This Running Life Wonderful, Magical, Magnificent Mile When I was in college, all freshmen were required to pass a physical education exam that ensured we could swim, tread water or float for 10 minutes and run a 10-minute mile. While I was an active kid, I was not very athletic, so I was as nervous about the freshman sports challenges as an English major in a chemistry lab.

I trained for an entire semester to make it.

Colleges and universities mostly did away with those requirements, but thanks to a team of runners and journalists, the mile is making a comeback.

Bring Back the Mile aims to replace the 1500 and 1600 high school middle distances with a true mile - 1,750 yards, and to encourage Americans to include a mile run in their everyday exercise routines.

The group's website BringBackTheMile .com describes the mile in poetic terms: “magic, iconic, classic and timeless.” And here in Raleigh, we have our own description: “popular.”

The popularity of the mile race in Raleigh is due to the imagination and hard work of a handful of folks, a couple of quirky races, and one revered Englishman who set the bar for a fast mile pretty darn high.

Here are their stories.

The Sir Walter Miler On a recent cool, rainy night on a soggy track at Meredith College, a field of elite athletes set out to make some history at the inaugural Sir Walter Miler, a mile race with a nod to Sir Walter Raleigh, for whom the city of Raleigh, NC is named.

On Aug. 1, three of the male runners broke a 4:00 mile, with Ford Palmer, from the New York/New Jersey Track Club, winning in 3:57.61, while logging the second fastest mile in North Carolina history. Donnie Cowart of Winston-Salem finished in 3:58.43 and Isaac Presson of Asheville rounded out the top three men, with a 3:59.77.

Track and Field News keeps a chronological list of runners who have broken the 4:00 mile, starting with Don Bowden in 1957. As of Aug. 7, there were only 425 runners on that list.

At the Sir Walter Miler, a field of 10 women were also on a mission, aiming to break 4:30, and while none of them did, Heidi Gregson of Furman Elite finished in 4:34.05, logging the fastest women's time in North Carolina history.

The Sir Walter Miler was a brainstorm cooked up by Pat Price, a local writer and blogger who loves running, Sandy Roberts, a local runner on a quest to break the 4:00 mile, and Sandy's brother Logan, a local running coach.

In 2013, the three staged “The Sandman,” a mile race to give Sandy an opportunity to break 4:00. Paced by Logan, Sandy was the only runner in the race. Four hundred spectators showed up to cheer, and the local newspaper covered it. Sandy crossed the finish

By Teri Saylor

state champion, and the whole city is pulling for him to make his goal.

His next race is the Magnificant Mile, a road race in downtown Raleigh on Sept. 14.

He will not even attempt to crack 4:00, but he's competitive enough to try to win the race.

Afterwards he's planning take time off to rest, reflect on his experiences, and enjoy reveling in appreciation for the journey that has taken him to this place in time. He knows reaching his ultimate goal will not be easy, that it is a journey of frustration, disappointment faith and hope.

“I know I have achieved many other successes, and I do feel disappointment, but also gratitude. This has been an incredible journey,” he said.

Stay tuned. Sandy's not done yet.

Lyndsay Harper The photos are heartbreaking.

A young runner, on the final turn in a race that might propel her into the London Olympics, is freeze framed in mid-air. Her arms are up, her left foot is cocked inward, and the horrified expression on her face tells the tale.

She's going down.

“I remember thinking 'seriously?' Lyndsay Harper said on a rainy, unseasonably cool afternoon in August. “I had never fallen in a race before, so of course, my first time falling would have to be a face plant during the Olympic Trials.”

Lyndsay had traveled to Raleigh all the way from Berkley, Calif. to run a mile. Four hours before the start-time, she took a few minutes to talk about her sport, and her infamous face plant, captured on film and splashed prolifically across the Internet.

With 100 meters to go in a preliminary race leading up to the finals for a spot on the United States team in the 800, a woman near Lyndsay tripped, and Lyndsay fell too.

Like a true champion, she got up and kept running, finishing the 800 in 2.08.

In one stumble, an Olympic dream was dashed - for now. She plans to try again in 2016.

Lyndsay, 25, ran for the University of Virginia, and over time settled into the 800meter distance. Her P.R. is 2.03. Today, she runs with the Bay Area Track Club. The Sir Walter Miler was her first track mile, and she finished in 4:57.19.

Lyndsay's goal is to continue running short and middle distance races for as long as possible. She doesn't have the patience for long distance and visibly blanches at the thought of running an ultra marathon. “I'd rather run 200s on a track than do long runs - they are monotonous,” she said, and laughed. “I run for two minutes. That's my specialty.”

Sarah Roberts Witt I think of Sarah Witt as the mother of The

line in 4:06.

This year, the trio planned a real event, complete with a field of elite runners who traveled to Raleigh from all over the country to participate. They recruited sponsors, and a Kickstarter fundraising campaign raised $3,500 which was used as a purse for the winning athletes.

The race also fielded a group of local runners, put up by running groups, running stores and other organizations. The field included Barbara Latta, who holds the longest women's running streak in the United States, and former Raleigh Mayor Charles Meeker who has an impressive running resume of his own.

Nearly 1,000 people turned out to cheer, and most of them lined each side of the track, settling in tight, like a gauntlet.

Sandy Roberts Sandy Roberts got a whiff of his dream coming true on the 4th of July when the Raleigh Running Outfitters store hosted a mile race.

Sandy, who ran a mile in 4:01 five years ago as an athlete at Georgetown University, had long harbored a deep desire - really an obsession, to break 4:00.

On that boiling hot July day, he crossed the finish line in an astonishing 3:51.

There was just one catch.

The mile was all downhill.

Even though the fast time will never appear in any record books or even count as a real finish, for 26-year-old Sandy it was a breakthrough, both mentally and emotionally.

His 3:51 finish boosted his confidence, and sharpened his hunger to finish an official mile race in under 4:00.

“When I crossed the finish line, it felt great. I couldn't believe it at first and thought the course might have been short, but it wasn't,” he said. “I couldn't believe my legs carried me that fast.”

On Aug. 1, he set out to make his dream come true on a flat, outdoor track in the Sir Walter Miler.

“I know I can do it,” he said in a phone interview, four days after completing the race in 4:05.

Sandy, who grew up in Raleigh, was a household name in high school as a six-time CONTINUED ON PAGE 24

Distance Memories Culture Clash: Runner vs. Redneck In the first three years of the Snickers Marathon Energy Bar Marathon (held on the first Saturday of March in Albany, Georgia), I became one of its biggest fans and most ardent supporters. The race is well-organized and 'worth the price of admission.' The course is scenic and conducive to a good time. The support offered by the corps of volunteers is amazing. And the good citizens of Albany band together and come out race morning to cheer on the runners all throughout the 26.2 miles of the course. They're a terrific bunch of people.

With the exception of two of them. Perhaps three.

In 2010 I ran a Boston-qualifying marathon in Albany for the first time in over three years.

Considering the health issues I'd been battling during that span of time I was very satisfied with my performance (that is, if a synonym for 'satisfied' is 'good-lord-am-I-on-the-verge-ofa-comeback?').

My wife Cindy had one of her better halfmarathons, and the members of the Darkside Running Club who participated all had a positive experience in Albany as well. It was, quite honestly, a most excellent springtime morning in south Georgia. All of us hung around the finish line for 90 minutes ... soaking in the sunshine and the southern hospitality. By the time we finally returned to the parking lot to leave, most of the runners had already left.

Cindy and I got to our Porsche Cayenne (it's a company car, and I only mention it as it is an integral part of this story), and she hopped in the front passenger seat while I opened the hatch in the back. I took off my singlet and put on my Darkside polo shirt; then after taking a quick glance around the deserted parking lot, and with my shirttail pulled down to my knees I slipped off my wet running shorts and quickly pulled on a pair of dry cargo shorts--a process I'd repeated literally hundreds of times during my running lifetime.

