scott Smith. Jean wore a big smile as he carried his big bird home. Alex Tonn, who took third in 35:08, said, “I didn’t expect to do this well. After all, he’d competed at the state cross country meet the previous day. “It was a lot of fun,” he said of his first Big Bird 10K. “I’m looking forward to next year.”

His twin, Evan, also ran here after competing in the state meet, winning the Big Bird 4K in 13:19. “I got pretty tired. I was sore,” said Evan, who still won by almost 2 1/2 minutes.

Masters 10K winner Steve Menovick (36:14) was fourth overall, while Heather Lewandowski paced the women in 38:40.

Lewandowski ran with her friend Emily Coury, who won her age group too. “It’s a nice little race,” Coury said. “We traditionally do it together.” michiganrunner.net

Michigan Big in Independent Running Retailers Board

By Ron Marinucci

ick Stanko, Michigan Runner’s 2015 Male Runner of the Year, has a lot of experience and success racing on state roads. He’s helped pass on his knowledge working in specialty running stores, including The Ann Arbor Running Co., which he and Ian Forsyth opened in August 2014. “We are passionate about what we are doing,” says Stanko, newly elected to the Independent Running Retailers Association board. The IRRA, headquartered in Great Neck, N.Y., assists smaller, independent running stores. Member stores are limited to 10 or fewer brick-and-mortar sites in which at least 70 percent of business is conducted. Their primary focus must be on running products and/or services. “Even though state stores like Gazelle Sports and Hansons Running Shops have multiple doors, they still are locally-owned businesses,” Stanko said. Michigan retailers that are part of the nearly 200member association include the three aforementioned stores plus Playmakers and The Running Lab. Saucony and Merrell, part of Rockford-based Wolverine World Wide, are associate members.

The state is also well represented on the 12-member IRRA board. Playmakers co-owner John Benedict was elected its 2016 president. The past president is Gazelle Sports founder and partner Chris Crowell. The IRRA’s aim, says Stanko, is to help independent running stores grow and prosper, plus achieve excellence serving their customers and communities. “We are a collective voice,” said Crowell. “We believe strongly that the locally-owned shop is the

Michigan Runner - March / April 2016

heart and soul of the larger running community.”

The IRRA provides a support network, sharing resources, education, communications and research with members. Stanko and Crowell are quick to point to the help and advice they have received. “I co-founded Gazelle in 1985,” said Crowell, “and would not have been able to without the help of Curt Munson, owner of Playmakers.”

“Both David Howell (of Total Runner) and Steve Angerman (of Running Fit) have been great mentors to us,” said Stanko of himself and Forsyth. “We are excited to use the knowledge they passed on to us.” IRRA members share ideas from across the nation. “I handle most of the Ann Arbor Running Co. marketing,” said Stanko, “and look forward to sharing ideas with members, so we can all improve our stores and connections to our local running communities.”

The IRRA is eyeing challenges faced by new stores. Board members note Michigan has been fortunate to have quality running stores dating back to the late 1970s and early ‘80s, many still going strong. Still, as previous generations of owners get out of the business, new, emerging stores are needed to fill the gap. The new and old have similar, yet different concerns as well.

“Speaking from the perspective of a new shop, the biggest challenge we face is getting our name out there,” Stanko said. “People are flooded with advertisements, whether they’re from other running stores or the local grocery.” How, then, to attract attention and |

michiganrunner.tv

sell the uniqueness and benefits of the small stores?

“We are finding success with getting out into the community and making meaningful connections with people,” said Stanko. “This is something money can’t buy. It takes a lot of time and energy.” But, he said, “because people are passionate about running, it’s not so much work.” He hopes to bring that perspective to the board.

“Local businesses matter in terms of both the economy and community support,” Crowell added. “The running stores in Michigan and across the country keep more of our money invested locally. We give back to our communities in many ways that the nationals (often) do not. We provide services like fun runs, events, training and free clinics, as well as fund charities.” In 2015 Gazelle gave $104,000 to local charities. Crowell noted. This, too, is a message the IRRA will get out to members. The expansion of national sporting goods stores poses another challenge to specialty running shops. Add to that the growth of online sales, especially from big-name e-tailers. They are, Stanko noted, “discounting right and left. It’s not healthy for retailers, manufacturers or the sport of running.” Online running purchases do little to help local running communities, he said. With their years of collective experience in retail running and running communities, Crowell and Stanko hope to add a positive influence to the IRRA, both nationally and within the state. - MR -

I Don’t Want to Run Today By Dave Foley

Dave Foley

oing out for the daily run can be like eating vegetables. You know they’re good for you, but sometimes you just don’t have the appetite for them. The “runner’s high” so often extolled is real, but sometimes elusive. Some days I love to be out there running, but others I don’t feel like heading out the door. However, for me, it’s a habit. Like brushing teeth or that morning cup of coffee, if I try to skip it a day, it nags at me.

