'Streakers' top 2,000 daily runs

By Bill Gorman First let me explain the picture and dispel any myths. The picture depicts a component of our current running journey.

Yes my wife, while Ruth and I are “streakers,” we are not the clothesless variety, but the “run at least a mile a day kind.”

Needless to say streaking is a part of our running program and, God willing, when you read this we will have surpassed 2000 days in a row. Streaking may be somewhat compulsive, but for the last 5 _ years it has helped us stay injury free while enjoying our running.

Each runner's journey has a different beginning. Our running began as a cross training program to improve our racquetball game in the early 80's. When our state of the art racquetball facility in Ocala, FL mysteriously burned to the ground, we were forced to find a new athletic outlet and as you would surmise it was running.

Now 32 years after our first road race we are still pounding the pavement with the same passion we had for that first competition, just a might slower.

There have been many changes in running during our journey. First of all, runner demographics have changed. In the early 80's,women made up only 20% of the field in the Jacksonville River Run. This year (our 19th running of Gate River Run) women outnumbered men 54% to 46%. How about entry fees? If you chose to run the Marine Corps Marathon in 1988, your entry fee was only $17. Today, if you can get into the NYC marathon, it will cost you over $250. The bling has gotten bigger and better, such as the Space Coast and Mercedes awesome marathon medals. Look at running apparel, there are now endless choices in color and style compared to the limited primary colors of the 80's and the 1.5” inseam running shorts. Shoes are now feather light with weights down to 5 oz. compared to the 1620 oz. clunkers we wore. I have also observed that carbs are out and protein is in although I should check with Nancy Clark on today's running diet.

There are some running aspects that could be improved. Running needs a mentor, another Dr. George Sheehan. He was the running guru, philosopher of the late 70's. He was able to inspire, guide runners and all athletes with his ability to tell how to experience the oneness of mind and body through running. Amby Burfoot would be a good candidate. Our sport also needs better press for our top runner ath-

Bill and Ruth Gorman letes especially in promoting marathoners.

We don't have the runner heroes that other sports produce through the media. Thirty years ago everyone knew and followed “Joanie” and “Boston Billy,” along with Grete Waitz, Ingrid Kristiansen, Alberto Salazar, and Frank Shorter, to name a few.

I now hope that, after Boston, runners will recognize the names “Meb” and “ Shalane” for the world class marathoners they are because of good press.

Through our journey some things have not changed. Over the years, Ruth and I have had a lot of different training partners. We still run with a couple of the originals. After spending countless hours, and running endless miles in their company, some conclusions can be drawn. Runners are people we want to be around. Runners are mentally tough, they are goal oriented, determined, intelligent, generally reserved and have the ability to plan. We have always trained with a group throughout our journey, and for the last half dozen years we have run with the “Ocala Turtles Running Club.” As you would guess by the name, this is not a hard core training group, but is made up of runners of all abilities. But this group continues to inspire and motivate us. Why else would we be out running in the dark at 5 a.m. three days a week? We count runners as some of our best friends and you really, really, get to know someone if you have trained together for a marathon.

Another aspect of our running journey that has not changed is our love for racing.

Some of our runner friends have stopped running because they can no longer compete at their “PR” level. But your best times don't have to stop when you have passed your prime. Today you can level the playing field of your current times using age-graded percentages and equivalent times for your age. Speaking of PR's, I have always liked this quote from the past, but unfortunately cannot remember the author for proper credit. “Your Personal Record (PR) is one of running's greatest treasures -- it gives every runner a way to win.” The thing I like about road races is that they are not subjective; no official is going judge you on arm swing, midfoot strike, or stride length. It is just you and the clock. In it's truest form, your race performance is based on the planning and training you put into it. Race times are as varied as the genetic ability of the race runners, so you should not compare yourself against other runners, but compare against your own goals.

Ruth and I feel very fortunate that our running journey continues. We have always looked at running as a gift, not a right or some entitlement, and are thankful for each day that we are able to run and compete. We plan to extend our running streak. We are currently working on achieving the USATF 2014 Phidippides award for the fifth consecutive year. We will continue to strive to meet the Masters All American Standards of excellence for Long Distance Running. So far we have attained the award in the 5k distance.

A return to Boston, forever changed

By Jamie Merriman The horrific events in Boston in 2013 have served to further define me as a person. The scenario and subsequent lasting effects are nearly impossible to adequately relay. In a split second, I was transformed from a person who viewed the world as relatively safe to one being caught in a world of terror and absolute chaos.

The subsequent weeks that followed found me traversing through a myriad of fear, anxiety, sadness, depression and, finally, anger. The anger repressed all other feelings and soon evolved into determination to return to Boston on 4/21/2014. I began my year-long journey to be “Boston Strong”.

Larry and I arrived in Boston on 4/17/2014.

The moment the airplane touched down I felt a surge of emotion. I knew it was time. We got settled - met with our dear friend Dave MacKenzie and his daughter, Mindy, who had arrived earlier that day. Dave is an accomplished marathon runner who decided to run Boston to show his support not only for the town of Boston but also to make sure I was okay.

The weekend that followed our arrival was nothing short of amazing. The expo was terribly crowded - the streets were full of runners with their families and friends, it almost felt like a normal pre-marathon period. But something was different - delightfully different. Boston had taken on an ambiance of love and an almost small-town friendly demeanor.

People on the streets offered assistance with directions (before being asked), yelled out of vehicles - thanking us for returning and wishing us luck in the marathon. The South church on Boylston Street had orchestrated a marathon scarf project - collecting over 7,000 hand-made blue and gold colored scarves from all over the country - having been prayed over and lovingly constructed for all runners and survivors from last year. A volunteer from the church wrapped a scarf around my neck - hugged me and wished me luck. I wore that scarf all weekend and will cherish it always.

We then made our way to the library to view the memorial that was constructed to remember and honor those affected. I found myself sobbing. The artifacts from the make-shift memorial constructed on Boylston Street and then moved to the library had been beautifully displayed. The messages, pictures, shoes and assorted items all forged powerfully together.

One of the best parts of the pre-race weekend was reuniting with the wonderful people who entered our lives last year. First, we met with Lisa (runner from Colorado) and Terri (her friend/Boston resident) - the two ladies who wandered the streets with me for 3 hours after we had been stopped after last year's explosions.

Seeing them again in a much happier scenario was priceless. Next, Larry and I reunited with our New Jersey Angels (Lori, Danny, Judy and Dave). They are the four marathon volunteers who were instrumental in reuniting Larry and me last year. It was a tear-filled - joyful reunion.

Those four will always hold a special place in my heart.

Monday, April 21, 2014 finally arrived. Larry, Dave, Mindy and I headed for the buses early that morning. Dave had dropped back to ride with me-even though he is a lot faster. Security was tight and we had to show our bib several times. My marathon began at 11:07. The start was packed and throughout the course it was a little difficult to maneuver. One girl tripped and fell shortly after we began. Water stops were littered with cups from the 25 thousand runners who passed before us. I actually crashed into a guy who stopped abruptly in front of me at a

Jamie Merriman after the finish of the 2014 Boston Marathon, medal in place. water stop. The weather turned warm and the sun shone brightly. It wasn't ideal marathon weather - but I didn't care. Time didn't matter elements didn't matter - what mattered was the estimated million people lining the streets, the runners overcoming adversity to run - the victims of last year bravely attending at the finish line.

I started high-fiving everyone who had their arms outstretched. I thanked volunteers, I stopped for water - walked when I needed to and basically wore myself out. I am not an elite runner - I am a “squeaker” and push myself to do the best I can. The last few miles of a marathon usually are a battle of intestinal fortitude vs. an overwhelming desire to be a weenie.

That day it was different. I struggled until I approached the last mile.

Something inside began to ignite. By the time I turned right on Herford my pace had picked up - I immediately recognized the point I heard the first bomb last year - my emotions became hard to control. As I turned left onto Boylston the struggle to suppress tears had become too much, then as I passed the point where I had been stopped by police, I realized how dangerously close I had been to the second bomb. I found myself running faster - and yelling out “Boston Strong” to which the crowd responded. My marathon was tough - my year of preparation was difficult - but my finish was strong. As I crossed the line and the medal was presented to me, I felt a giant weight lift that I had been carrying. Larry was there and had the crowd chanting my name.

Why I was a part of all this I will never fully understand. My running career has spanned less than six years. I ran Boston last year in an attempt to better my performance from 2011 when I ran with a bruised bone. My shallow selfcentered reasoning turned into something much bigger. God's grace became obvious. Through the incomprehensible horror and terror of last year's bombing emerged strength - courage and the ever enduring - amazing - tenacious human spirit - the one that supersedes any attempt at evil. I will never forget this past year and will never be the same person. And, of course, I will always be “Boston Strong.”

Down the Road

Inspired Daily

Boston Billy Storms and Charms Charleston

Close to home and one year stronger

Have you ever met someone and instantly liked them? Bill Rodgers is that kind of guy. He was in Charleston for the Cooper River Bridge Run and to promote his new book Marathon Man. The book is sub-titled 'My 26.2 Mile Journey from Unknown Grad Student to the Top of the Running World.'

The sub title really tells you the story of the book, and indeed the story of his life. When someone has won the Boston Marathon four times and the New York City Marathon four times, it is pretty obvious he is a great runner and great at marathons. I won't review the book here, but I will definitely recommend it. The book is easy to read, and I'm proud to now own an autographed copy.

Bill himself was more the story in Charleston than his book. His booth at the race expo was much sought out, and he never seemed to tire of talking to people who approached him. He was easy to talk to and fun to be around. He admitted he wasn't in condition to race the Bridge Run, but was looking forward to running it.

Bill said he had run a couple of races in South Carolina, but never in Charleston. I had met him at the race he ran in '88: the Myrtle Beach Classic. It was a race that was really working to draw a big crowd of Masters division runners. It featured Bill Rodgers, Frank Shorter and a South Carolina favorite Bob Schlau. I was there and met Bill and bought a copy of his earlier book Marathoning. The race attracted 611 finishers, and it was fast. I looked in my running log and found that I was 16th in my age division and 78th overall. My time was 37:33.

Bob had surprised both Bill and Frank by beating them at the Los Angeles Marathon.

Bill told the story that when he passed Barry Brown and Frank Shorter in the race he assumed he was the first master. He was surprised when someone told him there was another masters runner ahead of him. Bill ran 2:20 to Bob's 2:19. Bill said they raced again later that year at Falmouth Road Race and he told Bob he wasn't going to let him beat him at that race, and they both laughed about that. Bob added that Bill took off at the starting gun and he was ahead the entire way.

