Club Presidents are honored

By BRUCE MORRISON, Publisher bruce.morrison@running.net Some honors: — Nicholas Norfolk, president of the Little Rock Roadrunners and columnist for Running Journal, has been named outstanding club president by the Arkansas RRCA. Nicholas seems to be everywhere at once in Arkansas promoting running.

Just read his reports each month and you’ll realize how committed he is as a running ambassador. I met Nicholas at this year’s National RRCA Convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

— Richard Betz, president of the Highlands Roadrunners Club in the mountains of North Carolina was once again elected “President for Life” of that club. Richard invites runners to his area this winter to “run in ice and snow,” noting that runners actually participate in races with the words “Frostbite” or “Madness” in the titles.

— Barbara Latta of Raleigh, NC, has run at least a mile every day for more than 30 years. She was surprised one recent morning when a group of members from the North Carolina Road Runners Club joined her early morning run. Our columnist in Raleigh, Teri Saylor, was among them and her report is in this issue.

This Running Life

Barbara Latta: 30-year running streak The year was 1983.

Ronald Regan was president. Sally Ride became the first American woman in space. McDonald's introduced the McNugget. Microsoft Word was launched.

Tom Brokaw became the lead anchor for NBC News. Vanessa Williams was the first African American woman crowned Miss America. Michael Jackson made the “moonwalk” a famous dance move. The first Stairmaster came out.

And at the tender age of 42, Barbara Latta started running every day. She celebrated the 30th anniversary of her running streak Dec. 5. Latta, of Raleigh, NC, has run every day during five presidential administrations - Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, and Obama. She has run past the disasters of Sept. 11, 2001, Hurricane Andrew, and the tragic space shuttles Challenger and Columbia explosions.

Since Latta started running every day, 30 movies have won Academy Awards.

There have been 30 Super Bowl champions, 30 World Series champions and 30 NBA champions.

runner.

“I told her that Barbara Latta 'has been running every day almost as long as you have been alive,'” he said at a recent special run commemorating Latta's 30th streak anniversary.

“For anyone 30 years old or younger, Barbara has been running every day for their entire life,” Broyles said.

A young television reporter standing nearby gasped.

On a mild, foggy, pitch-dark December fifth morning in Raleigh, Latta showed up at 6 a.m. for her daily run on one of the Raleigh Greenway system's trails around Shelley Lake. Located about a mile from Latta's home, it is her favorite running spot.

For the record, 6:00 was a little late in the day for her. She's normally up at 5, lacing up her shoes and heading out the door.

A few close friends met her on this special morning, and her husband, Mike, came along just for the fun of it.

A local television station was set up to film the epic anniversary run, and a flash mob was tucked into the wooded land-

scape along the greenway as a surprise.

Everyone was giddy with excitement and a little nervous they might give Latta a heart attack, or get hit with a snootful of pepper spray when they jumped out of the dark woods to surprise her.

All in all, the merry band of pranksters included two dozen runners, four dogs, one reporter with a large camera set-up, and one husband.

30-year odyssey, he might be shocked.

Or not.

From the very beginning, Latta started keeping meticulous records, logging every run, and every single mile. The logs started on a little Hallmark pocket calendar.

Then she started keeping notebooks, one for every year she's been running.

About eight years ago, Latta came across a Wall Street Journal article about a man who had been running every day for so long he was ranked near the top of the charts of the United States Running Streak Association. By that time, she had been running every day for about 22 years.

“I looked up the association on the Internet, and I asked for more information. They sent me a newsletter,” she said.

Barbara and friends celebrating her 30th Anniversary run.

“I can't believe it has been 30 years,” an elated Latta said after finishing her celebratory run. “I never even considered having a streak. I just started running and kept it up.”

Latta is a retired teacher, and if the principal who planted a seed for Barbara to start running every day could know how that seed has taken root and grown into a

Barbara on her 30th Anniversary run.

When Latta started running every day, we did not have smart phones, iPods or Garmins. There were no navigational systems or digital cameras. There were no websites, email, Facebook or any other social media.

Thirty years adds up to nearly 11,000 straight days of running without missing a single day.

Brad Broyles, president of the North Carolina Roadrunners Club recalled a recent conversation with a 31-year-old Barbara being interviewed about her 30th Anniversary run.

She signed up as a life member, right on the spot.

“That was a big motivating thing,” she said. “There were people on the list who had been running longer than me, and I thought 'maybe I can keep up my running every day, too.'”

The USRSA was founded in 2000, and today, there are 417 runners with active streaks listed. The longest streak belongs to Jon Sutherland, a 63-year-old writer from West Hills, Calif. whose streak started over 44 years ago, on May 25, 1969.

The latest-ranked streaker is Joshua Pedelty, 39, a Cedar Rapids, Iowa lawyer, who has been running every day since October 13, 2012.

According to the USRSA rules “runners must run at least one continuous mile within each calendar day under one's own body power (without the utilization of any type of health or mechanical aid other than prosthetic devices). Running under one's own body power can occur on either the roads, a track, over hill and dale, or on a treadmill. Running cannot occur through the use of canes, crutches or banisters, or reliance on pools or aquatic devices to create artificial buoyancy.”

two ran the rest of the race together talking as they went. They chatted about their jobs and Kim was delighted to talk about his recent travels to the United States and his two favorite places, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Kim told Mathews he had only one foreign friend on the island but he liked meeting people from different places and cultures and was happy to have met her on their run.

just to find a local race to run.

Mathews, a graduate of Florida State University, was a middle school math teacher in Lakeland, FL who was living the life of someone early in their education career. Learning more about her craft each day and enjoying bonding with her students while seeing their success in her classes. She loved what she was doing, but there was something inside her that needed to get out and experience the world abroad.

She attended a job fair in Boston where international schools from all over the world interviewed and hired potential candidates to teach all over the world.

Mathews landed a position at the Korea International School on Jeju Island off the southern coast of South Korea where she now teaches seventh grade math. Jeju is known as the “Hawaii of South Korea” because of the many beach resorts and large agricultural areas, including citrus, giving this Florida girl a small taste of home.

Having been a member of the Lakeland Runners Club back home and having seen her 5K race times drop quite a bit in the last few months before moving, she wanted to keep up her running and continue to see improvement while keeping her fitness up. The only problem for her was that Jeju only had two organized races she could find, one in the winter and one in the spring.

On November 17, she ran in the Jeju Mandarine International Running Festival which offered a marathon, half marathon, 10k and 5K, with Mathews choosing to run the 10K. But before she could ever

equation.”