I’m fine with taking time off to heal an injury or get a virus out of my system -- I can do that without feeling pangs of guilt. And I might rest a couple days before a race, but that’s about it. Trying to legitimize taking a running hiatus because of weather is a non-starter. If Michigan runners stayed inside every time it snowed hard, the wind chill was below zero, temperature rose above 80° or there was monsoon-like rainstorm, they would have a lot of goose eggs in their running log. No, you can’t just blithely declare Mother Nature’s peculiarities a limiting factor. When roads are so icy traffic is stymied or during cold rains you might postpone a run, but, in those situations, usually if you wait a few hours, it becomes safe to go out.

ning shoes stay in the closet. If I know not running will only cause more stress, I’ll head out and get it over with.

Sometimes that’s all it takes. I start and things fall into place. As I loosen up, my legs feel lighter, my pace quickens and I wonder what all my fussing was about.

One thing I know for certain; missing a day won’t affect my fitness and I probably won’t gain a pound. Even if I don’t run today, I am still a runner. - MR -

But not always. On other occasions my legs ache, although I think the pain is as much in my head as it is in my muscles. Nevertheless, my dreading of the run poisons this day’s outing. I feel like I’m plodding and might be right. Dead legs don’t go fast. These are days I need a diversion. Finding the right music or a good podcast on my iPod helps. Even finding good audio may not work. The time passes so slowly. My legs continue to feel wooden and it seems to take forever to cover a mile. No runner’s high today; this fourmiler is no fun. The high point of the run is reached when I arrive back home. If every run, or even half of my runs, were this bad, I’d find another way to exercise. I might have a series of bad runs -- dreading each one, then discovering they live down to my expectations. Yet even after these not-sohot efforts, the mental anguish about running ends and the rest of my day will less stressful knowing I can put a “4” instead of “0” in my running log. Invariably I get past the bad patch and my daily sojourns become fun again. After running this many years, I know this is how it is.

As the hours pass it feels like there’s a hole in the day. Procrastinating only makes it worse. After faithfully logging miles since 1975, just telling myself it’s OK to sit out a day doesn't usually work.

I consider skipping a run, then the run, which is supposed to be a stress release, becomes one more mental burden. For me the only solution is to run.

Using “not having enough time” as an alibi doesn’t fly either. If you take a close look at your day, inevitably there's a spare hour -- get out of bed a bit earlier, skip some TV, use a chunk of a lunch hour. If there’s really no time to run, you probably won’t feel guilty about missing the miles. However, skipping a run just because I don’t feel like it ... that’s hard. I’ve preached for years that “the first five steps out the door are the hardest” but sometimes I am loath to take my own advice. If michiganrunner.net

Frozen Foot Race, Traverse City From the Back of the Pack:

Winners Abound at Frozen Foot Race By Mickey Fivenson

TRAVERSE CITY 1/30/16) — Race director Allison Goss welcomed 350 runners and volunteers to a Frozen Foot Race 5mile run that offered unseasonably mild temperatures. The Traverse City Track Club, Running Fit, Alfie Embroidery, Bay Bread, Oleson’s Markets, Traverse Area Running Club, Bulls-I Marketing, Naturally Nutty, 14th Street Chiropractic and Gallagher’s Farm Market were race sponsors. My first winner, i.e. hero who has overcome life’s challenges, was Bob Jones, 62, from Mio, a 22-year military veteran. Jones survived the Gulf War’s Operation Iron Claw, from which eight of his buddies did not return and later suffered a ruptured disk, yet still ran here in their memory. Jen Teeples, 42, of Traverse City learned two years ago she had breast cancer. After seven surgeries, chemo and radiation, she is now is cancer free. Years of running prior to then helped her make it. Jeff Morris, 50, of Saline, lost weight, stopped smoking and has completed 12 marathons. Jim Frixon, 53, of Traverse City survived a heart attack with help from his fitness from prior running.

Dean Crary, 64, of Interlochen and Ann Arbor, says running keeps him focused and relaxed. Frank Butz, 70, of Traverse City recovered from prostate cancer three years ago and says running makes his life better.