I closed the hatch and got in the driver's seat and started the engine. About this time a white sedan pulled directly behind me, preventing me from backing up to leave. (There was a large curb directly in front of me. Beyond the curb? A seldom-used side street and a cemetery). I politely tapped the horn, opened my door and looked back at the sedan.

I then heard a loud, gruff voice in a deep south-Georgia drawl say “Ohhhhh no; you're not going anywhere.”

Then he appeared. Six-foot four, easily three hundred pounds and sporting a 48-inch waist wearing the butt-ugliest Georgia Bulldog belt you could ever imagine. Did I mention the lit cigarette hanging out of his mouth? Well, he had a lit cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

Constantly, I would soon realize. When he got to the end of one, he lit another. And another.

What was he doing in an area that was cordoned off for runners, you may be asking.

Exactly my point; what the hell was he doing there?

He (from now on I'll just call him 'Valedictorian') then told me he 'knew the

By Scott Ludwig

Chief of PO-lice' and had already called the police and reported me and that a unit would be arriving any minute to handle the situation.

Among the highlights: • You're not going to come to my town and take off your clothes and show everyone everything you got. (Please excuse the grammatically incorrect sentences; I write 'em as I heard 'em.)

• My wife and kid are in the car and they saw everything you got, and so did 1. (At this point I tried to add levity to the situation by saying 'well you shouldn't have been looking,' but (a) this guy in no way understood the meaning of 'sarcasm' or, for that matter any other word with more than two syllables and (b) this fired him up even more than he already was. Whoops. At this point he said 'now I'm REALLY going to press charges, ' but in all honesty his mind was already made up: I was a common criminal and deserved to be behind bars.)

• I don't want to walk down a street and see some guy w***in' his **** like some PREvert. (Where did this come from?)

• Would you want your children to be molested? My son was molested, and it wasn't pretty! (If you know me well enough you know exactly what I wanted to say after this one.)

There were more, but these were probably what I would consider to be the top four. Then his 'wife' (later I would see both of their drivers' licenses and realize they (a) had different last names -- so from this point forward I'll simply refer to her as 'Homecoming Queen' -and (b) lived in two different places) added to the 'conversation' by basically repeating everything her 'husband' had said up until this point.

She had a cigarette hanging out of her mouth as well. She was every bit of five-foot-one and 95 pounds.

I tried to explain that all I was doing was changing out of my wet shorts after running a marathon. He: 'I work construction and I have wet underwear all the time, and I don't go around nekkid.' Her: 'We saw your manhood.'

He: 'My son saw EVERYTHING.' Her: 'We saw your manhood.' Oddly enough, the son-who had to be about 15, sat silently in the back seat playing his banjo (OK, so I made that last part up, but if someone told me he was in a movie with Burt Reynolds in the early 70's I would have believed it).

Then a county sheriff's deputy showed up and asked Valedictorian and the Homecoming

Queen why they called the police. (Gee, it sure was fun listening to that again). Then the sheriff asked for my side of the story. She rolled her eyes while asking me (translation: 'lord, why me?') and (apologetically) said since a citizen of Al-ben-nee had filed a report it had to be investigated. By the city; not by her.

So the deputy then radioed for a police officer from the City of Albany. Another unit showed up and the officer went through the exact same routine; in fact his rolling of the eyes was almost identical as well. Then he radioed for another unit (I'm not sure why) and two more units showed up. Two more police officers went through the same routine. Four more rolling eyes. Then they agreed 'the Lieutenant' had to make the call, so they radioed for him.

Ten minutes later the Lieutenant showed up, so now there were five law enforcement officers and five law enforcement vehicles' handling the disturbance.' I figured what the hell; they had nothing better to do. After all, there wasn't much going on in Albany this particular weekend in March. Just a WWE wrestling show Friday night, a Steve Harvey show later Saturday evening (these two events were both held in the building whose parking lot we were in during this time), the marathon (which required a lot of support from the Albany Police Department), a Mardi Gras festival literally less than half a mile away, a funeral (did I mention police officer #3 was called away from a funeral procession to report to the scene of the crime?), and to make matters worse, the first nice weekend weather in several months. It was the perfect storm of bad timing for this to happen as far as the law enforcement officials were concerned.

Speaking of 'the perfect storm...'

Valedictorian (a) had a ginormous gut and was obviously out of shape, (b) was driving an old, dirty white sedan and (c) was apparently a University of Georgia fan (there was also a large 'G' license plate on the front of his vehicle, so it's quite possible he and his wife had indeed been the school's Valedictorian and Homecoming Queen at one time). Since Valedictorian (a) saw I was in fairly decent physical shape, (b) noticed I was driving a brand new Porsche (I told you this fact was an integral part of the story) and (c) had noticed my 'Florida Alumni' license plate frame, the groundwork was set for the fireworks that would ensue. In all honestly, the sun was shining so brightly that I wanted to put on a baseball hat to protect my face from the sun, but the only one I had was my University of Florida hat and seeing as our football team had beaten Georgia 49-10 and then went on to win the National Championship only two months earlier (in a year that Georgia had been ranked number one before the season began!), I figured if I put on my hat he would think I was taunting him ('Now I'm really, REALLY going to press charges! ').

After what seemed like a lifetime (seeing as how I honestly thought I might end up behind bars in this south Georgia town for being a PRE-vert and all), the Lieutenant approached me and said that since Valedictorian was a citizen they had to take his complaint. He then asked if I would mind hanging around until after he got statements from Valedictorian and the Homecoming Queen and sent them on their way, at which time I could leave quietly. I agreed, but not before asking if Valedictorian broke the law by illegally detaining me by

parking his car behind mine. Again the eye roll ... but I assured him I had no intention of being a nuisance and filing a complaint; I was just curious. The Lieutenant nodded, indicating that a law had been broken and then breathed a sigh of relief seeing as how I was not going to file a counter 'citizen's arrest.'

Valedictorian then attacked me with a verbal barrage of insults I haven't heard since my physical education teacher in junior high took exception to my inability to climb a knotted rope suspended from the ceiling of the gymnasium.

As the Lieutenant was taking their statements (lord, could they write any slower?) two of the officers said the Albany police were very familiar with Valedictorian and the Homecoming Queen as they were notorious for this type of behavior. That explained why Valedictorian 'knew' the Chief of Police. That explained the numerous eye rolls I had observed over the last 90 minutes. That explained why Valedictorian and the Homecoming Queen leaned up against their car smoking their cigarettes and looking as if they were savoring the moment. It's because they were! This was their family time ... their entertainment ... this was what they lived for!

They were undeniably in their element.

Jerks.

Once the Lieutenant finished with their statements, it was several more minutes before Valedictorian and the Homecoming Queen actually drove away. Cindy told me later that they were unhappy with the way the matter was being handled and threatened to 'call the D.A. and the newspapers' on Monday morning to report what had transpired (they didn't use the word 'transpired,' but you already knew that, right?). They added that they 'expected more from Albany's finest.'

The last order of business was for me to write a statement. It was short and to the point (pretty much what the Homecoming Queen had to say about my 'manhood'). I caught a glimpse of the statements written by the two Nobel Laureates, which were also short and to the point (I didn't notice any words with more than two syllables, and for the first time in my life saw a man's family jewels spelled 'peenus').

After I finished writing the Lieutenant apologized for everything and said he appreciated me waiting around until the rednecks-fromhell had left. He added they were not representative of the people of Albany and hoped Cindy and I would be back.

Now that I knew it wasn't a federal offense to change out of my wet shorts after a marathon, we returned the following year.

Except the following year we'd stayed in the race hotel ... 50 yards from the finish line. I would change out of my wet clothes in the privacy of my hotel room.