He also said he wished he had run the Bridge Run before, but that he had always had a commitment to run another race which was always held on the same weekend. I asked Bill about his plan for the race and he said he and Bob had agreed to run the race together and to take it easy since he was not in race shape. Bob told me they had agreed to run an 8-minute pace. At the Press Luncheon the next day, Bill made a brief gracious speech.

I remember receiving all kinds of text messages, phone calls, and facebook messages last year asking if I was in Boston.

Thankfully I was not. I could not imagine being there during the bombings. My heart went out to everyone there and continues to go out to everyone it affected, especially those who were physically or emotionally hurt. I wasn't there physically, but it still hit close to home.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a Yankee as a person from New England. I am most definitely a Yankee. I grew up in Monson, Massachusetts (about an hour west of Boston) where I spent the first 22 years of my life. We had Patriot's Day (Marathon Monday) off from school and always watched the Boston Marathon on television.

My dream as I became a runner at age 11 was to run it one day. I have run it five times so far -- 1997, 1998, 2001, 2011, and this year.

After last year's bombings, I wanted to be part of the 118th running of the Boston Marathon more than ever. Luckily I had already run a fast enough qualifying time in January 2013 to register and make the cut.

My husband and I decided to make Boston our vacation this year and spent almost a week enjoying the true history of our great nation that can only be found in New England. Somehow the whole experience, despite it being my fifth time there, seemed more exciting and special than ever before.

Maybe it was the fight, the spirit, and the determination to show that we were one year stronger. It was literally all around us.

We spent four hours at the expo. We have never spent so much time at an expo before but there were so many amazing people to meet, including Dick & Rick Hoyt, Hal Higdon, Jeff Galloway, Deena Kastor, Kara Goucher, and one of my favorites “Boston Billy” Bill Rodgers.

The weather was pretty cold for this Yankee who has lived in Florida since 1995, but race day warmed up to a near perfect 60 degrees and sunny. Everything was pretty much perfect the whole trip. Even my first half splits were near perfect; sadly, a little too perfect on those downhills. I did try to hold back and stay relaxed like you need to that first half.

I had a pretty strong emotional moment in the first three or four miles when we ran by a large crowd outside a bar screaming, holding signs, and blaring music. When I reached halfway, I knew my legs were toast and this would not be a good second half.

Despite how annihilated my legs were with 13 miles to go, I never even considered dropping out. I knew I had to finish and be part of the 36,000 who were there to show that we were one year stronger. I am a very competitive runner so it was quite the epiphany for me to stop caring about my

By Cedric Jaggers

Race day was tough for a lot of runners since it was warm and humid. It wasn't bad if you were standing around watching. I had told Bill I'd take a picture of him at the finish since I wouldn't be able to run the race for the first time after doing it 35 consecutive years, due to a car accident.

Once the winners had crossed the finish line I was asked a number of times by runners who had finished and by the local press “Where is Bill Rodgers?” I told them he and Bob Schlau were running together and planned to run it in about an hour. When Bill and Bob crossed the finish line arm in arm a big roar went up. You would have thought they had won the race. And in a way they did. Bill was swarmed by runners and by the press. He didn't brush anyone off. He was willing to pose for pictures and selfies with everyone who asked.

When I asked him what he thought of the race course he said it was a beautiful bridge and an interesting course. He said the Bridge was made for runners and that he wanted to come back, and that he had run it with Bob and had an interesting time. Their time was 53:28. He never mentioned his hamstring problem, but Bob told me they could have been faster, but Bill had to stop and stretch and massage his hamstring coming down King Street (which is after runners cross the 2.5 mile long bridge). Bob also said they had talked the entire way, about the races where they had competed against each other and about everything. He said one of them was talking the entire time during the race.

Bill Rodgers is a great runner and a charmer. He sure charmed everyone in Charleston. If you ever get the chance to meet him, don't miss it. He's the kind of runner who gives the sport of running a good name.

Cedric Jaggers was elected to the South Carolina Road Runners Hall of Fame in 1992. He is the author of Charleston's Cooper River Bridge Run. He lives and runs in Rock Hill, SC. He may be reached via email at JaggersRun@comporium.net.

finish time or mile splits and push through the pain for something so much bigger than myself.

Right on Hereford, Left on Boylston.

Words cannot adequately describe the feeling you get when you turn left on Boylston and can see the finish line. You cannot hear your own thoughts. I almost had tears running that last stretch to the finish. I am definitely not happy with my finish time, but I was incredibly happy to have finished Boston Strong. This city, this marathon truly inspired me.

Contact her at Or even special shoes with cleats for hooking ways in a group setting. terisaylor@hotmail.com. into clipless pedals.

The most important thing we considered before we selected our favorite two-wheeled wonder was how the pedals would feel under our bare feet.

As kids in the south, we couldn't wait for summer and for shedding our shoes. My brother and I would have contests to see who could acquire the toughest feet, and we would go out and walk on rocks and hot gravel like fire-walking believers to toughen them up.

When we could step on a bee and hardly feel it, we knew our feet were ready for summer.

In Raleigh, as in other cities, I imagine, there is a class of young urban cyclists. They drag out their street cycles and converge on downtown in swarms, wearing street clothes with not a helmet on a single head. A couple of years ago I wrote about an alley cat bike race sponsored by North Carolina State University.

Kids, young and old, turned out on bikes of all shapes and sizes, from beach cruisers, to retro 3-speeds, to mountain bikes, to banana seat bikes with high-rise handlebars.

They had dragged their bikes out of crawlspaces under their parents' houses, found them covered in cobwebs after years of storage in barns and sheds and under porches. They bought them off Craig's list or at yard sales.

Some were rusty. Some were shiny. Some had bells, and others still had colorful streamers hanging from the ends of their handlebars, a nod to the glory days of youth and what kids think is cool.

There was not a single racing bike in sight.

As a kid, my brother had a banana-seat bike and loved to compete in heated contests with the neighborhood boys to see who could pop a wheelie and hold it the longest. Some of those boys could ride a wheelie the entire length of our neighborhood street.

We loved riding our bikes hands free. On the 4th of July we'd go speeding down the street arms out and holding sparklers in each hand. We used clothespins to attach playing cards to our wheel spokes, which made a silly flapping noise, which we thought was cool.

We rang the bells on our handlebars at random, and stayed out until the fireflies came Ann Guevara (left) and Teri Saylor are all smiles after a grueling, hilly metric century bike ride around out and signaled it was time to go home for Hillsborough, N.C. supper.

This Running Life

Capturing childhood on a bike Gasping for breath after pedaling up and down rolling hills for six hours on a beautiful sunny afternoon, my friend Ann Guevara and I mustered enough energy to cheer as we made it to the end of a grueling metric century Cycle-to-Farm bike ride, sponsored by Velo Girls of Black Mountain, N.C. The ride was billed as “flat and fast,” so we thought we could conquer the 62-mile distance, even though we had hardly been in the saddle since last fall and had minimal training.

But considering the tour was around places with the “h-word” like Chapel “Hill” and “Hills”borough, we had our doubts about “flat and fast.” Plus, the elevation chart showed an ascent approaching 2700 feet, including a short steep hill with an 11 percent grade. In short, the whole thing looked mighty hilly on paper.

We sighed, and reckoned that since the ride organizers were based in the North Carolina mountains, these rolling hills were indeed “flat” by comparison.

And as the lily-livered, wimpy flatlanders we are, we knew we would just have to suck it up and ride it out.

Ann and I had set out the night before the ride to see just how hilly the route was. We scouted shortcuts, and we got lost along those country roads and gravel pathways.

We found compass apps and downloaded them into our phones, just in case.

Turns out, we didn't need a shortcut or even a compass after all, but at the end of the day, I don't know if I could have forced my pedals into one more rotation, and the only point to point map I cared about anymore was from the finish line to the finish line party.

I have often wondered how slow you can go up a hill without falling over. Struggling for balance on that ride, my abs were fully engaged, and it felt like I was pedaling through mud as I wobbled over the crest of the steepest grade at a stunning speed of 3.7 mph.

Of course, what goes up must come down, and I was rewarded for that pitiful uphill effort with a glorious downhill screamfest like a roller coaster running at 30 miles an hour.

Spending six hours on a bike gives you plenty of time to think, and as we worked our way across the countryside, I thought about growing up, and I thought about bikes.

When you are a kid, you don't cycle. You go bike-riding.

I grew up in neighborhoods full of kids.

My hometown is Winston-Salem, a hilly, medium-sized city in North Carolina's Piedmont area. During the summertime, we kids lived on our bikes. They were our wheels, our transportation, and our freedom.

We rode without gears, without helmets and without shoes.

Back in those days, we didn't select our bikes based on sleek styles or weight; expensive titanium or carbon frames; aero bars or seat structure. We didn't worry about a drive train or components. We didn't wear bike

Natural State of Running Long runs and challenging courses Hoof It For Heifer 20K

By Nicholas Norfolk

RussVegas Half Marathon

make. Most are usually the same, but this time I saw one that was new. It said, “Run like this is the Hunger Games.” Having read the trilogy, I immediately began playing scenes in my head.

I turned down the jellybeans and Gummi Bears at the aid stations, but it was good to know they were available. I didn't pass on any of the high-fives. Seeing many of the ladies wearing their Women Run Arkansas shirts brought a smile to my face. Some ran while others volunteered.

I helped coordinate the pacers and they all did a great job. Pacing is about sacrifice. You're sacrificing your time in order to help someone else reach his or her goal. The only person to stay with my pace group the entire time was hoping to finish his first half marathon. Having attempted it before, he was skeptical about finishing. I say he was destined to finish after learning he won his entry. He stuck with us and was a swell guy to run with. I'm happy to say that Curt finished this time!

The course wasn't as flat as I thought it was going to be. I heard people saying, “I was promised a flat course.” It wasn't too bad and nothing

Josh Madison in Hoof It For Heifer 20K

Oh, how I love my Arkansas State Parks, especially when people put on races at them.

Heifer International has hosted Hoof It For Heifer 20K for three years now. Each year, race director Wanda Eason finetunes the race. I remember the first year when almost everyone got lost. It's a trail race. It happens. This year I don't recall anyone going off course. There were two spots where it could have happened to a Petit Jean newbie, but I'm pretty seasoned on the course.

It's a beautiful course regardless of the time of year, but after a hard rain, it's even better.

The course makes use of most of the trails at the state park. Most know Petit Jean for the iconic Cedar Falls. Although not part of the course, toward the end of the race, you can catch a glimpse of it from the overlook.