Sarah Waraniak, 24, of Fenton joined about 30 runners from the Grand Valley College Running Club taking their share of prize medals. Amber Carr-Kennedy, 27, from Kalkaska was among four Training Academy for Badass Warrior Goddesses, a national running society, which took part. She had to be asked to join. My big losers both lost more than 100 pounds. Mary Lynn Robertson, 48, of Traverse City did so over three years, after grieving for her dead mother. Jonathan Basler, 39, of Traverse City ran his first race ever on this winter day.

Mickey Fivenson, 73, of Traverse City is a stroke survivor who credits running for his survival. As former director of the National Cherry Festival Races, he founded the event’s Golden Mile and wheelchair races. He has completed 60 marathons and has run more than 100,000 miles in 45 years of training. - MR -

Ultra-Runner Takes Joy in Going Distance — Plus

“I

By Ron Marinucci

’m not a fast runner, but a very happy one!” says ultra-runner Megan Stewart.

In high school, Stewart was a member of a state championship team. But it wasn’t cross country or track. It was equestrian. She didn’t begin to run until she was an undergraduate student at Oakland University.

“I ran just a few miles here and there to be healthy,” she remembers. “It progressed into something I never expected. The more I ran, the happier I was. So it seemed a natural progression to just keep going.” Stewart, a third-year Ph.D. candidate in medicinal training at the University of Michigan, understands natural progressions. Despite the joy running brings her, she struggles and juggles to make time for training. “I spend 60 to 80 hours a week doing chemistry things,” she says. “A typical training week is 50 to 100 miles, usually 70 or more.” Early in October she completed her first 100-mile race, the Cloudsplitter 100 in Kentucky, adding to a résumé which includes a number of 50K, 50-mile and 100K races, plus a 68-mile point-topoint run in Georgia.

“Running turned into my escape from the everyday,” she continues. “It helps me face the day stronger. It’s gotten me through tough times. And I love a good challenge, to discover what my mind and body are capable of,” she says. In May 2015 Stewart finished the Cruel Jewel 50, a 56-mile race in Georgia that includes nearly 18,000 feet of climb. The race director told runners if they could run the CJ 50 faster than the 68-mile Georgia Death Race, he would waive the entry fee. Stewart did so by almost 90 minutes. Rather than take the refund, she used it to enter the 2016 CJ 50, which she characterized michiganrunner.tv

She called the 2014 Georgia Death Race “the most outstanding race I’ve done. The course is simply fantastic.” The event features close to 40,000 feet of elevation change. “It was a beautifully organized and managed,” she says. “The volunteer and aid stations were exceptional.

“I was intimidated by climbing. But it’s a dream of mine to relocate and play in the mountains once I’m done with grad school. So I just couldn’t help myself when I saw the race.” After the CJ 50, she put the Mohican 100 in Ohio on her schedule. But the running gods interfered. While caring for the horses she and her mother, Sally, own and raise, “one of them smashed my foot,” says Stewart. “I was on crutches for a month.” At the same time she also began physical therapy to repair a patella tracking issue on the same leg.

Ultra-running requires more than physical effort and preparation. There is a mental aspect too. – Megan Stewart

All of which is a bit ironic. “Up until a couple years ago, I was naïve to the fact people ran farther than a marathon,” Stewart says. “Once I got wind of that, I cannon-balled right in and never thought twice.

as “a beautiful course with great volunteers.”

By midsummer she was running again. “I kept my mileage low, around 50 a week,” she says. “In September I used the Woodstock Hallucination 100K as a training run to see if my body was happy again.” Stewart finished third among the women and 15th overall in 14:21. Better, “I finished comfortably and all smiles without any knee or foot pain,” she says. Next was the Grindstone 100 in Virginia in October. “But the race was cancelled the weekend we flew out,” Stewart says. “So Mom and I rented a car once we got to Virginia and drove across the state to Kentucky for the Cloudsplitter 100 instead. “It was amazing with beautiful views and challenging course,” she continues. “I ran with a fellow Michigan native, Joe La Framboise, who I met at Woodstock. We ran the entire 100 miles and 34 hours together. It was fantastic!” Taking a relative break, Stewart opted to run the Hungerford Half Marathon rather than the full. Racing through the Manistee National Forest in 1:50, she was the first woman and fifth

finisher overall.

Stewart’s training includes long weekend runs, often with a group, and “some hills. I really enjoy running up and down hills and do that as much as possible.” Four days a week involve strength training. And she does “speed play, often with Helios.”

Helios? “I used to run alone,” Stewart goes on. “But after a couple unsettling encounters in the woods, I adopted a Siberian husky, Helios. “He’s my companion and running buddy. His mileage is increasing, currently about 20 to 30 miles a week with me. We have the most wonderful time together. He is the best partner for speed work and has the most kissable, sweet face.”