With the drapes wide open.

After all, I'm a runner.

Learning from the Young Guns Jump Starting Your Economy We talk to our ZAP-Reebok elite runners about how being a distance runner means sometimes you have to be selfish.

To be your absolute best you often have to think about yourself and do what's best for your own running. As an elite athlete there are a lot of weddings, birthday parties, family reunions, and other things that most people would value more than their own running that get missed. So in the name of self interest, while I could write an article on how to fix the broader economy that has been grinding along the last several years, I want to focus on your personal economy. And this may come as a disappointment, but I'm talking about improving your running economy, not your financial well-being.

We hear a lot about the importance of speed in distance running, and generally speaking, a more economical runner is a faster runner. Mo Farah, the double Olympic Champion from the UK, is the fastest finisher on the planet. And yes, being fast does play a role when you are closing 5Ks and 10Ks in 53 seconds.

However, the more important factor at play, even at the highest level, isn't foot speed, it's strength. The runner who gets to the last lap more comfortably and better able to utilize their speed is often who wins the race. Mo Farah and the Olympic 10,000m silver medalist, Galen Rupp, are training partners under coach Alberto Salazar. Alberto readily admits that Rupp is the faster sprinter of the two; the difference is that Mo is the stronger athlete. For most of us mortals who don't finish our 10K races with a quarter mile under 60 seconds, the strength element is even more dramatic. The most highly trained athletes on the planet race much closer to their maximum speed than most of the rest of us.

The efficiency seen at that level is due to greater aerobic development and a more efficient means of movement; and the two go hand in hand. For most runners the best thing you can do to improve your economy of movement is to spend a little bit more time on your feet. Additional time spent running easy aerobic volume will help develop the aerobic engine that dominates distance running performance, and it will enhance your body's adaptation to the movement. The more your body does something the more efficient it becomes at that task; it's just like a jump shot: practice makes perfect.

I emphasize the aerobic strength element because it is the single most impor-

tant aspect of training, and when you discuss improving economy it's easy to get distracted and neglect that fundamental component.

Before I introduce my three favorite elements you can incorporate immediately in your training program I want to briefly mention two additional training tools that can provide significant economical gains: weight training and faster interval work. As opposed to the traditional thought that distance runners should do high-repetition-low-weight gym work, most of the research indicates if you're going to spend time in the weight room you should be doing low-repetition-highweight neuromuscular training. This type of training doesn't build muscle mass the way higher repetition training does, but does develop neuromuscular strength that translates to better running economy.

That's an entire 1000 word article though, so let's leave it there for now.

Incorporating some shorter, quicker intervals within a training program, typically with significant recovery, is another way to improve economy. During our adult running camps at ZAP Fitness we do a video analysis of everyone running at an easy pace and then again running at a quicker pace. Inevitably what we find is everyone is a bit more efficient running quicker. Which is why everyone should just run fast all the time‌. just kidding!

Your body is amazingly adaptable to varying demands placed on it. When you ask more out of your body it finds ways to perform that task more efficiently. One of the simplest and most effective ways to improve your economy is to include strides at the end of your easy runs a few times a week. To properly execute a stride simply take a few minutes after your run to catch your breath and then run 15-35 seconds at a time, accelerating from a relatively easy pace to nearly full speed for the final few seconds. Do between 4 and 10 repeats making sure to take enough time between each to fully recover. The

purpose is to stimulate the high efficiency of movement you tap into when running quickly and reinforce that behavior through repetition. The difference between the shorter strides and fast intervals is you are maximizing peak efficiency because strides aren't long enough for you to lose efficiency through fatigue like you do in hard interval training.

For an added benefit, do your strides uphill once or twice a week. The economic benefits of running quickly are amplified when running uphill. The added stress of running uphill increases muscle recruitment, further improving your efficiency. Referring back to my hill training article from last October (which I know is fresh in everyone's mind), hills also improve mechanical efficiency by emphasizing proper posture and foot strike. The enhanced muscle recruitment will, over time, become part of your natural muscle recruitment pattern, even when running on flat ground.

The final tip, which I've discussed in this column before, is to include some pickups late in your long run. The idea is to pickup the pace for 1 to several minutes at a time toward the end of the long run, targeting somewhere between 10K and half marathon effort on the pickups. In between each pickup you should resume your normal long run pace for 5-6 minutes. The pickups recruit fast twitch muscles late in the run when your slow twitch fibers are fatigued. This strengthens the fast twitch fibers and helps improve running economy and leg speed through increased muscle recruitment.

You still may not be equipped to jump start the global economy, but incorporating some of these techniques in your weekly routine can help kick your running into high gear!

He Said, She Said What Was Your First Love?

With all the speed, excitement, depth and rhythmic magic that a John Bonham drum solo delivered, your heart would begin to beat briskly at the thought of it.

Your eyes widened with amplifying anticipation when it was near, and your lips curled at the corners with a mere memory of it when it seemed far away. It was your first love, and it gave birth to a level of aliveness you never knew you could emanate. It may have been a particular person, a material object, an activity, or perhaps a special place. Whatever it was, it had your heart and likely took you to heights from which the whole world was viewed with wonderment. For some, first loves are loves forever, and for a select few, first loves are only loves. This month I ask, what was your first love?

Nolan Shaheed

He (Nolan Shaheed) said…

“My first love was the trumpet,” world champion runner Nolan Shaheed said.

For anyone who follows the sixty-five year old athlete's phenomenally fast performances at track and field competitions, you may be surprised to learn that his first love is not running.

“I stuck with [running] because of the trumpet and although music has taken me

By Mary Marcia Brown

Mullin and Schmanski.

“Both are wonderful gentlemen and great competitors,” Shaheed said as he buttoned up his Championship weekend.

Now back in his hometown of Pasadena, California, Shaheed continues to play, write, and produce music, as well as train, and run with the kids he coaches at Monrovia High.

“I practice my trumpet four hours every day and I run ten miles a day,” Shaheed said, identifying 'great discipline' as his 'greatest attribute.'

Perhaps even more astounding than his disciplined trumpet-practicing and running-training, is his disciplined nutrition regimen.

“I only eat one meal a day, six days a week and totally fast one day a week.

During the summer, I eat three meals a week but cut my training down to four or five miles a day, three times a week,” Shaheed shared.

The controlled calories certainly do not contribute to diminished performance neither on the stage nor on the track. In fact, Shaheed learned years ago, as a high school student, that the two loves complement each other, saying, “the better I ran, the better my trumpet playing got.” Since then, the multi-talented performer and athlete (who grew up being the fastest kid on the block and who always ran and played sports with his athletic father and brother, Cedric) has been delivering notable award-winning, record-breaking performances in both venues. He has even managed to combine the two loves.

“I've had Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and Dianna Ross out jogging with me,” the accomplished jazz musician, who has played on countless motion pictures and television shows with the best in the business, said.

Imagining Shaheed running with such legends, after playing alongside them, conjures up a lovely image. How wonderful to interweave elements of his music and his sport - especially since they both hold such special places in his heart. And while true enough that his music may remain his first love forevermore, his running will unquestionably continue to inspire and astound admiring runners who love to see his first place, record-breaking finishes, decade after dependable decade.

all over the world, I've run everywhere I've been,” Shaheed said.

The USATF Masters Outdoor Championship in Winston-Salem, North Carolina was where Shaheed could be found running and breaking records the latter part of July. The championship, which featured athletes from 30 to 95+ years of age, lasted four days during which Shaheed competed in three heartracing, feet-chasing events.

During his first event, the 'Happy Birthday' song resonated over the loud speaker and through the cheering crowd as fans, spectators, and the event announcer sang Shaheed off the starting line of the 2,000 m steeplechase. He finished the event with an impressive 7:19.62. While his finish fell a mere second short from breaking Ron Robertson's World record of 7:18.10, it was still stellar enough to set an American record and reward Shaheed with a memorable way to begin his 65th birthday.