Different this year were the sights of trees sprawled out on the course or uprooted. I kept telling myself I need to remember to tell the park staff. One of my favorite sections of the course is a steady downhill before making it to Blue Hole. With the added obstacles, it wasn't as fluid as years past, but it remained enjoyable.

I passed others out hiking and enjoying the different trails. Seven Hollows is part of the course. It's a four-mile loop. I would have to guess it's the second most used trail at the park.

That's where I encountered most of the hikers and backpackers.

After crossing the bridge that's close to the finish many make the mistake of turning left. If that happens, you basically start the course over except for the first 1.5 miles. This year I had to laugh because there was a sign that was more that obvious.

Forrest Clark set a new course record finishing in 1:45:01. Deb Baker was the first female finisher in 2:25:39.

Start of RussVegas Half Marathon

I'm sure not many thought a half marathon in Russellville would sell-out or have 1,000 entrants. Easily one of the biggest events to be hosted in Russellville, the RussVegas Half Marathon was billed to be a great event and it delivered. The team led by race director Chris Olson bedazzled us with a race that all could enjoy.

In an effort to be as inclusive as possible, the course had a liberal cut-off off time of 4.5 hours, if you included the early start.

Participants were able to choose between red, white, and blue shirts at packet pickup. How many races do that?

The day of the race the weather was cool at the start, but it did heat up. There were seven aid stations on the course. Next year, an increase wouldn't hurt, especially if it's hot again. However, water was always cold and the Gatorade was strong. The aid station volunteers were properly trained and enthusiastic.

Being that it was RussVegas there were a few characters spotted on the course. I saw Elvis at an aid station. He must have a twin. Lady Gaga ran past my pace group. She would later win the female costume contest. The prize was a $100 gift card to Go! Running. Chick-fil-A had some cows on the course and they were moo-ving!

The atmosphere created was as infectious not only from the volunteers but also from the spectators.

I love when a city embraces a race. It shows they really care about their city and they want to be hospitable. I always enjoy the signs people

really crazy happened until we approached mile 12. It was an overpass. People were saying, “WTH” and that doesn't mean “What The Hill.”

This was it. Depending on how you'd run, this could sabotage your time. It reminded me of the way Soaring Wings Half Marathon finishes. Once you crest the hill, it literally is all downhill from there.

I heard the roar from the finish line as we got closer. The finish line had vendors that had apparel, food, and an area for children. Carson Miller (1:18:52) and Natalie Ragsdale (1:32:26) are the first two winners of the race that has transformed Russelleville to Runnerville.

The race had runner amenities that can't go overlooked. I often hear people say a race shouldn't be advertised as chip-timed unless there is a timing mat at the start of the race.

Stearns Race Timing took care of that. Using disposable chips and the post-race e-mail with my results were other small, but important aspects. I guarantee it will sell out sooner next year. Registration will open in the fall in case you think you want to run the “other” strip.

Ouachita Trail 50 The same day as the RussVegas Half Marathon was the 24th Ouachita Trail 50. Last year was my first year to do it and had I not already committed to RussVegas this year, that's where I would've been this year. It doesn't look like I'll be there in 2015 as the RRCA Convention will be that weekend next year.

It's the only 50-mile/50-kilometer race in the state. With a 13-hour cut-off because of the longer distance, first-time 50kers are attracted to this race. Add to it the supportive and skilled aid station volunteers, race director Chrissy's hugs, post-race vittles from burgers to chili, mystery Hasher aid stations, and a finish line that erupts every time a runner approaches, how could anyone pass this up?

The course starts at Maumelle Park and takes the Highway to Hell to connect to the Ouachita Trail. Within the first 3 miles of the trail, the course elevation increases dramatically.

Summiting Pinnacle Mountain is part of the course that can be dreadful. The majority of Arkies have climbed Pinnacle at some point, but to those not familiar with it, it will catch their attention.

Fortunately climbing over only happens once. After coming down, the route continues on the Base Trail. A race in the fall, Race the Base, makes use of the entire Base Trail.

Known for being technical, keeping your eye on your footing is imperative.

Next, the course heads out of Pinnacle Mountain State Park and up to the 50K turnaround, where you can make a decision to drop to the 50K if you signed up for the 50-miler.

There are some good views along the way that shouldn't be ignored.

I've never done the 50-miler, but I've run on that part of the course. Before deciding to drop down to the 50K because of worrying about more rocky terrain, consider the course after the 50K turnaround is easier to find a rhythm on.

All of the awards are handmade by the race director. This year the top finishers had something extra since it was a RRCA State Championship. I made my way to cheer on friends after RussVegas. Everyone knows that ultra runners know how to part.

There were 46 finishers of the 50-mile distance. Brian Hurley (7:47:13) and Gia Dawn Madole (9:38:41) were the 50-mile winners.

There were 123 finishers of the 50K distance.

Thomas Chapin (4:35:35) and Rachel Furman (5:31:24) were the 50K winners.

Women’s Running Wrapped In Love And Courage As I waited in line to pick up my race number at the Expo on the Friday before the Boston Marathon, I noticed a number of runners with varied blue and yellow scarves around their necks. I found it fascinating that people knit scarves to celebrate the marathon. Little did I realize then that the scarves had a meaning beyond individuals.

Later that afternoon as we headed back to Somerville on the T, I saw runners congregating just past the Boston Marathon finish line on Boylston Street at the Old South Church. The gothic revival building, a national historic landmark with elaborate stonework and stained glass windows, was opened in 1875 but the congregation itself dates back to 1669. It has been the church of the finish line since the first Boston marathon in 1897.

Members of the congregation were distributing scarves to runners.

I returned the following morning, with my teammate Amy, after we had finished volunteering at the 10,000 participant BAA 5K, to find out the story of what was happening. There were hundreds of runners talking with church members who had many scarves draped around their necks. Amy (whose husband Bryan was injured last year while spectating from the front row of bleachers) and I met Priscilla who asked us about our participation in the race, told us the story of the scarves and blessed us and gave us beautiful scarves and even one for Amy's husband.

The emotion was overwhelming and being the ever curious reporter, I wanted to find out more. I got the project's coordinators names and contacted them when I returned home. As the one-year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing approached, members of Boston's Old South Church United Church of Christ had mixed feelings. "Some are facing the anniversary with a spirit of defiance and determination, some feel a growing sense of unease and foreboding, and for others it is a time of grievous loss," said the church's pastor, the Rev. Nancy Taylor."

As we approach the first anniversary, feelings are complicated. Every athlete competing in this year's Boston Marathon is facing down fear and defying it. These scarves, knitted with prayers of love and courage, will literally enfold the athletes, touching their skin and blessing them on their way."

So the church, located about 100 feet from the marathon's finish line, where the bombs went off on April 15, 2013, chose

By Carolyn Mather, RN, PhD.

to celebrate the tenacity of the human spirit through the Marathon Scarf Project, an effort to wrap each runner of this year's race in love, hope and prayer. Church members Marilyn Jackson-Adams and Diane Gaucher, inspired by the Synod Scarf Project, which encouraged UCC members to send handmade rainbow-colored scarves to General Synod 2013 in Long Beach, CA, as a stand against the bullying of LGBT youth, had the idea of giving a yellow and blue scarf to each marathon participant who shows up for the traditional blessing of the athletes on Sunday before race day.

"On this first anniversary, Marilyn and I wanted to do something special for the runners who come to our 'Blessing of the Athletes' services the day before the marathon. (usually ~100 or so runners).

We have had this special service since 2008. The number of athletes who attend has grown each year, and we know that many of the athletes come back year after year. It is one of our favorite services. We LOVE blessing our athletes!"

But when Gaucher and Jackson Adams realized that Easter was the day before Marathon Monday, they realized they'd have more runners - and need more than a few hundred scarves. The Marathon Scarf Project was organized by members of the Old South Knitters, the church's group of about 30 knitters, crocheters and weavers.

The group began collecting handmade scarves in the colors of royal blue and yellow, the official colors of the Boston Marathon, measuring approximately 4-6 inches wide and 60 inches long.

On Feb. 11, they started putting the word out, first on Facebook, then in the knitting and crochet websites and message boards. In 10 weeks they received 7,400+ scarves from around the country and beyond, many marked with tags describing their origin. Nearly every state and 11 countries sent scarves. By creating a scarf, each person shared in a very pub-

www.running.net lic proclamation of love over hate and a very personal moment with the athletes.

The message given to each athlete was:" In this year of remembrance and hope, we will wrap you in love and prayer by presenting you with a handmade blue and gold scarf. The scarves are a labor of love by knitters across the country and beyond, specifically for this year's athletes. May the scarf warm your spirit as you maneuver a new city, as you carry the weight of a somber anniversary year, and as you look down 26.2 miles with resolve."

For two days scarves were presented to marathoners, survivors and first responders. Then on Easter Sunday at the blessing of the athletes the church members asked that the runners be kept safe from harm or injury, that they might serve as an example of peaceful international competition, and that God would grant them the stamina to finish the race. "The service is tied in with the marathon - we have the runners stand and the congregation blesses them and wishes them Godspeed and a safe run," said Diane Gaucher, an Old South Knitter. "We thought it would be such a nice gesture to give them something extra this year and wrap them in our love." And thus the remaining scarves were distributed.

The scarves were precious to everyone involved in the project. "Through the Marathon Scarf Project, Old South Knitters are doing what they do best: weaving messages into textiles," Rev. Taylor said. "Every athlete is staking his or her life on the proposition that the world's oldest peaceful, international competition - a competition requiring only the spare form of the human body, a competition requiring no protective gear, a competition often won by persons from among the poorest nations on earth - is a sacred and worthy undertaking."

To give hope and bring healing was evident as members who presented scarves

told the story of the scarf, listened to the hopes and fears of the runners and looked into our eyes and assured each of us that our scarf was stitched with courage and love, wrapping us in courage and love and encouraging each of us to know love wins! Each scarf was unique and represented a world of love and sharing. My scarf came to Boston from Covina, CA. A friend's came from New Zealand. In barely two months, more than 7400 scarves knitted with great care came to Boylston Street where they each found a special owner. "Who knew that with skeins of wool and a lot of needles you could literally knit this world together?" Rev Taylor said. "I didn't. But I am now a believer. I have come to believe in the power of wool and knitters."

The Marathon Scarf Project gave all of us a glimpse of how much recovery and courage meant to more than just runners.

Each person who created a scarf had a stake in the power of love and courage.