She remembers being especially nervous prior to the Georgia Death Race. “When Meg opened her backpack, the bear whistle really thrilled me — not!” Sally says.

all my hours moving through the trails. I haven’t wanted to quit a race yet and have finished all of them with a smile.

To give back, Megan Stewart has volunteered at races such as the Mohican after her horse injury. She has worked aid stations before running her own races.

“There’s a careful balance I try to strike between life in grad school, my family and running,” she continues. “But some day I’d like to really push myself at an event just to see what I’m capable of. That experience looks beautiful and scary at the same time.”

“I’m still very new to this sport and have a lot 2/11/16 to learn,” she says. “Right now I wish I could spend9:14 PM Page 1

- MR -

Last January she hooked up with a group for long weekend runs. Members include Tony Hanks, Ellen Rowe and Fritz Kramp. “They are wonderful,” Stewart says. “Some of the kindest, most down-to-earth and sincere people I have had the pleasure to meet. They have years of experience running ultras that they share with me. Each one brings something special and unique.” Ultra-running requires more than physical effort and preparation. There is a mental aspect too. “While physical capability is essential,” she says, “the mental component introduces a new element to the experience. I am fascinated by that.” Helping is Sally Stewart, “my mom and best friend, who comes to most of my races,” she continues. “Mom meets me at checkpoints when she can and gives me a hug for encouragement. She is wonderfully positive and an amazing woman. I look forward to those hugs and her sweet smile!”

“It amazes me she can run so far,” Sally Stewart says of her daughter. “I don’t know what drives her but I get the biggest thrill. I enjoy it as much as she does.” It’s Sally who can be heard as runners close in on the finish. “I bring a cowbell,” she says. “I am like a cheerleader.”

Club Names Michigan Communities ‘Runner-Friendly’

By Scott Sullivan

The RRCA began bestowing the designation in 2011 to shine a spotlight on such communities and provide incentive for others to work towards being runner-friendly. Member clubs submit nominations. The RRCA has recognized six Michigan communities so far and 48 nationwide.

Allen Park was cited as Michigan’s first runnerfriendly community in 2011. The RRCA recognized Kalamazoo County in 2013 and Detroit and Flint in 2014. The list:

Allen Park The Downriver Runners, started in 1985 to promote health and fitness in the down-river area of southeast Michigan, nominated Allen Park for the honor in its first year. The group puts on the annual Riverview Winterfest in February, Taylor Mid-Town 5K in July and Allen Park 10K and 5K in August, raising funds for high school runner scholarships. The Allen Park government, fire, police, recreation and public works departments support the races along with local businesses. The high school has had cross-country and track teams since 1967. Allen Park hosts the AP Harrier Classic in which more than 300 youths participate in either the 2-mile or 5K races.

The city helps with garbage removal, barrels, barricades and installing the club banner over roads. The parks and recreation department installs a stage and sound system for awards ceremonies. Local businesses donate food and ice for runners. The Elks Club provides use of its large tent to keep the sun off the food area. Community leaders who provided support and letters of recommendation included Downriver Runners president Dan Martinez, high school girls track and cross country coach Tony Mifsud and cross country head coach Lynn Ketelhut.

Kalamazoo County The Kalamazoo Area Runners nominated the county for involving businesses, municipalities, schools and nonprofit organizations striving together to grow running and encourage citizens to embrace healthy lifestyles. KAR is the largest RRCA member in the state with more than 1,200 members. With community help, the club puts on races including the Kalamazoo Klassic, Run Through the Lights and Portage Winter Blast Half Marathon. Members work with local schools and colleges on training programs and events including the

Michigan Runner - March / April 2016

Turkey Trot Time Prediction Run at Portage West Middle School and Fast Track 5K/10K training program at Western Michigan University. The cities of Kalamazoo and Portage, KAR and other race organizers work to together in coordinating venues, routes, police, road closures and operations. Kalamazoo is home to the Kalamazoo Marathon and Borgess Run for the Health of It, a major event that collaborates with businesses, organizations and local governments. The races, which included 75 business sponsors, attracted close 8,500 participants in 2013. More than 900 people took part the event’s Borgess Run Camp Training Program.

Community leaders who provided support included KAR president Bonnie Sexton and executive director Joy Mills, Portage Mayor Peter Strazdas, Kalamazoo Marathon/Borgess Run for the Health of It race directors Blaine Lam, Janeen Docsa and Chris Lampen-Crowell; county officials David Maturen, Peter Battani and Linda Vail; and Ron Kitchen of Southwest Michigan First.

sponsor Crim events and provide in-kind services such as public service announcements, event coverage, promotion and graphic design.

