Many races, little time – how to choose?

The American Tobacco Trail that stretches more than 22 miles across three counties in central North Carolina starts out in an urban setting but quickly changes over into a woodsy, Robert Frost kind of place in its rural parts - lovely, dark and deep.

An old, abandoned rail bed, the trail has been taken over by the Rails-to-Trails conservancy and has become a haven for runners, bikers and nature lovers.

It is also the site of the Tobacco Road Marathon, a popular race, celebrating its fifth anniversary March 16.

Runners World recently counted this marathon among its Top 9 of the best new marathons that debuted since 2008. Citing the gently rolling terrain and perfect temperatures in the 40s and 50s that “cause personal bests to tumble,” the magazine calls the race start/finish line at the USA Baseball National Training Complex “the crown jewel of Cary's largest city park.”

A handful of area runners are receiving a prize for signing up to run the Tobacco Road Marathon for the fifth year in a row every single year the race has existed.

For two of them, the Tobacco Road Marathon is a sentimental journey. Five years ago, it was their very first marathon.

Kelvin Brodie, who lives in Durham, decided to train on the American Tobacco Trail after he made up his mind to start running.

The picturesque trail is close to his house and its beauty provides a stress free environment to keep him motivated.

“The first year of the Tobacco Road Marathon, four years ago, I thought maybe I could complete a marathon,” Brodie said.

“It wasn't a stressful race. It is close to home and I'm familiar with the course, so I convinced myself I could run 26.2 miles.”

Not only did Brodie conquer that first marathon, he's finished nine more since then, including New York City, and the Marine Corps. But he keeps on trucking along Tobacco Road like it's an old friend.

It's where he earned his 5:13 PR. It's where he connects with friends.

And it's starting to feel like a streak.

“It's sentimental now, and I guess I need to keep the streak alive,” he said.

Dave Cockman, a lifelong runner, got his marathon start that first year at Tobacco Road too. And on that day, he caught a running fever from which he has not recovered.

In fact, his temperature just keeps rising, and may be up to 110 degrees or higher by now.

He was heading out on a chilly and cloudy Saturday afternoon for a 20-miler when we talked on the phone.

Just five years after his first marathon, he's gone and turned himself into a full-

I conducted an informal Facebook poll of friends and learned the following criteria influence runners' decisions when it comes to choosing races to run: • Designated charities - we love to run for a good cause • Cost - race fees, travel expenses • Companionship - many of us love to run with friends for support, cost sharing, and fun • Course terrain - the hills, the flats, the roads, the trails - for many of us, the terrain is the most important thing • Scenery - some runners love the thrill of spectators, and others love the solitude of the woods. Whether we run through an urban landscape or along rural roads and trails, good scenery counts For me and a few others I heard from, a big factor in choosing races is cost. In the early days, running was touted as an inexpensive form of exercise, and in many ways it still is.

But registration fees for some races run high. Add travel costs and you're looking at an investment.

Running has turned into a cottage industry too, with marketers promoting all levels of gadgetry, jewelry, outfits, accessories, training programs, commercial road races, destination races, novelty races, sports nutrition, and a myriad of other temptations.

I run on a budget. I decide what I can afford to spend in the course of a year - for shoes, races, training, and travel costs. I look for races that are fun, involve my friends, and not too difficult. As a result, at the end of the year I don't have as many medals as many of my friends. And I don't have photos from exotic locations to show off. But I still have great memories and a handful of accomplishments to be proud of.

I consider a good local race with a strong charity a winning combination. It makes spending those hard earned dollars a lot easier when you know the money goes to a good cause.

The good news is, along with the proliferation of races comes many choices, from neighborhood 5k runs costing $15, to international marathons where you may spend thousands. You can experience the scenery you enjoy most. You can mix up the terrain or enjoy a variety of distance races. You can run for fun or compete.

In running one size doesn't have to fit all, and that's a beautiful thing.

blown ultra marathoner.

Last year, Cockman ran fourteen 100mile races, and in during the fall, he ran the storied Tuna Run, a 200-mile relay from Garner (just south of Raleigh) to Atlantic Beach, that often involves as many as a dozen runners per team who complete each of 36 legs.

Well, Cockman was a team unto himself, and ran the entire distance - all 200 miles.

This October, he plans to run all the way across North Carolina, from Murphy on the western, mountainous end of the state, to Manteo near the Outer Banks. The driving distance is 545 miles.

Cockman and Brodie are 56 years old, and both got their running starts during middle age, but Cockman is starting to notice younger runners among the ultra ranks, and they are blowing away records, he said.

According to the RunningUSA.org 2012 annual report, 54 percent of timed race finishers (for all races) in 2012 ranged in age from 25-44.

Further, the report notes that road races are at an all-time high, with 26,370 events logged for 2012. They include races ranging from 5k to marathons, without taking into account the mile-long sprints that are becoming popular, and those ultra marathons when 26.2 miles just isn't far enough.

How do you choose which races to run?

Aside from his sentimental favorites, Brodie loves the mega races. The crowds, the cheering and the pageantry of New York City and Marine Corps are motivational.

He has Chicago on his list for the future.

Cockman is in the 50-state club, and he's working his way around the country. He has run in 40 states so far. With 10 more states to conquer, he already has his eye on the seven continents.

He's turned on by well-organized races in beautiful parts of the country and loves running the Vermont 100, Western States, and most anywhere in North Carolina. He trains constantly, and is always on the look- Teri Saylor writes and runs (but not every out for a new challenge. day) in Raleigh, N.C.

Unsurprisingly and tellingly, 100 percent of the top races used USATF Certified courses. If a race doesn't ensure that it uses an accurate distance by using a certified course, it should not be considered a top race.

South Carolina’s Top & Largest Races of 2013 Do you like to compare the top and largest races in a state? Do you think the same ones are on both lists? Are the lists the same every year? Are the only races on the top list big races? Do you think bigger is always better? Do you know how big a race has to be to make the top 20 list in your state? What are the 20 most competitive races in your state?

Bill Marable, SC USATF representative and state record keeper, selects the top 20 races in South Carolina each year, as he says “based on the overall competitiveness of the runners.” I added the name of the city and the number of finishers to Bill's list of the top 20.

The only state where I can help out is the one where I live since I try to keep up with all the races in South Carolina. So I've compiled a list of the largest races in the state.

pretty much the same as last year: Yes, it is interesting to know what the top and largest races are in a state. So look at South Carolina's lists below. No, the top and largest races are not all the same. No, bigger does not always mean better: if you have run some big races and small races you learn that from experience.

To make the largest 20 races in SC the race had to have 1,133 finishers. The largest race in South Carolina is also one of the largest races in the country: the Cooper River Bridge Run 10K with 31,458 finishers last year.

Running in Georgia The Return of “The Goat” After an 18-year break the Mountain Goat officially returned to Lavendar Mountain on the Berry College Campus in Rome, GA. Contested in the early to mid 80s as an eight-mile event held on the third Thursday evening of August the event returned as a shortened 12K race held on the last Saturday of January.

The early editions of “The Goat” were official sanctioned events with an exorbitant entry fee of eight dollars and agegroup winners receiving a trophy with a 4-H club sheep on it because the local trophy shop didn't stock goat figures. Adam Pinkston of Macon covered the mountainous eight-mile course in the mid 42minute range to take home the first-place goat trophy ahead of 250 other contestants.

After the initial two editions of the race were held, sanctioning by Berry College was pulled for liability reasons, but “The Goat” refused to be put on the skewer. For the several years that followed, the faithful would gather at the cinder track at the

base of Lavendar Mountain on the appointed date and contest “The Goat.”

No entry fees were paid but the loosely organized event featured recycled awards in which every participant brought an item of limited or no value (ugly race Tshirt, bowling trophy, etc…) to be awarded at the end. No one went home empty handed or disappointed.

“The Goat” over time morphed into another local event -- the Hurtn' Gator 5 Mile Beach Run which maintained the same low key/no budget recycle event

Hurtn' Gator races during his days at Berry College. The first and second female finishers were 2012 grads Jenn Cook Stocks and Sara Walcott Morrison completing the distance in 52:11 and 53:12.

Looking down the list of finishers to this year's “Goat” revealed the brothers Brian (5th) and Kevin (10th) Brodrick from the Watkinsville area who were instrumental in getting other Berry alumni involved in the race. Georgia crosscountry coaches will recognize several more of the alumni that lined up in the arctic blast that morning as Andy Christie, James Tigue, and Shane Harris Sweet toed the line and did their best to rekindle memories of their competitive college days.

The first edition of the renewed version of “The Goat” is in the books with plans being made for next year. This one had all of the trimmings of a modern race with chip timing, a race clock, and awards to age groupers that would have baffled the founders of the event. With a little better weather maybe a few more of the alumni will come out to join those who haven't had the pleasure of experiencing “The Goat” full on.

until it was booted off campus and relocated at the Kingston Bay Resort where it will occasionally resurface depending on the tourist season.

During the next 15 or so years numerous members of the running community were introduced to “The Goat” as well as multitudes of Berry College runners who used the trail as the back bone of their base training. The current Berry College Coach, Paul Deaton, was introduced to “The Goat “as a prep runner from the Athens area in 1985. He never left and now serves as the director of the Mountain Goat 12K that saw just under 100 runners face “The Goat” on what was described as a perfect winter morning of 30 degrees and a howling wind.

He Said, She Said “What Do You Want Drivers to Know About Runners?”

