He Said, She Said How Does Your Outlook Affect your Outcome?

Pessimists not only see the emptiness in half a glass of perfectly chilled Perrier, they also see the clouds in an otherwise sun-topped blue sky, the thorns beneath fragrant silky rose petals, and the hole in a hot doughy whole grain bagel. Opportunities persist as pessimists' unwelcome challenges, and when one of their doors closes they'll stay stuck in one place until the foot they have on the banana peel joins the other one already in the grave.

Conversely, optimists might wash down a bite of bagel with a sip from their half-full glass of sparkling water, while solidly standing in a room with one door closed but the window open, allowing the sun to shine light on a day of possibilities they intend to explore after taking time to smell the roses.

The actuality of the objects surrounding the pessimist and the optimist are seldom different, but the glasses through which they view them are definitely disparate. Much like the description of how fast or slow one runs, how hilly or flat a course might be, or whether a race is desirable or unattractive, the answer you get will likely depend on who you ask and the results you experience might well be determined by what you expect. This month I ask, as a runner, how do you think your outlook affects your outcome?

Brian Teason

He (Brian Teason) said…

“Attitude and positivity are the groundwork for all successful outcomes,” runner Brian Teason said. Any runner interested in successful outcomes when it comes to the sport, would likely benefit from deliberating Teason's opinion, as his running resume is equally as impressive and inspiring as is his optimism toward running and life.

In February of 1983, Teason opted to go out with his marathon-running father and his father's friends instead of working out at the gym. After running nine miles that Sunday morning, Teason continued what has been more than a 30-year running relationship that has rewarded him with continually renewed outlooks and jaw-dropping accolades that might move one to lace up for another 15 miles

By Mary Marcia Brown

“After over 30 years, [running] is as much 'what I am' as 'something I do',” Teason said.

The outstanding outcomes he has experienced in large part because of his positive outlook, make Teason's relationship with running easy to understand.

“It is my great passion and I find joy and peace every step of my journey.”

She (Mary Marcia Brown) said …

even after completing the day's intended run.

Among his PRs are: 50K 2:59:05, 50 Mile 5:23:41, 100k 7:02:14, 100 Mile 15:02:30 and running 139 miles in 24 hours. He was the 1997 and 1998 U.S. National 50 Mile Road Champion, the 1997 U.S. National 50 Mile Trail Champion, and a Member of the U.S. 100K Team at World Championships. He is also currently the U.S. Age Group 50-54 100 Mile Road Record Holder which he completed last year in 15:02:30.

Teason said that he uses positive thinking and positive quotes to make his way through running and in life.

“I believe that it is attitude and how we deal with adversity that control outcome. There was a time when I viewed things differently, now I view my less than desired results as opportunities to learn and grow. In running, racing and life, things do not always go as planned and as we hoped; we need to learn from these experiences and use them as tools for our development,” Teason said.

Combined with his average of 150 training miles each week, Teason intends to use his optimistic outlook to realize more running goals in the near and distant future. In addition to running happily and healthfully for the rest of his life, Teason wants to continue to improve at 100 mile and 24 Hour distances, set some all-time U.S. Age Group records, and try the 48-hour and maybe even 6-day race. “My fantasy goal is to run across the country,” Teason shared.

Witnessing Teason's positivity, one would have little doubt that a cross-country accomplishment is certainly in his cards. Of course Teason understands that it is often how the cards are viewed that determines the winning hand, and he acknowledges that sometimes (at an initial glance), the numbers may not appear to line up.

“When things in life begin to look bleak, I tend to look within and reflect. I remind myself that it is probably the way I am viewing the situation that is the problem. I step back, reflect and try to discover what about the situation is causing me discomfort and what can I learn from it. I might meditate or breathe to recenter or seek out a book or article that reminds me of a philosophy on life that will help me through the difficult circumstances.

Of course, I might just go for a run, preferably a long run and let all thoughts just pass through me without judgment and come back with a fresh perspective,” he said.

Both of the words “outlook” and “outcome” elicit thoughts and feelings of future for me.

Thoughts of how the future will look, feel, and be dominate much of our lives. Whether we find our thoughts about the future to be woeful or hopeful often depends on our interpretation of past events.

As runners, we are often asked to think about the future, particularly when we hear questions from others (or even from our own inner thoughts) that ask, “How far are you going to run?” “How fast are you going to run?” or “How long are you going to run?” We sometimes refer to past runs to determine what we deem to be appropriate responses as we consider how far, fast, or long we've run before.

For years, we have been encouraged to “visualize the finish line victory.” We have been taught to think about the completion of the race before the gun even cues its start. I often practiced that positive visualization of hopeful finishes. I imagined what the finish line clock would read, how I would kick to the finish, and how I would feel afterwards. The outcomes were varied - sometimes similar to what I had envisioned, sometimes better, and sometimes worse.

Regardless of the outcome, I seldom saw little detriment in embracing an optimistic outlook - as long as I could healthfully distinguish between a hope and an expectation. Someone once said that too many people miss the silver lining because they are expecting gold. I happen to really appreciate silver, so I take that lesson to heart.

I also take the teachings of Tolle to heart. If we are entrenched in thoughts of the past or expectations of the future, we are likely missing the beauty of the present moment. Instead of thinking about your last PR and how you will better it in your next race, enjoy every stride as you stride, and be grateful for what it unveils. Maybe the outcome will be a “first place finish” or maybe it will be a “lagging last place”. You can create your own label or leave it a label-less experience. Either way, you will have been present in every step that leads you to the finish line and post-race refreshments. Which, by the way, may very likely include some bagels and a half-full cup of water.

Do you ever get tired of reading yet-another headline about The 10 Best Super Sports Foods, only to be instructed to buy exotic fruits, ancient grains, and other unusual items? Do runners really need chia, spelt, and quinoa? Is anything wrong with old-fashioned peanut butter, broccoli and brown rice?

Doubtful! Powerful nutrients are found in standard foods that are readily available at a reasonable cost. You know, oranges, bananas, berries, oatmeal, almonds, hummus, lowfat yogurt, brown rice, tuna ... the basic, wholesome foods recommended by the government's My Plate (www.ChooseMyPlate.gov). Are those foods exotic? No. But do they still do a great job of offering super nutrition? Yes! To add to the confusion about exotic sports foods, the sports food industry touts their list of engineered super sports supplements. Ads lead you to believe you really need to buy these products to support your athletic performance. The question arises: Are there special nutrients or components of food that can really help runners to go faster, higher, or stronger? If so, can they be consumed in the form of whole foods or do we actually need special commercial supplements?

At a 2014 meeting of Professionals in Nutrition for Exercise and Sport (PINESNutrition.org), exercise researchers from around the globe discussed that topic and provided the following answers to the following thought-provoking questions.

Is there any difference between consuming pre-exercise caffeine in the form of pills, gels or coffee?

Regardless of the source of caffeine (pill, gel, coffee), it is a popular way to enhance athletic performance. Take note: High doses of caffeine (2.5 to 4 mg/lb body weight; 6 to 9 mg/kg) are no better than the amount runners typically consume (1.5 mg/lb; 3 mg/kg). Hence, drinking an extra cup of coffee is unlikely to be advantageous, particularly when consumed later in the day before an afternoon workout and ends up interfering with sleep.

Do tart (Montmorency) cherries offer any benefits to sports performance? If so, what's the best way to consume them?

Tart cherries (and many other deeply colored fruits and veggies) are rich in health-protective antioxidants and polyphenols.

Tart cherries can reduce inflammation, enhance post-exercise recovery, repair muscles, reduce muscle soreness, and improve sleep. Runners who are training hard, doing double workouts, or traveling through time zones would be wise to enjoy generous portions. Yet, to get the recommended dose of cherries that researchers use to elicit benefits, you would need to eat 90 to 110 cherries twice a day for seven days pre-event. Most runners prefer to swig a shot of cherry juice concentrate instead!

What about food polyphenols such as quercetin and resveratrol?

Polyphenols are colorful plant compounds that are linked with good health when they are consumed in whole foods. Yet, polyphenol supplements, such as quercetin or resveratrol, do not offer the same positive anti-oxidant or anti-inflammatory benefits. An explanation might be that once in the colon, where most polyphenols go, parts leak into the bloodstream during heavy exercise. These smaller compounds create the antiinflammatory effect. Athletes who routinely eat colorful fruits during endurance training offer their gut the opportunity to distribute good health!

Does curcumin reduce chronic inflammation?

Curcumin (an active constituent of tumeric, the spice that gives the yellow color to curry and mustard) has beneficial properties that have been shown to help prevent cancer, enhance eye health, and reduce inflammation. Subjects with osteoarthritis (an inflammatory condition) who took curcumin supplements for 8 months reported less pain (due to less inflamma-

tion) and better quality of life. Unfortunately, curcumin is rapidly metabolized and therefore has low bioavailability when consumed in the diet. To increase absorption, supplements often contain curcumin combined with piperine (black pepper extract).

Does green tea help improve body composition in athletes?

What is the best way to take it?

Green tea reportedly enhances fat oxidation and helps with weight loss, particularly when combined with caffeine. But the amount of additional fat burned is minimal, and the 10 to 12 cups of green tea needed to create any effect is a bit overwhelming. (Hence, most studies use a green tea extract.) Because green tea has not been studied in lean runners, we can only guess that it is unlikely to offer a significant improvement in body composition.

Is watermelon juice a powerful stimulant for sports performance?

Watermelon juice is a source of L-citrulline, an amino acid that contributes to production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide helps relax the blood vessels and thus enhances blood flow so more oxygen can get transported to the working muscles. One study with athletes who consumed L-citrulline supplements reports they attained a 7% higher peak power output as compared to when they exercised without L-citrulline.