The next two events in which Shaheed competed were the 800 and 1500-meter runs. Surprisingly to many, both events were won by an athlete previously unheard of by Shaheed -- David Schmanski. During the 800-meter run, Schmanski sprinted by Shaheed with 300 to go and won the event. The 1500-meter run was even more exciting. Peter Mullin led the event for the first three laps with Shaheed immediately on Mullin's heels and Schmanski directly on his. Shaheed blew by Mullin with 300 to go and Schmanski did not skip a beat, but shadowed Shaheed during the pass. With only 60 meters to go, Schmanski fiercely fleeted by Shaheed with an intentional highspirited sprint that won the event in 4:46.

As thrilling as both events were, and as extraordinary as Schmanski's winning times were in the events, neither finishing time jeopardized Shaheed's world records of 2:08 and 4:24, respectively. Shaheed She (Mary Marcia Brown) said … continues to hold the records and thoroughly enjoyed the NC championships Tutus, tap shoes, leotards, and tights were and the competition - especially with all tightly attached to my first love.

During my very first class, dancing did a

do-si-do directly over to my heartstrings, secured a firm grip, and has been involved in a beautiful pas de deux ever since.

As a five-year old, dance class day could not come quickly enough. I would arrive early just to admire my dance teacher braid her long hair before magically twisting it into a bun and securing it with a barrette, and I would stay late to watch the older dancers' more advanced moves in the next class. My patent leather tap shoes were always shiny and my ballet slippers' strings were neatly tied and tucked.

Each class's music ignited a natural rhythm that I simply could not contain.

Recitals were the reward of a year of perfecting pirouettes, practicing routines, and learning to physically harmonize with others. I always passed on putting Vasoline on my teeth before a show, as the stage was my friend, my joy, and my welcomed guest that elicited an immediate smile even before the curtain opened, and caused it to remain long after it closed.

I invited increasingly challenging technique, and I tackled it dauntlessly, determined to master it even if it took some time. In every genre a puzzle would appear - triple pullbacks in tap, double axle turns in jazz, consecutive fouettes in ballet, and the relinquishment of learned technique in contemporary class. The elation related to correctly executing a dance step was euphoric.

I carried those feelings with me through elementary, middle, and high school, and through my years in college. Earning a place on my university's dance team introduced me to an even more concentrated athletic aspect of the art. Targeted physical fitness training was a daily requirement as were weekly runs. I began to love fitness equally as much as I loved dance…sometimes even more.

The years that have followed have allowed me to share both of these loves with countless clients, hundreds of students, and even several strangers. The years have also introduced me to many teachers and trainers from whom there is always something to learn, and I love and appreciate that, too. Learning from others allows me to fall in love with fitness and dance all over again, and if I am going to fall anywhere, I want it to be in a big, pretty puddle, laden with lots of love.

Down the Road History Fades Into The Mist You will know you are getting old when people start calling you a legend. Of course, as the old joke goes -- we are all 'legends in our own minds', but that is another story. Meredith Nelson, Vice President in charge of Programs for the Charleston Running Club set up a meeting called 'An Evening with the Local Living Legends' to present some history of how things used to be to current club members.

It was an honor to be on the panel along with Gail Bailey, Anne Boone, Tom Dority, Marc Embler, Ed Ledford, Clyde Mizell and Bob Walton. How much do you know about the early history of road running? All the members of the panel could tell you a lot about the 'early days'. When you've got someone who has run all 37 Cooper River Bridge Runs, a runner who has won that race and others who have run it dozens of times you have a lot of history on hand. So with questions, stories and reminiscences, a lot of interesting things were talked about.

Without going into specifics, do you remember when races handed out popsicle sticks (or tongue depressors) with the runners finish place on it to each runner as they crossed the finish line? Do you remember tak-

By Cedric Jaggers

ing that stick to a finish table to fill in your name, age etc. on a card? No computers in the early days. Do you recall when only the winner's times were recorded? If you don't remember these things you were not there in the early days of road racing.

So history is fading into the mist.

Personally, I think it would be a great idea if every running club were to have a meeting like this to help put how things used to be into the minds of younger runners.

How about other ways history is disappearing? Results. If you only know computer timing, then you don't know how time consuming compiling complete race results could be. I got

Oh no again. The earliest year offered is 2005.

I sort of knew this. I remember when they handed out medals with top 250 finisher and I was sick when they handed out the last one to the guy 2 places ahead of me. I asked about results and whoever it was said “We don't time anybody else.” That was in the early 80s. So I wonder if even partial results beyond the top finisher lists exist for Peachtree?

Want to try it for another big race, say the Cooper River Bridge Run? I already know the answer since I've run it 35 times and got paper results for every race.

Look on www.BridgeRun.Com/results. Then select a year. How about that. All the way back to the first race in 1978. I knew because they borrowed my paper results all the way up to when the race was computerized and put them on the website. I believe I was the only one who had all the results.

Do you have the only results for races in your area? Check google and see how far back you can find results for your favorite race. If you have results of their race which they don't have posted, get them a copy and get them to post them.

If we don't preserve history now, it will fade into the mists. You can help. It takes time and effort, but it is worth it.

interested in getting results when a friend of mine, Dr. Charlie Post, threw all the finish place cards and timing tapes into a fire barrel after he had handed out the awards for his first race -- The Family Physician's Fitness 5K and 15K in 1980. I was appalled, so I told him I would compile results for him in the future. If you want to see some 'early' race results, just send me an e-mail and I'll send you a PDF of the handwritten 1981 results of Charlie's second race. I have the results of every one of Charlie's races except the first one.

Are there existing results for early races in your town or state? Try to find them on the internet. Everything is there right? Wrong.

Don't believe me? Check it out. I ran the Marine Corps Marathon in 1981 and have the certificate they mailed me to prove it. It says I completed it in 3:18:17 and finished 1,640th out of 6,556 runners. So let's Google the results on the internet. Okay, that brings up MarineCorpMarathon.com and there is a results tab. Great. Click on results and you get some choices. Let's pick Results Database. We get a searchable results page. First choice of course is last year's race 2013. But let's look for our earlier result. Oh no, the earliest year available is 1993. So much for finding results for the year I ran it.

How about the largest 10k in the country.

The Peachtree Road Race. Since my brother lived near Atlanta, Kathy and I used to run it almost every year from 1979 until Earl's untimely death in 1992. So let's check out all those years. Google again. Looks like the best choice is: http://projects.ajc.com/running/peachtree/.

Running Psychology Affirm Your Greatness!

Maybe it occurs out on a training run. A small voice inside your head asks the question, “Have I done enough training to get through my marathon?� Or maybe it occurs late in a race when that little voice says, “I don't know if I can make it to the finish� or “I don't think I can keep up this pace.�.

Maybe it occurs when you first get out of bed. The voice in your head says, “just go back to sleep; training is a hopeless waste of time.� Whenever it does occur, that little voice is slowly eroding your confidence and putting you and your running down.

Well, I'm saying it's time to shut that little voice up once and for all and affirm your greatness as a runner.

To be confident as a runner you must understand that your thoughts will have a huge impact on your training, and ultimately, your race day performance. Your thinking can effect concentration, hormone release, energy level,s and muscle tension.

That negative little voice really can make you feel bad, both mentally and physically.

To run your best, both in training and racing, you must be optimistic and remind

yourself of your capabilities as a runner and reinforce these capabilities by reminding yourself of what you have accomplished in the past. You need to be your biggest fan and your own best running friend. Be positive and go after what you want in your running!