And that's how Latta does it.

“I run almost without thinking about it,” she said. “I just get up, get dressed and go to the refrigerator to get water or apple juice or whatever falls out, and then I'm out the door. I feel better when I run early in the morning. I have more energy then.”

Latta also prefers running in cold weather -- “it's easier to run when it's 20 degrees than when it's 90,” she said.

When there's ice on the ground she runs on the grass where there is more traction.

She runs alone mostly, but enjoys group runs with her friends in the North Carolina Roadrunners Club.

She has run on rooftops, porches and the deck of a cruise ship. She ran on a treadmill just one time, when the weather was too stormy to go outside. She has largely avoided injury over the years, and last January her running streaked survived two dog bites.

The one condition she avoids is lightening.

Since Latta started her streak, Raleigh has been hit with several tornadoes and two major Hurricanes - Fran in 1996 and Floyd in 1999. Still Latta found a way to run.

She had a hard time when her father died at 93, and despite a flood of tears and the anguish of heartbreak, she found a way to run.

Overall, Latta is a pretty speedy runner too. And she is competitive. She lists the adversaries (also her best friends) who can beat her in her age group at various distances.

“Louise Guardino (72) can beat me in the shorter races - the mile and the 5K; and Sally Squier (70) beats me in marathons,” Latta said. “I'm a better middle-distance runner.”

In November, she served as a pace group leader in the Rex Half Marathon race during the Raleigh City of Oaks Marathon. Over the years, she has run four marathons, and competes in the annual Magnificent Mile race each September in downtown Raleigh. Last September, she ran the mile in 8:54:56.

“Louise beat me in that one,” Latta said.

“My fastest Magnificent Mile was 8:18 in 2011.”

She usually runs three miles a day, competes in up to 25 races of varying mileage annually, and schedules a marathon distance run once a year.

She has a record of every mile she has ever run, but can't imagine trying to add all of them up. It would surely number well into the six figures.

Latta can't predict when she'll stop her streak. But you can bet it won't be anytime soon.

“My mother is 102 years old and she still walks a mile every day,” she said. “If she can keep walking every day at a good pace, maybe I can too.”

Got any plans for Dec. 5, 2043?

Some runners allow apparatus aplenty to accompany them as they log their miles -Music players, GPS watches, water bottle belts, head lamps, and even heart rate monitors have toed the starting line of road races with countBy less runners. However some runners would rather run freely, unencumbered by gadgets and Mary Marcia Brown unbothered by burdensome thoughts.

Try as they may, sometimes runners are faced with no other choice than to trek to the starting line with unwelcome company. The heebie-jeebies, stomach-fluttering butterflies, leaf-like shakes, and bundles of nerves have attended tons of runs … invited or not. Their presence propels some runners while overwhelming others.

a part of his 2014 running lineup Mignosa said, “Confidence allows someone to master their fear. I'll try and keep my fear in check by training consistently and with purpose.”

Perhaps his fear will help propel him to newly realized PRS, or perhaps he will leave his fear on each course. You’ll have to wait and ask him as he flies through the finish chutes.

She (Mary Marcia Brown) said…

For as many years as I can remember, as my mom placed the first of the year’s many Christmas gifts under our tree, she would begin a predictable confession that divulged the discretion she used when once upon a Christmas Eve she meticulously unwrapped every single one of the gifts that bore her name under the tree.

After enjoying the genuine excitement of the first revelation of each previously disguised goodie all by herself, my mom carefully rewrapped each gift and feigned surprise as she unwrapped the gifts for a second time in front of family and friends. The holiday moral of the story for me and my brother of course, was my mom’s tender, “Don’t even think about touching one of these gifts until I tell you to” warning.

She did not need to worry about that from me.

Granted I may have been a bit fearful of what would have happened if I were discovered uncovering my Cabbage Patch kid a day early, but the fear factor is not what prevented me from peeking inside each pretty package. I did not want to ruin my surprise! I did not want to

know what I was going to get.

There is a box full of irony in that revelation because, other than gifts, I want to know exactly what I am going to get. In fact, it is the “not knowing” in life that often makes me nervous, sick, suspicious and even fearful. I want to know what I can expect from people, events, trips, and even runs.

Maybe this is why I prefer familiar running routes, the exact same training treadmill, tried and true running attire, pre-planned playlists, and six-year old sunglasses. Maybe this is why I eat the same thing before each run, check the weather before I open the door, ride routes prerace, and locate bathrooms before the gun. I want to know what to expect.

The thought of running one unfamiliar block fills me with the fear of fanged dogs, and surface-eating sink holes. Trying a new pre-run protein bar compromises my calm and causes my stomach to stir before I even take a bite. I want to know what to expect.

Now naturally, I know that I can’t really know what the next meal, minute, run, or year is going to bring. I can’t possibly know that the route I run every day will not be blocked tomorrow or deemed the site of a dog parade the day after. Yet somehow, feeling like I know helps my fear to subside. Covering my fear’s ears and shielding them from the unknown with the created confidence that tells me I DO in fact know helps me enjoy each run more fully.

So while I may not actually get rid of fear for the New Year, I will continue to keep it contained by being a “know-it-all” about all things except the contents of gifts that bear my name.

I don’t have to know what has been wrapped in a pretty big-bowed box to know that fear is typically far from my mind when I find out.

Running Journal • January 2014

Learning from the Young Guns Avoiding the Winter Doldrums It's time to get off on the right foot with your New Year's resolution, to get out there and have the best winter of training ever. However, if you're like many of us and have a hard time following through on that resolution this time of year, then I've got some ideas to spice things up for you and eliminate the excuses. Being in the south, most of us don't deal with the severe weather problems of the Midwest or Northeast, but it doesn't take much freezing rain to keep me inside. For many, this is also the time of year that is the least glamorous, but perhaps most important part of training - the winter base phase. It's not the excitement of running intervals on the track or doing marathon specific long runs, but putting in the base phase is the foundation for all the “fun” workouts you do as you get closer to your race. For those looking towards spring and summer races it can be easy to lose motivation this far out from your goal races, but there is no replacing the aerobic strength that needs to be put in during the winter.

I'm going to get this out of the way first since, for most, this is the least palatable solution to your winter doldrums. I know its blasphemy to many, but here it goes… the treadmill can be your friend. Unfortunately, the snow and ice are not, and I'd rather have any runner I coach go for a run on the treadmill than slip and slide through injury inducing precipitation. Grab a friend, go to gym, and get side by side treadmills because after all, misery loves company.