Each scarf had a tag which stated "This scarf is interwoven with love and courage." A second tag provided the origin of the scarf. I cannot begin to tell you how this outpouring of love affected the recipients. It was an act of unselfishness and love that each creator gave us. It demonstrates how much good there is in the world when people knit for the well being of someone they will never meet. I personally will treasure my scarf forever.

Thank you is not nearly enough to say but I hope each participant realizes how they touched the runners and the city of Boston. This was a project of true magnificence.

Masters Running Distance Running: Healthy Exercise or a Potential Killer?

Is there such a thing as “too much running”? And can we actually kill ourselves by doing too much of a good thing?

Recently I have seen discussions, on Facebook and elsewhere, referring to a 2012 article in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings. The article was authored by Dr. James O'Keefe, a cardiologist in Kansas City. After reviewing data from several previous studies of marathoners, triathletes, and other extreme endurance athletes, O'Keefe concluded that long term, excessive endurance exercise may be harmful to the heart. With “excessive” he meant running more than 20 miles per week. “Regular physical exercise at a moderate level has significant benefits and can prolong our lives by up to seven years compared to non-exercisers”, O'Keefe said. But he also warned that if we exercise at an extreme level over time, our life expectancy could retreat and become more similar to that of a nonexerciser. He claimed that when we repeatedly perform hard exercise that lasts for several hours (such as running marathons), muscle fibers in the heart will tear, resulting in inflammation and scar tissue. This could in turn make us more vulnerable to abnormal heart rhythms.

These conclusions have been challenged by other researchers, and many of his contemporaries are asking for more solid scientific proof. Yes, there could be tears in the heart muscle after prolonged intense exercise, but this is the case with skeletal muscles also. If you want to make a muscle stronger, you have to exercise it so hard that you damage it a little. But it will heal itself, and in response to the stress it was exposed to, it will become stronger. During the healing process there is some soreness, something every runner or exerciser has experienced. It is very important to take an easy day or two between hard workouts, so that our muscles (including the heart muscle) will have some time to heal themselves. If we do hard workouts several days in a row, our muscles won't have enough time to recuperate, and we will literally “run ourselves down”. It has been said more than once that rest is the most important part of the training process, and the older we get the more we have to heed this advice. It takes more time for muscles and other tissue to heal as we age.

So, O'Keefe may have been at least partially right. Very likely there is a threshold beyond which more running (or other

By Lena Hollmann RRCA Southern Director

exercise) will do us more harm than good.

Other studies have come to similar conclusions. However, this threshold very likely varies from person to person. For one individual it could be 15 miles per week, and for another closer to 50. There are also other conditions, arthritis for example, that can put us on the sidelines without directly impacting our mortality.

Our health and longevity is largely determined by genetics, but we can influence it to some extent by exercise and a healthy diet. Some of us, like myself, are able to exercise vigorously and run long distances for several decades without much noticeable damage to our heart or joints. But others are not as fortunate. Jim Fixx, author of the 1977 bestseller “The Complete Book of Running,” lived a healthy lifestyle but still dropped dead during a run at the age of 52 in 1984.

More recently, there were two runners who suddenly fell down and died during a Rock 'n' Roll half marathon in Raleigh, NC. Both were male, and only in their 30s. Those deaths were very sad, and put a damper on what otherwise was a festive event on a beautiful day. My thoughts and sympathies go out to their families, who had to face such a tragic and sudden loss of a loved one.

So, could running long distances be dangerous and potentially deadly? When two runners collapse and die in the same race for seemingly no reason we might pause and wonder. Even though they were “only” two out of over 12,000 participants, it is scary. Then add the O'Keefe analysis, and maybe we will stop in our tracks and question whether we are doing the right thing when we lace up your shoes for yet another run. Or more likely, our non-running friends and relatives will. We may hear that instead of going out for a 10-mile run, we should take an easy walk around the block or on the treadmill. We are confused and not sure what to do.

As of this writing, the cause of death in the two young runners at the Rock 'n' Roll event has not been publicly announced.

But according to cardiologists who were interviewed in local media, most likely they had some abnormalities in their hearts that they were not aware of. Sudden deaths in races are very rare, and when they do happen the cause is almost always a cardiac event. In an older runner the most probable cause would be a heart attack. But since the two runners who passed away in Raleigh were only in their 30s it was more likely due to other abnormalities.

We do have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease as we get older, whether we run or not. We tend to develop atherosclerosis as we age, i.e. plaque builds up in our arteries. But how early in life this starts happening and how fast it accumulates depends on genetics, and to some extent on lifestyle. Our heart and other muscles need oxygen to operate, and they need more of it during exercise than during rest. The oxygen that we breathe in is supplied to the muscles via the arteries.

But if they are partially blocked by plaque, then not as much blood can flow through, and our muscles get less oxygen.

(This is a partial explanation why we cannot run as fast or as hard as when we were younger, by the way.) If there's a blockage in the coronary artery it could lead to a heart attack. It could happen while we are running, or while doing something else.

However, several studies have indicated that regular exercise slows the buildup of cholesterol that contributes to plaque formation. This is one of several reasons why running (or other exercise) plays such an important role in keeping us healthy as we age, and it may also cause us to live longer.

However, if we already are “a heart attack waiting to happen,” or have other cardiac abnormalities, then exercising hard could have disastrous results. As we get older we may also have other conditions that are contraindications to running. Therefore the American College of Sports medicine (ACSM) recommends that men age 45 or older and women age 55 or older get a doctor's clearance before starting any exercise program.

Both runners who died in Raleigh were younger than the recommended minimum age for men to get a doctor's clearance to exercise. And I have no idea whether or not they were examined by a doctor before participating in the half marathon.

But even if they did have an exam, it would probably not have revealed the underlying and presumably rare conditions that became their nemesis.

It is impossible to rule out every potential health hazard before we take up or continue with running. Many conditions are very rare, and as long as we are experienced runners or have a physician's clearance, we should be good to go. We usually get in our car without worrying too much about getting killed on the highway. Likewise, we have to gather the courage to go out on a run without worrying about passing out. We need to be aware of the signs and symptoms of more common perils (heat related illness in the summer, for example), and stop running if we feel dizzy or “off ” in some other way.

If you love running marathons or ultramarathons, and your body can handle the training, then go for it. No reason to give up or curtail doing what we love, simply on the premise that if we retreat to the couch we might possibly live a few years longer. There's quantity of life but also quality of life. And for us runners, the latter usually includes running!

Running Through the Age Groups 'Runner's Butt' a back problem?

If you're like most runners who've been at it for some time, you've “enjoyed” your share of aches and pains. I've had a long history of injuries, both running-related and just bad-luck related, and I would even venture to say that over the past 30 years, more than half the time one thing or another has ached. Having endured everything from a collapsed lung to a ruptured Achilles tendon, I've learned some tough lessons about how to react to and deal with pesky aches and pains.

It always seems to start with that first tinge of an ache or pain -- when you hope it's just soreness and you're basically in denial for awhile. This involves the inevitable, agonizing decision whether to train through it and risk exacerbating it, or whether to take time off and risk losing weeks of hard-earned fitness. Then, after resigning yourself to the fact that it's an injury and not just soreness, the decision becomes whether to see a doctor or try self-help.

If the injury is serious enough to send you to a doctor and to warrant -- God forbid -- diagnostic tests, then the ultimate decision involves whether to treat the injury conservatively or surgically. Being no stranger to surgery, I recommend considering that route only after all other options have been exhausted.

Over the past several months, I've dealt with this pesky pain that originated in my right glute and at times ran down my hamstring. It started after a half marathon in the mountains for which I had not properly trained. The extreme side-sloping streets that dominated the course did a ringer on what I thought was my glute and hamstring. Since that race, which was eight months ago, I've had pain varying in intensity from almost non-existent to almost excruciating. About a month into the “injury”, I saw my doctor, who prescribed physical therapy. Not wanting to mess with therapy - I didn't have a lot of faith in it -- and convinced that I could run through the pain as I was training for a marathon in November, I ignored the doctor's advice and pressed on with my training.

In October, I ran a challenge race, consisting of a 5K on one day followed by a half-marathon the next day, as a tune-up to the marathon. The 5K went really well, but when I awoke the next morning for the half, the pain was pretty intense.

Convinced I could push through, I did so and finished the half, though my time was not what I had hoped it would be as dealing with the pain actually made me more tired than I would otherwise have been for

By Mary Margaret McEachern

the given effort.

After a few days off, the pain subsided enough to resume marathon training.

When marathon weekend arrived in November, I was confident that I could get through the challenge of an 8K on Saturday and a marathon on Sunday, but I remained quite aware of the continuing and very frustrating pain in my right leg.

I got through the 8K in fine form and in a good position to place well in the challenge. Once again, however, I awoke the next day feeling a bit sore and concerned about whether my leg would allow me to cover the marathon distance on a relatively tough course with several hilly off-road miles and a gigantic bridge near the finish. Well, I managed, but again due to the nagging pain, the time was nowhere near what I had hoped to run.

After the marathon, I took two weeks completely off. The leg once again felt better as I resumed training for a 1mile/5K/half marathon challenge in March -- I am a glutton for punishment!

Bear in mind, I was still ignoring my doctor's advice regarding therapy. March came, and once again, Saturday went well, with good performances in both the mile and the 5K. When I awoke at the crack of dawn Sunday, I could tell the leg had about had enough, but I pressed through the half, and this time I ran my fastest in years! My leg, however, felt worse than ever, and I had to take considerable time off.

Having reached my breaking point, I decided to finally listen to my doctor and go to physical therapy! What I learned on the first day was that the problem was not actually a running injury at all! My therapist pointed out very logically that muscle and tendon injuries do not last for months with virtually no change in pain level. In fact, the problem was one I had caused over my many years practicing law by too much sitting -- yes, too much sitting! I spent the majority of my workdays slumped over a desk with terrible posture and often, due to time constraints, I would jump up and take my run with virtually no

warm-up. Over time, this lifestyle adversely affected my lumbar spine, thereby causing an intrusion of disk material into my sciatic nerve. This manifested as a literal “pain in the butt,” which ran down my leg and sometimes all the way to my foot! While the injury felt exactly like a combination of hamstring strain, piriformis strain and upper hamstring tendonitis, it was actually a structural lower back problem!