Yet, when athletes were given watermelon juice (contains Lcitrulline) or apple juice (that has no L-citrulline), the peak power was only slightly higher and the L-citrulline gave no significant benefits. The bottom line: Watermelon is a nourishing fruit and a welcome refreshment for thirsty athletes. You would need to eat a lot of watermelon to get the equivalent of L-citrulline found in (expensive) supplements. Your best bet is to enjoy watermelon in standard portions as a tasty addition to your sports diet.

What can be done with pea, hemp, or other plant protein to make them as effective as whey for building muscle?

In general, plants (such as peas, hemp) contain less leucine than found in animal proteins. Leucine helps drive the muscle's ability to make new protein. Hence, to increase the musclebuilding properties of plant proteins, you need to either eat large portions of, let's say, hemp or pea protein (to get a bigger dose of leucine), or you can combine those plant-foods with leucine-rich proteins, such as soy, egg, or whey.

The bottom line: Your best bet to optimize performance is to optimize your total sports diet. No amount of any glimmer-ofhope supplement will compensate for lousy eating.

For the Love of Running I Did It My Way Let me take you back in time to April 27, 2013. Close your eyes and picture a 6' 4” guy toeing the start line of the Run for the Trees 5K in Winter Park, FL wearing a blue Brooks singlet, black Nike shorts, black Brooks racing flats and a white Headsweats visor. Yep, that's me in what, unbeknownst to me, would potentially be my last race.

I had two previous surgeries on my right knee for torn meniscus, the most recent during the summer of 2011. I took about 5 months off from running after that surgery to rehab and get my strength back, and recover from a broken arm I suffered when I decided to take up cycling to help lessen any future damage to my knee.

I eventually got back to running, but my 5K times were not back to where they were presurgery and I was stuck just a few seconds over the 20 minute mark. Marathons were no longer an option for me, the knee just couldn't handle the mileage I was accustomed to in training, so I was focused back into the sub20 minute 5K times.

It took me until early April of 2013, but I finally squeaked under 20 minutes again at the Spring Sprint 5K in Altamonte Springs, FL in a time of 19:58. A couple of weeks later, I journeyed back to the Orlando area for one of my favorite races, the Run for the Trees, where instead of trophies you get, you guessed it, trees. I once again ran 19:58 and finished third in my age group and earned my tree. The downside to this was that my knee was starting to bother me again.

The next week I boarded a plane for Albuquerque, New Mexico to attend the Road Runners Club of America National Convention where I was being awarded the Outstanding Running Club President of the Year Award. I was excited to receive this honor and very excited to run the Run for Zoo 10K, my first race at high altitude.

Our first morning in Albuquerque, we did a group run and I handled the altitude well enough, but the knee was still bothering me a bit more. Later that night, things got lively in the hotel lobby bar and I showed off my best dance moves. Well folks, this is where out story takes a turn for the worse.

I woke up the next morning with a very sore and very swollen right knee. It got stiffer and more swollen as the day went and the 10K was no longer in my plans. My knee had been drained a couple of times before between my two previous surgeries so I was not thinking worst case scenario at this point.

I would just take my anti-inflammatories and a week or two off. But after a couple of days, I knew the problem was more than just a couple of pills and some ice would fix.

I contacted my orthopedist and scheduled an appointment. Just as I expected, he feared another meniscus tear and ordered an MRI. The scans confirmed his thoughts and we scheduled my surgery. Fast forward to my post-op check-up where the doctor reviewed

a treadmill. It was uncomfortable, but not remotely as bad as running out on the roads. I decided to try the treadmill twice a week for 10 minutes each time. This eventually became 3 times a week for up to 20 minutes.

The paces were slow, around 10 minute miles, but I was picking them up and putting them down again and a small void was filled. My knee was becoming sore after running, so I decided to cut back to twice a week.

I had no aspirations beyond that until I decided to give it a shot out on some trails at a cross country park here in town. The soft trails didn't hurt any worse than the treadmill did and it was great to be running outside again. I was only doing about 3-4 miles one day a week, but it was about all the knee could handle without being sore for a couple of days after.

I hated that fate chose my last race for me, even though it was sub-20 minute performance, and started to think of doing just one

the extent of the damage inside my knee.

Along with repairing the tear, he performed a micro-fracture procedure to hopefully create some fibro-cartilage where the previous damage had been. His long-term prognosis, my running days were over.

No runner ever wants to hear those words, but I had just turned 39 and I was not looking forward to a knee replacement in early to mid-40s, so I wrapped my head around the end of my running days and focused on other forms of fitness. None of them had the effect or brought me the joy running did, but I kept at it just so I wouldn't get too out of shape.

Then one day I decided to see how my knee would feel if I tried running. I made it about 10 minutes and it hurt like hell. I told myself to get back to the mindset that I am not a runner anymore and move on with life.

That lasted another couple months and then I decided to try it again, but this time on

more race so that I could say I controlled my destiny and I picked my last race. My absolute favorite race was always the Peachtree 10K in Atlanta on July 4th and I began to wonder if I could make it that far since I was not up to that distance and it's on the roads and not soft trails or a treadmill. I convinced myself that I knew I could finish the race, even if I walked a large chunk of it.

When time came for Atlanta Track Club members -- I have been a member since 2010 -- to register for the race, I put my name on the electronic dotted line and secured my entry. All that was left now was to keep running once or twice a week and not do anything to make my knee any worse before the race.

There were some ups and downs during the weeks leading up to the race. Sometimes my knee would be sore from running that week and I would have to take it easy for a few days

and sometimes I would add an extra couple of miles with no problems.

The week of the race finally arrived and I headed up to Atlanta to visit some friends before the race. On Wednesday at the race expo, I got to feed my running ego by picking up my number for a sub-seeded starting position in the first start wave. I knew my knee wouldn't let me run the race the way I had in the past so I decided to run with my girlfriend Kate in her wave. I told her to set the pace and I was just going to stay with her and really take in and enjoy everything my last official race had to offer. No watching my watch or caring about my mile splits, just absorbing the spectacle of an event this large.

The morning of the race could not have been more beautiful. The humidity was lower than normal and the temperatures were in the high 60s. Not what you would expect down south in July. Along the way we saw every possible outfit combination of red, white and blue imaginable along with more than the required amount of tutus. There were lots of American flag patterned arm sleeves, several patriotically painted faces and one very tall blue Mohawk hair-do.

One of my favorite spots on the course is in front of St. Philip's Episcopal Cathedral where a misting hose is set up with a sign declaring it Holy Water. Runners go out of their way to refresh themselves there, even though the morning's conditions didn't necessarily require it.

In the past years when I ran Peachtree, it was always the uphills that I dreaded in the second half of the race. This year it was the down hills in the first half that had me on pins and needles. Running downhill bothers my knee much more than going up these days and after those descents in the first half, I couldn't wait to start climbing those hills.

When we made it to 10th Street and turned left to head towards the finish line, I knew it could possibly be the last finish line I would ever cross. There was no sadness with that thought, but there was a little pick up in my pace. I told Kate to just stay on my shoulder because we were going to finish this thing strong. And that's exactly what we did. I did not let fate tell me what was going to be my last race or how I would run those last few strides. Like the great Frank Sinatra song says, “I did it my way.”

When the race was over, the knee was a little sore but okay. My spirits were high and I joined the crowd to get my t-shirt and postrace refreshments. I sat down in front of the live music waiting for others I was in town with to finish and took in all that a great running event had to offer.

The 2014 AJC Peachtree Road Race was my last official race and this is my last monthly column for the Running Journal. The road of life is leading me in some other directions and we will see where it takes me. I have enjoyed sharing my thoughts, rants and running observations with you and I wish you many more miles ahead.

Running Journal • August, 2014

Inspired Daily Listening at the Midnight Run After several weeks of physical therapy, cross training, and not running, I was cleared to start running again. I followed my physical therapist's advice and literally started with five minutes of running and only increased by two minutes each day.

My hamstring and piriformis were still a little painful and tight but definitely better than before I began the physical therapy and what seemed like a never ending rest period.

Perhaps I was overly cautious, but I didn't want to rush back and have another setback.

After many weeks of doing more walking than running plus my half-hearted attempt at cross training, I soon found myself heading to Dunedin, Florida in a rain storm for the July Fourth Midnight 10K Run that I had signed up for months ago. As an over racer (recovering) I tend to sign up for races very early when they catch my interest. I was excited about the overnight trip and racing at 12:15 a.m. with friends from my S2 Timing racing team and fellow Suncoast Striders but not very excited about racing ten kilometers. I purposely did not bring my

racing flats or “lucky” bracelet and earring that indicate (to myself at least) that I am in race mode.

I first discovered the phrase “listen to your body” when I read the many incredible books by George Sheehan, M.D. Since then it has become a regular part of my coaching philosophy. It is so simple, yet so difficult to do. Sometimes we may hear our bodies telling us that something is not quite right but do we really listen? That is the big revelation in my life recently - learning to really listen. I have realized that I cannot over race and get away with it anymore. Okay body, I'm listening!

At the Midnight 10K Run I had no race plan as far as goal time or pace. Coming back from this injury I decided not to put any pressure on myself. My friend Meagan was really surprised because she has seen me on a “normal” race day and I was definitely not in race mode that night. But I was not going to utter anything pace-specific before that starting gun went off. I started my GPS and went out at a somewhat com-

fortable pace and didn't even look at the Garmin the entire 6.2 miles. Meagan caught up to me after about a mile or two and thought that something was wrong since she is not normally so close to me during races. I felt a little surge of competitiveness but kept my effort in that somewhat comfortable range. After the turn around she CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

Down the Road Looking At The Future Have you been to a track meet lately -or ever? A lot of road runners have probably only seen a 'meet' on television. Well maybe it is about time you decided to flip the switch and see the real thing.