It's not all bad though; you can get some great work in on a treadmill and have precise control of your effort while you're doing it. Use the treadmill as an opportunity to do an uphill progression run, one of my favorite workouts we use up here in the mountains, and nearly impossible to replicate outside.

Start the workout with a flat, easy warm-up then start the progression. The progression is broken into three-minute segments. Within each three-minute segment increase the incline every minute, but keep the pace constant. Do each three minute segment twice, and start the first one 10-15 seconds per mile slower than marathon pace. Begin the first minute of each three-minute segment at one percent incline, move to two percent at two minutes, and three percent for the final minute. After doing the three-minute segment twice increase the pace slightly and stick with the same incline progression as before. This is a great strength workout that also incorpo-

rates the benefits of hill running I introduced back in October. It keeps you busy too; pushing a button every minute helps the run go by much faster. Even if you are stuck doing an easy run on the treadmill make sure to vary up the pace and the incline a little bit throughout the run to keep it interesting.

I also want to talk about some nonrunning options that can help improve aerobic fitness and keep things fresh by mixing up your workout regimen. I want to preface this with something my college coach always said, “nothing replaces running like running.” This is true, but there are some things you can do to improve aerobic fitness (and keep off some of those holiday pounds).

While running is the best option for improving running performance, your heart doesn't know the difference between running and anything else that keeps the heart rate elevated. My favorite non-running exercise for runners is deep water running, and who knows, maybe getting in the pool during the winter will help you feel like you're at the beach.

Deep water running translates well to running because you're mimicking the running motion while you're in the water, with one slight variation. You should keep your shoulders in line with your hips, focus on driving your arms forward and back, and drive your knees as if you were doing a high knee drill (the slight variation). The most effective way to work out in the water is to do short, high intensity intervals with short recovery. I like to do break downs of things such as 10 sets of 50 seconds sprint with 10 seconds recovery, 10 sets of 40 seconds sprint with 20 seconds recovery, and 30 seconds sprint with 30 seconds recovery. These will keep your heart rate elevated and keep the effort short enough to where you can really work hard without losing focus during the interval. You will want to wear a foam flotation belt to ensure proper form; otherwise you'll end up doing an

awkward doggy paddle and lose the running specific benefits.

Jumping on an exercise bike or elliptical are great cross training tools as well, and your focus should be on keeping your RPM's high. Once you get warmed up you want to keep the RPM's up over 90 to get the best translation to running economy. This means staying away from those high gears that bring you out of the saddle and focusing on rotating quickly.

Cross training is a good tool to use for running supplementation as well as if you get injured, but it can also be used to develop aerobic strength and mix up the scenery a little bit during times when you need a jump start. Happy New Year, and let's start this year off running!

Masters Running

Reflections over a Medal A few weeks before I wrote this I participated in the City of Oaks Half Marathon in Raleigh, NC. The course looped through downtown streets, with the second half of the accompanying full marathon going out of the central part of the city and into the northern suburbs. My 1:57:48 time put me somewhere in the middle of the pack, and second in my age group. It was a solid effort, although a little slower than my other recent half marathons. But I was happy and proud to have finished in less than two hours on a challenging course with several rolling hills.

After I crossed the finish line, a volunteer hung a medal around my neck. It was about as big as the palm of my hand, and the biggest medal I have ever received in any race. It featured a nice design, unique for the City of Oaks races. The name of the race and the year were engraved on the front, while the word “Finisher” and the title sponsor's name were on the back. In other words, it was something I could proudly wear around my neck as a memento of my accomplishment!

But when looking at the medal I couldn't help but also reflect on another era, when I had to place in a race, not just finish, in order to receive a medal. And the medals I got in those days were less than a third the size of the one that I had just earned for completing the 13.1 mile course.

on the front, and the year and how I placed on the back. Medals were only given to the first 10 finishers, so I was the last one to receive one. It is a keepsake since I earned it by placing in one of the most prestigious races in the world. Never mind that it was probably easier to place in 1984 than in most other years around that time, since American elite women were sitting out Boston to participate in the inaugural Olympic Trials race a month later. I still placed in the Boston Marathon and got a medal as proof and a token of remembrance. (I could not take part in the Trials, since I was not a US citizen at the time.)

When I got home I put the two medals next to each other, and saw a story unfold in front of me. A story about how times have changed in the running community in the past 30 years. It isn't just the size of the medals that have grown, but also the number of runners and races. The demography of race participants is very different now than back in 1984 when I charged through the Boston course on a cool and rainy day. The proportion of women in races has increased tremendously, and we are on the average older and not as fast as we used to be. The main reasons why people run races are different now than then, and we are not as competitive. It is more about quantity than qualiMedals earned 30 years apart: Boston Marathon 1984, and the ty, and several runners are City of Oaks Half Marathon 2013 collectors of those medals!

When I see medals from different In particular, it made me remember the 1984 Boston Marathon, where I placed recent races, whether on my Facebook 10th overall among the women. For that page or in real life, part of me understand performance I got a medal that was just a why they are such treasures. Each medal little bigger than a quarter. It had the let- has a unique look, with something special ters BAA (for Boston Athletic identifying the race they represent in their Association) and the BAA logo engraved design. Earlier this year I ran the Tobacco

www.running.net Road Half Marathon, also in the Raleigh area. Then I received a medal almost as big as the one from City of Oaks, with a picture of a locomotive to recognize that much of the race was run on what used to be a railroad.

Sometimes races try to outdo each other in offering the coolest or biggest design. Medals tend to be bigger for full marathons than half marathons. Currently the one that takes the prize is for the Little Rock Marathon in Arkansas. No, I didn't run this race, so I didn't earn the medal I pose with in one of the pictures here. But I couldn't resist having my picture taken wearing it when I browsed through the Expo at a recent conference!

In most of the longer races today every finisher gets a big and fancy medal. And finishing is what running and racing is primarily about these days. Forget about placing or running a personal best, just cross that finish line and save some energy for next weekend's half marathon!

Having this attitude towards your running is not necessarily a bad thing, but often the contrary. It has brought many people into the sport who would probably have been too intimidated to join the skinny and competitive crowd that were us runners thirty years ago. If running weren't as welcoming to all as it is today, many participants we now see at the races would be sedentary. Running gets people out there moving! It also gives them a healthy hobby and a social outlet.