I admit that I was initially quite skeptical of my therapist's determination regarding the source of the pain, but I knew he had worked with numerous runners, and was therefore quite familiar with the “runner's butt” phenomenon. He prescribed various exercises to both increase flexibility and strength in and around my spine and hamstring, and - presto! - after only three weeks of therapy, my pain has magically and almost completely subsided! I've been able to run some really fast speed workouts, and last night I even did my first hill workout since the pain started. I have been afraid for months to run a pace under 7:30, let alone attempt hills, but the other day I was able to complete several 400's at 6:00 pace and the hill work felt wonderful!

I've learned several things from this experience. First, if you have a pesky ache or pain, don't simply ignore it; try to listen to your body and make a well-reasoned decision about whether to train and/or race through it, or take some down time. There is, after all, always another race! Second, if you do decide to see a doctor with the injury, then for heaven's sake heed his/her advice! Third, have surgery only if there are no other options … the body loathes surgery. Fourth, if your doctor prescribes therapy, go! Fifth, do the exercises your therapist prescribes -- I know, this is hard! Finally, keep an open mind; what at first glance might seem to be a common “running injury” could in fact be something more sinister, like a “sitting injury”. Mine was a wake-up call to not only take care of my training and nutritional needs, but to also get off the couch, pay attention to my posture and stop ignoring my spinal “foundation”.

Until next time, I wish you a spring and early summer of happy and healthy running!

Races I Never Ran

By Annie Brennan-Smith

America Was Not Deterred Crossing a race finish line, especially a marathon, is always a victory. That sense of accomplishment, of pride, is something every finisher gets, regardless of his or her time or finishing position.

And sometimes, that finish line means so much more.

As finishers crossed that fabled blue and yellow line on Boylston Street, they crossed for themselves. They crossed for the 264 injured in last year's explosions.

They crossed for the four people who died. They crossed to prove that Boston, that America, is not easily deterred.

Boston was my first experience with a marathon. I had never seen one, never even thought of one, until I started my freshman year of college in the city. This was when the marathon still started at noon, and we packed into Kenmore Square cheering for runners and the Red Sox. It would be five years before I came back to run the Boston Marathon -- I started running three years after that first time watching at the mile-to-go sign -and every second was awesome. I went back again in 2009, but I haven't been back since.

Last year, I spent most of the morning live-tracking friends who were racing.

They were all done by the 3:30 mark, and I went back to actually working. But not for long.

Part of my job legitmately involves Twitter, and it did not take long to hear about the bombings. It was really a pointless day at work. Everyone in our office started checking news reports; some people had friends running the race, others had family who lived in the area. I was checking in on friends, and soon was helping the local paper compile a list of locals there and verifying they were okay.

The school district I work for had at least two teachers running, so we checked on those, too.

This year, many people ran to prove a point. I didn't go mostly because I didn't want to run a spring marathon this year.

And, certainly, we've all seen by now the photos and stories of the bandits this

By Tracy Harris

year who made headlines. Were there more bandits than usual? Possibly, but that's not to say there aren't bandits every year, especially at Boston. Everybody wants to run Boston -- especially this year -- and sometimes they will do less-thanadmirable things.

But those people, like all the runners, had a story for why they wanted to run.

And this year it was bigger than 26 miles, bigger than a BQ, bigger than the country's oldest marathon. Bigger than the 36,000 runners, the 100,000 spectators, the countless bottles of water and discarded gel packs.

Boston is one of those cities that encompasses everything that makes up America. Diverse, proud, old, new -Fanieul Hall to Fenway Park, South Boston to Back Bay. This year, when I watched Boston, I saw everything that makes our country special. Others did, too, and were buoyed by that spirit. Hometown gal Shalane Flanagan made a run for the win and came away with a PR and a strong showing -- and everyone, even non-runners, know that Meb Keflezighi came away with the win. He became the first American man to win since 1983, and it came this year as a resounding exclamation point to the end of our country's statement: Boston Strong.

Tracy Harris is a runner and writer in Louisville, Ky. She runs for the New Balance Louisville team and with national title winning youth team the Derby City Athletic Club. Find her on Twitter at @tfltft or online at tracefh.wordpress.com

A word or two about the ones that got away.

Oddly enough, they were every bit as important as the ones I raced, some even more important. I trained for them with all the dedication, gusto and passion I could muster. In return, I received the gifts of discipline, focus, clarity, and a heightened sense of purpose and peace. I never knew until race day whether I would be at the start line along with everyone else, or not.

Anything can happen, and usually it does.

For example, right knee, like right brain, has a life known only to God. It registers a rise in barometric pressure before meteorologists even know there is one; it has a heat and humidity index built in with a default set to instant inflammation if either one surpasses the day's tolerance range; it gets all red and hot as if swarmed by hornets when junk food is ingested; it doesn't respond well to hyperextension, except when my life is in danger - then I have the elasticity of a rubber band; it dislikes emotional disturbance, mine more than anyone else's, and it can be hunky dory going to bed at night and an inflamed mass of mush when I wake up, as if someone battered it to a pulp all night long. Go figure. Some days I have a hefty share of the magic glue that holds everything together, and some days, it's no closer than Jupiter.

Many races went by the wayside on race day. At the time, it was disappointing to let them go, but they had already given me what I needed, a richer, more focused life, and every one I missed deepened my passion for, and dedication to, the next race.

Annie Brennan-Smith

Nothing was ever wasted. Nothing ever is. Payoffs are routinely delayed by decades, even centuries. Months and years are nothing by comparison. It took all those missed races, as much as the races run, to get me to this moment in time, still racing today. It turns out disappointments are what you make of them. They can be just as easily setbacks or stepping stones to the next accomplishment. Perception is everything.

We could, individually, eradicate disappointment entirely by viewing anything that doesn't work out or come to pass as a positive prod in the right direction. Wonder what that would look like, a world without disappointment?

Which begs the question, how important is it to have dreams materialize at all? Isn't working to make them happen, whether they do or not, the most important thing and what the pursuit of happiness is all about?

After all, nobody gets to know while they are working toward a goal whether they will actually attain it or not. We're all sliding along on faith and footwork.

I don't know if I will make my next race in a few days. I wouldn't want to know - that would spoil the preparation. If I'm not going to make the race, why prepare?

However, if I think I will, I must prepare, and that preparation can be cashed in anytime. It has a shelf life that expires when I do.

Dreams appear to be as flexible as the mind that molds them and as strong as the passion that keeps them alive.

All a mystery to me.

He Said, She Said When did your feet complete a feat?

A spectator positioned at a marathon finish line can expect to witness an expansive array of raw emotions as runners realize their 26.2-mile goal. From the torrent of tears flooding from the eyes of novice runners who never knew the distance was possible, to the joyful elation of veterans achieving victorious personal bests, marathon finish lines are filled with goals achieved and dreams come true.

Few will dispute that finishing a marathon is an accomplishment. Yet, as a runner, you likely realize that running accomplishments reveal themselves in sorted speeds, different distances, and with or without the glory of celebratory finish line applause. They may be aspirations you purposefully set out to achieve or they may be bounties of success surprisingly bestowed as a result of your committed running regimen.

Regardless of the defining framework, you probably remember just how fulfilling that final step felt. This month I ask, when did your feet last complete a gratifying feat?

Rafael Martin beginning his 250-mile Run for Hope

He (Rafael Martin) Said…

“When I finished the 250-mile run I knew that I had accomplished something that few people in the world have done,” 45-year old Rafael Martin said of the five-day run he conceptualized and independently completed in March.

Losing his mother, Ligia Martin to stomach cancer in 2005, Rafael Martin set his sights on doing something dramatic to capture Florida's attention about the epidemic of cancer, while honoring his mother's memory. In 2011, Martin began to toss around the idea of running from Lakeland to Tallahassee to speak to the Governor about increasing funding for cancer research. Having been out of shape and overweight most of his life, Martin was unsure if he could physically tackle the 250-mile feat. Two

By Mary Marcia Brown

years later, he took the plunge, committed to his 250-mile run, and announced his intended journey to commence March 21, 2014.

The days sandwiched between the disclosure of Martin's expected run and the run itself, were saturated with 12-hour per week running, three weekly days strength training, a 50-mile run in December, map questing his course, securing hotel stops along his journey, and some very surprising, untimely, and unwelcomed news just days before the dawning of his inspiring ultra run.

“After I committed to [run the 250 miles], and I announced it in November 2013, I discovered I had prostate cancer on March 5, 2014,” Martin shared.

His spirit undaunted and his intended path undeterred, Martin accepted his diagnosis as the ammunition to fuel his 'personally meaningful'turned-'even more personal' run. Geared with his mother's picture, a purple Tenoroc Titans hat from the high school where he once taught, a cell phone, some spending money, and a backpack full of supplies, Martin began his Lakeland to Tallahassee journey from the parking lot of Polk State College at 6 a.m. on Friday, March 21. Chase Woolman of Positive Body Fitness Center helped sponsor Martin's run and was there to bid him safe and successful travels and witness his very first stride. So. too, were a handful of friends, Martin's pastor, and a Bay News 9 reporter and cameraman.

Yet for the next four full days, Martin trekked alone. Averaging 62 miles per day for four days before finally arriving at the capital on day five, Martin managed the miles with his determina-

www.running.net tion, occasional calls from friends and family who were worried about him, and the assistance of strangers who offered help along the way.

“Floridians asked me what I was doing, [and] offered me food, water, and donations. I was amazed at how nice people were,” Martin recounted.

These gestures were particularly appreciated on the first day of Martin's run when he realized he had underestimated just how much water his body would require to safely endure the day's miles. He ran out of the water supply he was carrying in his backpack, and began to feel the effects of dehydration before he could make it to a store to buy more. His requests for water from both a business and a home along the way were granted. Combined with a brief rest under the shade of a nearby tree, the gifts of water rehydrated and re-energized Martin to continue his journey.

Roadside memorials were impactful reminders of the loss others had weathered as Martin steadfastly trudged the final miles of his own personal pilgrimage in his mother's memory. With a giant blister on his left foot disguised beneath the protective barrier of duct tape, and with a smile to suppress the intense pain of his plight, Martin successfully arrived at the capital on Tuesday, March 25. Governor Rick Scott was not there to meet him, but he did send a message through his Communications Director and the health department.

“They told me that Governor Rick Scott had increased the money for cancer research by 30 million in the new budget,” Martin shared. “I knew I had made an impact.”

While Martin was disappointed that the Governor was not in Tallahassee to meet him in person, he was explicitly clear that the hopeful meeting was not the reason for the run.

“I ran for the memory of my mother, for all of the cancer survivors in Florida, and for myself. I pushed myself past whatever limits I thought I had. I also learned my body's limitations, and when I do another ultra-run I will be better prepared,” Martin said.