One of the most effective ways to become more positive and increase running confidence is to formulate what are known as affirmation statements. Affirmations are self-statements that are positive in nature, directed toward yourself and are indicative

of what you want to accomplish in the future, but stated as if you have already accomplished the goal. For example, if you have a marathon coming up this fall you may formulate an affirmation statement like, “I am excited about running the marathon and look forward to running a new personal best.�

Affirmations should be achievable and believable and very personal to you. “I run hills better than anyone,� “my training has prepared me to be super strong in the last half of the race,� and “I run great in extreme conditions like heat or rain, so just bring on race day� could all be considered positive affirmation statements that are real, in the present, and enhance your self-worth and confidence as a runner. Repeat the affirmations enough and they become internalized, or in other words, you genuinely think about and believe the affirmations.

Another good way to develop positive affirmations is to write down a list of past running successes and running strengths.

Just think back on all of the accomplishments you have achieved in your running and all of the things you do well. By writing down specific running accomplishments it helps you to review and relive previous positive experiences. By recalling your past success it serves as a reminder of just how capable you are as a runner and how your hard work can really pay off. Be honest and look back on all the things you have done well in your running. Don't be modest; give yourself the credit you rightfully deserve!

Be sure your affirmation statements are positive in nature and are written for action and what you want to do. Instead of a statement like, “I can run well on a hilly course�, make it in the present and directed to real action, like, “I run well on hilly courses!� Other examples might be, “I relax and focus during the race,�“My long

runs make me strong at the end of races,� or “I maintain my pace consistently.� All of these statements help to enhance confidence and reach running goals.

Try to formulate and write down as many positive affirmation statements as you can and then choose which are the most important ones to you and your running performance. Everyday write the statements out on a piece of paper and post them where you can see them often. Somewhere like on your desk, bathroom mirror or the dashboard of your car. You may even want to write your positive affirmations on a note card or put them on your phone screen so that you see and read them when your have a spare moment or two.

One method that I have found to be very effective in utilizing affirmation statements is to write out a series of individual affirmation statements on small pieces of paper. If you can come up with around 30, even though some may be nearly the same, you can have an affirmation statement for each day of the month. Put the individual pieces of paper with affirmation statements in a small box or envelope and put it beside your bed. Each morning remove one affirmation statement from the box or envelope and read it out loud. Keep it with you during the day and look at it and read it often.

Do this each day for the entire month. By the end of one month you may be surprised at just how much better you feel about your running and how much your confidence has increased. Give it a try!

By constantly looking at and repeating affirmation statements they become embedded in the conscious and unconscious mind and will often flow back into consciousness during training runs and races. The affirmations become your dominant way of thinking. To take affirmation statements to another level try recording the affirmation statements on your phone or MP3 and listen to them during the day, before you run or even during your run if hearing traffic is not an issue. Hearing your own voice repeating these positive statements can have a powerful impact on your thinking patterns, especially when you are under stress. The positive affirmations will flood back into your consciousness when they are needed the most.

So don't be afraid to affirm your running greatness. Use affirmations to bring your confidence and motivation to their highest levels. Remember you become what you tell yourself you will become, so always affirm that you are a great runner with many more great running achievements to come!

Running Through the Age Groups What's Tougher, Altitude or Humidity?

Like many runners in the southeast, I find it hard to endure the summers with my running plans intact. I'm sure you've all heard on many an August morning, “It's not the heat, it's the humidity!”

Having run and dealt with southeastern North Carolina summers for better than two-thirds of my life, you'd think I would have gotten used to it by now! But every summer, around the second or third week of July, I decide I have had enough as we take our annual retreat to our vacation home in the quaint mountain berg of Linville, North Carolina, which sits right at the foot of Grandfather Mountain.

We usually leave after my birthday on July 4 and head up for a week to ten days.

This trip encompasses the annual Grandfather Mountain Highland Games, a highlight of which is “The Bear,” a fivemile hill climb from Linville to the top of Grandfather Mountain. Linville is rather elevated itself - around 3,500 feet - but the trek up Grandfather really beats up the legs and lungs as it wends its way through beautiful but deceptively steep gravel forest lanes and up mind-numbing switchbacks, totaling over 1,500 feet of climbing in just under five miles. The race is so tough that one can expect to run two to three minutes per mile slower than his/her usual race pace.

The race's finish line is over a mile above sea level, and the temperature can range from the high 70's at the start to the low 60's, 50's or even 40's at the finish!

Quite a refreshing break from the 100+ degree heat indices we typically experience in Wilmington during the “dog days of summer” - although I could have done without those switchbacks!

Back in my “glory days”, around a quarter century ago, I ran the Grandfather Mountain Marathon - a 26.2 mile trek from Boone, North Carolina, to an old cinder track about halfway up Grandfather Mountain. This was only my second marathon. I recall during one of the rare and seemingly effortless downhill portions of the race, a conversation with a fellow runner wherein my flatlander heritage and concomitant lack of hill and altitude training was the subject.

He could not understand how I could be running so fast (I ran a 3:36 in that race) with so precious little mountain training.

I explained that the humidity in Wilmington was so bad and that this was such a welcome relief, that it was just refreshing and the hills were a mere minor annoyance.

By Mary Margaret McEachern

What I had not considered at the time is that there are two legitimate scientific reasons behind the great toll high humidity can take on a runner's body. The first is the one most often discussed, and the most obvious - that the body cannot efficiently use its primary cooling mechanism to reduce core temperature in humid conditions. Simply put, one's sweat does not readily evaporate in exceedingly humid conditions, and, therefore, the sweating mechanism simply does not function well in high humidity. The body's core temperature therefore gradually rises as exertion continues, resulting in decreasing performance and a general lack of enjoyment during high humidity runs.

There is a more subtle reason, however, and one that I would argue to be infinitely more important, behind the effect of humidity on the runner's body. This is the concept, quite familiar in the aviation world, known as “density altitude.”

Briefly stated, in hot and humid conditions, the “density altitude” - or effective altitude - at a given location may be much higher than the “true altitude”. Pilots have this concept drilled into their heads in flight school as they must adjust for such conditions by increasing takeoff and landing allowances in humid conditions.

Scientifically stated, as the dampness of the air increases, heavy oxygen molecules are replaced by lighter water molecules, thereby resulting in lower air density and less oxygen per unit air inhaled.

This is the exact same effect caused by the decrease in air pressure that occurs with increasing altitude. Accordingly, training at sea level in the hot, humid weather typical of a Wilmington summer can provide a training effect similar to training at altitude; no wonder it seems so much easier to breathe when the humidity drops! Most runners I have polled have stated that they would take altitude over humidity any day.

The other weekend, I completed “Phase

9

tions.

Just the other day, I was supposed to complete a nine mile run. I started my day a little too late and with temperatures already soaring into the low 90's, so I chose to postpone my run to early the following morning. When I attempted that run the next day, I had to cut it short, not because of the heat (it was a pleasant 78 degrees), but because it was so humid that I found myself struggling for breath even though I was just plodding along. It was no fun and I was tired of suffocating, so I cut it to five miles.

August in Wilmington usually comes with an insufferable level of humidity, so I plan to use it as “altitude training” to the extent possible, but this will mean running fewer miles and at a slower pace than I might prefer. I have given up on getting used to the humidity, so I'll just be content with adjustments in my program and creating escapes, such as cross training with a swim or perhaps taking another trip to the mountains.

Like many of my running buddies, I am biding my time in anticipation of that first crisp fall day. Just the thought of that keeps us going for now. Happy running, and stay cool out there

II” of my annual July “cool and hilly” to “hot and flat” race double. I competed in an event in Beaufort, North Carolina, which is right on the coast. This 10K race is usually so hot that you can bank on running several minutes slower than your typical 10K for a given fitness level. I even heard one runner affectionately describe the race as the “Bermuda Triangle” of running! I awoke on race morning to a surprising and refreshingly cool day with ample cloud cover to keep the sun at bay until the race was over.