Of course there are still a few of us who are competitive, who pick our races based on the course and the competition, and not the look of the medal or the bands on the course. But like everyone else, race organizers listen to the masses and give them what they want. There are more opportunities now than ever for “For Profit” race management companies to ride the wave and offer runners a race experience with a lot of extra swag, often for a steep entry fee. For some runners a “straightforward” 5K or marathon is not enough. Instead they want something more, and something different. So we now have Color Runs, Mud Runs, and the likes. While these events may be fun for participants, they can create major headaches for neighborhoods and insurers.

For us runners, it means more events than ever to choose from. Not only more in terms of quantity, but also more variety.

And variety can be both in the type of events, and in their quality. We need to research events more than before, to make sure they are what we want, and also that they are “legit”. Whenever opportunities abound for honest entrepreneurs, there are also opportunities for scammers, unfortunately. True even in racing. So it is always a good idea to investigate before signing up for a brand new race that is coming to your town.

Anyway, here I am, almost 30 years

after my 1984 10th place at Boston. Still alive and still running! Only we masters runners remember that era, when running usually meant getting in shape for racing, and racing was getting from start to finish as fast as possible, on a course that was completely or mostly on roads. No gimmicks, not even chip timing. You got a Tshirt back then too, but it was cotton. No medals, unless you placed overall or in your age group. A “challenging” course meant one with natural hills on it, not one with wires, mud pits and other man made obstacles. Maybe you got sprayed with water hoses on the course on a hot day, but never with colored cornstarch!

I didn't earn this Little Rock Marathon finisher medal. But it is the biggest one around today!

If you were born before 1974 you are considered a masters runner as of today.

And if you started running at a young age you probably remember those days, when running meant running and racing meant racing. But maybe you are a masters runner who got involved in the sport later in life, or a younger runner who read my column to get a different perspective. Then you may not remember the times when running was primarily a competitive sport. Since then it has gradually changed to an activity for almost everyone. With emphasis on gradually! If you have been continuously involved in our sport you probably haven't noticed the changes very much from year to year. But when you stare at two medals, earned in races that were almost 30 years apart, then it dawns on you how much times have changed from one generation of runners to the next!

is more like New York City these days.

Reluctantly, I got in the car and drove back to paradise on Anna Maria Island on the other side of the state.

As I drove down alligator Alley in the dark, I thought how lucky we are to live in a state that has such diversity. Miami really is like going to another country. In some ways, it felt so much more alive and vibrant. The demographics are quite different. I was aware of how many more younger people I saw. I also remembered how difficult it was to run on the sand there. And how much easier it is to do my almost daily runs on the level, ideally compact sand on Anna Maria Island.

A few days later, I got to run the Sheriff's Activities League half marathon (13.1 miles) in Sarasota. I placed 5th in my age group (the 49th 5K or longer race I've placed in since 2006 “just” on plants).

My first half marathon placement. If I lived in larger cities, placing in my age group as often as I have may not be as easy. At my age, it can often be just about showing up.

In the mist, and dealing with a painful ankle as I experiment with shoes and orthotics to help my aging body deal with miles of hard asphalt, I didn't achieve any records. I ran remembering the words of the publisher of the “Running Journal,” this magazine that I write for, as well as my coach: that currently being seventh in the US in my age group in the 1500 meters, after getting there from county and state competitions, means that it is rare for someone with my sprint times to have ever finished a marathon. Because Florida has such diverse and runnerfriendly surfaces now, you can do it all, right here. Love our state. Gotta run!

The media love to have fun with Florida and all of its crazy characters. But that's what happens when you get to be large and popular. There will be the share of nut cases and all kinds of folks the media loves to squander headlines on. Don't you love all the state has to offer though?

Especially as a runner?

I was very lucky to be the only author my publisher invited to book sign at the Miami Book Fair. It was the second year in a row and, it was every bit as fun as last year. This year, the weather was definitely more cantankerous. The first two days were almost a wash-out with wind and downpours rivaling any tropical storm.

At one point, the wind was so strong that the tents provided by the book fair, which were grounded in concrete blocks almost blew over. The water didn't drain fast enough and the two employees from my publisher, as well as I, were standing in ankle-deep water. But the show must go on and by day three, we sold many more books than last year. I sold more than 100 books and topped my numbers from last year. Considering that most other book titles didn't more than five at the max, it really was an excellent event.

As one buyer said, “I don't know about vegan, but you had me at $4 a day.” The flipside is that I had pay my expenses, as most authors do these days. Fortunately I got to stay with my best friend from high school who lives in Miami. She lives on Brickell Key. When I was a TV reporter in Miami in 1980 I lived in a leaky nine-story condo, (since replaced with a mega-highrise condo building) in Coconut Grove that overlooked Brickell Key. As I ran the running path on Brickell Key, I saw a photo of the same view I had back in 1980, which at the time, was just a spoil island with nothing on it but dirt. I was blown away by how many people were now running all the time. Everywhere! Someone told me that Miami often has 200 people on evening training runs. In 1980, I had to struggle to find a suitable place to run.

Forget about finding another kindred soul to run with.

My friend lives on the 10th floor of a 30-story condo building. She has a gorgeous view out her window and has her bed right against the window so that she can fall asleep looking at the spectacular Miami skyline. I found myself wanting to stay longer, yet as we drove down Biscayne Boulevard, I thought that Miami

Women’s Running

A Race Like No Other on the World Stage I have thought for several weeks about the 43rd ING New York City Marathon and decided to utilize my column to report on the strangest race I think I have ever witnessed. I have had the privilege for over a decade to have a front row vantage point for the women's race at the marathon. I am on the press truck and get to watch the race up close and personal as it unfolds step by step, mile by mile.

This year's field was the largest ever with 50,700 starters and 50,266 finishers, 30,699 men and 19,567 women. Security was tight and participants were only allowed to take a clear plastic bag to the start. The roads were cordoned off with yellow tape and there was a huge police presence. The safety of all participants and spectators was of paramount importance in this post Boston Marathon stage.

But the 43rd edition was a true celebration for the city that had canceled the 2012 race due to Hurricane Sandy's impact. It appeared that everyone was thankful for a gorgeous day, albeit it 46 degrees with a 15 mph headwind for a good part of the race. Spirits were high and the folks on the press truck were expecting a huge race as Olympic silver medalist Priscah Jeptoo took on world champion Edna Kiplagat and returning NYC Marathon champion Firehiwot Dado. Sixteen of the women had run under 2:27 and 11 under 2:24. More than half of the women's field were Olympians. Also Kiplagat and Jeptoo were vying for the world marathon majors title and the $500,000 check. It should have been an epic race.