As for his next inspiring run, Martin's wheels are already turning. Of course, he will need to successfully recover first from his recent prostate surgery, but Martin is prepared to embrace the challenge and have his feet complete yet another gratifying feat.

“I envision running capital to capital, Tallahassee to Washington D.C., in hopes of meeting the President of the United States. My goal would be to raise awareness about the epidemic of cancer across America, and I would

ask the President to do more to increase funding for cancer research on the federal level,” Martin said.

“It's just a dream, but so was my run to Tallahassee before I did it.”

She (Mary Marcia Brown) Said…

During a recent visit to North Carolina, my feet successfully completed the most gratifying feat of the year. It was not an ultra marathon, a marathon, or even a half marathon. It was a simple 7.5-mile course that simply wasn't that simple.

Let's face it - our feet are fantastically phenomenal to conquer the courses, resiliently recover, and contently consent to taxiing us through additional miles we decide to travel. Yet on any given run, the message for them to move comes from somewhere other than the metatarsal territory. Something from somewhere else, turbo charges our feet to tackle the terrain that lies ahead. Typically, it's the mind.

I marvel at the mind. It is almost magical how our thoughts evoke emotions, our visions construct physical reality, and our mental affirmations beget goals fulfilled. But what happens when the mind is weighted with heavy thoughts, fogged by clouded visions, and afflicted with affirmations of negative mind talk? What fuels our running feet to realize a feat when our minds are filled with DEfeat? I'll take “What is the heart?” for $2000, Alex (TV quiz show).

Have you ever pondered the idea that there are people who “lose their minds” every day, but they endure in running and in life. You may have even had someone tell you that you must have lost your mind for running like you do. Yet without the beat of your heart, you are lifeless.

Without your heart, there is no message to live, and certainly no message to tell your feet to run.

Thankfully, I had a full heart to fuel my recent 7.5-mile NC run with my dad. We ran past cursing cars, barking dogs, and the field of naked pecan trees where we picked a fruitful harvest beneath the crackling leaves of fall more than a year ago. My dad had, had a tough week and so had I. As he ran, his eyes were full of tears, and mine had no more to cry. I reached for his hand and palm in palm we ran past the parade of pecan trees, picking up our pace to jointly realize a real running achievement after a challenging week. It was undeniably a feat turbo charged by the heart.

Post-run, we walked down the long dirt driveway, both drenched in a sweat that seemed to wipe away the week's sullied slate. I thanked my dad for giving me the gift of running that has helped me through some trying chapters and rewarded me during some joyful journeys. The most joyful have been the ones shared with him.

As we approach this month's Father's Day, I want him to know in his mind and in his heart how very important he is to me. The weight of the world may try to threaten the magical mystery of the mind, but with full hearts our feet move us forward. And if we are lucky, they are laced in running shoes and prepared to complete gratifying feats with the ones we love the most.

Running Fitness Senior fitness includes resting, exercise One of the most amazing things I've read about Kenyan marathoner's training is not their training, but the way they don't train, that part of our training regimen we know begrudgingly as that dirty word, “rest.”

What shocked me was the amount of time dedicated to rest. I read that it is common practice to literally sit on a couch and watch TV for several months until training begins again. Kenyan marathoners couch potatoes?

Seriously? With medical care as we know it in the western world not readily available everywhere else, rest is nature's way there, of taking care of aches and pains on the road to recovery.

If these kinds of pros are taking the summer off, what can that mean for us in Florida? I'm imagining that most of us won't feel like heading for the couch.

All the books on senior fitness I've read say less can be more. Many of us used to run every day -- or perhaps you still do. Maybe we took one or two rest days. But the jury seems to be weighing in on mixing it up. As a personal trainer, rule one, besides eating that carb and protein snack within an hour of an intense workout, is giving muscles at least 48 hours to recover and rebuild. Delayed onset muscle soreness, that pain that makes you take note 2-3 days after a big race wondering, “Where's that pain coming from?” can be minimized by not overdoing too soon after a big event. One coach I know says to take off a day for every mile you do in a race.

To mix it up, cycling works well in the cross-training world because you use your leg muscles, but not the way you do with running. In my own informal poll, the fastest runners I know also bike. Make sure to get the bike fitted to your frame at a bike store. If you don't, you can end up with knee pain from not being positioned correctly. When you pedal, you want to have a very slight bend in the knee, but not too much.

Now that the summer is almost here, the Gulf and ocean waters are already optimal for some of us. There's nothing like jumping into the water after a run. Some runners swear by the inflammation-absorbing properties of the salt water. If you live close to water, bike to your run, and then jump in for your own personal triathlon. Runners being the impatient souls that we are, love to find ways to maximize our workout and times.

Don't forget weight training a time or two at least during the week. It increases your muscle strength as well as oxygen uptake. Weight bearing exercise is one of the top recommendations to combat and prevent osteoporosis.

The jury is out on how much to weight train a runner's lower body. Some say it is not needed. Others say squats and lunges are good.

Personally, I do walking lunges twisting from the waist and free weight squats. I always used to have knee pain doing them, but once I learned proper form and got orthotics to correct my runner's knee, the knee pain vanished.

The key with both exercises is never letting your knee extend farther than your toes.

By Ellen Jaffe Jones

Pretend like you're sitting down on a chair. Another trick is to use a large ball on the small of your back and press against a wall.

Where I live, we are fortunate to have yoga offered on a donation basis almost every day on the beach. There is nothing quite like yoga on a peaceful beach. Our neighborhood has a kayaking club. That's a great way to work the upper body, which runners often neglect, and get vitamin D at the same time, another component in the race for strong bones. A strong upper body helps us use our arms to aid in propulsion. It also keeps our shoulders and back in optimal position to support our hardworking lungs.

Learning from the Young Guns Boston Strong This month is a departure from my typical monthly running advice. I was fortunate to be a part of the Boston Marathon several weeks ago and the experience expanded my view of our sport. I spent the better part of my running life attempting to get every ounce out of my body (my left hip will attest to this). I prided myself on competing fiercely every time out -- don't we all? Today I spend most of my time working with professional runners who compete against the best in the world. The competitive side of running has shaped me as an athlete and a coach.

The allure of running, though, is that it doesn't require the absolute dedication of a professional athlete or world-class talent to be competitive and strive for improvement. That communal spirit of struggle and achievement is what brought 1 million people to the streets of Boston to cheer on the marathoners, and it's what kept them there hours after Meb Keflezighi became the first American man to win the race in 31 years. They were cheering on Meb and the other top athletes, but they were also cheering on their friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors. Competitiveness and dedication were on full display in Boston, which you could clearly see etched in the faces of the 36,000 participants.

However, the Boston Marathon, this year more than most, was more than just competition. It was a shared celebration of achievement between participants and those cheering alongside the course. This year it was a cathartic celebration of different proportions, but perhaps in the most fitting tribute possible, it felt a lot like a typical Patriot's Day in Boston.

Several years removed from my competitive running days, I was inspired to run the marathon by cheering on the course last year and witnessing the incredible spirit of the race. My decision was forged in the aftermath of the bombings and the groundswell of support surrounding the recovery. This race would be different for me though, I wouldn't be targeting a specific time, I was simply running to experience the spirit of Boston and contribute whatever amount of support and resilience I could by participating.

In the interest of full disclosure, running a race for fun is not something I had ever embraced or felt comfortable with.

By Ryan Warrenburg, ZAP Fitness

There has always been a little part of me that never understood why someone would run a race and not put forth a race effort. I mean, that's why they call it a race right?

I traveled up to Boston with a group of local runners from Boone, NC. Some of us were running for fun, some were running with the hopes of turning in a PR. It was the first time I've traveled to a race as an athlete or a coach and not been fueled by competition. And it was strangely enjoyable. We coordinated a group run with ZAP friends Sunday morning and chatted our way down the Charles River before showering and meeting a larger group of ZAP supporters at a local restaurant. I made the comment during our gathering that I couldn't think of a better place and a better time to get everyone together and share time. And then it hit me; the experience was akin to going home for the holidays and seeing old friends. The shared experience and community is what makes our sport so special. The communal experience of running is shared by millions of people around the country, many of whom were out on the course either running or cheering in Boston.

I'd never taken the time to enjoy that communal experience during the course of a race until this year. I'd never understood the value of taking time to enjoy the experience of a race outside competition.

As I ran with friends over the first few miles of the course, I noticed a sign with the words of 8-year old Richard Martin on it, “No more hurting people. Peace.�

Richard was the youngest victim of last year's bombings, and his memory, along with those of the other victims, was celebrated to the best of Boston's ability. It gave greater meaning to our run, and it was emotional to be reminded of such

tragedy. But for everyone there, and everyone watching, the triumphant spirit of the race carried the day, as it always has in Boston. I know several runners who, despite having rough days, stayed on the course when they otherwise might have dropped out because finishing this race meant more. Giving up wasn't an option, not on a day dedicated to the resilience of a community.

We ran past the various college campuses, kissing the Wellesley College coeds and doling out high fives until our hands stung. I ate orange slices from kids on the street, tapped people's “slap here for more power� signs, and came dangerously close to taking a beer from a Boston University student at mile 17. I ran down Boylston Street with Zika, ZAP cofounder, and my partner in qualifying last fall in Erie. We whooped up the crowd, and despite most of my body protesting, relished the moment. As simple as it seems, that was something new for me. I had developed an appreciation for participating.

Don't get me wrong; there is great value to competing. You find out more about yourself in the final mile of a race than in many other places, and the struggle is what makes the victory so sweet.

Sometimes though, it's worth stopping to smell the roses‌ or in this case, kiss a Wellesley girl.

Editing Note: In my April article on building a training program I gave an example of what a 6 week training block might look like using the 2 weeks up/1 week down format. The example should have been the following weekly mileage numbers: 20, 24, 22, 27, 30, 24. I apologize for the confusion.

EAT WELL, RUN WELL

Carbohydrates: Why are they so confusing?

Don’t let Carbohydrates seem to be a source of confusion for marathoners and fitness joggers alike.

Due to the Paleo Diet, Grain Brain, Wheat Belly, and other trendy diet books, many runners don't know what to eat. They just think they should avoid pasta, bagels, juice, bananas and sugar --even if these foods are non-problematic for them. Yet, most of the carbs are evil, fattening and bad for you hype is targeted not to runners but to the masses of overfat, underfit people whose bodies do not handle carbohydrates as healthfully.

What are “carbs”?