Armed with these wonderful conditions and the knowledge that I had completed The Bear just ten days prior, I approached the starting line with delusions of grandeur. What I didn't consider was that even though the morning was cool for mid-July, it remained quite humid. Upon realizing this, about a mile into the race when I couldn't breathe, I adjusted my pace and entered “survival mode”. I managed to run faster than last year, but the time was a full two minutes slower Mary Margaret can be reached at than what I could have run in drier condi- mmmceachern@bellsouth.net

Inspired Daily This Time it was no Picnic!

One of my all-time favorite races is the Picnic Island Adventure Run in Tampa, Florida. It is actually a series of three races that take place once a month on Friday nights in May, June and July. Hot and humid do not begin to describe the weather at 6:45 p.m. on the small island in Tampa Bay under a cloudless summer sky. So once you've accepted the weather factor, you're ready for the real challenge.

This adventure run is unique and definitely not one of those mud runs or extreme obstacle races where you sign away your life in a waiver. I don't do dangerous races like that. Picnic Island is challenging, don't get me wrong, but it is definitely more welcoming to all ages and abilities who are seeking adventure. The obstacles are minor; you crawl under a cargo net on your knees over sand, run through six big, inflated tubes, and then hurdle, jump, walk, or crawl over one hurdle. The rest of the run is on the beach, grassy areas with hills, a couple of very small sections over pavement, and quite a bit through mangroves.

Oh the mangroves! You never know

By Rae Ann Darling-Reed

what to expect until you get there. On July 18, high tide was coming in so the water through the mangroves was pretty deep, very warm, and muddy. Yes, a little bit of “ick” factor, especially if you go splashing through like I did and it hits you in the face.

I always sign up for the three race series but this year I was unable to race the May and June races due to my post Boston Marathon rest period and rehabbing an injury. I knew I was not in top shape, but was very excited to race Picnic Island as well as I could. From the gun, I was out of breath and knew I would be.

I was just trying to hold on to my spot Rae Ann Darling-Reed at the Picnic Island Adventure Run in Tampa, FL

in the top five overall women as we approached the last section of “non-trails” before the toughest part of the course. I say “non-trails” because they are not trails; they are overgrown areas of vegetation that someone walked through when setting up the course and stomped down a single track area for us to squeeze through. I was almost through this section, which is my least favorite of the course, and I tripped. I had an out of body experience. I saw myself floating down towards the ground, almost as if in slow motion. As soon as my knees hit the rocks at the bottom of the slight downhill I popped up, probably cursed (can't remember now), and quickly ran off.

I attacked the five or six steep hills that zigzag up and down from the beach because I was so shocked that I fell and was a bit embarrassed. But I wasn't feeling any pain yet so I finished strong and ended up placing third overall and won Masters. Once I hosed off my legs to assess the damage, then the pain kicked in. So this one was no picnic but even now, two weeks after the event, my knees are still scraped, bruised, and recovering but I cannot wait until next summer when I can run all three Picnic Island Adventure Runs!

Running Through the Bluegrass Make Millions on a Starter Kit for Running?

There should be like a starter kit for running. And experienced runners should have it handy to give out whenever needed, because we've all had that conversation.

It usually goes like this: "I want to start running. What is the key to success?" Or, "I started running and now my (knees) (shins) (feet) (etc.) hurt." Or, "I signed up for a half-marathon in two months. How should I train?"

In some ways, I think I've been developing this starter kit. I just need to bundle it and make millions.

Sometimes I think people feel guilty, almost, being around me and not being a runner. Since leaving the running specialty store at which I worked, coworkers at both jobs have succumbed to the subconscious pressure. I don't think it's because I make it sound like tons of fun, either.

The latest to fall is my boss. Poor guy.

Sitting closest to me in the office must mean the force field is strongest. My soon-to-be sister-in-law also caved, which I think is the recent college grad equiva-

lent of a mid-life crisis.

Starting with when I worked at the running store -- seven years ago -- I have encountered a lot of new runners. I've helped a lot of runners find solutions to injuries, or helped them find the right person to diagnose the problem. I am certainly not the expert, but I tend to approach getting new runners started the same way ... so I guess there is, kind of, a starter kit.

Starter kit, in action 1. The questionaire. Establish fitness/running background and current activity. In Louisville, we have a lot of

them there, just to be a reassuring voice when that $115 pair of shoes that are a size bigger than what you usually wear and are really ugly hit the counter. (What, did you think I was kidding about working in a running store? Five years of complaints about those three things -- price, size, color.)

3. What other gear do they need? Be a good friend and don't let them buy a bunch of gimicky stuff they don't need.

Most folks can get away with not using technical gear to start out with. Obviously if they need to buy workout gear, steer them to the technical stuff, even if it's just Champion or other big-box brands.

Tell them the importance of good socks.

They will thank you the first time their feet are soaked either from southern summer heat and humidity or rain.

Body Glide, too, or your favorite other anti-chafe product. (Personally I use Chamois Butter most.) They will need it for some body part sooner or later. Legs, feet, arms, chest ... whatever. Don't lie to your friend about the ugly part of running -- the blisters, the chafing. (Maybe save the purple toenail issue for later.)

Do they need a GPS watch? Doubtful.

You can measure routes online or use one of a million apps on your smartphone.

Later, maybe, but not to start.

4. How should they train? Carefully.

"Triple Crowners." Folks who sign up for our combo 5k/10k/10 miler series and usually for the half-marathon soon after - they start training in January, complete the races in late February through March, the half in April, then forget what running is again until January.

You want to find out if you're talking to a total newbie or someone who was, likely, a recreational runner who fell off the wagon. Also, if they used to be a runner of some sort, why did they quit? What you're looking for here are injuries so you can try to identify preventative solutions.

Next -- do they have a goal? Is there a race coming up? A weight loss goal? Will setting a goal help keep them motivated?

2. Do they have appropriate running shoes? Almost certainly not. Direct them to your favorite specialty shop. Even better, see if you can get some coupons from your shop to give to new runners. This works for me because I run for a store team, I know all the employees and I know they'll make sure my referrals get the right shoes. Sometimes I'll even meet CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

“When we travel as a team, we eat at fast food places because they fit with our small budget.What's the best fast food for athletes...?”

“After my workout, the last thing I want to do is cook dinner.

Where can I buy affordable but healthy sports meals...?”

A limited food budget creates a fueling challenge for many runners, including college teams traveling to cross-country meets, students responsible for their own meals, parents of active kids, and aspiring Olympians hoping to get to the next level. The name of the fueling game is: How can you buy enough healthy calories with the least amount of money? These practical tips can help optimize a low-budget sports diet.

1. Encourage the team bus (or your car) to stop at a large supermarket.

Everyone can find something they like: vegetarians, glutenfree eaters, picky eaters who want to lose weight, and chowhounds who need lots of calories. By walking around the inside perimeter of the store, you will find the makings for a balanced meal - even hot meals, if desired. Shop for: Fresh fruit: Banana, apple, pear, grapes. Buy what's on sale.

Fresh veggies: While you can easily create a colorful salad at the salad bar area, it might be a bit pricey. The simpler option is to simply buy: a green or red pepper (eat it whole, as you might eat an apple), a bag of baby carrots (along with a container of hummus), or a container of cherry tomatoes. Enjoy the whole thing; a hefty dose of veggies on one day can help compensate for another day when you have none.

(To clean the fresh produce, plan ahead. Pack extra water to rinse the produce before getting on the bus. Or nicely ask an employee in the store's produce area if he or she could help you by giving the fresh produce a quick rinse.)