Yet it was a marathon and as the gun went off two Ethiopians by way of the Bronx, Buzenesh Deba and her training partner Tiga Tufist immediately went to the lead. By two hundred meters they were clear of the pack. Deba has great credentials as she has won eight of the 12 marathons she has run and she was second in NYC in 2011. Her training partner is a total unknown who had a personal best of 2:40 and was not even listed in the 2013 official Media Guide. They passed mile one in 6:13 and mile two in 11:32, going up, and then down the span of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. No one in the following pack made a move to go with the leaders.

On the press truck we were startled to see the huge pack soon disappear from

our sight. These ladies were some of the best in the world but they passed 5K in a pedestrian 19:05 in comparison to the leader's 17:34 and 10K in 36:55 compared to the 34:44 up front. Why they were not racing I will never know. This is a huge and prestigious race which most had not had the opportunity to run the year before. Many had stated at press activities that they were here to make up for 2012 and to support the race with their return. That appeared not to be the case on this day!

Deba led the entire time with her partner parked directly behind her. I record splits at each mile and I was truly shocked to see Deba was running between 5:30 and 5:33 every mile. She was not wearing a watch and seemed to be in her comfort zone. Her miles never varied for the first 23 miles. Sean Hartnett, an expert in running physiology who has studied the sport for years and advises the top males on how to run a world record, later stated that it is smarter to utilize the downhills and reduce effort on the uphills to maximize your speed than to run such even splits and uneven effort. Since he has advised kilometer by kilometer for world record holders I think he knows what he is talking about. Of course world records are posted on flat courses not on the hills of NYC. Regardless Deba's pace never varied.

Deba was like a metronome. She got her fluids, shared them with her partner and kept on a 2:24 pace. Since she ran 2:23:21 in her last NYC finish, she appeared in total control. She had a plan and executed it from the start. Obviously she did not want a sprint to the finish as in 2011 when she and Dado caught Mary Keitany and then had a finish where she was second by six seconds. I have never witnessed such consistency especially without the feedback of a watch. It was fascinating to observe.

New York is Deba's city. She lives in the Bronx and she trains in Central Park.

Deba and her husband and coach, former elite runner Worku Beyi take the subway to the track and are often seen training in the city. Kelly Ripa recently remarked on her morning show "Live with Kelly and Michael" that she had seen Deba several times training in the park. Deba may be Ethiopian but she loves NYC and does not want to live anywhere else. The 26-yearold lives and breathes NYC. No where was that more evident as she entered the Bronx gapping Tufa and hearing loud cheering for the local girl. She had a few smiles but kept her relentless pace.

Although everyone will tell you this is not the way to run a marathon, it seemed that she might just pull it off. Around mile 22 I saw her grab at her stomach and that concerned me. The other concern was a slight figure looming in the distance. We could not identify her but she was in a different colored uniform and quickly passed the now struggling Tufa. It was not until mile 24 that we could identify Priscah Jeptoo. For one of the world's fastest marathoners Jeptoo has a highly unrthodox and painful running style. Her legs flay so far to the sides of her body that it appears that her legs could twist off. It is not pretty but it works for her as she was running sub 5:10 miles to overtake Deba.

At the post-race interview Jeptoo told the press gathered that one of the official bicyclists told her at half way that she was over three minutes behind the leaders. The largest lead was officially 3:24 but I think it was greater than that for a bit.

Jeptoo did the math and said she realized she was over a kilometer behind when she

began her hunt. She utilized her speed to run a few seconds over five minutes for the second half. Although Jeptoo also never varied her pace she caught Deba with less than a mile to go and dropped her immediately. Deba had led for 25 miles courageously and with obvious confidence. Whether the stomach issue or Jeptoo's speed made the difference it mattered not as Deba could not go with Jeptoo but held on for a solid second place finish. Her training partner finished in the top 10 with an 11-minute personal best.

Jeptoo, with her win also took home the World Marathon Majors title and the $500,000 check. This was in addition to her first place prize money and bonuses.

It was well worth her chasing Deba on her own.

Only in NYC could there have been such a strange scenario with the immensely talented field. It was certainly one of the strangest but I applaud Deba for her courage and bravery. She nearly pulled off the impossible but as the famous Ingrid Kristiansen once told me "to get a great reward you have to take a risk." Deba seemed very happy with her finish despite not pulling off her plan to total perfection.

Many congrats to New York City, the New York Road Runners and all the volunteers and workers. The world's largest marathon shone in all of it's glory and it was a day that made everyone proud!

Down the Road On The Running Bell Curve Happy New Year! A new year is a great time to think about the past and the future.

You know the curve don't you? It looks sort of like a bridge, with a long climb after you get on it, a peak, then a long descent downward before you get off it.

It is based on the 'normal distribution' of things -- originally intelligence. Since most people fall in the middle with outliers on each end -- thus the curve shape.

Some people say everything works using the Bell Curve example, so let's look at running and ride the curve as we think about where we are on it.

When you begin running/racing you usually are not very good or proficient, but when you began you jumped on the curve. Probably with low mileage and slow times.

As you run more and improve, you move up the curve. After some years of running you stop improving, i.e. you peak. Some studies have seemed to indicate that most runners can improve for about 10 years after they start running and racing. Of course that means serious time spent working on your running.

A person might run for 10 years and never run more than a mile or two and never run fast. They will not really be moving up the curve, just sort of running in place, no pun intended. Then if they decide they want to get serious about running in races and keep at it, their 10year clock -- and their climb up the running curve really begins. There is a caveat here. A 40-year-old person who has been running for years and decides to start hard running and training may improve for 10 years, but their running times and performances will never be what they would have been if they had decided to get serious and move up the curve when they were 20 years old. Age does matter for runners.

When a runner reaches his or her peak they make a discovery. You find that you really have to work hard just to stay there, and there comes a time when regardless of what you do or try, you will not make any gains or get better. Some runners grasp at straws, try dangerous over-training and end up injuring themselves. This is one of the ways we runners speed our descent down the back side of the curve.

Even barring mistakes or overdoing, eventually you -- and I mean you and me

By Cedric Jaggers

and every runner -- starts slowing down and/or running less and we begin to go down the curve. Nobody lives forever and nobody runs fast forever. We all ride the curve whether we realize it at the time or not.

What can we expect on the running bell curve? What can you do about it? It may be different for every runner, but there are some commonalities for all of us.