Thanks to John Olson of SC Runners for inviting me to their Meet of Champions at the Winthrop University Track in Rock Hill. This was a meet set up for High School athletes -- and not just for runners. A number of high school champions from the different divisions and schools in the state came to the meet.

Since I live in Rock Hill it was pretty close to home and a short trip for me. It's been a while since I saw or ran in a meet, and the only ones I ran in were open Summer meets held at Baptist College (as Charleston Southern was called back then) or at the Danny Jones Track in North Charleston. But enough background.

The Meet of Champions had an open 3K road race- -- the Inaugural Bob Jenkins Memorial Race -- which was held first before the meet itself began. I really wanted to run it, but couldn't as my ankle still

has not healed from last year's car accident. I really like races that start and finish on a track as this one did. John told me he had wanted to do a 5K but due to the college baseball game being held at the same time couldn't get a course of that distance.

There was a small crowd for the 3K -not surprising for an afternoon race with an unusual distance, but here perhaps was our first glimpse of the future. The winner of the race was a 16 year old from Rock Hill. Her name is Olivia Paxton. This year I've noticed (as I keep up with all the races

extremely popular choice. But they did it and put out a great effort.

Watching young people in person as they run is something we runners are used to seeing and doing. We are not so used to seeing high jumping and pole vaulting.

When you are sitting or standing close enough to really see them, it makes you realize how high even low clearances actually are. Are you willing or able to jump higher than you are tall. Can you grab a pole and use it to go 12 feet or more up in the air? It is amazing to watch in person.

We should all try to see a track meet. You might be surprised at how much effort and at the beauty of the performances that these young people deliver.

I'm not going to talk about each event - I hope you will take the time to look at the results. They are posted at http://sc.milesplit.com/articles/128630scrunners-meet-of-champions-resultsposted-more-coverage-to-come and you can read the names of the future of track and field. With luck maybe we will convince some of them to become road runners as well..

in South Carolina) that there have been more female overall winners than ever.

The future is arriving before our eyes.

John had a place and a table set up for me near the entrance so that I could sell my book and talk to folks about running.

It was interesting to watch the young competitors, accompanied by their parents or coaches, as they checked in. There was a master list of the registered entrants, but the ones for whom there was no biographical information were asked to fill it in: school, event P.R.s, college aspirations etc.

It was fun to see kids walk up with their bag of shoes, clothes or gear. It was pretty easy to tell what event when they were carrying a pole vault. Some of the participants were shy about their achievements, while a few were quite proud and talkative. We should be proud of all of them.

These young men and women represent the future of our sport and while we may never read their names all of them have already shown that they are willing to do the hard work to achieve results in an often overlooked or ignored sport -- track and field.

The first event was a perfect example.

There were only four young guys signed up for the steeplechase. You know the event. It's the one where there is a pool of water behind a fence which they have get over every time they go around the track.

Ultra Running Tennessee Roads are Easier Than New York City Sidewalks Hubris is hard to overcome. I am well on the way to doing so, however. Easy is a relative term, and changes so much based on task. I write this in the 15th hour of the 17th day of the Sri Chinmoy Self Transcendence 3100 Mile Race (http://3100.srichinmoyraces.org/main3100). Yes, my outlook on things has changed.

I have run, and I use that term loosely, about 670 miles. I have probably walked 300 of those miles, shuffled another 300 and run 70. I am tired, footsore… and probably in the best physical condition regarding “issues” of any of the 14 competitors, which means I am the biggest wimp. As we approach the 1/3 mark of the 52 allotted days, eight runners are over 1000 miles, the leader over 1100.

I just want to apologize to everyone whom I ever told that the walking miles they do in training don't belong in their log. They certainly do. We walk sometimes in races, so they count in training. I also want to say that blisters can really be bad. As one who never had huge issues with blisters I have been less than sympathetic to those who do. I just want to say I get it now. Ouch… I can now not only sympathize, I can empathize.

The event itself is great. The care outstanding, the food restaurant quality.

Thirteen of the best endurance athletes on the planet are here, then there is me. The runners have 9, 7, 5, and so on finishes, at this race in past years. They suffer, and soldier on. No they run on. I encourage everyone to go to the website included above and follow this race. By the time this is in the reader's hands most of the runners, especially those who will finish, will have less than 1000 miles to go.

I talked about easy. The Last Annual Vol State, 314 miles across Tennessee was easy. Handling myself, sleeping in thickets, I averaged 50 miles a day. I once averaged 75 miles a day for six days on a cinder track. These New York City sidewalks have me reduced to 40 miles a day (yes I have trained more than that) and whimpering like a baby. I bite my finger some nights to keep from crying out and waking my roommate, Scotsman William Sichel. (Though he did tell me he wears earplugs… after a week.)

Yes, 40 miles a day average. Some days I struggle to make 50K, the cut off at Vol State. I have an aid station, chair, everything I need every .5488 miles. A short way into each loop I have my lodging, yep, right on the course, where I can take an afternoon nap to avoid the heat of the day. Still I struggle to average 40 miles a

day. I do hope to improve on that, once I fix these blisters and get a good nap.

Unless things improve, drastically, soon (I already need to average 68 miles a day to reach 3100) I will not finish. I have other goals. 1000 miles, 1300 miles, 3000 kilometers, 2000 miles…. All in a DNF effort.

I have already surpassed my longest single event distance covered (note I did not say run) of 514 miles, from 1987.

Every step s a new PR. Which means I should send this off to Running Journal and get back on course. I still have a few miles to cover (note I did not say run) before midnight.

Distance Memories You Can Call Me Al

By Scott Ludwig (Editor's note: This story originally appeared in my second book, A Passion for Running: Portraits of the Everyday Runner. It has been slightly modified to reflect any changes since its original publication.)

I've known Al Barker since Thanksgiving Day 1993.

We met after the Atlanta Marathon. We ran the next 16 of them together up until the race was discontinued after the 2009 edition.

In my first book, Running through My Mind, Al suggests he and I have 'run a zillion miles together.' No doubt an exaggeration, it's not far from the truth. Al and I have run a lot of miles together.

Al and I formed the Darkside Running Club in 2001. Today the club boasts a roster of almost 400 members from all over the country and includes some of the finest people and most amazing runners you'd ever want to meet.

Al Barker is certainly one of them.

Al was with me when I finished the Badwater Ultramarathon. He was on my support crew. His oil painting 'Badwater 2003' is on the cover of my first book.

I was with Al when he ran 100 miles at the age of 60 in less than 24 hours. I was his biggest cheerleader.

Al and I attempted the Western States Endurance Run. Twice. We entered via the 'buddy system' in 2004 and 2006 and were selected both times as our names were drawn in the annual lottery. Al missed a checkpoint cut-off time both years, so he turned to another event to realize his dream of completing a 100-mile trail run. In 2007 at the Umstead Endurance Run his dream became reality.

As he is well on his way into his fifth decade in the sport of running, Al Barker continues to dream.

Making the Team As a child, Al Barker never played any organized sports. Throughout his years in school he never tried out for a team: not baseball, not basketball, and at his size certainly not football. The only true athletic memory he has of school is running the quarter-mile and the mile in P.E. (barefooted and on a dirt track, no less!) and although Al posted the fastest times in his class (64 seconds and 6:38, respectively), the coach didn't have the wherewithal to notice that the heart of this wisp of a young man bore the spirit of a true competitor. Al's career as a runner would have to wait for another day; first he had to get his education out of the way.

Trying Out Al fell in love with running at an early age. It was just the sport for him, as it allowed him to test his mettle against the toughest opponent he could ever hope to find: himself. June 1, 1975.

With college and a degree in optometry behind him, Al started running.

Al began by mastering the shorter distances, eventually realizing the ultimate goal of the amateur short-distance runner, a sub-five minute mile. This spurred Al to success in other distances as well as he progressed from impressive personal bests at 400 meters (58.5 seconds) to

800 meters (2:16) to the mile (4:55) to two miles (10:21) to 5K's (17:13) to 10K's (35:49) to 15K's (57:41) and the half-marathon (1:21).

Al not only tried out; he made the cut. He was unequivocally a runner.

Al (left) and Scott after their last Atlanta Marathon.

Surviving the Cut It wasn't long before Al became enamored with the marathon. Spurred on by the nation's love affair in the decade of the '70's with the likes of Boston Billy (Rodgers) and Olympian Frank (Shorter), Al was ready to see if he had what it takes to be competitive for 26.2 miles.

Boy, did he ever! Before the decade drew to a close, Al proved he had the talent…the mettle, to qualify for the prestigious Boston Marathon, setting a personal best of 2:53:30 in the process. If only his P.E. coach could see him now. Al was now competitive against the finest runners-not in his high school, but in the world!

After two decades of running as an individual, Al was ready to play for a team.

Playing for the Varsity In 1994, Al tried out for the famous Atlanta Track Club Men's Masters Competitive Team.

This was new for him as up until this point in his life-nearly 50 years-he had been flying solo. Not anymore.

He posted qualifying times for the team at

several distances and before long he was flying to Boston and St. George (Utah) and Chicago to compete as a member of an official team for the first time in his life. His distance of choice? The marathon, of course.

Al, always known for his strong finishing kick, dusted off his old 'miler' skills in the late '90's to be a member of two different relay teams, which resulted in his ownership of 1/100th of two different world records: • The men's masters 100 (runners age 40 and older) X 1 mile relay world record team • The men's grand masters (age 50 and older) 100 X 1 mile relay world record team Wanting to share his experience and knowledge with others, Al signed up to be a volunteer coach for the Atlanta Track Club. He's had a variety of students over the years, the most successful being Susan Lance, winner of several prominent ultramarathons including Strolling Jim, Lean Horse, Heartland, Iron Horse and the Tallahassee Ultra Distance Classic.