Running can be rewarding, inspiring, challenging, and fun. It can also be vexing, unpredictable, dangerous, and deadly. The running community was recently confronted with this frightening reminder when Richmond Road Runners Club member, Meg Menzies, was killed during her morning run. It is unclear whether Dr. Michael Carlson was texting or reaching down to adjust his radio when he ran his car off the road and into the runner, wife, and mother of three. It is clear however, that his blood alcohol content was over the legal limit when the police arrived and recovered a bottle of beer from his vehicle.

The tragic event caused pause for runners around the world as they prepared to lace up and log miles in Meg Menzies' memory while shining light on the issues of drinking while driving, texting while driving, and the general safety of runners on the road. Close to 100,000 runners remembered Menzies when running on Saturday, January 18th.

Mixed with the myriad emotions, and questions of “why”, another question came to mind. “What do you want drivers to know about runners?”

Richmond Road Runners Club President, Michael Muldowney

He (Michael Muldowney) Said…

“I would want drivers (and I am one of them) to remember that runners, walkers and cyclists are sharing the roads with them,” Richmond Road Runners Club President, Michael Muldowney said.

“Runners need drivers to watch out for us - and in turn, runners need to be courteous and watch out for drivers,” the runner of

By Mary Marcia Brown

is celebrating its 35th birthday this year, said that “Richmond has [actually] become an outstanding place for runners, cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts.”

With additional consideration to the message he would relay to drivers Muldowney said, “I think we can all get where we need to if both drivers and runners are concerned for each other.”

She (Mary Marcia Brown) Said…

nearly a decade continued.

Muldowney thought about road safety as he was running 13 miles for Menzies on January 18th. He and a group of about 15 running friends gathered for a race that carried them through the historic downtown area of Charleston, South Carolina that weekend.

“I thought about running safely and that many runners are exposed to dangers every time they hit the roads,” Muldowney shared.

“I thought about Meg's family and how they might be dealing with her loss. I [also] thought about all the runners who were running in Meg's memory [that] day.”

Many of his running club's near 2500 members were among those running for Menzies.

“This tragedy has mobilized many club members to both run for Meg and to help raise money for her family as they deal with her loss,” Muldowney said. “I've been touched by the outpouring of support for Meg in the aftermath of the accident - from our club members and nationally.”

Muldowney, who likes to run for what he calls “the 3 Fs - fitness, friendship and fun”, was recently named Club President in December of 2013. He has many goals as Club President and many areas that he and his executive team hope to address as they work to make the club “better than when [they] started.”

As far as helping runners to be safer on the roads they share with cyclists, drivers, and other pedestrians, Muldowney offered some helpful advice.

“First off, we can't take anything for granted. Runners should consider safety before and during their runs. We need to be very careful and pay specific attention when running in traffic or at intersections.

Runners should wear reflective gear and lamps/lights when running in the dusk and dark. I think I'll be doing more of my city running on roads with sidewalks and on roads with much lower car traffic on them,” he said.

Despite the recent tragedy, the President of the Richmond Road Runners Club which

Four days of each week, I am fortunate enough to run around a beautiful lake that affords the luxury of a paved pedestrian walkway almost three miles long. I share the partially shaded, winding path with walkers, fellow runners, occasional skate board riders, roller bladers, and my favorite - the fascinating flocks of feathered friends from avocets, to blue herons, to waddling overweight ducks. Comfortably cushioned between the lake and the bicyclist lane that separates the path from the road, one would think that, except for the sight of alligators that sometimes surface to sun themselves on the lake's shoreline, the Lake Hollingsworth path probably presents little of an alarming nature. Sadly, that simply is not true.

Each run, I witness drivers complete annihilate the posted 30 mph speed limit with racing momentum that could challenge Jeff Gordon. I am reminded of the classic 80s arcade game, Frogger, as I watch college students and other residential pedestrians attempt to move safely and swiftly across the street before a heedless incubus bounds around a curb completely incognizant (or uncaring) of a safe driving speed and others' presence.

The week before Menzies' life was claimed by a careless driver, I was completing mile 5 of my day's 8.5-mile run. A burgundy car approached the curve alongside where I ran without ever turning the wheel or decreasing his excessive speed. I gasped and then screamed as, in an instance, he crossed the center line and opposite lane, plowed down the shrubs trimming a home's front yard, and ran over and cracked the wooden “For Sale” sign on the lawn before crashing into more shrubs and a cement wall that separated the home's side lawn from their neighbor's.

I momentarily froze as I watched the cloud of smoke float from the hood of the car, accompanied by hissing air that spewed from the same vicinity. I ran across the street to see if the driver was alright. The home owner rushed from his front door at the same time arriving at the driver's door a

second before I did. I was relieved for his presence, as I was suddenly scared of what might await me on the other side of the car's tinted window. The driver's car radio music shook my already shaken state with a heavy bass that blared from inside the crushed metal capsule. The home owner opened the car door to reveal a deployed air bag and a moaning middle-aged man who slowly collapsed to the ground, head first before squirming completely to the grass and assuming a fetal position. Objects fell from inside his car to the ground beside where his curled body lay clueless to the question constantly repeated “Sir, are you alright?”

Within mere moments, several cars had stopped and a resident had called an ambulance for help. Sirens sounding in the distance cued me to return to my run that was quickly condensed to six miles. During that last mile, I could not quite comprehend how quickly everything had happened. I could not help but think about what would have happened if the driver had suddenly realized he had crossed the center line and jerked the steering wheel to return to my side of the street. I could not help but feel angry, sad, scared, relieved, compassionate, and confused - all in the same instance.

Anger, however, surfaced more strongly than any other emotion, and it was not limited to the driver who was carried away on a stretcher. I was angry at; the drivers I see staring at their cell phones and texting while behind the wheel, the cars that constantly speed around the lake, and the law enforcement officers who do little to enforce the traffic law. I was angry at the policemen who join the speeders, the cars that creep into the bicycle lane, and the drivers that make right-hand turns without ever looking for pedestrians on their right. I was angry at the runners who run with traffic and the cyclists who ride against it. I was angry at the people who do not curb their dogs and who risk their pets' lives and the safety of others by walking them without a leash.

I found myself wanting drivers to receive the same simple message as everyone else.

Be awake - be aware - and be respectful of the people and surroundings who move in the same moments and in the shared air that nurtures life. The valuable breaths we are afforded are too precious and too few to be shortened by abandoned common courtesy, decency, responsibility and sense.

Running Psychology The Mental Maximization of Training It's a given that training is critically important to running performance. No matter how much genetic physiological talent you may have, if you don't train then you're not going to perform up to your physiological potential. All training is about working to maximize your potential and perform well, no matter what the competitive circumstances.

Many runners go out and run everyday, but I often wonder how many of them actually train, and for those that do train, just how many get the most benefit from each of their workouts.

Far too often runners look at mental and physical training separately and this disconnect is usually most evident during training. Sure, you go out and run your workout, but how much mental focus do you put into it? To get the most out of your workouts physically, you must put a lot into them mentally as well. It's very difficult to just “flip the switch” on race day and suddenly do things mentally different than you did them in training. You need to train your mental skills just as you do your physical ones.

It's very important to prepare yourself mentally for great training every time you go out, even if it's just for a short, easy recovery run. Let's take a look at some things you can do mentally to be sure you get the most out of each of your training sessions, whether that means three runs a week or 14 runs a week.

First, always have a goal for each training session. Every run should have some meaning no matter the pace or distance of the run. Every training session should have a purpose! A hard interval workout will serve to build lactic acid tolerance and mental toughness. A light recovery run is just that: recovery. Even a day off should serve the specific purpose of rest and recovery. Each day set a specific goal for that day's run. Write the goal on a small piece of paper and look at it often as a reminder of just what you are looking to accomplish that day. That one reminder may help you to run harder on your hard days and actually run at a recovery pace on your easy days! The goal may be as simple as just running easy and enjoying the scenery to clear your mind. And always remember, running should be fun, so make that a daily

goal.

To get the most out of any workout you must be excited about it. Remind yourself that each workout is a stepping-stone to a great performance in a race. Never look at a workout as a chore. All workouts are a chance to get better. Visualize yourself running well and having fun! How you think can greatly effect how you feel, so think positive, exciting things about your workout and you will enhance the chances of a positive, exciting workout occurring.

To help get you enthused and focused for your workout, be sure to develop some type of pre-workout routine. Preevent routines can help any runner better prepare mentally for upcoming events.

Your pre-workout routine should be triggered by a time or particular activity before the workout. Maybe it's putting on your running shoes or starting your warm-up routine or stretching. Whatever the trigger is, use it as a signal to clear your mind and put other things, like job, relationships etc. on the back burner and focus on what you are about to do in your workout. Visualize what you want to happen in your run and get yourself mentally ready to go out and do it.

Once your workout actually begins, it's time to genuinely commit to what you had planned. Remind yourself of the purpose of the workout and stick with it. If you are supposed to be doing a recovery run, then don't go out and blaze the run just because you feel pretty good. On the other hand, if you're supposed to do a hard tempo run, commit to running hard, not just simply coasting along in your comfort zone. Know the purpose of each workout you run and then fully commit to following through on that purpose.

Of course, running is a very, very

unpredictable sport. In a nutshell, you have got to expect the unexpected. In races you will encounter bad weather, horribly hilly courses, poor footing, start time delays, illness, not feeling great and even nagging problems like sore toenails or blisters. Sure, you can tell yourself that these things won't happen to you, but the fact is not being prepared for adversity will make it worse. Learn to train with adversity. Don't shy away from going out on that 35-degree day in the rain. Run the hilliest, toughest course you can find. On those days when you just don't feel real great, remind yourself of your goal and keep focused on the purpose of the workout. Learn to use adversity to your advantage. Then when other runners are complaining about things you will simply reply, “bring it on”! Learn to turn a negative into a positive, both in training and in racing.