Beginning the curve. Runners should add mileage and speed gradually, and if a runner is carrying too much weight, he or should work to lose weight (yes, it is easier said than done for most of us). With less weight and more and faster running, you will inevitable move up the curve as you get stronger and faster.

Climbing the curve. Runners learn about the value of a mileage base. I remember building mine to about 70 miles a week when I was training for the New York City Marathon. We also learn that sometimes we can't maintain as much as we would like. After that marathon I realized I couldn't devote that much time to running every day and eventually settled into about 40 to 45 miles per week. But I was stronger on the run when I did more mileage, but too exhausted to enjoy the other parts of life, such as going out to eat, watching Sunday afternoon football (running 18 miles every Sunday took a lot of time) going to movies -- forget all that, there is only time for running when you do heavy duty mileage and have a job you have to work at five or six days a week.

Speed work. You can only run fast if you run fast. Sounds like a no brainer, but there is more to it. If you do too much speed work you will get injured. I know from personal experience, and that will delay your climb up the curve.

The peak of the curve. After you hit your peak, and you eventually will, how

do you maintain it? Carefully. We learn that we have to be more careful in our training. We trim a few miles, do fewer exhaustive speed work sessions. Cut down on races -- as we learn that it takes a day to recover for each mile that we run in a race at race pace. So caution and good sense can help us maintain our peak and stay near the top of our running bell curve.

How to descend the curve. Let's hope we can slow down and go down the curve with grace, but it is difficult. Over time you (and I) come to accept our slowdown regardless of anything or everything we try to prevent it. Some runners quit running and simple give up. They jump off the curve. Others continue to run but quit racing. Let's face it, running a race, if we really race it, is difficult. So as we decline in performance it becomes feasible to say to ourselves “Hey, it just isn't worth the effort since I won't run as fast as I used to anyway.” That is a sure way to speed up your descent.

But with grace and acceptance we can continue to enjoy the camaraderie, the joy, the crowds the spectacle of running in races and of running by ourselves or with friends in a causal daily celebration of maintaining our fitness and joie de vivre as the French would say. If we do that we can continue to run all the way to

11

the end, not just of our running bell curve, but of our lives, barring injury or debilitating illness.

Personally I think the best way to handle every aspect of life and running is to realize we are on the bell curve and make the most of it. You can never know what the future will hold. Just ask my wife Kathy; she never saw Multiple Sclerosis coming to end her ability to run. As some of you know our car accident in mid 2013 sure has put us and me particularly further down the running bell curve. So in a few words : Get it while you can.

Make the most of your trip up to the top of the curve and then down the curve as well.

Happy New Year to each and every one of you. Maybe we'll see each other running at a race or just running down the road as I slide slowly towards the end of the Bell Curve. We can and should all do everything we can to enjoy our running regardless of where we are 'on the curve'.

Natural State of Running

Arkansas races, plus award winners honored Arkansas Trail Running Series Short distance trail races are growing in popularity. Not everyone wants to run a 50K or more. DLT Events took this opportunity and created the Arkansas Trail Running Series (ATRS).

Arkansas is primed for trail runs and races. Our state parks are a good resource for beginners and experienced trail runners. It doesn’t stop there. We have other hidden gems scattered across the state.

The 2013-14 Arkansas Trail Running Series: Oct. 20 – Iron Mountain 5 and 10 mile races at Arkadelphia.

Nov. 16 – Race the Base 4 mile race at Pinnacle Mountain, Little Rock.

Dec. 21 – Bench Trail Run 3 mile race, Mount Nebo, Russellville.

Jan. 18, 2014 – Riverside Trail Run, 5 miles, Burns Park, Little Rock.

Feb. 8, 2014 – 90 Minutes at Cadron run, Cadron Settlement Park, Conway.

March 16, 2014, Spa City Trail Run, 5 miles, Cedar Glades Park, Hot Springs.

Race The Base was the second race in the ATRS. It was held at Pinnacle Mountain State Park for the second year. Arkansas Outside is known for their coverage of all things dealing with the Arkansas outdoors.

Their love for the outdoors isn’t limited to coverage or playing outside themselves.

By managing a race, they provide an environment that is fun for adults and kids.

The race is a total of 4 miles with the majority of the course being technical single track. There are short portions of gravel, dirt road, and paved trail. For the kids, a Kingfisher Kids half-mile Fun Run followed the race.

Just fewer than 140 people participated in the race. Christopher Dunbar (27:06) returned this year to successfully defend his title. Ryan Garvin (28:47) and Chet Howland (29:07) were second and third, respectively. Heather Ladd (34:34), Mary Struthers (36:30), and Tammy Hottinger (36:35) were the female winners.

Delta 5K Classic Not many races happen in the Arkansas Delta. Susan Hunt did not let that deter her from starting the Delta Classic 5K. For the first two years it was associated with the fall festival and held during the same time. This year, Susan decided to try something different by having it later in the year and in the afternoon. The race start and finish was near the Central Delta Depot Museum in downtown Brinkley.

Although a small race, it had big race hospitality. Bo Hornsby (22:41) and Melissa Gray (23:09) were the overall winners.

has signified the end of the Arkansas Grand Prix Series for many years.

Runners and walkers from across the state gathered to venture through the QuapawProspect Historic District. The route takes participants by Bathhouse Row, the Spa 5K/10K Arlington, and up and down West Hosted by the Spa Pacers, the Spa 10K Mountain, before finishing in front of the

Hot Springs Convention Center.

The 10K saw two familiar winners in the Grand Prix. Mark Ferguson (34:59) was the first male and Leah Thorvilson (36:14) was the first female. Both also won the Soaring Wings Half Marathon in late October. Chad Pekron (44:40) and Kim Eskola (55:00) were 10K Clydesdale and Athena winners.

A 5K is also done in conjunction with the 10K. Combing the finishers from both easily makes it the largest race in Hot Springs attracting nearly 1,000 participants. Mckree Martin (18:10) and Gosia Hightower (20:36) were overall male and female winners in the 5K Run. In the 5K Walk, Sharon Powell (35:56) and Timothy Hallett (37:05) were overall female and male winners.