Earning a Letter Al's running career took a decidedly different path towards the turn of the century, and before long he was discovering success at distances virtually inconceivable to him when he was posted his 5K and 10K PR's while in his thirties. If his newfound success earns him a letter for his varsity sweater, it will be the letter 'U.' U,' as in 'Ultramarathon.'

After crewing at the Badwater Ultramarathon in 2003, Al's fascination with distances longer than the marathon was ignited. He immediately set his sights on the granddaddy of all ultras, the Western States Endurance Run. After posting a qualifying 50-mile race with a time of 9:30, Al focused his training on a 100-mile jaunt through the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range.

Although putting himself through an arduous training regimen to get ready for the event, including a three-day training camp along the very course he would be trying to conquer in June 2004, he failed to make the time requirement at the 43-mile checkpoint and was removed from the race. Undeterred, he tried again in 2006, only to miss a time cutoff even earlier in the race. However, he looks at his experiences out west in a glass-half-full sort of way, as he says 'if you don't test your limits you'll never find them.' As it is with many runners, successful road running didn't necessarily translate to successful trail running for Al. However, Al's successful road running did translate to a successful 100-mile run at the San Diego 1 Day in 2005. Al completed 100.07 miles (to be exact) in 23 hours and 30 minutes at the age of 60, an amazing accomplishment for a talented runner 30 years his junior. Al truly pushed himself to the limit in San Diego, as after completing the 100th lap of the exactly one-mile loop, he jogged several yards, walked several yards, and then performed a perfect pirouette before falling face-first on the infield grass. He rolled over on his back and remained there for another 30 minutes, silently reveling in his accomplishment.

An All-Star While Al hopes to run until the day he dies, he is the only runner I personally know who touts the following four accomplishments on his running resume: • A sub-five-minute mile • A sub-three-hour marathon • A sub-24-hour 100 miles (at age 60, no less) • Over 100 marathons An all-around runner, one might say. Everyone with the exception of his short-sighted P.E. coach.

Extracurriculars An optometrist by profession, Al is not only an accomplished runner but an accomplished artist as well. One friend suggests that Al doesn't travel the world running races, but that he travels the world so he can find fascinating scenery to paint. He spends much of his free time painting in his mountain cabin in Nantahala, North Carolina. His paintings adorn the homes of many of his friends. In fact, Al's painting depicting our adventure at Badwater (that was me he was supporting in 2003) not only hangs in the home of Cindy (my wife) and I, it also serves as the cover for my autobiography, Running through My Mind.

On the home front, Al and his wife Hope live in Fayetteville, Georgia. Hope had a short but successful career as a runner early in their relationship, winning a 5K and competing in distances up to 30K. Al admits that Hope is the top race-winner in the Barker household. They have a daughter Ashley who has been known to show up at races proudly holding up signs and banners encouraging her father as he runs by; smiling, of course. As for Ashley's personal interest in being a runner like mom and dad, let's just say that the running gene skips a generation in the Barker family (however Ashley has been known to run a 5K or two of late).

Al also loves to read, study astronomy and bird-watch. As there will never be a time for Al to sit back and reflect on his career (remember, he plans on running until the day he dies), he does have a few favorite running events: • Big Sur Marathon, on a course Al describes as the most scenic of those he has run.

• St. George Marathon, which Al says is the best for a fast time (he ran it in 3 hours at the age of 50!)

• Boston Marathon, which Al has run 12 times and is the best for 'hoopla' • Atlanta Marathon, which is his favorite for fun with friends In 2008, Al and I ran the entire 26.2 miles of the Atlanta Marathon in our slowest time everfour hours and 15 minutes-and we loved every second of it. It happened to mark the 15-year anniversary of our friendship.

That's OK with me, because it ensures I'll continue to hear one of my favorite stories (and he's got many) Al likes to tell now and again.

Daughter Ashley married several years ago and Al, with an incredible fear of speaking in public, was dreading the thought of giving a toast to the bride and groom at the reception following the wedding. Although he had rehearsed it over and over again, he wasn't sure he would be able to actually go through with it (presenting the toast) … until he abruptly stood up at the reception, attracted everyone's attention … and proceeded to give the most eloquent, heartfelt toast you could ever hope to hear.

The part of the story I like best is when he says it's a moment he will 'remember for the rest of his life.'

This then opens the door for me to say 'more importantly, it's a moment she will remember for the rest of her life.'

Learning from the Young Guns Going Organic We live in a grass fed, farm raised, free range, wild-caught, hormone-free world.

Or at least we try to. Or at least we know we probably should. Yes, it's hard in our actual hormone pumped, antibiotic injected, processed world. But we know that getting back to a natural, organic life would probably do us well. I'm inundated daily with lists of super foods, nightmarish videos of how Chicken McNuggets are made, and lists of foods that are certain to kill me, scrolling across my computer screen. So I know. We all know. But I don't want to talk about organic food, I want to talk about organic running, in particular a terribly under utilized and grossly under appreciated workout - the fartlek.

There has been a strong push lately to get back to natural running, but despite the popularity of minimalistic shoes and Paleo diets we are increasingly attached to our GPS watches and data driven training method, an area some detachment would actually serve us well. I'm not hear to say data is bad and GPS watches aren't useful, they certainly can be, but I've seen a

By Ryan Warrenburg, ZAP Fitness

growing disconnect between what our bodies are telling us and how that drives what we do on a day-to-day basis. The best runners in the world have an incredible internal gauge providing them with constant feedback that allows them to perfectly manage their effort, and that sense doesn't come from watching the pace on their watch all the time. It comes from years of listening to and understanding the intricate signals their body sends them. The best way to develop your ability to understand your body like a worldclass athlete is to incorporate some fartlek

workouts into your training routine.

Fartlek is Swedish for “speed play” and was developed in the late 1930s by Swedish coach Gösta Holmér. The idea behind the fartlek is to organically change paces within a continuous run. It isn't completely different than an interval workout with specific distances and rest periods, but the fartlek liberates you from the pace constraints and distance requirements found in an interval session. Most of us enjoy the structure of an interval session and the direct feedback of running a set distance in a specific time, but the fartlek forces you to disengage from the data and listen to your internal feedback.

The lack of pace and distance specifications in a fartlek make it a workout you can do anytime and anywhere.

Additionally, the flexibility of a fartlek allows you to implement fartlek running into your program at any point during your training.

In the early stages of a training program where you should be more focused on moderate intensity work like tempo runs and progression runs, fartlek can be utilized to introduce some quicker running at a moderate intensity. In executing a moderate fartlek the variance between the quicker pieces and easier pieces should be less rather than more. For example, if you were running a fartlek of 5 x 3 minutes with 90 seconds of easy running in between each you might run the 3 minute pieces at or a touch slower than 10K effort and keep the 90 seconds of easier running at your normal easy day running pace.

You would want to finish this workout feeling like you could easily do a few more 3-minute pieces if you had to. If you were executing a fartlek closer to a key race where you were doing more specific work you would increase the variance between the faster and slower parts of the fartlek. For example, with the same 5 x 3min workout you would run the 3 minute pieces closer to 5K pace and take the 90 seconds jog slower than your easy day pace. This simulates a workout that would be akin to a specific interval session, but allows you the flexibility to listen to your body rather than focusing on what the watch tells you.

Gauging your effort rather than having a specific pace target does take some practice, but once you are able to do it effectively it will help you in all aspects of your training and racing. I know and coach many people who struggle to truly

engage during their races because they are more focused on their pace than evaluating what their body is telling them. If you ask elite athletes what they are thinking about during a race you will inevitably get one of two responses (or both); they are either gauging their competitors in a tactical fashion or constantly evaluating and monitoring their internal effort gauges.

This type of mentality and intuition allows for break through races. The nature of a break through race requires exceeding what you thought you were capable of. If you are limit yourself using external data rather than evaluating your internal gauges you will never allow yourself those breakthroughs. Obviously, pacing is important and there is a place for watches and set distances, but being able to harness both internal and external feedback is the space in which the best athletes operate.

Although the true sense of a fartlek is the spontaneous telephone-pole-to-telephone-pole type of workout, I suggest including some structure in your workout so that you can hold yourself accountable when its easier to stop than to keep going.

In addition to the 5 x 3 minute fartlek I mentioned before; try a descending tempo fartlek. Start with a longer piece and as you progress through the workout decrease the length of the pieces and quicken the tempo. For example, start with a 6 minute piece at half marathon effort and then do a 5 minute piece, a 4 minute piece, etc. all the way down to finishing with a 1 minute piece. Each successive piece should be a hair quicker than the previous. For recovery, jog easily for half the time of the piece you just ran (i.e. 3 minutes after the 6 minute piece).

For a different type of descending tempo fartlek, quicken the tempo within each piece. For example, run several 2 minute pieces starting easily and picking up the pace a little bit every 30 seconds. Take 90 seconds of recovery jog between each piece at your normal easy day pace.

The possibilities are endless, and varying the workouts will allow you to get to know your body well. Get back to natural running and implement a fartlek every couple of weeks -- embrace the freedom!

Fast Milers and a Very Fast 5K in Arkansas Summertime fun in the Sun It's the time of year in Arkansas when we reap the added benefit of Southern cooking and I'm not talking about food. Anyone getting in any type of training will get intimate with the heat and humidity unless, of course, you take your tra,ining indoors.

The Go! Mile happens in the middle of June usually right before summer, and the Firecracker Fast 5K is our Fourth of July race. While the Firecracker has been around for many years and is a tradition in Arkansas, what the Go! Mile lacks in longevity it makes up for in sheer enthusiasm.

Go! Mile In four years, Go! Running has grown this fast little race into one that's recognized on a national level. It began as race to mix up things in the Arkansas Grand Prix Series. The series has more than enough 5Ks and if someone wanted anything shorter there weren't many opportunities.