Finally, be confident in your workouts and you will be more confident in your races. Each day in training try and think positive and energizing thoughts that will make your workout more beneficial. Try to eliminate negative, irrational self-talk that drains confidence and increases anxiety. Also, visualize success as you train.

Use imagery during training to help you

7

actually experience what you want to happen in the big race you're training for.

See and feel yourself running in the race you're training for. Remember that good runners see what they want to happen, not what they're afraid might happen.

No matter how much physical talent you have, you're not just suddenly going to become a great runner. To get the absolute most out of your potential, quality training is truly the key to success. No, every training session is not always going to be great, but by making the decision to maximize each and every session you will be that much closer to a great race performance. By committing yourself to quality preparation means you will get totally involved in the process of preparation and the better the preparation, the better the race result. Once you prepare your best there is nothing left do in the race but trust yourself and run your best on your big day.

Women’s Running A Different Approach to Running Problems This past September when I decided to run a marathon a month after turning 65, I realized that I had to get my heel well.

After my last marathon in February of 2013, I found I was having pain in my heel bone. I could run with the discomfort but it bothered me after a race or long run. When I went to the Gate River Run last March, the race director asked me why I was limping. My typical runner response was I am not really limping just tired from driving all day. Actually my heel was stiff but I kept running.

My massage therapist who I see weekly tried all her magic on the heel but there was no obvious problem. It was not plantar fascitis, a heel spur, achilles tendon, or a stress fracture. It was not painful but got stiff and uncomfortable after long runs.

Also it bothered me at night. But knowing it is best never to run a marathon with a problem I was truly at a loss. I wanted it better. My massage therapist was stymied.

At this point my massage therapist employed an acupuncturist and herbalist. Sarah King is a certified and licensed practitioner who has a masters of science in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She was classically trained at Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts in Asheville, NC. Many of my elite running friends have utilized acupuncture successfully so I decided to give it a try and made an appointment.

At my first appointment in mid September Sarah spent nearly 30 minutes taking a thorough health history. She listened carefully to my answers and took notes continuously. Then she took my pulses and checked my tongue and other areas of my body. It has been a very long time since I had such a personal health assessment. Sarah explained everything she planned to do very thoroughly and answered all of my questions. After evaluating my complaint, which was only the heel, she began working her magic.

Sarah takes a holistic approach to treatment and is passionate about classical Chinese medicine, with a focus on treating the person, not the symptom. In addition to acupuncture, Sarah is experienced in the application of moxibustion, tuina, cupping, guasha, herbal therapy, and essential oils. She has a long list of disorders that can greatly benefit from her treatments.

She explained what she thought was the cause of my heel pain.

It was a reaction from my deficient left kidney. She has found that high mileage runners often have deficiencies in their kidney functions partially due to the continual jarring of the kidneys when we run and also to nutritional deficits. She encouraged me to eat more beef and lamb, make and drink bone broth and make and eat congee ( this is a Chinese rice concoction).

She asked that I continue to eat more dark greens and drink raw goat milk after I run. She also prepared me a lavender based essential oil mixture and put me on two Chinese teas to nourish my kidneys.

Then she began the acupuncture treatment. She inserted approximately 12 needles in the heel area and in my back.

Although a few of the insertions were mildly uncomfortable, the entire experience was not at all painful. She also did some moxibustion using Chinese moxi sticks. This gave me an incredible warming sensation in my back. It amazed me how connected the needles in my heel radiated to my back. I felt an incredible warmth suffuse my lower left back down to my toes.

The most amazing thing happened after a 30-minute treatment. My heel felt completely normal. There was no more discomfort nor has there been since my first treatment. I must admit a bit of skepticism and kept waiting for it to return but that has never happened. I applied the oil before and after each run and had a treatment in November and January. My kidneys still need nourishing and I had some lower back discomfort. In fact I had a major reaction to the treatment several days later when I had to stop a run due to very bad back spasms. I was

visiting a friend and when I got back from my run, which turned into a By slow walk, I showed my hus- Carolyn Mather, band where the RN, PhD. pain was and my friend immediately wanted me to go see her urologist as she was sure that was my kidney. Steve and I both laughed as we knew it was my kidney. Of course we then had to explain what I had been doing days before.

I phoned Sarah and she told me that I had a massive reaction to the treatment. She had not thought that I would have a major systemic adjustment so quickly or so harshly but she said it sometimes happens. I ran the next day with no further problem.

Sarah continues to treat my kidneys as they are still not fully nourished. It will take time and she monitors me every few weeks. My left kidney wants to give me some grief periodically but I have changed my diet and am taking some Chinese herbs. The heel pain has never returned despite the fact that I have now completed two of my 12 marathons. Sarah explains the forces which govern the body and how the Yin and Yang must be balanced.

I have always been a supporter of alternative medicine and I certainly endorse the holistic approach. Sarah has been working at my massage therapist's shop one day a week for five months and she has gained a regular group of clients. She has helped folks with severe allergies,headaches, arthritis, hypertension, irritable bowel, insomnia and a variety of other disorders. She has worked relative miracles for many. I for one am so happy to have no more heel pain after seven months of no relief.

If you are not getting results from conventional medicine or you just want to try a new modality, I highly recommend acupuncture and oriental medicine. You will be surprised how much a good practitioner can glean from your pulses and various reactions in your body. They are trained to take an entirely different perspective in examining and assessing your body. I will continue to see Sarah every six weeks or so and adjust my diet accordingly to get my kidneys fully nourished. Her fee is less than a visit to the doctor and the Chinese herbs are quite reasonable. Even my massage therapist sees her regularly and has gotten rid of the shoulder pain and arthritic symptoms she was having in her hands.

As runners we do deplete various systems and they can be fixed with the right solutions. I know my Western medicine practitioners would never have considered my kidneys as the source of my problem. I urge you to always look to various modalities to keep yourself healthy and running pain free. My massage therapist and my acupuncturist are keeping this 65 year old still able to do those 100-mile -plus weeks. And because I am now a Medicare recipient I get free fitness facility use so I am doing pilates and yoga classes twice a week. We may slow down as we age but we can still keep going and learning. I am healthy and happy and that is what life is all about.

Happy running!

Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

By Mike “Barnburner” Walsh Not long ago I ran into an old running buddy at the airport, and even at first glance it was clear he'd put on some weight, Now this was a guy that in his prime even wore a mid-rift-cut tri shirt to a group run (several of us are still mentally scarred from the sight). But the man could pull it off at the time.

So I ask him what's up, and he says more or less: “Well, I quit running. It all just got to be too much. The long runs. Time away from the kids. The money. Injuries. I finally just put running on the shelf ”.

Wow, that was sad to see. I knew how much he loved running and enjoyed his running group. And he wasn't the first or last to tell me a story like that.

How do folks end up like this?

“Well I'm running down the road, Tryin' to loosen my load, Got a world of trouble on my mind” The Eagles The Dude: “I hate the &#%@in' Eagles man.”

The Big Lebowski It all starts innocent enough. You do a 5K, you have some fun, you decide to maybe train for a longer distance. Start paying attention to diet. Buy some accessories. Buy some more. Get a coach. Start monitoring your sleep patterns. Join an advanced training group. Start three new cross-training hobbies. Order scientifically designed nutrition products over the web. Listen to running podcasts in your car…. And on it goes - and it's all good, don't get me wrong.

But next thing you know, it's too much and you are raising your own herd of heritage-strain, organic goats to make sure you get clean dairy. You're worried about the fact that your oxygen saturation number is off 0.2% this morning, and stressing out about that upcoming ultra that's only a week after your half-Ironman. And then you start freaking out because you can

only find gels with 70%/30% sucrose/maltodextrin ratio instead of the 60%/40% you use for ultras.

It's no fun anymore. You're tired. Hurt.

Stressed. And you can't get off the hamster wheel.

What do you do?

You quit.

Yes, you quit. Quit early, quit often.

That's what I say.

I mean heck, George Jones probably quit drinking a hundred times in his life. And hey, he lived to the age of 82. So, there's gotta be something to quitting.

Quit the speedwork. Lots of runners have won championships by just running. And face it, most of us aren't winning championships. We're lucky if we continue to beat ourselves, and one day that comes to an end for most of us too.

Quit watching the diet. We've got an ultrarunner in our midst that has done fine eating Twinkies.

Heck, quit running entirely. Go do something else for awhile. Go ride your bike with the kids. Play tennis with your spouse or a friend. Go really NUTS and try your hand at kite-flying or fishing.

“I ain't as good as I once was_but I'm as good once as I ever was” Toby Keith I've been at this a bit over a dozen years now, and in that time completing a number of marathons and ultras that most people would consider either impressive or stupid. If there was an opportunity for burnout (or insanity), my running resume would probably put me in pretty strong contention for it.

I never expected burnout to happen, but sure enough, it caught me. You figure you are immune to it after 10++ years, that if you were going to get sick of it, you'd have gotten sick of it long before.

But, it's like a disease that sneaks up on you. And it's better to deal with it, and get

it over with rather than letting that cancer eat away at you.

So, that's the secret: the sooner you quit, the sooner you can un-quit.

I think I quit for about 3 weeks. And then I got the desire to go run that favorite trail.

Nothing crazy, just a few miles -- and not make a habit of it. Show up to that North Carolina Road Runners Club (NCRC) social run. Maybe go back to that race that I've always enjoyed.