“We are all in,” said Flint Mayor Dayne Walling. “Increasing awareness of our running culture and infrastructure means better health outcomes, more community programming, events and greater use of our infrastructure for running, walking and biking. Through meaningful collaboration, Flint and its community partners can ensure all residents have a welcoming place to run, walk and play.” Community leaders providing support included Walling, Bauman’s Running and Walking Shop owner Mark Bauman, Complete Runner owner Curtis Thompson and Gault Race Management owners John and Anne Gault.

Detroit

Flint Flint, the seventh largest city in Michigan with a 102,434 population, has been greatly affected by the automobile industry’s struggles. While recovery from hardship continues in fits and starts, Flint remains runner-friendly.

The city has installed designated bike lanes and multi-use paths along many of its downtown throughways and along the Flint River corridor, providing runners and walkers safe infrastructure to maintain healthy lifestyles. Its recent Master Plan for a Sustainable Flint includes additional trail networks and sidewalk developments. Adherence to the plan can be seen in increased lighting and emergency call boxes along pedestrian paths, traffic signals geared towards pedestrians, more pedestrian signage and improved crosswalks. The Riverbend Striders have provided a yearround schedule of events for 45-plus years. The club and Crim Fitness Foundation submitted the application. The community hosts 23 running and walking events each year. The Crim Fitness Foundation hosts 10 of these, including the HealthPlus Crim Festival of Races, which draws close to 16,000 participants, 3,000 volunteers and 50,000 spectators for its Teddy Bear Trot, Michigan Mile, 5K, 8K and 10-mile races every year. To make this happen, the Crim partners with city officials, churches, universities, parks and businesses. The foundation’s adult training program boasts more than 1,000 participants annually, a grassroots race series and the CrimFit youth program. Many broadcasting stations and media outlets |

nn Arbor and Milford are the latest Michigan cities named Running-Friendly Communities by the Road Runners Clubs of America.

Kelly Moore of Taylor and Erik Sedik of Utika run the Auto Show 5K in Detroit. Michigan’s largest city has more than 700,000 residents and close to 5.2 million people in its metro area. The presence of automotive giants Ford, General Motors and Chrysler made it a major manufacturing hub for much of the 20th Century, but as those firms struggled, Detroit did too. As the Motor City works to emerge from difficult economic circumstances, many of the strategies, partnerships and innovative ideas it is employing can be seen in what makes it a runner-friendly community. One of the best places to run in Detroit is the Riverfront Pathway on the Detroit River It includes more than four lighted miles with plans to extend to 5.5 miles by next year. Starting in 2003, a large portion of the Dequindre Cut, an old Grand Trunk

Western Railroad line, was converted into a green pathway, ideal for running and cycling. Additionally, Belle Isle, a 900-acre park in the middle of the river, has more than six miles of roadway that includes a pedestrian and bike lane. The Clean Downtown partnership program provides litter and graffiti control, continuous cleaning and sweeping of 39 miles of sidewalk, maintenance of parks and green space covering the equivalent of 15 football fields. It also supports events which attract millions of people to downtown.

Businesses such as Fifth Third Bank and runDetroit, a running specialty store, sponsor races and allow local running clubs to use their facilities or offer discounts on purchases. The Detroit Free Press sponsors the city’s yearly marathon in conjunction with Talmer Bank. The newspaper also covers major running events such as the 10,000-participant St. Patrick’s Day Parade Corktown Race. Other events are covered by regional running publications including Michigan Runner.

The Motor City Striders, an RRCA member club, has existed for more than 56 years along with the 30-plus-year-old Downtown Runners and Walkers, who submitted the application. Despite harsh winters, running events are held year-round. City leadership helps by issuing permits for events that have proof of insurance and well-thought-out course plans. The police provide patrol support during races. Downtown is blanketed with security provided by Project Lighthouse, a public-private partnership involving the U.S. Homeland Security Department, Coast Guard, FBI, customs and border patrol, state, county and city police departments, and private security companies.

“The beginning of any race event in Detroit is made warm and welcoming with the cheering crowds and encouragement from residents and volunteers,” said city Urban Design and Sustainability head Khalil Mogassabi. “Runners who come to Detroit will cherish their experience and want to come back again.” Community leaders providing support included Mogassabi, Detroit Sports Commission executive director Dave Beachnau, Fifth Third Bank senior vice president and marketing director Jack C. Riley, Downtown Runners and Walkers vice president Doug Kurtis and runDetroit co-owner Justin Craig.