It is the only certified road mile race in Arkansas and has quickly become a race no one wants to miss. Since it has multiple heats, it's easily the most spectator friendly course in the series. The atmosphere surrounding it is infectious.

The first heat is appropriately named the First Mile. It empowers anyone that wants to start the running journey to give it a go.

The next four heats are divided by gender and age (master/sub-master). This year Windstream sponsored the elite heat.

Being that the Go! Mile was the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) National Championship, race organizers wanted to attract more elite runners.

Prize money was offered to the winner, and a bonus was given to the runner setting a new course record for male and female.

Furman Elites Michael Hammond (4:07.54) and Rob Finnerty (4:07.83) made the race as close as it possibly could have been. Scott Smith (4:08.5) was only steps behind them.

Former Arkansas runner Keri McClary (4:52.51) literally ran off and left the field.

Her new course record shattered the previous record of 5:05.17. Cheryl Nolan (5:05.10) and Leah Thorvilson (5:05.22) had a closer race coming in at second and third.

After the elite heat is the kid's mini-mile.

If you think the elite heat is something to watch, then you will love the mini-mile.

If you missed it this year, then mark your calendar for June 20, 2015. It also returns as the RRCA National Championship.

Firecracker Fast 5K What can be hotter than two firecrackers on the Fourth of July? That's easy, it's the Firecracker Fast 5K. Ironically the race wasn't nearly as hot this year. We finally Fast-ladies at the Firecracker Fast 5K -- Natalie Ragsdale, Abi Stone, Tia Stone, Kem Thomas, Jackie Bacon, caught a break in the weather. I don't get to and Beverly Smith. say that too often.

The race has a tradition of having running legends Bill Rodgers, Frank Shorter, and Joan Benoit Samuelson run in it.

Runner's World Magazine has called the course one of the fastest in the USA. The course records set by Ruben Reina (13:26) and Collette Murphy (15:23) will probably never be broken.

That's the history of the race that has been going on for 38 years. Not many point-to-point 5Ks exist in Arkansas, but the Firecracker, as many call it, takes full advantage of its surroundings. Starting in The Heights and finishing at War Memorial Park.

Participants show their patriotism by wearing colorful costumes or race gear with red, white, and blue. The Firecracker is a race where personal records are made.

Some may put an asterisk beside it as it's debatable whether it's a true personal record since the course has a net downhill.

Runners run for bragging rights and to get their hands on one of the coveted firecrackers. To get your hands on one you have to be in the top 50 of your gender.

This year 1,672 people finished. For males to get a firecracker the slowest time was 18:14.72. For females it was 22:14.57. It's called the Firecracker Fast 5K for a reason.

Although a net downhill, the race has at least one hill that you won't forget. Many refer to it as Zoo Hill since you climb it right before you get to the Little Rock Zoo. This hill comes just before mile 3. Isn't

Running Through the Age Groups When Things Don't Go Exactly as Planned My hubby and I took our annual weekend cruise on our boat, “Curlz,” to the beautiful little berg of Southport, NC. They hold the North Carolina Fourth of July Festival, which is kicked off every year by the Freedom 5K. The boat trip to Southport takes about an hour, and we have all amenities necessary to weekend comfortably. This has therefore become a pre-birthday tradition for me (my birthday is July 4) to which I look forward with excitement every year.

We had recently had the boat serviced and all systems checked, so we were confident that we would have no trouble on the trip down. Well, that's what we get for being over-confident! Literally halfway into the trip down the Cape Fear River, we smelled something burning. We looked at the temperature gauge and the engine was overheating awfully fast! In order to prevent engine damage, we shut down but found ourselves adrift in the middle of the shipping channel for the Port of Wilmington! We looked at the engine and discovered we had burst a cooling hose, so there was no way we were going any further under our own power. We called our towing service and waited, adrift, praying no ships were scheduled to come through any time soon.

Usually, the towing service arrives quickly because its fleet consists primarily of really fast runabouts with huge outboard engines. My heart sunk, however, when they told me it would be at least an hour before they could reach us. It was beginning to get late, the weather was getting iffy, and I had planned to retrieve my race packet when we arrived so I could avoid the morning pre-race crowds.

I was beginning to doubt I would get there in time and resigned myself to going in the morning.

Eventually, we drifted far enough out of the shipping channel to set anchor, but we were in front of Sunny Point, a sensitive military supply depot on the river.

Not long after we were “on the hook,” we were “greeted” by a “friendly” harbor policeman who advised us that we were “not allowed to fish in that area.” I wondered where our invisible fishing rods were. Once we were able to get in a word edgewise and inform them that we were disabled, however, they sweetened up and kept an eye on us until our tow arrived.

When the towboat finally arrived, I realized immediately why it had taken them so long. They were operating out of

By Mary Margaret McEachern

Southport, and it was the cutest, quaintest, slowest little old wooden fishing boat (apparently moonlighting for the towing company) we had ever seen! I couldn't help but get tickled, as the little thing was less than half the size of our boat. I wondered if this was going to work. We hitched up and, much to my relief, it towed us faithfully all the way to Southport, taking about an hour and a half. The mishap had turned our hour trip into three hours, but then I decided, “How bad could more time on the water really be? We were safe, and I even still had time to get my race packet!”

I parlayed my shake-out run into a trip to get my packet, as the round-trip from the marina to the start is about two miles.

The next day, I ran one of the best 5K's I've run recently, so the weekend was turning out to be a success. After the race, I jogged back to the marina -- the perfect cool-down -- and discovered that our boat mechanic and his wife had come all the way from Burgaw, on a Saturday, to get Curlz up and running again. We enjoyed getting to know them a little better, and Curlz ran like a charm on the way home.

The lesson I took away from this experience is that, sometimes, things don't go exactly as planned. Whether in a workout or race, most runners have that off day where at least one something goes wrong.

Perhaps you went out too fast in the first mile (I do that all the time!), or maybe a rock got in your shoe, or maybe the weather threw you a curveball, or perhaps breakfast didn't exactly agree with you, or maybe you just didn't feel your best. In fact, if you think about it, it's a pretty rare occasion that every aspect of a race goes perfectly.

That said, we need to train ourselves to handle the unpredictable aspects of our sport. Most of the time - at least for me this is more mental than physical. As a consummate planner, I really struggle to be flexible enough to accept the fact that

sometimes things just don't go as planned. In fact, as I write this article, I am sitting at home waiting out Hurricane Arthur when I was supposed to be on the road to a week on the mountains. Turns out, that is a good thing, as we were able to minimize damage from a leak in our new sunroom.

In races, I try to do what I can to minimize unwelcome surprises. Some, like gastrointestinal mishaps, are somewhat controllable once you find what pre-race food works best with your body. This usually takes some experimenting. Another factor that should be controllable is not going out too fast, but this, I've learned, is much more easily said than done because it is so easy to get caught up in the excitement of a race. Other factors, such as weather, are completely unavoidable, and in those cases, you just have to grin and bear it, and adjust expectations accordingly.

One really positive uptick about “unwelcome” surprises is that so often, in my experience, they morph into welcome delights! We will remember and share our little incident with Curlz as a “grand adventure” for years, as I especially

enjoyed our little towboat and the opportunity to cultivate a new friend in our boat mechanic. Likewise, some unwelcome race surprises can be turned to one's advantage. For instance, in a shorter race like the 5K, a fast first mile can translate into a better overall time if you can dig in and hang tough for the remaining two miles. Wild weather conditions can create all sorts of opportunities for excitement and/or an increased training effect.

Even stomach distress can be turned into a little wisdom gained about pre-race food so that it can be avoided next time around.

The bottom line is that your attitude toward unexpected surprises can make a huge difference in how negatively, or positively, the surprise affects you. So, at the risk of using a really trite phrase, I urge you to cultivate an “attitude of gratitude” when it comes to the unexpected realities of running and life, and take every opportunity to convert the negative into the positive! Happy running!

Running Through the Bluegrass Women-only Race a Good Experience Men are faster than women -- this is a fact that no amount of women's lib will ever change. But, not all men are faster than all women, that's for sure. A number of races pay a "challenger bonus" -- start the females first and see if the winning woman can stay ahead of the winning male -- as a way to make the competition more interesting.

But what happens if you take men out of the equation altogether? Women-only races have waxed and waned, with a few having major staying power.

Freihofer's Run for Women .

This year, I decided to try it. The Indianapolis Women's Half was entering its fourth year, but had been acquired by the Carmel Racing Group in January. I've run the CRG's Carmel Marathon and found it to be well-organized and well thought out. Kudos to Todd Oliver and his team, because it was a selling point to get me there instead of to another half also in Indy a few weeks before.

I was also intrigued by a ladies-only event. How would it change the dynamic?

The pace?

I started to worry a bit, though, when the event's Facebook page was littered with ladies asking a) what the shirt looked like so they could plan their outfit; b) what their bib number was so they could write it on their shirt (no idea why, it was a bib chip so you were going to have to wear it); and c) ladies saying they were bringing their hydration packs. These signs pointed to a lot of new runners -- which is great, don't get me wrong -- but a large group of new runners can make things a bit of a headache.

Expo first. We got there about an hour before it closed, so it was pretty quiet. No problems obtaining packet, which included a seeded bib. It excites me to no end to

By Tracy Harris

be handed a bib in the double digits. 16!

Granted, these were based off estimated finish times, but in a race this size it should prove a pretty accurate predictor.

Expo was small, not crowded, mostly local businesses so we didn't have much interest.

My worries about race morning headaches proved to be unfounded. There was also a 5k that drew a lot of women new to running, and it started 15 minutes later so there was plenty of room for the half marathoners to get sorted out. Pacers in 10 minute increments established the corrals.

One really cool part of the race was that they did a live TV and web broadcast from the start. And good starting line music -probably in part because they asked for suggestions on Facebook.