Arkansas Grand Prix Wrap Up The season started with a state championship, the One Hour Track Run, on January 27 and it ended with one, the Spa 10K, on November 23. After 20 races that featured distances of one-mile, two-mile, 5K, four-mile, 8K, 10K, 15K, 20K, half marathon, and marathon, the final standings are as follows: Top 3 Male Teams Little Rock Roadrunners Club Melonvine Striders Arkansas Ultra Running Association Top 3 Female Teams Arkansas Ultra Running Association Conway Running Club Western Arkansas Runners Top 3 Overall Males Mark Ferguson Imari Dellimore Timothy Richard Top 3 Overall Females Jenny Wilkes Jennifer Harpel Leah Thorvilson The awards ceremony will be held after the River Trail 15K in February to officially recognize all of the Arkansas Grand Prix winners. Awards will be given for: Team, Overall, Master, Grand Master, Senior, and Age Group. Grand Prix Iron Runners, those that completed all 20 races, will be recognized as well. There have been 65 Iron Runners to date. It was at the Spa 10K that Eugene Atha completed his 100th consecutive Grand Prix race making him only the second person to do it along with Joe Milligan.

The Go!bbler What is Thanksgiving without turkey?

The same can be said for Thanksgiving without a turkey trot. Go! Running started the Go!bbler three years ago with the help from community partners. It’s not a race, but a time for everyone to get together and have a little fun while running.

Some come in costumes and others with their game faces as every run to them is a race. Santa Claus usually stops by posing for pictures and to provide holiday cheer.

There was no entry fee for the event, but it was highly encouraged to bring canned goods and non-perishable items to be donated to the Arkansas Foodbank. It seems that every year more is donated, which makes Gary and Erin of Go! Running happy.

With 3, 4, or 6.5 miles to choose from, there was something for everyone. This was not an ordinary fun run. There weren’t any bales of hay or logs of fire to jump over or mud pits to slosh through, but the course did provide something unique. The 3-mile option was the only stroller-friendly route. Those doing the other two distances would experience road, track, and trail. Situated in a hilly part of town, if someone wanted to make it a workout, it was doable.

Arkansas RRCA Awards Afterwards, everyone returned to the After the Spa 5K/10K, an awards cerestore to fellowship and socialize. The goal mony was held for the Arkansas RRCA Awards. Winners are nominated and was to collect 2,000 pounds of food. Over voted on by member clubs.

The Athlete’s Kitchen

Getting Older, Day by Day Experiencing the Food & Nutrition Expo at the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetic Association's annual convention is an eating adventure! Envision a huge expo hall filled with vendors offering tastes of their latest food and nutrition products. Several hours and many calories later, I emerged from the Expo with a sampling of items that can contribute to an effective sports diet. Here is brief snapshot of some of what I saw.

• Energy bars. For active people who eat on the run, energy bars can be a handy emergency food. While bars should not routinely be used as meal-replacements, they can certainly be a handy pre- and post-run snack. When looking for “the best” bars, choose ones that are made with wholesome ingredients that you recognize. For example: --KIND Bars. Their newest product, “Healthy Grains,” is similar in texture to a rice krispy treat. The Maple Pumpkin Seed KIND Bar contains five “super grains” (oats, millet, quinoa, amaranth and buckwheat) plus pumpkin seeds, honey and maple syrup. The end result: a tasty glutenfree source of whole grains that are “chewy with a crunch.”

• Zing Bars, created by two dietitians, offer a variety of 100 percent natural, gluten- and soy-free bars that are high in protein and fiber - and taste great. As all runners know, nutrition is only good if it gets into the tummy. Zing Bars do the job! * The NOW Bar is made with identifiable pieces of chopped cranberries, almonds, and peanuts that are stuck together with honey, apple juice concentrate and brown rice syrup. Although a bit sticky, they are tasty and also gluten-free (if that's your preference).

• Gluten-free snacks are the current rage.

In addition to the gluten-free bars mentioned above, check out “Mary's Gone Crackers.” My clients rave about these crispy, tasty, vegan, dairy-free, and wheatfree snacks. The Black Pepper variety contains brown rice, quinoa, flax, and sesame seeds. They have a rich, satisfying flavor that appeals even to wheat-eaters. Buyer beware: As with most gluten-free foods, they are more expensive than foods with gluten: $4.50/box; this comes to about $0.75 per 140-calorie serving. (In comparison, Wasa Crackers are about $0.50 for 140 calories.)

• Nut butters. Finally we can get peanut butter by the pouch instead of by the jar!

This makes it easier to toss into a gym bag

or pocketbook.

Both Justin's (www.Justins.com) and The Peanut Butter & Company (www.IlovePeanutbutter.com) offer “easy squeezy” pouches - in a variety of flavors. These peanut butter portions enable you to create satiating on-the-road snacks with PB and banana, crackers, or apple - to say nothing of the bagel you pick up on your way to the office. For weightconscious runners, nut butter in a pouch offers a controlled portion with 90- or 180calories (1 or 2 tablespoons). The good news is nuts are rich in vitamin E and health-protective fats - and nut-eaters are not fatter than nut-avoiders!

• Ice cream options: If you (and your kids) enjoy frozen desserts, take a look at Yonanas Healthy Dessert Maker (www.yonanas.com). For a treat that looks and tastes like soft-serve ice cream, simply toss into the kid-friendly Yonanas machine some frozen banana chunks and other frozen fruit as desired. Out comes “ice cream.” The key is to use well-ripened bananas with brown speckles. Speckles mean the banana is sweeter than an all-yellow or green banana. During the ripening process, the starch (complex carbohydrate) in the green banana converts into sugar (simple carbohydrate). Banana adds the creamy texture and takes on the flavor of the other add-ins. (Think maple walnut, blueberry, etc.) You can also make “sorbet” with just frozen fruit.

• Smashed fruit, such as PowerBar's Fruit Smooshie, is a moist alternative to dry energy bars. Mott's has a similar product. Their portable applesauce pouch offers 40 calories and no added sugar. Makes an easy-toswallow, energy-boosting option pre-run, preferable to a slow-to-chew bar. The pouches are heavier, however; their water content will add weight to a fuel belt.

• Dried fruit is making a big comeback, and certainly offers a healthier sugar-fix than candy. Prunes have been renamed as dried plums, to create a new image.

Running Journal • January 2014 SunSweet's PlumSweet (yogurt-covered dried plum pieces) offer a candy-like snack for today's eaters.

• Candy: While healthy food predominates at the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics Association's Food and Nutrition Expo, The National Candy Association is also there, offering a guide to moderate candy consumption, so you can treat your self (guilt-free) to one of life's little pleasures. Candy need not be consumed “all or nothing”! In case you have ever wondered what “moderation” means when it comes to eating candy, an acceptable intake is 50 to 100 calories per day. Here's what that looks like: 15 to 25 small jelly beans, one snack/fun-size candy bar, two to four strings of licorice, three to five pieces of hard candy, two bite-sized peanut butter cups, and chewing gum as desired. To stay within “moderation,” your best bet is to portion candy into little baggies.