Some runners are confused about carbs because they do not even know what carbohydrates are. One marathoner claimed he “stayed away from carbs.” Yet, he routinely ate oatmeal for breakfast, whole wheat wraps for lunch, and sweet potato with dinner. He failed to understand that oatmeal, wraps, and potatoes are carbohydrates. He was actually limiting his intake of refined sugars; there is a big difference! Here's what he needed to know about Carb Biochemistry 101: • Carbohydrates include both sugars and starches. Carbs are in fruits, vegetables, grains, and milk (lactose). These carbs all digest into the simple sugar glucose. Glucose travels in the blood and, with the help of insulin, is taken up for fuel by the muscles.

Runners who restrict carbs pay the price -“dead legs” and inability to perform at their best.

• All carbs -- both sugars and starches -- are equal sources of muscle fuel. Regardless of whether you eat a starchy potato or sugary candy, the end product is the simple sugar glucose. Some of that glucose feeds your brain; some of it fuels your muscles; and some gets stored in muscles as glycogen, ready to be used for fuel during hard and extended exercise.

• Sugars and starches are biochemically similar. For example, an unripe banana (or any fruit) is starchy. As it ripens, it becomes sweeter; the starch converts into sugar. In comparison, peas (and other vegetables) are sweet when young and their sugar converts into starch as they mature.

Are carbs bad for you?

Regarding health, some carbs are better for you than others because they offer more nutrients. For example, the sugar in sport drinks provides "empty calories" with no nutritional value (unless they are fortified to give a healthier appearance). The sugar in orange juice is accompanied with vitamin C, folate, potassium, and many other vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds that contribute to good health.

While juice offers slightly less nutritional value than you'd get by eating the whole fruit, most anti-juice hype is targeted at overfat people. Liquid calories from juice, soda and sports drinks do not contribute to satiety (fullness).

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

Hence, drinking sugary beverages with meals adds extra calories that can contribute to undesired weight gain. Yet, for active people who want to gain weight, juice can help a skinny runner easily boost calorie intake while simultaneously adding carbs for fuel that enhances muscle-building workouts.

Even though refined sugar adds “junk calories” to a sports diet, you need not eat a sugarfree diet to have a good diet. A fit and healthy runner's menu can accommodate 10 percent of calories from refined sugar (World Health Organization's guidelines). Yet, if you frequently consume sports drinks, gels, and sports candies-as well as other sweets-you can easily consume more than 250 to 350 calories (10 percent of calories) from refined sugar.

Please don't displace too many fruits, veggies and whole grains with empty calories from sugar.

What about high fructose corn syrup?

High fructose corn syrup (HFCS), also deemed evil and fattening, is less evil and less fattening than portrayed by the media (1).

(Ninety percent of 567 media reports on HFCS since 2004 replaced science with opinion and were biased to the erroneous (2).) HFCS is a double molecule comprised of 45 percent glucose, 55 percent fructose -- the same as honey and similar to white sugar (50 percent glucose, 50 percent fructose). The negative hype about HFCS applies primarily to overweight folks who consume excessive calories of sweets, soda, candies and processed foods sweetened with HFCS. While no one needs excessive, lack-luster calories that could be better spent on nutrient-rich fruits, veggie and whole grains, does an athlete really need to fret about a few calories of HFCS in ketchup?

Are carbs fattening?

Despite popular belief, carbohydrates are not inherently fattening. Excess calories are fattening. Excess calories of carbs (bread, bagels, pasta) are actually less fattening than

are excess calories of fat (butter, salad oil, cheese). That's because storing excess calories of sugar as body fat requires more energy than does storing excess calories of dietary fat as body fat. This means, if you are destined to be gluttonous and want to suffer the least weight gain, indulge in (high carb) frozen yogurt instead of (high fat) ice cream!

What about sugar “highs” and “lows”?

Sugar “highs” and “lows” can easily occur in overfat, underfit people. Most runners, however, can metabolize sugar without problems.

That's because exercise enhances the transport of sugar from your blood into your muscles with far less insulin than needed by the body of an unfit person. The unfit body contributes to the rise in blood sugar that triggers the need for excess insulin and leads to the “crash.”

The most common reason for “sugar crashes” (hypoglycemia) among runners relates to running out of fuel. The shakiness and sweats are because the athlete did not eat enough carbs to maintain normal blood glucose levels and the brain is now demanding sugar. One marathoner thought the 100-calorie gel he took at mile 16 caused him to “crash.” More likely, he needed 200 to 300 calories to meet his energy needs, not just 100 calories.

You are an experiment of one If you have intestinal distress relating to wheat, gels, onions, milk or any of a multitude of fruits, veggies and grains, your best bet is to figure out how much (if any) you can tolerate.

The dose might be the poison. If you need to eliminate wheat due to celiac disease or gluten intolerance, you might have trouble getting enough carbs to fuel your muscles. That is, you'd need to eat three cups of blueberries to replace one bagel. Not only is that expensive, but also puts you at high risk for undesired pit stops. Consulting with a registered dietitian (RD) can be a smart idea! The referral network at SCANdpg.org can help you find a local sports RD who can address your food concerns and take the confusion out of carbohydrates.

Running Psychology The Post-Race Let Down: Now What?

You trained all winter for the “big” race.

Maybe it was a marathon, Boston even, maybe it was an ultra, or maybe it was the local festival 5K. The point is, you worked really hard and put a lot of physical and emotional energy into preparing for the race. Your race has been run and you feel really happy with your time and finish place. In fact you are exhilarated and on a natural “high.” The hard training was all worth it. Maybe you finished your first marathon, ran a new PR, or simply participated in your first race. It really doesn't matter, you just feel really good after the race. Gosh, running is great!

It may take a few hours or a few days, but ultimately the high wears off. In the days following a personally important race you may actually begin to feel down.

Emotionally, you feel flat and may even begin to wonder what comes next with your running. You might have a great deal of fatigue and soreness and you wonder if it was all really worth it. Strangely, the postrace letdown seems to be bigger after a really outstanding performance. I have even

By Richard Ferguson, Ph.D.

heard runners who have had really good performances feel “disappointed” soon after a race. It's as if you look so forward to the big race for so long that afterward you realize that the race is over, yet you are the same person, whether you had a great race or a poor race.

In reality, when you point your training to a big race you make a large emotional investment of yourself in that race. You commit yourself to preparation for a long period of time and you commit yourself to a hard effort during the race. Not only does

and gentle running and stretching will speed recovery. There are also a number of things you can do to speed your emotional recovery following a big race.

In the days following an emotionally draining event you may want to follow a pattern of active rest. In a period of active rest try to exercise some, but change it up from what you would normally do. If you do some light running or jogging do it at a different time of a day and in a different location from your normal training. Give your mind a rest by getting out of any training rut you may have developed before your big race. You may even take a few days off and not run at all. Instead ride your bike, take a walk, or just do some light activity that you didn't have time for leading up to the race. Give both your body and mind a break.

Be sure to give yourself plenty of positive reinforcement in the days following an important race. Maybe you had hoped to run a little better or maybe you didn't reach a specific goal you had set. Remind yourself that you prepared well and you gave a good effort in the race. Always be proud of a great effort and simply try to learn from any mistakes you think you made both in training and during the race. Move on and always have pride when you give your beseffort, because in reality, your best effort is all you can ask of yourself. Treat yourself Continued on page 24

training and racing make you physically tired, training and racing makes you mentally tired, especially training for and racing a long race, like a marathon, to your physical and mental limit. I can remember during the 1980s when I was running sub-2:20 marathons that I would often feel physically recovered in a couple of weeks after a race, yet it was very difficult for me to feel emotionally prepared to invest an all-out effort in another marathon for many weeks afterward. Many runners I consult with today are concerned that they just don't have the emotional interest to train after an important race. They feel fine physically, but it seems as though they need time to recover emotionally as well. So having an emotional letdown following a race is really not unusual. The big question is how can you avoid letting the post-race blues negatively affect your running and life in general?

One thing that can really improve your mental outlook following a big race is to be sure you do everything in your power to recover physically. When your body is tired and sore it's very difficult to feel up and energetic about things. That's one of the reasons why chronically overtrained runners often suffer with symptoms of clinical depression. While it's beyond the scope of this article to cover physical recovery in detail, certainly eating the proper diet, staying well hydrated, getting plenty of sleep

But how many of us President, can look over at our running partner and Lakeland Runners see the spitting image of ourselves? Twin Club brothers Ben and Drew Martucci have been there for each other through countless miles on the roads and track and now in the coaching world.

It all started in the seventh grade at Parrott Middle School in Brooksville, FL, each other, we just wanted to take first when the brothers joined the school track and second at each race we ran, “ said

Twin brothers Ben (L) and Drew (R) during their senior Cross Country season at Florida Southern College.

team and posted times in the mile around 5:15. In those early days Drew would finish a little ahead of Ben. By the time the boys started their freshman year at Hernando High School, Ben was battling for the number one spot on the team with Drew in the top 5. From their sophomore years until graduation, Ben ran in the top spot followed by Drew in the number 2 spot. They didn't, however, see it as a brotherly rivalry or competition.

“We would train and do certain workouts together, pushing each other to do our best, “ said Ben of their high school days.

“We weren't so concerned with beating

Drew.

When it came time to consider the next step after high school, they said 80% of it was their parents wanting them to stay together, but the brothers were excited to continue their running success together in college as well. They landed at Division II, Florida Southern College in Lakeland, FL, and the success did continue. Their FSC teams won the Sunshine State Conference title every year they were there and the regional title their freshman year. They also made three trips to nationals.

Just like in high school, Ben was competing for the top spot and won the conference championship his junior and sen-

www.running.net ior years while Drew was contributing to the team and trying to stay healthy from injuries.

After college years were over and it was time to move onto their careers, running was still in their hearts and minds and both ended up in the world of coaching.

“By the time I was in my senior year of college, I knew how to train myself better than my own coach did. I knew if I could do it for myself, I could do it for others,” said Drew. He had brief coaching stints at Hernando High School in Brooksville, and Teneroc High School in Lakeland before landing at Plant City High School in Plant City, FL. “I got accustomed to having one stud runner, but one stud will not make a program,” said Drew. “My hall of fame high school coach, Ernie Chapman, taught me it takes three to four years to build a good solid program and that is what we are working on now.”

Ben's path in coaching went in a slightly different direction. “I knew I always wanted to coach college and work with runners more on the elite side of things, “ said Ben. And that's just what he did in accepting the job at his alma mater, Florida Southern College, less than a year after graduating.

He was now coaching some runners who were once his teammates, but the transition for him was easy and he felt some of the athletes had more issues at first with him coaching them than he did as being their coach. The new lines were quickly established and everyone understood their roles.