So here I am, a wannabe standing in the second row next to a girl in bun huggers and braids. Surrounded by fast ladies.

There's plenty of Indy women, but quite a few out-of-towners, too -- they listed the top five to watch in the race program. I joke with the girl next to me (who will finish second) about how they are live streaming the finish line, which I find amusing. Who is going to watch that? She says she told her mom to watch. I hope her mom watched and got to see her crush that course.

Requisite gun firing and I am sucked in, trying to slide out the back unsuccessfully in the first mile. My Garmin, meanwhile, is having fits with all the downtown buildings.

In summary, I ran the first two miles way way too fast even though I knew better, felt good through five miles then faded through the end but not tragically -- my pace for the first half was about three second faster than the second half.

While running, I chatted briefly with a couple of other runners, including Rachel Chambers, originally from Indiana but a Sarasota, FL resident. Three miles into the race I realized we were wearing the same sports bra, and she was also wearing a pair of shorts I frequently wear. Both pieces are New Balance, and so were her shoes. She confirmed she did run for a New Balance Store team in Sarasota -- I run for one in Louisville. Later, we hopped on the photo stage to grab a photo of this random Team New Balance meeting.

A couple course notes for anyone who wants to run in the future: there's a horrendous hill hiding at 7.5, not long but really steep; there were lots of gnats because we were running along the river; the last four miles or so are straight into the sun and no shade. There were also very few spectators -- after the first two miles (which looped back through the starting area), I saw maybe 10 people. Maybe they came out later as the bigger pack came through.

The finish line was great, with military servicemen handing out medals and plenty of medical staff on hand. You got a snazzy butterfly medal, a rose, and plenty of snacks ... but you had to get your snacks while still in the chute and you couldn't come back. I can live with that, but there should have been another water station outside the chute.

As far as the dynamic? I didn't encounter any women in the elite pack who acted, well, elitist. Everyone was friendly and happy, and there were lots of high fives and congrats. For a race that pays cash to the top ten, I think that's awesome.

As for me, despite poorly executing my race, I still walked away with a PR, a wine glass (AG win) and a cool medal. More importantly, the entire experience was very positive. I'm glad to have met all the ladies I did and have the chance, I hope, to inspire other women to get out there.

caught up to me again and was about to pass me with about two miles to go. I knew there was no way I could stay with her. I encouraged her to chase down a couple of female runners that were ahead of us. She said that she couldn't catch them and I yelled back that she could!

And she did. One of them passed her back in the last 400 meters but she still had an amazing race. She ran a new 10K PR, which is not easy to do in the hot, humid Florida summer at midnight, ran negative splits, and took second in her age group. Our other Suncoast Strider and S2 Timing teammate, Diana, won overall female. I was so proud of them and so happy for them! I truly was. I didn't care about my time or place. I did end up placing fourth in my age group but was way more excited about celebrating their success and the fact that I really listened to my body and ran within its limits that night.

This Running Life The art of certifying courses At a recent North Carolina Road Runners Club social run, I got in on a conversation between Raleigh runners Mike Walsh and Jennifer Ennis, who were reminiscing about the NCRC Classic, an annual half marathon By and 10K the club puts on each April.

Teri Saylor A torrential downpour right before the race put part of the course under water, just with Mike Walsh hours before start-time. So Mike, a local course measurer who previously measured the courses loaded up his equipment, and went back out to reroute and remeasure the courses.

As a casual runner who takes course certification for granted, this story got me to thinking about what goes into certifying road aspect of it. And of course they have to make races and why it is important. I sat down with sure your course is certified, because the Mike and we talked about the process. Here course has got to be right.

TS: How do you measure a course for certification?

MW: I use the calibrated bicycle method.

The equipment is really simple. You've got a bicycle and you've basically got a revolution counter, but it's the whole process of calibrating your bicycle, measuring the course, doing all of your paperwork that makes the certification strong. My calibration course is 400 meters. I go out and I roll my bicycle those 400 meters and I count the revolutions and the partial revolutions, and I do some math. So when I go out and I set a 5K course, I'm might roll 2,515.28 revolutions.

My bike is accurate to about two inches!

TS: Do you have a pump that measures the exact amount of air in your tires?

MW: I do, so that will get it close. But the whole thing is your calibration because your tire size will vary slightly depending on the temperature. When it gets warm, the tires get bigger and when it's cold, the tires shrink. So that's why you always calibrate. It's a very basic, but solid, method.

TS: You have a counter that will count that? You don't have to put a card on your spokes and count the clicks?

MW: Too funny. And the counter is imporMike Walsh on bicycle tant, but it's the process that is key - there's a 75 page manual describing it. First you calibrate the bicycle, and then you calculate what is an excerpt from our conversation: you're going to set for the distance. You'll do TS: Why do races certify their courses?

MW: To make sure that they are accurate a “set” ride on the course to mark the start distances, but most importantly to make sure and the finish. Next you'll do a “measurethey are not short, because if a record is ment” ride, and compare the two rides to established on a short course, it won't count. make sure they are close. Then you come A lot of people today also certify to make home and you do a post calibration - if your sure they've got a good record of the course. bike tire lost air, for example, it would have It's a very stringently measured and docu- changed the dimension of the wheel. So you have to make sure your wheel has not gotten mented process.

TS: Does it have to do with the USATF smaller. If it has gotten smaller, then you have to go back to the course and adjust your too? Do they require it?

MW: The USATF always requires a course points to make sure it's still long enough. to be certified if you sanction the race. For Finally, you complete paperwork and draw a records to be recognized by USATF, the detailed map. You turn that in to your USATF course has to be sanctioned. Sanctioning state certifier, who officially completes the comes with a lot of other things, such as the certification process for the course and standards you'll use for organizing your race; assigns it a USATF number.

TS: How long does it take? how you run your finish line - all sorts of MW: A 5K will take about a morning. A things that have to do with the competitive

ride will take me two or three hours and then there are another couple of hours of paperwork. I can do a 5K in one visit, but half marathon or longer courses often take me two, three, sometimes four visits.

TS: Do all courses have to be certified?

MW: Today, I think yes. Runners expect it.

What if you go out and you run a 10k and somebody measured it using an automobile odometer? And you run this great PR and then you find out it wasn't 6.2 miles; it was 6.

People today compete against themselves and the distance. You want to know that you're running the real distance.

TS: What about the volunteers, the church groups, or the charities that just say we want to do a fund raiser, let's have a 5k? Do they certify their courses?

MW: Most do today. When you see a race director getting his course certified you know it's going to be a good quality race because they're paying attention to details.

You'll know the person probably knows to have enough water. They know enough to run a good finish line. Everything about that race is going to be to a higher standard. Most of these small church races and community races do get certified these days, because they know runners look for it - and I've measured some really good small races.

TS: You had the disaster with the NCRC half marathon when it got flooded the day before the race. How did you do the certification, because you said it can take several visits to be able to certify a half marathon?

MW: I've had a few crazy things happen.

So the one was the North Carolina Road Runner's Classic. Their course was under water. Luckily, I had really good records from when I measured it before so I knew the exact distance between two points where it was flooded. So we rerouted the course so we'd have that distance somewhere else, and I followed the certification process. That was quick because we only had to do the adjustment. I was done in about six hours.

TS: And that's why you have to keep good records. Why your paperwork has to be solid.

MW: I've got a stack this high (he spreads his hands about two feet apart), I never throw away a single note or diagram. I've done 86 measurement jobs now, all of which have been certified (of course!). Another time I was halfway through measuring the Tar Heel 10-Miler, and I got a tack in my tire. So I took a piece of duck tape that I had in my kit, and I taped the tack in place so it wouldn't come out. Then I rode very gingerly. I got through the whole measurement and when I came back and did my post-calibration, I found I hadn't lost a single bit of air!

TS: How much does it cost to get a course certified?

MW: Prices vary a lot all over the U.S. They even vary here in North Carolina. But, because certification is good for 10 years, certification is really affordable when you get right down to it. As a rough rule of thumb, if you divide the cost by 10 years, it generally works out to be less than one race entry fee per year for the organization, and costs less than sports drinks, bibs, tee shirts, etc!

TS: To find someone to get your course certified where would you look?

Course measuring equipment

MW: Visit the measurers link on USATF. Look for a local measurer. Find somebody close that does good work and develop a strong relationship with them. You never know when your race route might flood : TS: What advice would you have for someone who wants to design a race to be certified?

MW: First, most measurers don't do course design, and here's why. Local race directors always know what's awesome about their area. So know your area and know what is going to make for a really great run, and then get on Map My Run to finalize your course.

Bring your passion to it. But before you get too far along, team up with a measurer to make sure your course can be measured and adjusted for distance. Nothing gets me more excited than to go out on a measuring job and say to myself “Wow, now THAT is a course that runners are really going to love”.

For More information: If you want to find someone to measure your race course and get it certified, visit USATF: http://www.usatf.org/events/courses/measurers/ If you want to learn how to get into the certification game, visit the USATF Roadrunning Technical Council: http://www.rrtc.net/ About Mike: Mike Walsh, 46, started running in 2001.

He got into measuring courses out of curiosity, and found he has a knack for it. Besides, it incorporates several of his favorite activities: riding his bike, doing math, and drawing maps. He has completed approximately 75 marathons or longer distances. His longest ultra marathon race was Masochist, where he ran 54-miles. He practiced electrical and computer engineering during his career as an engineer. Today he works in the training division of Arrow Electronics where he is manages technical training for technology products. He enjoys running, cycling and spending time with his wife and two sons. He is a former president of the North Carolina Roadrunners Club.

Masters Running Race Medals Revisited Once again, I have race medals on my mind.

There was a time when you only got one if you placed in a race, overall or in your age group. Many of us masters runners remember those times, especially if we were racing 20 or 30 years ago. If you earned a medal in a race back in the 1980s, it usually meant that you were one of the top finishers.