Ann Arbor Ann Arbor is Michigan’s sixth-largest city with populations of more than 113,000 within city limits and close to 345,000 in the metro area. The University of Michigan gives the community its own unique identity, fostering an appreciation for creativity, intellect and innovation. Better than 15 percent of Ann Arbor residents walk to work, more than six times the national average. As such, the city has created an infrastructure to support healthy lifestyles. There are more than 475 miles of sidewalks and 57 miles of shared-use paths within its limits. The Border Trail Project aims to create a contiguous, 35-mile-long path along the Huron River. Almost the entire length of the river within city limits can be walked or run.

The 69-acre Gallup Park, included in this stretch, offers looped trails for runs of up to 10 miles along flat terrain; some sections are posted with markers every quarter-mile for speed training. Park facilities include drinking fountains and benches for taking a break or enjoying the scenery.

The local government repeatedly works to make Ann Arbor runner-friendly. Since 2008, the state has recognized Ann Arbor as a Gold Status community for outstanding achievements in making it easy for people to be active. The city’s Walk-BikeDrive Program includes a Pedestrian Safety and Access Task Force.

The Ann Arbor Track Club, which submitted the application, has existed for more than 50 years. It organizes training groups, provides scholarships for high school runners, hosts fundraisers and uses the sport to build partnerships with the city and businesses. The AATC’s signature event, the annual Dexter to Ann Arbor Run, served as the 2014 RRCA National Half Marathon Championship. The race is held in coordination with the Taste of Ann Arbor food event featuring local restaurants. Other businesses that support running in the community include Ann Arbor Running Co., PR Fitness, other running stores, coffee shops that allow runners to gather before group runs, the worldfamous Zingerman’s Deli and physical therapists who offer free runners’ clinics.

onship at that distance. Additionally, the government provides pedestrian networks throughout the town, complete with water fountains, streetlights, accessible bathrooms and ample parking. The town has also made efforts to place signs demonstrating how local trails connect.

The Huron Valley Athletic Club, which submitted the application, puts on 13 to 24 events per year, highlighted by the Labor Day 30K. Members also promote running by donating money to organizations including the school’s track team, community sharing and swim and dive team. Shoe store Feets Sake sponsors and hosts several races in the community, while the Huron Valley Recreation Authority provides indoor tracks, pools and community fitness centers. “The Huron Valley region is a very active area,” said HVRA director Shannon Loso. “We will continue to grow our offerings and put resources in the right areas so we can focus both on the enrichment and recreational opportunities for our community.”

Community leaders providing support included Loso, Jennifer Barret of the Huron Valley Chamber of Commerce, HVAC president Doug Klingensmith, village president Jerry Aubry and YMCA executive director Bartholomew D. Reed.

“Ann Arbor enjoys a positive relationship with the running community,” Mayor Christopher Taylor said. “It offers numerous trails and paths, many close to the center of the city, for runners to explore. It is truly a mecca for running enthusiasts.”

Community leaders providing support included Taylor, AATC president Mitchell Garner and board member Diane Scarpace, Burns Park Run co-director Jamie Phillips, Running Fit-Ann Arbor field director Trevor Step, Dexter to Ann Arbor race director Doug Goodhue and FootPrints shoe store owner John Carnsland.

Milford Milford, population 6,280, is in the Huron Valley about 40 miles from Detroit and serves as the central business district for close to 25,000 people in the surrounding area. Its downtown district, a National Historic Landmark established just before the turn of the century, features many national retailers along with local businesses, yet still retains smalltown charm. The Milford Trail, which opened in 2009, is 3.6 miles long and connects the downtown YMCA to the entrance of Kensington Park. The 4,481-acre facility offers hilly and flat terrain plus multiple trails, including a 3-mile loop in its center which crosses the Huron River. Another trail splits off from there, heading south for 4.75 miles to traverse wooded areas, wetlands and prairie along the river. In addition to Kensington Park, Milford has rolling hills and extensive natural areas enjoyed by beginning and advanced runners. The village helps sponsor the Labor Day 30K festival of races, Milford’s biggest running event. It has served many times as the RRCA state champimichiganrunner.net

Running with Tom Henderson

his was going to be a column about a minor death, of Running Times magazine, whose January-February issue was its last.

Tom Henderson from my plans.