Protein: Buy a quarter-pound of deli turkey, roast beef, or ham along with a few whole wheat rolls to make sandwiches. Small or large tubs of cottage cheese, tuna packets, and peanut butter are other popular protein options. Share a rotisserie chicken with friends (or save the leftovers if you can refrigerate them within an hour.)

Grains and other carbs: Pita, wraps, baked chips, whole-grain crackers and pretzels are carb-based options that refuel your muscles. Look for freshly baked whole-wheat rolls, hearty breads, and whole-grain bagels. You might be able to find a plastic knife at the salad bar so you can slice the rolls to make a nice sandwich with deli meat and lowfat cheese. Pop a few cherry tomatoes between bites, and you'll have a balanced meal with all 4 foods groups: 1) lean meats/beans/nuts, 2) lowfat dairy or calcium-alternative, 3) fruit/vegetable, 4) grain.

Calcium-rich foods: You can easily buy a small or large tub of lowfat yogurt, a single milk chug - or even a whole a quart of chocolate milk if you are really hungry. For runners who are dairy-free, soymilk is a fine alternative. Pick up some pre-sliced lowfat cheese in the dairy or deli area. (Note: Hard cheese, such as cheddar, is lactose-free and comes in convenient single portions.) Add an apple and whole grain crackers - voila, a balanced sports meal! While it may not be the hot meal your mom had in mind, it will do the job of contributing needed nutrients to refuel from the day's event, fuel-up for tomorrow, and invest in future good health.

Beverages: You can save a lot of money (plus save space in landfills) by packing your own gallon jug of water. To spend money on plain water (void of calories, carbs, and vitamins) seems wasteful when tap water is free. Instead buy 100% juice (orange, grape, carrot, V-8) to boost your fruit/veggie intake and simultaneously boost your immune system with anti-inflammatory phytochemicals. Plus, 100% juice is a strong source of car-

bohydrate to refuel depleted muscles, as well as fluid to replace sweat losses. Chocolate milk is another winning beverage, with protein to build and repair exhausted muscles, as well as carbs to refuel them.

If the team bus (or your car) is pulling into a fast food restaurant, at least choose one that will support the nutritional needs of athletes. Here are a few suggestions: • At Taco Bell, you can get the most amount of healthy calories for a bargain price when you order their bean burrito. Two bean burritos cost only $2.20 and provide 750 (mostly quality) calories.

• At a burger place, choose a grilled chicken sandwich (no fries). It will be more expensive and offer fewer calories than a burger, so plan to supplement the sandwich with some Fig Newtons, pretzels or raisins that you pre-packed from home.

• At a pizza place, order the cheese pizza, preferably with veggie toppings like mushroom, pepper, and/or onion. Nix the pepperoni, sausage and other greasy meat options, as well as the double cheese. You'd end up fat-loading with that type of pizza.

It would fill your stomach but leave your muscles poorly fueled.

Remember: muscles need carbs (such as thick pizza crust) to replenish glycogen stores.

• Be cautious of super salads. While they have a seemingly healthy glow, they can be unfriendly for many sports diets, particularly if you are weight-conscious. Making a substantial salad with not only colorful veggies but also grated cheese, chopped egg, diced chicken, slivered almonds, pumpkin seeds, and olives can offer you a hefty dose of calories, but not enough grains/carbs to refuel your muscles. Adding even a little bit of dressing to a big salad often adds 400 or more calories.

Sometimes a sandwich can have fewer calories for dieters.

• Hungry athletes who need lots of inexpensive calories can do well by packing sandwiches made with peanut butter & jelly (or PB & jam, honey, raisins, banana, pickles or even cottage cheese - whatever tastes good to you). Peanut butter is versatile and a great sports food because it offers protein, B-vitamins, and good fats that knock down inflammation. It's inexpensive, travels well without refrigeration, is good for you, and tastes great! It's even good for dieters because it keeps you feeling fed, and curbs the urge to eat cookies. For the $2 needed to slap together a hefty 600-calorie PB&J (made with 2 slices Pepperidge Farm Bread, 3 Tbsp.Teddie all-natural peanut butter, and 2 Tbsp. Welch's grape jelly), you couldn't even buy a Muscle Milk ($3.69 for 230 calories). Shop wisely and fuel well!

Masters Running A View from the Back of the Pack A few days after the Peachtree Road Race, I came upon a story about it. Not about the race itself, but what happened afterwards in Piedmont Park where everybody gathered after the finish. Publix was a very generous sponsor, providing plenty of refreshments for the runners. More than enough to feed all the 60,000 that had signed up. There were bagels, bananas, sports drinks, granola bars - and peaches of course!

But not every runner got something to eat. Faster runners were hoarding the food, some walking away with shopping bags full of goodies. So when the back of the packers came in, many after being out in the heat for much more than an hour, there was no food left for them. Not even water!

Maybe there needs to be a different strategy for how to distribute food to runners at Peachtree and other major races. Rather than having a “free for all” give away, we could give every runner a bag with one of each item. Or we could put the food out a little at a time. The latter strategy works for Lake Grapevine Runners and Walkers in Grapevine, TX. They ask volunteers at their races to set some of the food and refreshments aside for back of the pack finishers.

I chose to open this month's column with ”the Peachtree incident” because it made me realize that there are a myriad of challenges facing back of the pack runners.

And if we are fortunate enough to live and run into old age, we will all join their ranks some day.

Personally I have never run a race in the back of the pack. However I am sure that if I am still living and running 20 years from now (when I will be 83 years old) you will find me there! And then I may have to contend with traffic on the course, no water, no volunteers or markers directing me at turns,

very few spectators, and yes, no refreshments after the finish. Back of the packers pay the same entry fee as those running in the front or in the middle, but they often have a completely different experience.

If a race has an advertised time frame that the course will be open, then at least in theory there will be volunteers giving you water and directions as long as you stay on pace to finish during that time. Shorter races (5K - 10K range) usually have no stipulated maximum time on the entry form, which could be interpreted to mean that the course will be open and water available until the last runner has finished, regardless of their pace.

But in reality, this isn't always the case.

Both according to blogs by slower runners that I have read and back of the pack runners that I have spoken to, water stops often run out of water before they get there, and there are slim pickings or nothing at all at the food tables after they finish. Sometimes course monitors are also gone before the last runner passes through. Johanna Outlaw, a back of the pack runner in Raleigh, NC, recalls several occasions when she found empty water tables on the course and no food left at the finish at local 5K races. At one race, she and a friend had to rely on the GPS on her phone to get back to the start/finish area, since the course monitors had left before the two were able to complete the course. Kathryn Gleghorn of Grapevine, TX, was walking the Chicago Marathon with her husband a few years ago. Leading up to the marathon, they walked several races that were advertised as “walker friendly.” But still, they often found slim pickings at the refreshment tables near the end of the course and after the finish.

I understand that it can sometimes be a hardship for course monitors to hang around for what seems like an eternity, waiting for the last runner to pass through.

I also realize that it can be difficult to estimate how much water is needed at each

stop in a race, especially if the weather turns out to be hotter than expected. While some races may “do better” than others, race directors aren't always able to deliver what is promised on the entry form.

Sometimes improvement is possible, but at other times the problems may be due to circumstances beyond their control. So, if you are (or become) a back of the packer, your best bet is to be prepared. Bring your own water, and put a few post race refreshments of your own in your gear bag or car. Bring a phone in case you need directions or other assistance on the course. And be picky when you choose your races! Select those that are accommodating for slower runners - not just on the entry form, but also according to reviews from other runners.

Last but not the least - enjoy your experience! The atmosphere tends to be more relaxed at the middle and back of the pack, where most runners are not “in it to win it,” but rather to get some good exercise in the company of friends, and maybe to improve on last year's time.

This is a stark contrast to the front of the pack where I once belonged -not in absolute terms, but among the women.