Medals are still an important part of the race experience today. But unlike 30 years ago, every finisher now receives one, at least on the longer distances and in the major races. To recipients it may signify a milestone achievement, for example that they finished their first half marathon.

They completed the 13.1 mile distance on their own two feet, and can now proudly wear and display this token that proves their accomplishment. Many of today's runners complete several events each year, and amass an impressive collection of medals as a result.

Recently the Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas Marathon announced that if participants

By Lena Hollmann RRCA Southern Director

cannot complete the race they signed up for within the pre-announced time limit (five hours for the full marathon, four hours for the half), there will be a sag wagon that can pick them up. It will then drop them off further up on the course, from where they will have a reasonable chance to finish the event “on time.”

As can be expected, this has become a new hot button in the running community.

Most runners (at least those I talked to) would not want to receive a medal for a race they did not complete in its entirety

on their own power. And I feel the same way.

This whole concept reminded me of Rosie Ruiz, who “qualified” for the 1980 Boston Marathon by taking the subway for part of the New York City Marathon course the previous year. She therefore posted a sub three hour time in the results, which got her into Boston. If you are old enough and were a runner back then, you probably remember what happened in Boston. Ruiz hid in the bushes about a mile from the finish, jumped into the race at the “right” time, and became the first female to cross the finish line. But it was soon discovered that she didn't run the whole way, and she was labeled a cheater and a sociopath. Needless to say, it was not acceptable to “win” the Boston marathon when you only ran a small fraction of the course.

Of course, Ruiz wanted to win (and in her own mind, she did!), while the five hour marathoners in Las Vegas are just going to want to cross that finish line.

Still, a concept that was frowned upon and considered cheating back in 1980 has now become “legit.” But do you really “finish” a race if you get a ride for part of the way?

Serious runners would probably answer with a resounding 'no', even if they represent a younger generation and have only participated in running events for a few years.

17

However, there are runners out there who believe that since they paid their entry fee they are entitled to receive their medal, regardless whether they can finish the race distance within the maximum time limit or not. Fees for Rock 'n' Roll and similar races are not cheap, and in many cases the participants also have costs for airfare and hotel. They are paying for the experience, not to complete a 26.2 or 13.1 mile course per se. And organizers can argue that they ordered a medal for everyone who signed up, and if they don't give them away they will be wasted.

Still, this kind of logic seems a little out of place for an old fashioned, hard core runner like me. In my book, you haven't earned a medal with “26.2” displayed on it unless you actually ran (or walked) every single mile on the 26.2 mile course.

But the playing field has changed in running, and so have the rules. And it's interesting to note that there are two sides to every story -- even when it comes to running!

The entire sport of running is now a completely different animal than the one I got to know and love in the 1970s and 1980s. It has changed and evolved over time, and now encompasses so much

Running Fitness Mother/Daughter Running Bonds One of the biggest thrills recently was watching my daughter run her f irst marathon -- in Copenhagen! Through incredible technology, YouTube and an app just for the marathon, I could track her “live” both through the chips in her bib as she passed various stations, and then as she breezed past certain camera stations. One of them was strategically placed by the scantily clad dancers under an overpass. If you've seen/done the marathon, you know exactly what I mean.

Otherwise, let your imagination run wild.

I have never imposed my agenda on my children trying to teach only, “Do what you love and the money, hopefully, will come.” One daughter is a thriving artist in London and another married her high school sweetheart who is active military. She used to love to run, but can't due to injuries.

Because of that, I don't talk about my running with her.

So when my youngest Skyped from her junior year abroad and asked if I would send running shoes and protein bars to The Netherlands, I happily obliged. We had walked a 5K together once, but she had never done another endurance race. Not one!

The only way my children knew about my running life was from Facebook, or if they asked. My daughter and I exchanged coaching ideas. She admitted that even though she had broken the high school pole-vaulting record (she's only 5 feet tall!), which got her on the University of Southern California Track Team her freshman year, (then she dropped out) the 7 weeks she was planning for training might fall short.

She violated some of my other “rules” of coaching besides not building with increased mileage in racing. She changed shoe brands 4 weeks before the race. She worked out a great deal on an elliptical machine, the rest of the time on city streets. (I prefer a mix of soft surfaces, which weren't available to her.) She had been regularly training up until this, logging 20-30 miles a week. When her knees started hurting, she cut back mileage.

Her long runs felt good. She did manage to get in the 20-mile run during a trip to Santorini, Greece.

She stopped along the way to text me photos, and described that run as the most exhilarating, breathtaking of her life. And then she Skyped afterwards to share more.

She f inished in 4:07 in pouring down rain most of the time. She even had reverse splits! Some of the streets were cobblestone and afterwards she said, “Mom, I've never seen so many people covered in so much blood as they sat on the curbs after falling. It was from slipping on the cobblestone. I would have f inished faster I'm sure, if I hadn't been concentrating so much on not slipping. I'm just glad and amazed I didn't fall.”

By Ellen Jaffe Jones

The whole fast-twitch (sprint) genes versus slow-twitch (endurance) genes played out for a third generation, it would appear. I had an uncle who broke a high school track record, and my own sprinting accomplishments far outweigh my endurance events, even though I've placed in 70 5Ks for my age group since 2006, not including the 7th in the 1500 meters and more last summer at the National Senior Games. To the extent that running is as much in the mind as the body, my daughter, like me, certainly put it all together determined that she would do what she set out to do, only 7 weeks of marathon training or not, and using those sprint muscles any possible way.

I've been told it's rare for anyone with my sprint times to have ever f inished a marathon, something I've done twice in the past 4 years. Like mother like daughter? I don't know. She'd be mortif ied if she knew I was writing about her. But chances are, she won't read this. I've heard parents scream at children running with them during a 5K to keep up or not drop out. The names the parents called their slowing children made me cringe.

Perhaps my “do what you love” philosophy gave my daughter the impetus to f ind her running soul.

Perhaps my example did lead her to this path. Or maybe she would have done this without any modeling in her life. We do what we love and are good at doing. I've volunteered high school coaching, but nothing topped the privilege and honor of “being there” for my daughter. Even halfway around the world.

I run and focus on healthful eating because my parents were so sick and diseased by the time I had children, they could't lift them, let alone babysit.

I've always wanted to be present in ways my parents never could be. As the youngest in my family, I've had a lifetime to see what worked and what didn't. The experience of sharing my daughter's running is just a delicious topping on the carrot cake.

Record Broken at Grandma's Marathon I guess it is the year to break long standing records in the marathon. Meb did it in Boston and Dick Beardsley's 33year-old record went down at the 38th Grandma's Marathon. I chatted with Dick at the starting line of this year's race and he said it was eerie, as the conditions on this race morning were identical to the year when he set the record of 2:09:37. He truly felt that was the day and he was right! Wearing number one, 26-year-old Kenyan Dominic Ondoro reached the half way point in 1:04:46 with a handful of fellow Kenyans. The pace slowed a bit and went off record pace in the next few miles. But Ondoro wanted the win and the record and he began pushing the pace just past 19 miles, even throwing in a 4:39 mile, to break the record by 31 seconds and best second place by nearly three minutes. Ondoro's time of 2:09:06 is the fastest ever run in the state.

Beardsley was all smiles after his record finally fell. He has long expressed his affinity for Grandma's, calling it his favorite race in the world. That sentiment was only reinforced on race day. “Wow, it's an exciting time for Duluth and Grandma's Marathon, and for me,” said Beardsley, who also was replaced by Ondoro as the owner of the fastest marathon ever run in Minnesota. “What a way for Jon Carlson, as the new executive director, to kick off his tenure in this job, with a new course record.”

It was a day for a Kenyan sweep as Pasca Myers covered the course in a personal best 2:33:45. Myers ran her own pace and was seventh at 10K nearly two and a half minutes back. But she ran a patient race, passing women along the way, and although still 30 seconds back at 20 miles, she went on to take the lead and the win. In the Garry Bjorkund Half Marathon, Kenyans Julius Koskei and Cynthia Limo took the titles in 1:03:36 and 1:09:50 respectively.

The American women had a great day as three finished in the top five with the Olympic trials A standard. Brianne Nelson of Colorado Springs ran a 5:35 last mile to secure second in a personal best 2:34:42, while Lauren Jimison of Mammoth Lakes was fourth in 2:35:17, followed by Marci Gage of Bend, OR in 2:35:38. Four other women finished in the top 15 to get the B standard.

The 38th edition of Grandma's Marathon was held for the first time without 37-year executive director Scott Keenan, who retired after last year's race.

Jon Carlson, the new executive director and his replacement race director Bill Brown did a phenomenal job. The torch was passed with nary a hiccup. Elite athlete coordinator Sarah Culver brought in a stellar field and as always Grandma's remains my favorite marathon. There is nothing not to like about Grandma's Marathon and the packed weekend of activities.

Race day weather was a blessed change for those of us from warmer climates.

Race day was damp with fog and temperatures in the high 40s and low 50s. There was a slight side wind but it was not appreciable. It was nearly perfect weather and the finishing results proved the point.

Of the 6229 starters of the marathon, 6211 finished (99.7%) and of the 7308 in the half, 7298 finished (99.9%). Those numbers are nearly unprecedented and only 198 people were treated in medical at the finish. The iron three completed their streak with their 38th finish. It was a great day for finishing a marathon or a half. The only downside was that you could not see much along the route with the dense fog!

Although it was chilly, the spectators in Duluth were not deterred. After their brutal winter I guess they thought the upper 40s was a spring day! They lined the course and had set up a bacon and beer stop, numerous beer stops, a banana stop, and the ever popular Jolly Ranchers stops.