If you prefer one weekly candy fix, limit your intake to 3/4 cup chocolate covered raisins, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 50 to 100 gummy bears, or one to two candy bars.

And it goes without saying, pineapple, raisins, dried plums, and dates offer sweetness with far more nutrients...

--Chocolate: While sugary candy can be an effective alternative to gels during long runs, a little dark chocolate afterwards can be a health-promoting snack. Numerous studies suggest people who include modest amounts of dark chocolate enjoy hearthealthy benefits such as lower blood pressure and reduced risk of death from heart disease. Obviously, you need to enjoy dark chocolate in the context of an overall healthy diet. A product marked 70 percent cocoa means 30 percent of the product is sugar and other ingredients...

• Vegetarian Resources: If you are looking for a blueprint for plant-based eating, Becoming Vegan by Brenda Davis RD is worth reading. Extensive, but easy to understand. Another helpful resource is the Vegetarian Resource Group's website, www.VRG.org. If you choose to eat no meat, you want to be sure you are still getting the nutrients you need for good health and top performance.

Choose your food wisely, enjoy it mindfully, and have fun with your high energy.

Running Journal • January 2014 the Sunset 6/12/14 Endurance Run is an event that has become the postThanksgiving go-to run. Some travel to Stuttgart for the Great Duck Race 5K/10K, but for those wanting and needing distance, Sunset Lake is the destination.

Sunset Lake is a one-mile paved loop in Benton. The name of the lake and race are perfect. Some runners started after sunset, some ran until sunset, and others enjoyed both variations. In the midst of the elapsed time, many milestones and achievements took place. Individuals put in beaucoup miles with many completing personal longs. There were 72 participants who completed 2,171.105 miles. That’s an average of 30 miles per person. That’s a lot of turkey burned off. Either guys were

thinking about getting home to watch football or the women were more ambitious because the top mile go-getters were all female.

Running Psychology Beating the Winter Blues Fall is a great time to run and this past fall your running went really well. You trained well, had some good races and you really enjoyed the cool weather, beautiful colors of the trees and even the first frosty morning. But now its winter, and for many runners winter can mean one of the most challenging times of the year, both physically and mentally. You indeed worked really hard in the fall and got really fit, but now the fall seems so far removed and your running motivation some mornings is as low as the mercury in the thermometer.

Remember how hard you have worked over the past year. But no matter how high your fitness level was, detraining will occur with inactivity. Just because you were once fit, it doesn't mean it will be any easier to get yourself back to that previous level of fitness if your allow your training to go by the wayside for weeks on end. Training wise, it really is

true that, “if you don't use it, you'll loose it.� Sure, winter does bring about unique training challenges that you normally don't face in the other seasons. It's cold, especially if you train in the early morning like me. Add in wind chill and things get even chillier. Darkness becomes a problem. You may have total darkness if you run in the morning or evening.

Negotiating uneven surfaces and motorists becomes a major safety concern. And of course, unless you live in the

Deep South or on the coast, frozen precipitation comes into play. Running in fresh snow can be a truly magical experience, but long periods of thaw by day, re-freeze by night can mean dangerous black ice, not to mention one of the south's biggest winter weather hazards, freezing rain.

Sometimes it's just hard to get out the door in winter. That warm sofa and hot chocolate make for a cozy day. But spring racing season is going to be here before you know it, so why not make a real commitment to not just maintain some level of fitness in the winter months, but actually improve your fitness. The winter months can be an invaluable time to lay an aerobic fitness base for the year to come. With few races being run in the winter you can focus on just training and not have to be concerned about adjusting your training around races. It's difficult to actually train hard and race in the same time period, due to the fact that you don't want to be overly fatigued for your races. So a solid winter of training will allow you to be at a much higher level of fitness early in the spring, which can actually be a big, big plus because it affords you the opportunity to decrease the volume of your training and focus more on quality race specific workouts earlier in your race season. In other words, with a solid winter base you don't need to play catch-up with your training once the weather improves.

Can you make a commitment to your training this winter? You can and the commitment can start right now! Sure, there will be some cold, dreary, rainy days in the next few months, but with good preparation you will be more than ready for the elements. Invest in some good outer wear, head gear, and gloves and you won't miss a beat. Strive to love the beauty of winter and all it has to offer. The feeding wild birds, bright blue skies, winter landscapes, a bright moon at night and fabulous sun rises and sunsets are just a few examples of the beauty to behold in winter training. Learn to love your winter running! There will be days with snow and ice that may make running nearly impossible, but even on those days do something to make yourself a better runner. Of course running on a treadmill is great, but also stationary bike work, extra stretching or core training can be very useful when you can't get outside. Of course, a day of rest on a really foul day is useful too, as long as it doesn't turn into weeks of rest.

The key is to be truly committed in the winter. When you look at the entire course of winter there are only a very few days

that are really horrible as far as the weather goes. The south is not exactly Siberia, even in the harshest winters. The commitment you make to winter training can do more than just improve your physical fitness; it can improve your mental toughness as well. If you really don't want to run there are a million excuses, even on summer days, so don't use “it's winter� as a rationalization tool for not training. Just like you do with other aspects of your running, embrace the challenge of winter training and use it to your advantage.

There are a number of ways you can reinforce your winter training commitment. First, set some specific goals for your training. It may be miles per week, total days run, or even a cross training program that can be done partially inside.

Set your goals so they will challenge you, but set them so they are realistically attainable. Write your goals down and display them somewhere you can see them each day. Discuss your winter training goals with your running partners and friends. Their social support can be invaluable in helping you stay on track through the winter. Also, be sure to keep a running log if you don't already do so.

Each day write a note on how you have done something to help you reach your winter training goal.

Many people do indeed get depressed and feel low in winter, and certainly this can lower motivation. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is real and it is theorized that lack of exposure to sunlight during the winter may be a major contributing factor. In the Scandinavian countries many buildings are equipped with broad spectrum lighting in order to combat the disorder due to the extreme darkness of the Artic winter. Running in winter can help ward off Seasonal Affective Disorder because you can spend more time out in the sun. Even if it's a couple miles during daylight, the exposure to the sunlight can brighten your mood. Just another reason to run in the winter!

So this winter turn a negative into a positive! Take the challenge to improve your running on these cold, dark days. Plant some seeds with your running this winter and you will reap the rewards in the spring and summer. Spring will be here before you know it, so train well.