Next thing you know, I find myself at the half/full marathon course split at Myrtle Beach, undertrained, but not quite feeling like my running day is over. So, I took the road less traveled that day, and didn't look back. Even managed to squeak out a 4:05 and had a heck of a time doing it.

Joel Goodson: You know, Bill, there's one thing I learned in all my years.

Sometimes you just gotta say, “What the &#%@, make your move.”

Rutherford: I beg your pardon?

Risky Business So, there you have it. Really, don't be afraid to take a step back. Quit early, quit often. And don't forget to come back and see us when you are done quitting.

Masters Running

In it for the Long Run Running can get tougher as we grow older. Our pace slows and we are more prone to injuries. Our race times also get slower, and it is easy to get discouraged.

We spend more time than we used to going the same distance during training runs. Yet it feels like we run as fast as we did 20 years ago!

But running can also become easier as we age, or at least more relaxed. We don't feel as pressured to perform well in races.

Often we are content just to finish, or maybe win an age group award. Some have stopped racing altogether, and run just for enjoyment and exercise.

Several of us still run marathons or half marathons though. But it is often more about quantity than quality. Maybe we want to run one in every state, or one every week. Some of us have even taken up ultra running, i.e. run distances longer than 26.2 miles.

As I mentioned in last month's column, I have emerged from a 10-year hiatus from marathon training, for one more attempt at the 26.2 mile distance. I have become re-acquainted with those mega long runs that every marathoner puts in the bank before their events. Some of you probably enjoy these long runs, especially if you have a group of peers to run with.

But they can also be hard to fit into a busy schedule, and boredom can be a challenge sometimes. Especially as we grow older and need more time to cover our target distance.

Becoming physically able to complete 15 to 20 mile training runs is the easy part, provided we are reasonably fit. The main obstacles standing in between us and getting the long runs done are usually mental and logistical. For the rest of this column I will focus on how to get ready for marathons and longer races, even if we are not spring chickens anymore and need four to five hours, maybe more, to complete a marathon. I may not be the most experienced marathoner, at least not in recent years. But I have learned quite a few things in the past couple of months, both about myself and about long runs in general. Especially how things are different for a three hour versus a five hour marathoner!

Thirty years ago my long runs were fun, in their own quirky way. They were an

integral part of my training for something I perceived as big and important, like running the Boston Marathon. I was capable of running a marathon in under three hours then, and rarely spent more than two and a half hours on a training run. I made sure I had water stops on my route, but needed no other fuel or gadgets. I could get my long run done during part of a morning, and had the remainder of the day to rest up or do other things.

Recently I spent three hours and forty minutes completing a 20-mile run. I took a one minute walking break every seven minutes (more about this later), and even on the running portion my pace was slower than ten minutes per mile. I had to take a break in the middle to re-fill water, go to the bathroom, and eat a banana. I also consumed two gel packs during my run.

The temperature stayed fairly constant the entire time, but on a day when it warmed up quickly I would also have had to shed some clothes. I chose to run from home and on neighborhood streets, since trails were still icy and treacherous from a recent snow event. But had I picked a different starting point, I would have had to choose one with “facilities” for a run of this duration. I am mentioning the above to emphasize that there are logistical issues to reckon with each time we set out for a long run, and we need to have a plan in place to handle them.

In many locations there are groups that get together for long runs, some groups more “formal” than others. The one thing they tend to have in common is that they start quite early. As long as we are willing to set our alarm for long before dawn, joining a group can be a motivator to get those long runs in! Time will definitely pass faster when we have company on our run, and organizers of these group runs

will usually have the logistical issues (water, bathrooms, parking) figured out.

I considered joining a local Galloway group for my marathon training. The reasons I decided against it were that I would miss several runs because of other obligations, and my goal race was too early in the season. So I was left on my own devices to figure out how to get my long runs in.

For me the hardest part is not logistics though, but fighting boredom and monotony. Don't get me wrong -- I love running!

But three hours or more of continuous running can sometimes become too much of a good thing. Especially if I'm running alone, on a course I have done several times before.

This is the main reason I chose to take walking breaks during my long runs when I do them alone. I “borrowed” the concept from the Galloway program, a very popular marathon and half marathon training program for beginner and intermediate runners. After running for five to seven minutes, I walk for one minute. This breaks my run up into smaller chunks, and I can think of it as several shorter runs instead of one seemingly never ending run. For example, five sets of running for seven minutes and walking for one minute add up to 40 minutes. And five of these “40 minute runs” become a 3 hour and 20 minute run! It gives me a huge mental boost to think of my long runs this way.

It can also be easier on the body to occasionally slow down to a walk when we are running for several hours. This is why the Galloway program, which includes walking breaks as an integral part, has been so successful among beginner marathoners.

Older runners can also benefit and enjoy a lower risk of overuse injuries.

But we may not need walking breaks every time we run long, and experienced marathoners may not need them at all. I did an 18-mile run with a friend and fellow marathoner the other week, at a pace similar to what I do on my own. We ran for over three hours and did not take any walking breaks. (Although we took one longer break for fuel and water.) This is how I realized that what I really need during my long run is some type of mental stimulation -- anything that helps me keep going for hours. It doesn't have to be

walking breaks. Having a friend to talk to works equally well, if not better!

I also vary the course I run, and only do a long run of 15 miles or more every other week. For an elite runner or potential Boston qualifier this may not be enough, but if you are “in it to finish” and start building up months in advance, it should be sufficient. Then you can spend your alternate weekends traveling, with family, or on other favorite pursuits -- and you can both train for a marathon and have life!

I want to throw in a word of caution though: Some runners chose to run with an iPod or other listening device, which can also make a long run more entertaining. But headphones can be a safety hazard, as we may not hear cars or attackers (canine or human) approaching us when we are wearing them. This is why the RRCA recommends that we leave our headphones at home. Or at least that we take one earbud out if we cannot imagine running without listening to our favorite books or music.

In spite of that my long runs can be time consuming, monotonous and a logistical challenge, they have grown to be part of me. And I have learned to enjoy them!

Completing a long run is certainly more of a mental than physical struggle, especially now when I'm so much slower than in my younger days. But the sense of accomplishment I feel afterwards makes it worth all the effort. So maybe my friends who run marathons “all the time” and those who run ultras aren't that crazy after all!

My ultimate test will come about a month after this writing, when I toe a marathon starting line for the first time in ten years. I am confident that my current training and renewed mental toughness will get me to the finish line. And if I have inspired some of my readers to attempt or revisit the marathon, it will be the icing on the cake!

Learning from the Young Guns Mental Approach to the Marathon The anxiety of an approaching race can affect your performance and be difficult to manage, especially when it comes to the marathon. The marathon is a one shot deal that you've (hopefully) put months into preparing for. If it doesn't go well you will likely have to wait a while before attempting another. If you're thinking, “I was fine until I started reading this article. I'm putting this thing down,� don't! Having a structured plan and taking time to mentally prepare yourself can help eliminate pre-race anxiety, but these tools also put you in a position to run your best on race day. Whether you're racing in two weeks or two months, it's never too late to start thinking about your approach to the race.

The best piece of advice I can give people to calm their nerves heading into a big race is to understand that by the time you step on the line 98 percent of the race is already run. If you've arrived to the start line prepared you've already done all the heavy lifting. (If you haven't, well‌ start slow.) Getting up early to run during the week, putting in an 18-miler on the treadmill because nobody can run outside this winter, icing your legs after a workout -- that's the hard work. The race is gravy, an opportunity to reap the rewards of all the hard work you've put in. Remember, it's just a foot race, don't make it rocket science. Control the controllables, everything else is a distraction.

I am always amazed how much time and energy people spend worrying about things outside their control -- the weather, how fast their running buddy goes out, the course. Prepare for the things you can control and don't worry about the rest.

You'll sleep more soundly the night before the race and perform better.

A hand me down lesson I learned from the late exercise psychologist and ZAP Fitness co-founder Andy Palmer is to have a plan, but make it flexible. What if it's hot? What if I start too fast? What if I start too slow? What if I miss a water station? What if my pace group starts too fast? It's important to have a plan, but in most races things don't go perfectly and you should be prepared for that. One bad mile isn't going to ruin your race, but string a few together and you're in trou-

ble. Whether you run a mile too fast or too slow, don't panic, just get back on track from that point. Panicking and trying to immediately make up for lost time is the worst move you can make.

Dramatic movement in a marathon is the equivalent of alternately stomping on the gas pedal and brake, a poor move in a 26.2 mile race where fuel economy is paramount.

As you structure your race plan, break it up into four chunks. The first five miles should be the “warm-up.� For those outside elite athlete territory you don't really need to run a warm-up beforehand, outside of your walk to the start line. Use the first couple of miles to ease yourself into the race, targeting 15-20 seconds per mile slower than your goal pace and working up to your target pace by mile five. This will help you be more comfortable in the early miles and keep you from letting your nerves take over and starting too fast. Starting slower will make you 30-90 seconds slower than goal pace at halfway. You should aim for a negative split in the marathon. This takes confidence to execute, but will leave you in much better position to finish strong and avoid riding that fine line throughout the race where you are more likely to run into problems. Give yourself some leeway early and you'll dramatically increase the odds of having a great race.

Going out faster than your goal pace markedly decreases your margin for error and increases your chances of trouble late. The best runners in the world do this consistently; take a page from their book.

The second chunk of the race is “the setup.� Through this section focus on keeping your pace even and your body relaxed. This part of the race sets up the final 10 miles where the race is really won. You can't win the race from miles 5-

15, but you can sure lose it. Think about getting to mile 15 where you need to as easily as possible. This is the time to set your body on cruise control, stay relaxed and be energy efficient - Prius mode. You are setting yourself up for success later in the race. The next chunk is where the race really starts and where you shift your focus to race mode. From miles 1520 you want to remain relaxed, but if you're feeling good start moving forward a little bit. It takes a lot of focus to be engaged here, so save your mental energy for this part of the race.