Then a tragic New Year’s Eve death of one of the real nice guys in the running community — fittingly while volunteering at the Belle Isle New Year’s Eve 5K — erased the word “minor”

Dennis Handley was the last guy in the world you’d have thought was a fraud investigator, if you only knew him as a fellow runner with the downtown runners and walkers, a group that has been meeting at different Detroit area bars or restaurants

By Tom Henderson

every Tuesday night for more than 30 years. He was quick to laugh, a teller of corny jokes, a gentle soul always eager to greet new faces and put them at ease. A marathon runner who turned one addiction, for smoking, into another, running (and then walking after knee-replacement surgery). Denny seemed the least tenacious guy you’d ever meet, a twinkle always in his eye, cliché be damned. But tenacious he was. If you asked him about his job, he was happy to talk about who he’d busted, how stupid they’d been, how much fun it was to take them down. After getting an accounting degree from Walsh College, he worked more than 30 years as a fraud investigator for Blue Cross-Blue Shield, then did his sleuthing for the National Insurance Crime Bureau until his death. Denny went out too early at 71, but in fine style if you have to go out. No cancer. Nothing drawn out. Talking to his partner of more than 25 years, Karen White, while doing something he loved. Although his racing days were behind him after more than 20 marathons, Denny had remained an active volunteer in the running community. On New Year’s Eve, as he’d been for decades, he was out on Belle Isle helping race director Jeanne Bocci put on her 46th annual family fun run. Denny was out on the course after the race to fetch mile markers. He picked up the last one and was standing next to his car. He called Karen to see when she was going to arrive home from a visit to Kentucky. Suddenly there was silence on his end. She probably thought his cell phone had dropped the call or his battery had gone dead. Another volunteer saw Denny’s car and went over, saw him lying there and called 911. A DNR car

was there within a minute. A defibrillator and CPR failed to revive him. He was later pronounced dead at Detroit Receiving Hospital. A guy with a heart of gold had died of a heart attack. “He has been my left and right hand for at least 25 years,” Bocci told the Detroit Free Press. “We’re all shocked but grateful he didn’t suffer — he went out doing what he loved,” said Julie Hamilton, a longtime member of the downtown runners. Denny was also the longtime overseer of the relay event at the Detroit Free Press/Talmer Bank Marathon. It draws close to 600 teams each year. “The loss of Dennis leaves a huge hole in all our hearts,” said marathon director Barbara Bennage. “I think I can speak for everyone when I say his infectious smile, Irish sense of humor and willingness to help whenever and wherever will be sorely missed.” I have two Denny Handley stories. Both happened at my old one-room schoolhouse in the woods northeast of Traverse City. One weekend each summer these days my Crain’s Detroit Business colleagues come up for a weekend of bonfires, lots of beer, grilled meat and runs, hikes and mountain bike rides in the woods. In the late 1980s and early ’90s, the downtown running club came up each July for the Traverse City Cherry Festival 15K and 5K. In addition to copious fire, beer and meat, there were races to be run.— and at the end of a threeday weekend, lots of garbage to be hauled out. One year Denny came up, hauling a pop-up camper to sleep in. At the end of the weekend, nice guy he was, he offered to take all the garbage and loaded the bags into his camper, then popped the top down for the ride back to Ferndale. Alas, poor Denny forgot about the garbage. He parked his camper and it stayed parked until the following spring, when he hooked it up to his car and headed off someplace for the weekend. He got to his destination, parked the camper, popped the top back up and was greeted by one of the worst stenches anyone ever got smacked in the face with. The other story? The schoolhouse now has creature comforts. But in those days, there was an outhouse for taking care of business. With 30 runners doing their busi-

ness over three days, that outhouse got to stinking mightily. And the hole got pretty darn full. So in the wee hours of Sunday morning, five or six beers into a buzz, Denny excused himself from the bonfire to head for the outhouse. The structure was old, not quite rickety but getting there. The sides were in better shape than the floor, as it turned out. Denny had been bragging about his new, expensive hiking boots, and fate was about to tell him what it thought about bragging. Denny went in, closed the door and before he could sit down, the floor boards gave way and he fell into waist-deep doo-doo. Miraculously, he levitated out as fast he fell in, bounding up and out of the outhouse, shoes and pants covered with black excrement. And Denny being Denny, he started laughing his butt off and grabbed another beer. Or was it wine? Denny being a wine buff, maybe it was wine. Denny is survived by a daughter, Courtney Rattenbury, of Brooklyn, N.Y.; two grandsons and a sister. Donations in his name may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital at stjude.org or 262 Danny Thomas Place, Memphis, TN 38105.