I saw three posters that got me laughing: “If the marathon was easy, it would be your sister,” “You are running much better than our government,” and “Your feet hurt because you are kicking ass.” The people in Duluth know how to keep everyone running.

Grandma's has a stellar reputation for being a world class race with small town charm. This was my 20th anniversary at Grandma's. I first ran there in the women's national championship in 1994 and it was my husband Steve's first marathon. I have returned every year and now spend the week before the race doing

hospitality for the elite runners as well as doing press and running. There is not a race like Grandma's in the world. And after completing number 123, I consider myself somewhat of an expert. Plus I have covered numerous marathons as press and no one does it better.

The entire community pitches in to give runners and their families an event to remember. There is something for everyone. Starting with the Essentia Health and Fitness Expo on Thursday and Friday to the press conferences, the media luncheon, the Michelina's pasta supper, the Whipper Snapper races for kids, the Big Top entertainment on Friday and Saturday, the Verizon Wireless party, and the William Irvin 5K, the weekend abounds with activity. Grandmas is unique as they have hospitality suites at the major hotels for every runner, not just the elites. It is a nice down home touch and is appreciated by all. The pasta dinner runs from 11 am till 9 pm and is the best in the country. Steve and I had a lovely pre-race dinner with seventh place Boston Marathon finisher Nick Arciniaga and his lovely wife Carolyn. Nick went on to finish ninth in the marathon in 2:14:31. I think he still had a bit of tiredness in his legs after his epic Boston run! But we all thoroughly enjoyed the pasta dinner.

I continued my celebration of turning 65 last November by doing a marathon a month and number seven is done. I was second in my age group in a relatively easy run after working all week. I would not have it any other way at Grandma's.

Finally if you have gotten through getting up very early and running the race, there is the Big Top entertainment until the wee hours. Great bands take the stage to entertain and the dancing and celebration goes on long past my bedtime. But it is a fantastic way to end the incredible weekend of activities. I am already looking forward to the 39th Grandma's Marathon on June 20, 2015 which will also mark the 25th anniversary of the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon. If you have not done this race the time is now to put it on your schedule. You will have a once in a lifetime good time!

more. It has expanded into mud runs, color runs and the likes, and has taken on much more of an entertainment flavor. The elite runners are still there, training to win Boston, New York and other major titles.

But the focus is not as much on them as it used to be. Instead, running has become a sport for the masses. The attention is on the “average” runner who wants a fun and entertaining event that they can do with their friends. This is a good thing in the sense that it can get people to exercise who otherwise wouldn't have, but at the same time it is easy to get the feeling that the whole sport has been watered down.

And while it can be argued that climbing over fences and crawling through mud pits isn't really “running,” this type of events get their fair share of attention now in many of the running magazines.

“Finishing” a race by riding a sag wagon for part of the way isn't running either, or at least it can't be considered running the full distance that was advertised for the event. Yet it is now acceptable in at least one major race.

The Las Vegas Rock 'n' Roll Marathon will have their fair share of “non-finishers,” since they set the bar very high. Five hours as an upper time limit for a full marathon is quite steep, even though the clock starts when the last runner crosses the starting line and not when the gun goes off. But the stragglers are now offered an option: “Hop on that sag wagon and you will get there on time! And not only that - you will get your coveted medal!” A few will not get on the wagon because they don't want a medal hung around their neck that they didn't earn. But many probably will -- the temptation is just too strong.

In the meantime I sit here and look at my collection of recent half marathon medals: Dexter - Ann Arbor Run, Germantown (Memphis, TN), Tobacco Road and City of Oaks (both Raleigh, NC), and my favorite, the extra big, guitar shaped medal from the Mississippi Blues Half Marathon. Plus of course my Napa Valley Medal! Although that one was for a full 26.2 miles.

Yes, those finisher medals do mean something to me. Especially now when I'm in my 60s and can no longer place in the overall division. And above all, they mean something because I earned them by completing 13.1 miles (or in one case 26.2 miles) on my own two feet!

Running Journal • August, 2014

Running Journal Grand Prix XXXVI Champions The Running Journal Grand Prix finished its 36th season at the Cotton Row 10K in Huntsville, AL, on Memorial Day. Many of the runners who had competed on the series throughout the year were on hand for their last chance to score points with hopes of becoming champions of their respective divisions.

Huntsville was the final stop for the season that began in late August in Anderson, SC. There, runners competed in the only nighttime race of the series, the Midnight Flight 10K. In October, runners ran the Run Town USA Half marathon in Greenville, SC. A new race on the Grand Prix, the Pensacola Half Marathon in Pensacola, FL, followed in November, and in December, Grand Prix runners could earn double points for scoring in the Rocket City Marathon in Huntsville, AL. The 2014 portion of the series began in February with the Winter Flight 8K in Salisbury, NC. Runners then traveled to the beach for the Myrtle Beach Half marathon in Myrtle Beach, SC, also in February. The month of March also saw two events. First up was the Gate River Run 15K in Jacksonville, FL, a race that also served as the USA 15K National Championships. Then came the Germantown Half Marathon in Germantown, TN, and has been the norm for many years, the series final race was the Cotton Row 10K. Only runners who reside in the South are eligible to compete on the series. Runners had to run in at least two Grand Prix events to receive season-ending awards, so not all divisions had qualifiers. Double points were awarded at the Rocket City Marathon and all half marathons counted for 10 bonus points.

The following is a recap of the 36th season and the runners who traveled the South competing in the superb races mentioned above and who scored the most points in their divisions and were named champions of the Grand Prix at the end of the season.

Running Journal congratulates all of them for their fine performances.

Betty Burrell Leads Female Veterans With Highest Point Total in Competition Our season recap usually starts out with the open field, but this time we’re going to begin with the category for those 70-over – the Veterans. And no one dominated her division more than this year’s Female Veterans champion, Betty Burrell of Pendleton, SC. Burrell, who is 70 years old, is also a veteran on the Grand Prix series, having competed well for several years. Last season she was second in the 65-69 age group.

This season Burrell scored 685 points, the highest point total of anyone competing on the Grand Prix. She started the year out right with a first-place finish at the Midnight Flight 10K, running 1:13:54. She also had first place runs at the Winter Flight 8K (54:55) and the Cotton Row 10K (1:16:45). She was third at both the Pensacola Half Marathon (2:35:05) and the Run Town USA Half Marathon (2:33:53). She was fourth at the very competitive Gate River 15K (1:48:58). And she earned double points for her second place finish at the Rocket City Marathon (5:48:47).

Arnold Floyd is Male Veterans Champion In the Male Veterans category, there was a new face to the competition this year.

Arnold Floyd, 71, of Hartsville, SC, made a very successful debut on the Grand Prix, winning the division with 420 points. Floyd started out with a first-place finish at the

Midnight Flight 10K (49:49). He was second at both the Winter Flight 8K (44:17) and the Myrtle Beach Half Marathon (1:55:52). Floyd had a third place finish at the Gate River 15K (51:52) and finished off the season with another third-place run at the Cotton Row 10K (51:52).

Brenda Cooter Wins Again – Female Senior Grandmasters Champion The Female Senior Grandmasters (60-69) division was led by Brenda Cooter, 67, of Grovetown, GA. Cooter has competed on the Grand Prix circuit for many years and has won awards in each division she has competed in. Last year, she won the 65-69 age group after having led the Senior Grandmasters division the three years before that.

This season, Cooter scored 245 points. She had a secondplace finish at the Run Town USA Half Marathon (2:26:30) and a third-place run at the Winter Flight 8K (49:27). She finished fifth in the division at the Rocket City Marathon, earning double points for her 5:41:53 run. She also competed at the Gate River Run 15K (1:43:16) and the Cotton Row 10K (51:52).

Bob Nelson Leads Male Senior Grandmasters Division Another veteran competitor on the Grand Prix Arnold Floyd led the Male Senior Photo by Patty Nelson Grandmasters division. Bob Nelson, 62, of Charlotte, NC, scored 380 points to win the category. Nelson won the 60-64 age group last season.

Nelson started out great with first-place finishes at the Midnight Flight 10K (46:25) and the Run Town USA Half Marathon (1:40:07). He had a second-place run at the Myrtle Beach Half Marathon (1:41:48) and was seventh at the Winter Flight 8K (41:56).

Nelson finished the season with a 46:12 run at the Cotton Row 10K, good enough for fourth place.

Shirley Smith Takes Fifth Straight Win for Female Grandmasters A familiar face led the Female Grandmasters (50-59) division. Shirley Smith, 55, of Easley, SC, made it five wins in a row in the category, scoring 200 points.

Smith began the season with a third-place finish at the Midnight Flight 10K (50:56).

She was fourth at the Pensacola Half Marathon, running 1:51:12. She finished up the season with a 52:40 sixth-place finish at the Cotton Row 10K. George Dewitt is Male Grandmasters Champion George Dewitt, 55, of Madison, AL, led the Male Grandmasters with 195 points.

Dewitt was third at the Rocket City Marathon (3:07:55) and fourth at the Cotton Row 10K (41:11).

He finished first at the Rocket City Marathon (3:16:20) and second at the Cotton Row 10K (43:59).

The 65-69 division was led by another veteran on the Grand Prix, Wes Wessely, 65, of Clermont, GA. Wessely began competing on the Grand Prix in its early years and although he doesn’t compete every season, when he does, he wins. This season he led his new age group (Male 65-69) with 335 points. Wessely had three second-place finishes: Midnight Flight 10K (49:49), Run Town USA Half marathon (1:52:47) and Cotton Row 10K (50:04). He was third at the Winter Flight 8K (47:05).

There was a tie for second place in the division, with two runners scoring 210 points. First was J.C. Kelly, 68, of Baxter, TN, last year’s winner in the division. He scored 210 points by winning two races, the Midnight Flight 10K (48:58) and the Run Town USA Half marathon (1:45:19).