The final chunk of the race is the last 10K is where you can forget about the watch and focus on running hard -- time for Ferrari mode. Break this section into small pieces and avoid focusing on the last 10K all at once. Focusing on the entirety of the race is an overwhelming thought, especially when it feels like getting through four more minutes, let alone four more miles, would be a monumental feat. Break it into small increments, a few minutes, passing the guy you've been tracking for 12 miles, the right hand turn ahead, whatever it is, but focus only on that task at that time. You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish when you narrow your focus. Think about keeping your repetition of foot strike high and maintaining your composure in your upper body. This is going to be hard, embrace that, and know that it'll be worth it when you cross that line at the end.

Preparation is the race -- the time on the course is your victory lap, enjoy it!

The Athlete’s Kitchen

FEEL STRONG!

Caffeine: Performance Enhancement in a Mug Whether you are looking for a hit, boost, pleasing stimulant, or excuse to socialize with your friends, coffee is the go-to beverage for many runners. Coffee-drinkers enjoy the way a cup of morning brew enhances their feelings of well-being and their ability to accomplish daily tasks. An estimated 80 percent of us drink coffee daily. Why, we are more likely to drink coffee than eat fruit! Thank goodness moderate coffee intake is typically not associated with health risks.

For runners, caffeine is a proven performance enhancer. In their new book Caffeine for Sports Performance, sports dietitians Louise Burke and Ben Desbrow and exercise physiologist Lawrence Spriet address all-things-caffeine that a runner might want to know. Here are just a few tidbits that I gleaned from this comprehensive resource. Perhaps the information will help you add a little bit of zip to your workouts.

Note: No amount of caffeine will compensate for a lousy diet. If you choose to use caffeinated products to enhance your sports performance, make sure you are also fueling wisely!

• A cup of pre-exercise coffee can help most runners work harder --without realizing it.

Caffeine has been shown to enhance performance by about 1 percent to 3 percent, particularly in endurance sports. For example, cyclists who consumed caffeine prior to a 24-mile (40km) time-trial generated 3.5 percent more power than when they did the ride without caffeine.

• Runners vary in their responsiveness to caffeine, from highly effective to negative.

Some of the side effects associated with too much caffeine include higher heart rate, anxiety, “coffee stomach,” irritability, and insomnia.

• The recommended performance-enhancing dose of caffeine is about 1.5 mg/lb (3 mg/kg) body weight. This can be consumed one hour before you run, and/or during a long run (such as a caffeinated gel or defizzed cola every hour). For example, triathletes commonly consume caffeinated gels before each segment, to distribute the caffeine throughout the event rather than have a big pre-race jolt that might make them feel shaky and unable to concentrate. Some runners delay caffeine intake until fatigue starts to appear, and then they ingest 0.5-1 mg/lb (1-2 mg/kg) body weight.

• Caffeine's ergogenic effect maxes out at about 200 to 250 mg caffeine. (This is much less than previously recommended.) More is not better. Experiment during training to learn what amount (if any) works best for your body!

• Because the amount of caffeine in coffee and tea varies, elite runners commonly use caffeine pills or commercial products to ensure the desired intake. A comparison of the caffeine content in 16 ounces of coffee from 20 coffee venders ranged from about 60 to 260 mg. Even when the researchers purchased the same brand of coffee (Starbucks Breakfast Blend) from the same location on six consecutive days, the caffeine content ranged from

By Nancy Clark, M.S., R.D.

about 260 to 565 milligrams per 16 ounces.

• Research suggests the caffeine content of espresso also varies. A customer might get served 0.5 to 3.0 ounces of espresso (depending on the barista's generosity) with a caffeine range of 25 to 214 mg. In general, the larger venders (such as Starbucks) offer a more consistent product. But this means you don't know what you will be getting if you plan to purchase a pre-race espresso or coffee.

• Energy drinks are a popular source of caffeine. A study of 500 college students in North Carolina reports 51 percent drank at least one energy drink in an average month in the semester. Sixty-seven percent used the energy drink to stay awake; 65 percent to increase energy; and 54 percent to drink with alcohol while partying. Of the party-drinkers, 49 percent consumed three or more energy drinks.

That makes for a wide-awake drunk who may believe it's OK to drive a car...

• Caffeinated chewing gum is popular among (sleep deprived) soldiers. The gum effectively boosts physical and mental performance and helps maintain reaction time, vigilance, and ability to think clearly. The caffeine in chewing gum gets delivered quicker than via a pill (achieving significant levels in the blood in five vs. 30 minutes) because it gets absorbed though the cheeks, not the gut.

• Caffeinated colas offer not only caffeine but also a hefty dose of sugar. Colas, taken later in a long run, can provide a much-needed source of fuel so the combination of caffeine + sugar can provide a nice boost! Hence, some runners claim defizzed Coca-Cola is their preferred sports drink despite having only 35 mg caffeine per 12-ounce can.

• Caffeine is only a weak diuretic and is no longer considered to be dehydrating. A novice coffee drinker can become tolerant to the

diuretic effects of caffeine in 4 to 5 days of regular caffeine intake. Even high doses (3 mg/lb; 6 mg/kg) have no significant effect on urine production in coffee or tea drinkers.

Hence, there appears to be no hydration-related reason for runners to avoid caffeinated beverages.

• Caution: Consuming caffeine might contribute to negative effects. For example, let's say you are running in more than one competitive event in a day. If caffeine helps you go harder in the first event, will that “fry” you for the second event? Can taking another dose of caffeine counter that fatigue? With back to back events, will too much caffeine on the first day ruin your sleep, so you are unable to perform as well on the second day? More research is needed to answer those questions but for the moment, these situations provide good examples of why advice to use the smallest effective dose of caffeine is sensible.

• In 1984, caffeine was banned by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). But in 2004, WADA reversed the ruling. New research indicated the amount of caffeine needed to reach the threshold dose was detrimental to performance. Although caffeine is no longer banned by WADA, it is on the banned list for NCAA, the governing body of collegiate sports. Collegiate runners can be cited for doping if their caffeine level is higher than 15 micrograms/ml urine. (A normal urine caffeine level is between 1-2 micrograms). Unlikely but possible.

• Teen runners should be fully mature and eating an optimal sports diet before even considering the use of caffeine. Again, no amount of caffeine will compensate for lousy fueling practices.

• For even more helpful tips and tid-bits, get a copy of Caffeine for Sports Performance.

You'll actually stay awake while reading it; the book is not a snoozer!

For a 150-pound (68 kg) runner, the recommended dose of caffeine is about 200 mg one hour before exercise. That’s the amount in a large mug (16 oz) of coffee. No problem for most coffeedrinkers!

Snow, wind, chills = a rough month

the gym and at home because it's too cold/icy to leave, has gotten me back into core and arm workouts. That might also be motivated by my wedding in August, but at least it's getting done. Usually.

February should be better, and will hopefully include my first trail race of the season (fodder for next month's issue!) You can also find my other two "big" races for the season online -- the Lovin' The Hills races hosted by the Western Kentucky Runner's Club and Dances With Dirt in Gnaw Bone, Indiana.

That said, Louisville's Triple Crown series will have kicked off by the time this comes out, so look for a column about that once it's completed. The 5k course has been moved across town due to major bridge and interstate construction, but the 10k and 10 miler remain mainly unchanged. The Kentucky Derby Festival miniMarathon and full marathon will also have a few changes, which organizers say should improve the quality of the full distance.

Meanwhile, I'm going to turn on the fireplace and stuff my perpetually-soaked shoes with newspaper. May all you be blessed with clear skies, warm sun and 45- to 65degree weather!

I won't lie, this month's column has been a struggle. I put it off to the last minute and have really only bribed myself into writing it by promising myself I could eat some Bleu Castello while I did it.

I've been a writer for a long time -- professionally for about 13 years -- and subscribe firmly to the idea that there is no writer's block (there's no firefighter's block or doctor's block -- writers aren't special).

This month, though, I am faced with the sheer lack of an idea. This is a challenge.

Usually, I draw inspiration from what's happening in the local running scene, or what my own training and racing schedule looks like.

"Help! Trapped in February." Need I say more? Even those of you in typically warm Southern climes have had a bit of a winter lately. In Kentucky, it's been a rough month.

Last night, snow fell as rapidly as the Seahawks scored points, leaving us with about five inches for this morning's commute. Already, the school district in which I work has cancelled six times ... and we're supposed to get a half-inch of ice and more snow tomorrow night, so by the time you read this, who knows.

We've also had unusually cold temperatures, with multiple days of wind chills in the negative teens to -25.

Running Journal may have to kick Kentucky out of the "southeastern" region if our weather doesn't shape up.

I don't consider myself a fair-weather runner, but I do have my limits. Specifically, running on slick surfaces really aggravates my bum hamstring -- okay, and I'm just plain sick of this weather.

At this point, my face is so chapped it's peeling and my legs have developed both a deathly pallor and an added ashiness. I've spent a fair amount of time on the treadmill, which means I've watched nearly every free TV episode available on iTunes, plus a few I paid for. (Suggestions welcome. I'm running out of material.)

I will say this added indoor time, both at

It took a year of training on my own before I had enough guts to show up at a running club training run, then another year before I had enough guts to show up at a race, and yet another year before I would start placing in my age group.