he first annual Perry Badia Memorial 5K Run and Walk will be Sunday, May 22, on the campus at Oakland University, one his favorite places to run. Another of the nicest guys in the running community, Perry died at age 54 after being struck by a car while running on the campus May 14 last year. Drugs and alcohol weren’t involved. Police said the 25-year-old driver might have been blinded by the sun. No charges were filed. Perry, who lived in Rochester, sold computer and software packages for a living. He was survived by two daughters, Ashlee, 15, and Sabrina, 12, who live with his ex-wife, Kristin. Pre-registration is $25. It’ll cost you $30 on race day, which will includes a t-shirt, finishing medal, snacks and drinks. Oh, and those hills Perry loved and Oakland U. is known for. One hundred percent of the proceeds will benefit the Warren Cousino High School cross-country program. For information or to register, go to http://perrybadiamemorial.events.

got into running during the first big boom, training for the 1981 Free Press marathon, the first race I ever did and the first time I ran with another person. A free-lance writer, I was thrilled to find out there was a local publication, Michigan Runner magazine, and three national pubs, Runner’s World, Running Times and The Runner.

I began writing for MR in 1982 and have only missed a couple issues since.

Handley Made Mark in Vivid Running Life By Kacey Tulley

he path of a runner is seldom straight or predictable. I never thought I’d run a route through a funeral home, but there was no better way to pay tribute to Dennis Handley. Runners obsess over paths. Is the course flat and fast? How is the footing? At what mile do the hills start? Are the turns clearly marked? These questions fueled him. “Dennis thought of everything (that pertains to a race),” said his longtime friend, Doug Howell. “He asked the hard questions and made plans for everything that could happen — so it wouldn’t happen.”

I sold a piece or two to The Runner before it died circa 1984. And I’ve sold a bunch of stuff over the years to Running Times and Runner’s World, including profiles of Olympic miler Paul McMullen and travel pieces about the Upper Peninsula and running in Ecuador, Guatemala, the Great Wall of China Marathon and Angor Wat HalfMarathon. I stopped subscribing to RW years ago, bored by its constant stories about six ways to take four inches off your waist, five training tips to take two minutes off your 10K and nine snacks to take nine points off your cholesterol count.

There are few perfect courses, unless it was one overseen by Dennis. He was an artist of sorts; his masterpieces being races in which he and then others were able to make their dreams come true. As Detroit Free Press Marathon relay director, Dennis had more sleepless nights than runners ran miles. Hundreds of miles of barricades had to be set out to line the race course. Transition cones had to be placed precisely. Buses and drivers all had to go by plan.

Running Times I kept paying for. It was less glossy, less a product of marketing than of a genuine love for the sport, even after it was bought by Runner’s World a few years ago.

It’s fitting that Dennis, in his death, fashioned one last perfect route. After every runner had finished the 46th annual Fifth-Third New Year’s Eve Belle Isle Run, he went back to pick up the last of the signs and cones. There he crossed his own finish line.

I especially loved it in the old days, when each issue was a compilation of results from races big and small around the country. I’d read about the Crater Lake Marathon, or the Port St. Joe Jingle Bell Trot or a Key West 10K and get travel lust for all the places I could run races in.

Friends from the Downtown Detroit Runners and Walkers Club met at an Irish bar afterwards in his memory. Stories, drinks, laughter and tears flowed as we celebrated his life. His daughter Cortney told of how she could always count on Dennis. One time, when her car broke down in the wee hours of the morning, she walked to a nearby motel and called him. Soon thereafter a mechanic, dispatched by Dennis, knocked on her door. He had called all over the small town, waking people up, to find a mechanic.

Funny thing is, in November I got a pitch in the mail from Running Times telling me my subscription was expiring, but if I reupped I’d get a free runner’s watch. The strap on mine had just broke, so I re-upped.

I learned Dennis had taken ballroom dancing lessons before the Super Bowl held in Detroit, so he could be on the field at halftime with the Rolling Stones. Legend holds he and his running buddies had spectacular race celebration parties after the work was done. After one Traverse City run, they acquired asbestos suits in order to do some beverage-inspired fire walking at a bonfire. As custom has it, we circled up, greeted each another, reviewed the route and ran a course Dennis would have loved. Wearing blinking, flashing and headlamp-topped night running outfits, we ran to and through the funeral home, where more friends and family had gathered to tell stories.

A week after I got my watch in the mail, I got a postcard from Running Times announcing the next issue would be its last and the rest of my subscription would be filled with Runner’s Worlds. Farewell. RT. Farewell, Denny.

Dennis, who worked so hard to provide safe courses, left a hole we will have to climb out of, then continue to run on.

Farewell, Perry. - MR -