Success came quickly and in Ben's second season as coach, his cross country team won the 2013 conference and regional title and placed 27th at nationals.

Ben was named the conference and region Coach of the Year. Not bad considering he had only graduated less than two years before.

The twins are both very happy with where they are and, while they are still young, they have a good idea of where they want to end up.

“I'm happy where I am, so I'm good to stay and build a lasting program,” said Drew of his future.

Ben is also happy with his current job saying, “I like coaching at my alma mater and staying in Lakeland. A Division I job could be somewhere down the road, but I'm happy here.”

Running Psychology Continued from page 23 like your best friend would treat you. Don't put yourself down with a lot of negative self-talk. Also, try to surround yourself with running friends that give you lot's of social support as well.

Work to hang on to those good feelings and good images you had following the race. Learn to savor your races like a fine wine, especially the good ones! If you do feel a little down in the days following a big race, try to recall that special feeling you had when you crossed the finish line or those feelings of happiness when you told your friends how you finished. Visualize the positive parts of your race again to bring back the positive emotions you felt, both during and after the race. Remembering the good aspects of a race can lead to many positive running emotions years after a race has been run.

In the days and weeks following a big race not only should you savor the outcome, but you should also begin to think about some new races to run and some new goals to strive for. A good way to get yourself into future goal setting is to do a little self-evaluation of your past race to determine if there are any areas in your training and racing that could be improved upon.

Some common questions that you may ask yourself might be things like; were you tired before your race or were you full of energy? Did you feel relaxed or tense during the race? Was your concentration good in the race? Were you thinking in the present? Did you use positive self-talk in the race or were you negative with yourself?

Did you follow your race plan? Did your mental state help or hurt you during your training and in the race? If you had to run the race again is there anything you would do differently to improve your performance? Once you have answered some postrace evaluation questions you will be better prepared to begin thinking about some new races and setting specific training and racing goals.

Post-race letdowns are a natural part of running and racing, so when a letdown does occur, don't be freaked out. The letdown is a way your mind recovers from an event that required extreme concentration and emotional investment. Remember that you need emotional recovery, not just physical recovery after an important race. Just work on trying to limit the post race blues so they won't effect your enjoyment in training for, and racing another important event in the future.

SOUTHEASTERN ROAD RACE RESULTS Boston Returns "Boston Strong" How can one begin to tell the story of the 118th Boston Marathon? Race director Dave McGillivray stated it was "an epic race for the ages." This year's race was about recovery, healing, processing, planning and executing.

The execution was flawless. The pressure to stage this year's event was immense but Boston and over 10,000 volunteers got it done.

A record 99 percent of the 32,408 starters finished (32,344) despite 3763 requiring medical assistance with 192 transported to area hospitals and 20 staying overnight. It was all about taking back the finish line and getting across it.

The crowds were incredible. They were lined 10-20 deep at some points and the cheering was deafening. There was not a place along the 26.2 mile course without supportive spectators.

The day changed from perfect weather to a very warm, sunny day. But that would not stop anyone. Spectators provided oranges, bananas, candy, frozen ices, impromptu water stops and even bottled water. Beer was even available in several places. People cheered for hours from the wheelchair races to the back of the pack.

The emotions of the day reached a pinnacle when Meb Keflezighi took back the Boston Marathon with a win for the USA after a 31-year drought. Keflezighi began training for this on April 15, 2013 shortly after the bombs detonated and wore the names of those who died on his race bib. He stated " this is the most meaningful victory of my life." This comes from the only man to win New York, Boston and an Olympic medal. He utilized visualization especially on his mechanics and focus and used the noise of the crowd to get him up the Newton hills. His lead dwindled to 5.3 seconds but he ran with his heart and using a variety of mind games found that extra gear to take the victory, the laurel wreath and the $150,000 check.

Sports unite everyone and on this monumental day there were great strides taken for U.S. distance running. Spectators actually made signs to let the runners on the course know "MEB WON."Three U.S. men were in the top 10.

On the women's side Shalane Flanagan set a wickedly fast pace from the gun and led until the hills began. Her strategy was to get out by herself and run 2:22. Yet she was never able to get away as a pack stayed with her and three broke away as the hills began. Rita Jeptoo blazed along the course destroying the course record by two minutes. The first three women broke the record. Flanagan ran her 2:22:02 and was seventh. Desi Linden's 2:23:54 was good for 10th. Four additional U.S. women finished in the top 20 with times that would have placed them higher in any other year.

Jeptoo was gracious with her third win and was able to celebrate her 2013 win as well as this year's. She was not comfortable with the

early, fast pace but she has great respect for Flanagan and was determined to stay with her until she made her move to the front. Jeptoo took home $175,000.

Boston rose this day after Easter to take back the marathon and unite the entire community.

The 30 plus thousand at the start were handled with magnificent efficiency. The waves went off on schedule, clothes were discarded and bagged, and the course stayed full the entire way. Runners encouraged each other and spectators made a variety of signs to entertain the runners. There was a lot of cramping and blisters but everyone was willing to do whatever it took to get to the finish line.

There will never be another race like the 118th Boston Marathon. Everyone who took part, in whatever capacity, will always have a piece and memory of the most special day in distance running. Boston is indeed "Boston Strong" and it was an epic race for the ages.

MARSOC Mud, Sweat & Tears 5 mile mud run Camp Lejeune, NC – 4/26 Morethan 1,600 mud loving fanatics (50 percent women) stepped up to the call when the MARSOC Mud, Sweat & Tears posed the question, “Are you tough enough?” Runners tested their strength, endurance, and commitment as they struggled to pull themselves out of chest deep mud pits over a grueling 5-mile course set among the same trails Marines from the elite Special Operations Command use daily.

Mud-caked runners helped pull and push their fellow runners through chest deep mud where the suction was so strong that many runner’s shoes were pulled off their feet. Some runners left their shoes as a memento of their foray into the Marine tough grounds, lost despite layers of duct tape wrapped around their feet.

Throughout the course, runners gave words of motivation and encouragement to their fellow runners. Many using the Marine Corps motivational “OohRah!” Some shouts came from Marines cheering from the sidelines.

Being set on a fully-functioning, major military installation gives the Grand Prix Series its uniqueness. Runners are able to compete with America’s toughest fighting force, the United States Marines; run on Marine training trails, and to experience a taste of the Marine Corps lifestyle and their values.

Barefoot, sock-clad or still with their shoes on, each finisher was given their MARSOC metal by a uniformed Marine with a heart-felt appreciation for those who weathered the tough course.

The top male overall finisher, Jason Kut from Camp Lejeune, completed the course in 30:44.

Finishing out the top five males were Michael Siringer, 30:51, David Bates, 32:32, William Hohmeier, 33:16, and Felix Santana, 33:23.

The top female overall finisher, Marilyn Sixto, Havelock, NC, completed the course in 38:42.

Finishing out the top five females were: Jane Greene, 40:46, Brandy Humphrey, 40:48, Bianca Ruano, 42:21, and Sarah Burns, 42:28.

The MARSOC Mud, Sweat & Tears is one of seven races that make up the Semper Fit Grand Prix Series that is held aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and the surrounding area.

Three of the “extreme races” in the series (Xtreme Endurance, St. Paddy’s Engineer Challenge, and MARSOC Mud, Sweat & Tears) are held on Marine training trails. The series also includes the mostly fun but tough SandSational 8K Beach Run, the official Marine Corps Half Marathon, the Remembrance Run, and the holiday themed Santa Shuffle 5K which completes the season. Runners compete for points in each of the races and at the end of the series, the Grand Prix Series champions are crowned.

SOUTH CAROLINA Cooper River Bridge Run 10K Charleston, SC – 4/5 It was warm and very humid at 64 degrees and 94 percent humidity for the start of the 37th annual Cooper River Bridge Run. Times were slower as a result for both the elite runners and everyone else as 31,860 finishers (up 401 from last year) could tell you. There were 38,472 entrants this year. Security had been increased noticeably for the race due to last year’s Boston Marathon tragedy, but most runners were not bothered by it, and were glad; one said she “felt safe” because of it.

It was a good year for Ethiopian runners as they took five of the top 10 positions in both the male and female divisions. Birhan Nebebew who is only l9, broke from the lead pack in the final stretch to win the $10,000 first prize in 28:39, three seconds ahead of Mourad Marofit from Morroco. Defending race champion Simon Ndirangu of Kenya who led the race

SOUTHEASTERN ROAD RACE RESULTS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 29 through 5k which he reached at 14:55, said he felt the wind was too strong going up the bridge and he faded from contention.

Azmera Gebru, 21 of Ethiopia was female winner in 32:14, six seconds ahead of fellow Ethiopian Etalemhu Habtewold.

Four-time Boston and New York City Marathon winner Bill Rodgers ran the race, though not competitively due to a hamstring problem. He and well known Charleston area runner Bob Schlau ran the race together.

Rodgers attracted a lot of attention and spread a lot of good will with his friendly manner. He said “It’s a very interesting course. A beautiful Bridge.”

In addition to the prize money division, the Bridge Run presented awards three deep in each age group with an additional top five percent award presented in each age group up to a maximum of 25. For a complete list of finishers including age group winners, see the Results section of the Running Journal website (www.running.net).

Divas Half Marathon/5K North Myrtle Beach, SC – 4/27

another beautiful day in South Carolina as almost 5,000 women, and a handful of men, took to the streets of North Myrtle Beach encountering some of the Grand Strand’s most historical areas.

Michelle Hazelton from Charlotte, NC, won the half marathon in a time of 1:25:05, followed by Erin-Kate Aleksak from Mount Pleasant, SC, who placed second overall with a time of 1:26:44. Jennifer Meyer, from Wilmington, NC, came in third with a time of 1:30:14.

The Divas® 5K participants were led by Becky Dougherty from Mount Pleasant, SC, who took first place with a time of 22:04. Kyla Ford and Tracy Snow, both from Galax, VA, placed second and third respectively with times of 22:53 and 22:55.

The weekend’s events would not have been complete without the infamous feather boa and tiara station. Ideally positioned right before the finish, runners were able to cross the finish line in style. Not only were handsome hunks awaiting the lucky finishers with blinged-out medals in hand, but The Traveler Beer Company introduced their Curious Traveler Shandy to all participants at the finish line beer garden.

Special thanks to House of Blues for lining up the course entertainment, the City of North Myrtle Beach, the North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce, Visit Myrtle Beach for their support and McLeod Seacoast Hospital for their medical assistance.