I did my first marathon in 2010 at 57. I was the 5th oldest female to finish. Six months ago, I placed 7th in my age group in the 1500 meters at the National Senior Games. I'd trained for a year before that. It wasn't until I sprint-trained that I understood why, try as I might, I could never run a 5K faster than 27 minutes. We all get a predominance of fast-twitch genes, responsible for explosive fast-twitch sprinting muscles or slowtwitch genes, responsible for the ability to do more endurance running. We have a combination, but one or the other usually rules. All of a sudden, I felt free of wondering why I couldn't significantly improve my 5K times. I didn't beat myself up for not doing better than the gals with legs up to my neck. Fast twitch ruled and I was much more accepting once I understood that.

At 61, I didn't think I would do another marathon. The entry fee for inaugural marathon in Celebration was $60, about twice that of a 5K. Sold!

I asked a friend, Kali, if she would like to share my room. I had made reservations early because I wanted to be at a hotel that was near the start line.

As a roommate, Kali generously shared wisdom on everything I asked. “How are you so fast?” I begged. “Pick your parents well,” she joked. We did yoga stretches in the room. “What do you drink before the race?” She shared her trade secrets, kombucha tea and coconut water.

She helped apply a “Pace Tat” given out for free. Each mile tells you what your pace should be. All for naught.

Unfortunately, the Garmin 610 GPS watch I brought malfunctioned. Garmin is replacing it for free. But if you heard anyone screaming at every mile, “What time is it?” that was me.

I got a laugh from volunteers who yelled back the time of day.

“No, the race time, I meant,” I would laugh as they tried to find someone who had the race time. Often, big races will have electronic clocks at every mile mark. But hey…it all costs money.

The marathon, especially for a first year, was awesome. The signs were gut-busters. My favorite (and don't quote me exactly), “You had better ideas when you were drunk.” Others: “You're part of the 1%.” “Humpty Dumpty had wall issues too,”

“Maybe the Hokie Pokie is what it's all about?”

The marathon Facebook page had comments that described the race accurately: Awesome course, great volunteers, lots of water/fluids/Gu at stops (probably would not have finished without that Double Expresso passed out at Mile 19, even though I'd already downed 3 Chocolate Outrages). Many said food ran out after the half. The only thing available to eat when I finished was 5 deep-fried egg/mystery meat rolls. But I always take my own stash of food because you never know what to expect. I know how excruciating hard races can be to plan.

A video on the race website showed the course. That's why many of us signed up. But it didn't do the course justice. The boardwalks through the dense forests of palm trees were truly breathtaking. Although I wasn't the last in my age group to finish, by hour 5 the course was even more breathtakingly desolate as I came through the forest.

Kali could have easily left to drive the 90 minutes back home when she finished way ahead of me. Instead, in her usual unselfish exuberance, she cheered me on at the finish. I started crying as many of us do, crossing the finish. I thought of all the friends and relatives who never enjoyed any kind of good health to be able to do this. I collapsed into a chair and Kali said something outrageously funny as she always does. That thing sticking out of my stomach was arguably the world's thickest race bib. It had warnings all over the back not to bend or fold it. But for us short-waisted people, that was impossible. Gotta run!

Newton is evolving, and that’s reflected in its shoes, with specific categories to address biomechanical and technical preferences. The Motion III is the first of Newton’s mainline shoes to be updated. The upper now features a full saddle—light but secure, thanks to nosew overlays—and somewhat forgiving with a closed stretch-mesh. The interior is smooth, with Lycra in the ankle collar and tongue, which offers good comfort while keeping it spare enough to save weight. The high-quality EVA midsole features a 3mm drop from heel to toe, a broader midfoot that’s now a full-contact bottom, and the Action/Reaction plate in a new five-lug configuration. Between the broader and flatter geometry and new lug spacing, the shoe is much more stable yet it still delivers the unique Newton feel.

Keeping an eye on the scale, the outersole minimizes the rubber and uses it thinly where it’s placed: coverage that’s adequate and lightweight. The Motion III delivers lightweight performance with a touch of stability, earning it our Best Renovation Award.

“Smooth, snug, comfortable fit. The ride was light and responsive, great for my faster runs.”

The Zoom Fly is a bit of a sleeper: Don’t be fooled by its low price and seemingly simple design. Borrowing from the Bowerman heritage and mixing in a bit of its Lunar engineering, the result is a Performance shoe for this moment. The upper is open mesh in the forefoot with closed mesh in the mid- and rearfoot, and married together with no-sew overlays. The tapered toebox provides a good fit and retains its shape well, thanks to a synthetic leather toe cap. The toebox also includes a bunion window to accommodate the forefoot width. The midsole is a combination of Phylon and Cushlon, molded to provide support and protection. It’s got a Zoom Air bag in the forefoot and uses 8mm geometry. The outersole is BRS 1000 carbon rubber in the heel, with mini-waffles providing traction up front. The Zoom Fly is an effective Performance shoe for faster-paced runs and even for long races. And at $90, it’s an outstanding value—so good, in fact, that it won honors as our Best Value Shoe.

“Secure fit and a nice, low-to-the-ground feel.

Protective and nimble. This has been a go-to shoe for fast running.”

The Cloud takes On technology a step beyond. The original outersole lugs, called clouds, were made of dense—and heavy—rubber. Thanks to a new process, On is now using road-grade EVA foam, a much lighter material that’s been engineered to achieve the same effect without the extra weight. The closed mesh upper has a partial gusset and an overlapping saddle to secure the midfoot. It comes with both traditional laces and a stretch lace, and the smooth interior is suitable for sockless wear—both nods to its triathlon roots. The midsole is a high-quality EVA blend, forming the clouds along its length, and divided by a longitudinal gap that allows the foot to flex more naturally throughout the gait. Its 6mm geometry supports greater gait efficiency. The outersole sports a few touches of rubber at the heel and toe for durability, with the clouds managing the rest of the cushioning duties. The fit, ride, and innovation earned the Cloud our Best Performance Shoe award.

“Smooth—even plush—interior. Flexes well, has an agile feel to it; light and smooth. For my fast runs, these were what I reached for.”

The Faas 500 is the taproot of the Faas series, with other models branching off to suit different needs. Round 3 makes changes to the upper, while maintaining the ride and feel of Round 2. The upper offers a closed mesh, as in v2, but the midfoot now features a saddle-like framework with synthetic leather stanchions that loop into the lacing, snugging the foot over the midsole. The ankle collar and interior have beefier layers of memory foam, achieved without adding much weight—a worthwhile trade-off. The midsole continues with the 4mm geometry, and the EVA blend of elastomers offers the resilient cushioning, flexibility, and comfort the model has been known for. The outersole remains substantially the same—good news, since it was already an effective set-up going into the update. The result is a familiar shoe that works well for faster runs, a share of your daily training, or—in a pinch—even the occasional race.

The Mirage has been the most versatile of Saucony’s Natural Motion Series shoes, nestled between the Kinvara and the Cortana. Round 4 focuses on the upper and midsole to raise the bar for excellence, but not at the expense of the expected performance. The upper is a closed mesh with the usual adjustments to overlays: here, lightweight Flexfilm that belies its strength and support. The midsole still sits on 4mm geometry, but the substitution of PowerGrid for Round 3’s ProGrid now provides a more responsive feel to the shoe’s ride. The outersole is unchanged: The XT-900 carbon rubber heel and iBR (injection blown rubber) of the forefoot provide traction, durability, and extra cushion.

The Mirage 4 doesn’t disappoint. Its consistent nudge forward improves its quality and maintains its balance between high-mileage training and faster-paced runs.

Motion Stabilizing Spring 2014

The Kayano is ASICS’ iconic Motion Stabilizing shoe, now updated for a remarkable 19th time! Round 20 builds on the strengths of Round 19 by refining the interaction between the FluidRide and FluidFit systems to improve the comfort of the ride. The upper has a similar stretch mesh as in Round 19, but the stretchy BioMorphic panels have been replaced with a matrix of welded overlays and the traditional overlays making up the logo stripe, each contributing to midfoot support. The midsole has more exposed Gel, a reduced layer of Solyte, and more SpEVA. This results in a softer ride that increases the weight but adds a plush feel to the ride. Fair tradeoff? Yes. The outersole is substantially the same, just some minor differences in texture. The expected performance remains: stability and a plush ride for the 20th time. Very well done.

“Plush feel, good support. The ride was like a luxury car, but still pretty responsive and durable.”

Since its introduction in the 1990s, ASICS’ 2000 series has been a bestseller, thanks to its focus on stability and cushioning. They remain its focus in the second iteration of the 2000. The upper sports minimal changes: Tweaks to the combination of welded and traditional overlays have improved the lacing and support. The midsole retains the FluidRide setup of the previous round, with a little more Gel even though the shoe is a bit lighter. The outersole, which was effective the first time out, sports minor changes to the molding, perhaps improving traction incrementally. The GT–2000 2 continues to offer stability and cushioning that will satisfy the faithful and provides a solid option for those looking for an effective stability shoe.

“The fit is familiar, trusted like an old friend. The ride is dependable, stable, and comfortable.”

One measure of a brand’s success is sales volume, and Brooks has done well with the Adrenaline. Round 14 reflects the approach that has been key to its growth: Implement change slowly and don’t mess with what’s working. The upper now features a saddle that’s framed by traditional overlays with no-sew on the lateral side and synthetic leather shoring up the medial side. The entire upper is closed stretch mesh except for the lace throat, which is simple webbing to save weight while allowing the lacing to adapt to the foot. The ankle collar and tongue now feature two wicking fabrics: one striated for extra grip, the other with “pores” that allow moisture to escape. The midsole has been reshaped in the lateral midfoot—filled in to increase ground contact and stability—and the transition from heel to toe-off has been improved by extending the crashpad, which is worth the extra bit of weight. The outersole is much the same (carbon rubber in the heel and blown rubber in the forefoot) with minor changes to the molding. The result is a well-cushioned, stable, high-mileage running shoe, just as we’ve come to expect of the Adrenaline.

“Roomy and smooth interior. The base feels wide, but they aren’t sluggish.”

The release of the new Transcend has created a buzz. Technically, it’s a replacement for the Trance, but it’s actually quite different, even before you look at its new concepts and features. The upper is closed mesh with both traditional synthetic suede and no-sew overlays. The heel is supported by a TPU structure that connects to one of the shoe’s new concepts, the Guide Rails. The rails are plastic ridges that run the length of the shoe around the perimeter between the upper and midsole, keeping the foot aligned over the midsole without impinging on its natural movement. The midsole features new geometry for Brooks: a 10mm drop and a measured stack height of 35mm, maximizing the cushioning. The midsole shaping provides full contact to add stability and employs a compound called Super DNA, Brooks’ most resilient compound. The resulting ride is plush but not mushy. The outersole is HPR carbon rubber in the heel, rounded off to smooth the touchdown. Flextra blown rubber under the forefoot is segmented for good flexibility. The performance, innovation, and product execution earned the Transcend our award for Best New Shoe.

With technological affinities to the Sayonara, the new Wave Paradox refines the Mizuno line by replacing the Nirvana and Alchemy as Mizuno’s premier Motion Stabilizing offering. The upper is closed mesh with a covering of rubbery TPU overlays that provide support while both reducing weight and providing a smooth interior. The midsole is U4ic polyolephin foam surrounding Mizuno’s asymmetrical Wave plate that extends and connects to an articulated forefoot plate to provide responsive cushioning and stability.

The outersole is X-10 carbon rubber with a blown rubber forefoot, all in a full-contact bottom design. The combination of performance, technology, and effective support earned the Wave Paradox our award for Best Motion Stabilizing Shoe.

M O TI ON ST ABILIZING Nike Lunar Eclipse 4

Saucony Guide 7

$

135

$

120

Long the showpiece for Nike’s Lunar technologies, the Eclipse continues that trend with significant changes in Round 4. As in Round 3, the upper is engineered mesh, but here it relies less on the Flywire strands for security. Instead, the Flywire has been placed within a saddle support of welded overlays covered with firm mesh and offset lacing to secure the foot. The thermoplastic heel counter has been modestly beefed up, primarily on the medial side. The midsole has been reshaped, narrowing the waist slightly and reducing the firm feeling of the carrier foam. The forefoot has a concentric tree-ring-like suspension that flexes to accommodate the foot’s forefoot motion, and reduced carbon rubber in the heel saves weight. The overall effect is a comfortable and efficient Motion Stabilizing shoe.

“Good heel lockdown with excellent toe room.

Good responsive ride that I put a lot of miles on.”

The Guide is Saucony’s most versatile shoe, thanks to its stability and cushioning. In Round 7, Saucony has zeroed in on these aspects. The upper has a similar open mesh and traditional overlays, efficiently securing the foot over the sole. The midsole has been significantly retooled, keeping the 8mm geometry but engineering the segmentation and molding to optimize touchdown and transition. A full-length PowerGrid layer manages the kinetic energy and rests between the midsole and the Strobel board. The outersole continues with XT-900 carbon rubber and iBR blown rubber in the forefoot, though now the flex grooves follow the contours of the sole for better segmentation. The Guide 7 is truly performance for feet in need of a balance of cushioning and stability.

“Snug fit, but flexes well with my feet. Healthy chunk of foam underfoot, plenty of cushion and keeps things lined up.”

With its then-new midsole material that brought outstanding performance, the original Energy Boost created excitement. As good as the midsole material was, the importance of geometry and fit can’t be overemphasized, and the Energy Boost 2 focuses on dialing these in. The upper retains the stretchy fabric of the original, but adjustments in tailoring and additional structure in the saddle allow a more accommodating fit to the snugness, while effectively conforming to more feet. In some cases, sizing up is recommended, and the only way to know what works for you is to try it on. The midsole is unchanged, making the Boost a lightweight Neutral shoe that protects but also has a pretty snappy feel. The outersole features full-length Continental carbon rubber for more durability. With its cushy and responsive ride, the Boost continues to attract fans.

“Really like the feel of these shoes, the combination of the toespring and the energy return of the Boost when running. No matter how far I run in them, my feet still feel good.”

The Glide Boost replaces the Supernova Glide, becoming the second established adidas running shoe to be transformed by the new Boost Foam. The engineered mesh upper has no-sew overlays and a supportive saddle created from the logo stripes over the midfoot.

The tongue is gusseted to improve and smooth the fit, and it can’t slip out of alignment.

The midsole is Boost Foam topped by a layer of EVA that provides a familiar Glide feel and spreads the force more evenly across the bouncier Boost Foam. This gives a unique ride that’s firmer than the Energy Boost, while retaining its lively feel. The outersole is durable and grippy, thanks to a thin layer of Continental® carbon rubber that covers most of the forefoot, though there are slots that allow the foot to flex through the gait. All in all, the Glide Boost is a well-cushioned and responsive Neutral shoe with a traditional adidas fit and at a price that’s modestly more affordable.

Designed for the roads, the new Conquest sports some new solutions with a Hoka spin.

The upper is two layers of mesh: open air mesh on the inside and stiff minimesh on top.

The layers of mesh sandwich synthetic leather supports. No-sew overlays create a full rand that connects to the eyestay and is thin, light, and flexible. The midsole is a new design for Hoka: A cradle of foam is contoured under the foot and nestles into a second layer of R-Mat foam with vertical siping in the heel. The result is a more pliable material and a design that’s more flexible than previous Hoka midsoles. The toughened road-grade EVA outersole features a bit of carbon rubber at the toe and lateral heel to bolster the durability. Our verdict on the Conquest? A well-cushioned shoe that’ll keep you on the road for the long run.

Re-launched to the U.S. market in 2006, Karhu continues to adapt its Fulcrum technology.

The Fluid 3 is the next iteration of Neutral shoes for Karhu, following on the success of the Trail, Road, and Race versions of the Flow. The Fluid 3’s upper is an open mesh with synthetic suede overlays and welded supports in key spots. A bit of structure comes via a small supporting saddle and a semi-rigid heel counter. Its key feature is a new Fulcrum configuration of the 2-density foam that’s offset medially/laterally to accommodate the neutral gait and sports 8mm geometry. The midsole is a new injection-molded EVA that has a firm feel and ride—definitely not for those who desire plush cushioning—and more of a feel for the road. The outersole is carbon rubber in the heel and blown rubber in the forefoot, offering the expected good traction and durability. The Fluid 3 Fulcrum is a solid training shoe aimed at more up-tempo paces.

“Good, smooth fit with decent support. The ride was responsive and very firm. They served well for longer runs, faster runs, and were surprisingly versatile.”

The Wave Rider is like a sports sedan: plenty of horsepower, but with some creature comforts. Version 17 pares some excess, improves the fit, and addresses the ride. The upper is a closed mesh with minimal no-sew overlays (similar to its predecessor), but is a nice step up in fit and feel. The interior is smooth enough to make socks optional. The midsole is effectively sculpted to flex well and cradle the foot from touchdown through toe-off. Lateral lugs beveled from the heel into the forefoot accommodate a variety of footstrikes. The outersole is X-10 carbon rubber in the heel with a swirled pattern of blown rubber lugs in the forefoot that provides improved grip and a little extra cushion.

The long and short of it is, this Wave Rider is protective, nimble, and versatile.

“Comfortable fit with plenty of toe-room. Well cushioned and stable. A versatile, all-around shoe that is ready for whatever awaits out your door.”

The 980 is new to the New Balance line, but much of the interest generated is attributable to its use of Fresh Foam. The upper is a closed minimesh with minimal no-sew overlays. The ankle collar has a generous layer of memory foam to accommodate a variety of feet, and the interior is smooth and comfortable. The midsole employs a new polyethylene formulation called Fresh Foam that’s lightweight and cushiony. The geometry is a bit taller than in other New Balance shoes—a measured stack height of 28mm—and it features a heel-to-toe drop of 4mm. The full-contact outersole has a grippy, low-profile, lug-like pattern of variously sized hexagons. The heel is beveled slightly and decoupled to even out the touchdown. The fit, ride, and innovation of the Fresh Foam 980 earned it our award for Best Shoe in the Neutral category.

“Secure but roomy fit; smooth and seamless.

Really well-cushioned, but not too soft. Really well done.”

By redefining what a Neutral shoe is, the 890 has been a game-changer for New Balance.

Version 4 has undergone a transformation, both visually and structurally, along with a few updates. The upper is a closed mesh, with most of the fabric supported by no-sew overlays. Synthetic suede overlays at the heel, archband, and toe lend additional support.

Much of the old structure has been removed so the shoe conforms better to the foot. A bit more memory foam in the ankle collar ensures an excellent fit. The upgraded midsole geometry has more toespring to roll better with the foot, while keeping the 8mm heelto-toe drop, which has been one of its strengths. A thermoplastic plate under the Strobel board distributes the forces more evenly throughout the sole, and a two-part design of pods under the heel adapts to varying footstrikes, effectively smoothing the touchdown.

The outersole makes liberal use of blown rubber, which encircles a core of more durable rubber in the highest-wear portions.

The Ultra Smooth is The North Face’s first running shoe designed specifically for the roads. The upper is a closed mesh with no-sew overlays, which results in a smooth interior. The ankle collar is a smooth-but-thin polyester fabric called FlashDry over relatively little foam that cups the heel effectively, thanks to a Pebax nylon cradle. The thin tongue and flat laces secure the foot well without adding weight. The midsole is injectionmolded EVA, a rubbery blend that provides a resilient, though firm and responsive ride.

The lateral portion of the midsole’s forefoot also constitutes the outersole. (Don’t worry, its toughened surface is equal to the task.) The outersole is a durable Vibram rubber compound, set into the midsole for a smooth transition. The effective Ultra Smooth earns a hearty “well done” and has us hoping that it hints at a broader series of road shoes from The North Face.

Natural State of Running

Variety of runs despite the weather The Arkansas Grand Prix Series kicked off the start to the season with the One Hour Track Run at the end of January. All seemed well heading into February, but December Mother Nature wanted to spread her love around. She must have clued Punxsutawney Phil because he predicted we'd have more bad weather. On the very day the prediction was made an Arkansas race was cancelled. The irony is the race was postponed because of inclement weather in December.

Next, our lovely Valentine's Day 5K was delayed and then postponed to mid-March.

Beware the ides of March have to come to mind. I think the race director may have figured this, too. He safely rescheduled for March 16.

I don't think there is an Arkansan not ready for the spring weather. There will be more races to choose from at that time, but at least one can be assured the race will happen.

One Hour Track Run This race has history in the Arkansas Grand Prix Series as it debuted as part of the slate of races in Grand Prix II. It has had some growing pains as it was dropped from the series early on and it has been relocated a few times. One benefit of having a race on a track is no matter where it moves to the course doesn't change. It moved to Danville High School Track in 2013 and that's where it was again this year. This is one of two races in the series hosted by the River Valley Runners.

In an attempt to alleviate the congestion on the track, the race runs in two heats. Chip timing makes it easy to calculate the laps unless something happens to someone's chip.

Additionally, after the clock stops, each participant's distance is measured with a wheel to find out the total distance covered as

picked up where they left off from the Spa 10K last season by being the male and female winners. Both finished with over 10 miles of repeated left turns. In the team competition, the Melonvine Striders won the men's com-

held on it. For some, that's what makes it a race they return to year after year.

Mark Ferguson (51:52) and Leah Thorvilson (53:59) added to their string of Grand Prix wins. In the team competition, Little Rock Roadrunners Club won the men's competition and the Arkansas Ultra Running Club won the women's competition.

A few hours after the race, David Meroney hosted the Arkansas Grand Prix Awards, which honored those from last season. It was good to see the sponsors of the series come out and support and speak at the ceremony.

Plaques and gift certificates to Go! Running were given to all winners in their respective categories.

The esteemed Iron Runner honor was bestowed upon ten runners. A special award, The Milligan, properly named after Joe Milligan, was given to Eugene Atha of the Cabot Country Cruisers. He completed his one hundredth consecutive Grand Prix race with the completion of the Spa 10K in November.

White Rock Classic 50K Although the Arkansas Ultra Running Association women's team won the Grand Prix Series last season, many from the team were not in attendance for the Grand Prix awards. On the same day as the River Trail 15K, the 20th White Rock Classic 50K took place in Cass.

It returned to its initial course this year. In the last few years it had to be modified. I'm eager to get back out there to run the initial course. I've only done the modified course and people tell me the original course is better. No matter the course, being at White Rock Mountain is sure to put your mind at ease.

Being on well-maintained forest roads, it's a good off-road race to do and you can look up and enjoy the view. There are some times where you had better pay attention or your feet may move too fast down some of the descents.

Brian Hurley set a blistering pace winning in 3:53:06. That happens to be a new course record. Scott Reeves (4:32) and Joshua Hillebrand (4:37) were second and third, respectively.

In the last two years, Katie Helms has claimed the top female spot, but Allison Jumper (4:53) is the new Queen of the White Rock Classic 50K. Sharon James (5:43) and Lia Mayfield (5:47) rounded out the top three.

Mississippi River Marathon Some of the Grand Prix runners had to choose which race they wanted to do. The Mississippi River Marathon was originally scheduled on the same day as the Valentine's Day 5K. Maybe this was Mother Nature's way of being a fan of the Grand Prix. There may have been someone that was thinking about being an Iron Runner, but really wanted to run in this second year event.

Last year people had to deal with the wind and the mineral water. If you've never been to Greenville, MS, their water is legendary.

Well, some may call it infamous, because of its distinct color. Obviously, it's safe to drink, but I can imagine the looks on the faces of those running the race. With that in mind, bottle water sales probably sky rocket on that day.

The conditions were not optimal for the race this year, but that didn't stop them from having the race. Like Run the Line Half Marathon, this race features two states. It starts in Lake Village, AR, and finishes in Greenville, MS. The flat point-to-point course takes advantage of the views of Lake Chicot before crossing the Mississippi River.

One can't miss the bridge that takes you into Mississippi. It's the highlight of the race and is featured on the logo and the medal.

Last year's second place finisher, Scott Downard (2:28:21), came back this year to win the race setting a new course record.

Abraham Kogo (2:34:39) was second and Gary Krugger (2:40:18) was third.

Lindmila Stephahova (2:56:31) was the first female followed by Katie Kramer (3:10:24) and Margaret Jorgensen (3:21:37).

Nicholas Norfolk is president of the Little Rock Roadrunners Club. He frequently travels to races as a “running ambassador.” You can reach him at runbassador@gmail.com

petition and the Little Rock Roadrunners Club won the women's competition.

With the One Hour Track Run being a State Championship race, more points were up for grabs. There were 204 Grand Prix runners that participated in the One Hour Track Run, an increase from last year.

River Trail 15K While Grand Prix attendance at the One Hour Track Run increased, the River Trail 15K saw its numbers drop by almost one hundred. That could be attributed to not many signing up for the Grand Prix at the time of the race. Anyone can run a Grand Prix race, but points are only awarded if one has also signed up for the series.

Traditionally, the River Trail 15K is one of the most heavily attended races in the series.

This year 369 Grand Prix Runners took to the Mark Ferguson familiar Arkansas River Trail. Many use the opposed to only laps. trail to train and there isn't a shortage of races Eugene Atha (left) receive “The Milligan Iron Runner” award from David Meroney, Arkansas state RRCA rep.

Longworth, Pinyan Take Wins at 31st annual Winter Flight 8K

By David Freeze SALISBURY, NC – While many awards were given on Feb. 8, quite a few went to Salisburians and other North Carolina runners who used the perfect conditions to have great races at the 31st Annual Novant Health Winter Flight 8K. The event once again served as the Road Runners Club of America 8K North Carolina State Championship and continues to be on the Running Journal Grand Prix, a series of well-known races throughout the southeast. Top finishers receive points toward the annual Grand Prix championship.

Maleah Pinyan of Salisbury was the big local winner, taking home cash prizes for being top overall female, first female Rowan County finisher, and first female to the one mile mark. Pinyan’s winning time was 32:33, while Kelly Lowman of Salisbury was just 25 seconds back with a time of 32:58. Third place went to Jill Konkol in 33:29.

Trudy Gale of Salisbury was the female masters winner and also won the North Carolina masters female award with a time of 39:32. Elizabeth Kimberly of Mocksville won the North Carolina senior grandmasters female award with a time of 48:22.

Other male RRCA winners were top masters Bill Shires of Charlotte, grandmasters winner Tim Anderson of Greensboro, and Michael Quirk of Winston Maleah Pinyan Salem, who led the senior grandmasters contingent. Top grandmasters female was Marianne Holt of Matthews.

Overall winner was Matt Longworth of Charlotte with a time of 27:07. He also won the fastest male to the one mile mark with a time of 5:16. Steven Anderson was only 25 seconds back in the runner-up spot and Aaron Bowman ran 28:35 for third place.

Adam Cornelius of Rockwell was the top Rowan County male finisher with a time of 29 minutes and 57 seconds.

The one-half mile fun run was very competitive with Macy Abramson winning with a time of 3:21, followed closely by Abigail Calvert in 3:23 and Carson Green in 3:31.

Approximately 200 total participants enjoyed the cool and overcast conditions after a week of wintry weather predictions for race morning. Wind was not a factor for the morning’s activities which also included a 5K Health Walk.

A group of about 30 runners ran off the course and added various distances from .25 miles to .78 before rejoining the historic route. The confusion came at the turnaround for the Health Walk 5K with the intention of all 8K runners continuing on the coned course to the finish. The Salisbury Rowan Runners will give free entries to the 2015 Novant Health Winter Flight 8K to all those who ran off course. The club regrets the confusion. Over 80 volunteers worked the race.

Neal Wilkinson of Salisbury wowed the crowd with his rendition of the National Anthem, just before official race starter Kimberly Collins of Rowan Helping Ministries thanked the runners for their participation before sending them out onto the 4.97 mile course. All Matt Longworth proceeds from Winter Flight will benefit Rowan Helping Ministries of Salisbury.

In addition to Novant Health, other sponsors for the event included the City of Salisbury, Catawba College, Fowler Physical Therapy, the Forum of Salisbury, the Civitans of Salisbury, MedExpress, Salisbury Post, Cheerwine, Brent Parks, CPA, Sheetz, Koontz and Smith, Attorneys at Law, Community Grocery of Cleveland, Cleveland Drug and Vac and Dash of Albemarle.

The event was organized by the Salisbury Rowan Runners. Complete results are at www.salisburyrowanrunners.org.