Here everybody had their game face on before the start, and you could feel the tension and excitement in the air. Once we got going, spectators would tell me how many women were ahead (good to know, since in a crowded race I couldn't always tell how many snuck ahead of me at the start). And if I happened to be the lead woman, they would let me know that too, cheering me along! There were lots of water and no crowds at the water tables, and plenty of room to “get settled” after I finished. I could pick up my gear bag, get refreshments, and maybe also get a massage before the area got filled up with middle of the pack finishers.

As age gradually took its toll on my body, I have retreated further back in the pack at the races. I am now definitely a middle of the pack runner, which is very different. I often find myself surrounded by a sea of runners at the start, on the course, and in the finish area. Usually I have to exercise some caution at the water stops, so that I don't trip other runners or get tripped myself. But at least so far, there has always been water when I got there. And after I finish there are still bananas and granola bars left.

However, provided I am fortunate enough to be able to continue running for years to come, I will eventually end up in the back of the pack. I will be joined by beginner runners, some of them overweight and in the beginning of a journey that will lead to a healthier and happier life. There will be “charity runners,” in the race to raise funds for leukemia research or some other worthy cause. There will be runners with a variety of challenges, physical or mental, which prevent them from going

13

fast but not from participating. And maybe there will be some octogenarians, still going strong. In 20 years, I hope I will be one of them.

We will be the true heroes of the race, hobbling in maybe hours after the elite runners cross the finish line. By the time we finish, some of the faster runners will already be in the shower. But as long as we pay our entry fee and stay on pace if there is a maximum finish time, we belong in the race.

So faster runners, please save some food and water for us!

Running Fitness Up With People Reunion I have stayed away from high school and college reunions because of cost and, mainly, time. But there was one I always wanted to go to and f inally had an incredible opportunity as a speaker.

When I was 18, I spent two years traveling the world with the International Cast of Up With People, an international singing and dancing group made up of kids from almost everywhere on the globe. They performed at more Super Bowl halftime shows than any other group.

After 49 years, their message via music, the international language, is more relevant today than ever: humans are way more alike than different. We desperately need to recognize and celebrate that. The cast never stays in hotels, always in homes. I discovered early on that I had a passion for doing media interviews where I would say, “Please open your heart, home, and refrigerators for our 120 cast members.” That experience led me to be asked to return the following year as part of the full-time advance staff team. I helped in the logistics of a CBS documentary about Up With People that totally ignited a fun 18-year stint as a TV investigative reporter. Doing TV interviews in my teens with naturally inquisitive real-life reporters led me to f ind a way to do the same thing.

Two years ago, I got a call from the Up With People Alumni Association president who said, “We consider you are our most prolif ic book author.

Will you come speak?” I initially accepted the invite, but then the National Senior Games announced my competition events would be exactly the same day. I had been training for that, and given that I would eventually place there seventh in my age group in the 1500 meters, after qualifying at the county and state level, I felt I had made the right decision not to go. The expensive Senior Games process was a once-ina-lifetime opportunity that I would not repeat.

With some trepidation, I attended the reunion this month, and participated in the non-stop days singing and dancing our cast songs, and watching shows from other “eras.” It

was thrilling to reconnect with old friends, fun to smile at everyone and celebrate positive energy. Even more thrilling, watching and hearing stories of the young cast members adventures and travels to Israel and the upcoming Cuba trip.

I have spoken to many audiences who were not at all interested in eating vegan … Kiwanis and Rotaries who apologized as they ate the preordered breakfast or lunch of bacon, ham, or burgers while I spoke. I expected this would be as mainstream an audience as I would ever have. At my talk and while speaking with some of the 2,000 attendees at my table afterwards, I was blown away at the interest in what I've done and how I've done it. I have never been treated with such warmth, respect and genuine enthusiasm.

I was the only speaker invited to speak about something other than Up With People related. I just didn't know how much interest there would be in eating vegan. What I found is that the message from vegan bodybuilding to more ordinary people like me is getting out. As people recognize that most US doctors don't get a single nutrition class in medical school, after answering the question, “Why,” patients are forced to look elsewhere for role models and information.

When I traveled on the road in 1971, part of my job was rolling into the closest fast-food joint and saying, “In about an hour, 120 college kids are going to roll in here and want lunch.” We lived on fast food and soda. Many of the girls, including me, gained 25 pounds or more over a year. We just didn't know.

This year, I was so encouraged to meet a cast staff member whose only

job was to lead workouts and nutrition education for cast members every day. How much we have learned in 42 years since I traveled!

What I recognized is that the warm reception was due to the innate characteristics of our group. Those of us who could sing were placed closer to microphones. Those who could dance did that. Even as just the “back-row strength,” most of us self-selected into the group because we were extroverted, driven, energetic and valued creative movement. The very f irst female runner I had ever met was in our cast.

Yet with all that, years take their toll. I have observed as I age, my commitment of time and energy to nutrition and exercise, have made me a bit of a curiosity. In short, the way I look at almost 62, as physical therapists have told me, is pretty different from most people my age.

Perhaps because some in this audience knew me as a teen-age blimp, they were hungry to hear what worked.

Up With People taught compassion at an age when most of my collegeage friends had never considered it.

The idea that we are more alike than different caused us to treat the world as our classroom, and to ask questions as the title of one of our songs did, “What color is God's skin?”

Curiosity now about how I do what I do was an extension of that.

The most amazing feedback I received was a man who came up to my table and said, “I'm 56 and had a triple bypass six weeks ago. I had considered going vegan before that, but seeing you has convinced me to do it right now.” Several vegan (or as the less intimidating, “plant-based” euphemistic phrase that some use) doctors have researched and written books about their research reversing heart disease.

I was also very surprised at the number of people who told me they were vegan for animal rights and/or health reasons. I always say to audiences, “Every time any vegetable makes it onto your plate, it's a victory. I don't judge. Blood tests never lie. Whatever works. But we all can f ind common ground that at the very least, we need to be eating more plants.”

Slowly. I always return back to the CouchTo-5k program. It served me very well when I started running. It keeps you out of trouble and always seems manageable.

Now, eight years after I started that program, I can still remember putting in the work those first few weeks, then being anxious when the schedule read "Run 2 miles." Not "run 2 minutes, walk 1 minutes." Just run 2 miles. TWO MILES! I thought. There is no way. And then I did it, and it was easy. That was how the whole plan went. On the occasions I felt daunted, I soon found out there was no need to fear. There are, I am sure, other great starter programs out there, but this is my go-to.

5. Where should they run? Give them maps or descriptions of your favorite routes. You can map them at sites like http://www.gmap-pedometer.com, send them links to your Garmin files, whatever. Save them the hassle of finding out (Louisville reference here) that Willis is a stupid, stupid street to try and run down, but Dayton one block over is lovely. Tell them where they can find water fountains, too. (I made a Google Map of Louisville water fountains that we shared with running store folks and that I still update.

Find it here: bit.ly/1sc2c3Z) 6. Support them, encourage them -- be their cheerleader. When they are beaming and describing how great their 2.4 mile run was, DO NOT say, "Yeah, I got in an easy 8 this morning." Know when to just shut up and tell them how awesome they are. Be there for their first race. Help them find ways to make the schedule work when it doesn't fit their life, help them get back on the wagon if they fall off.

"Baby runners" are the future of not just running, but our country. Consider the obesity rates in our country, and, in particular, many of the states we live in. Sorry, Running Journal, but you don't cover the healthiest geographic region. If each of us can encourage just a couple of people to adopt a healthier lifestyle, imagine how incredible that would be -- and how rewarding.

Look, we all know I'll never make millions off this starter kit, so feel free to steal it the next time you're watching a baby runner about to hatch.

Women’s Running Back to the Track After 25 Years When I was asked to compete at the National Masters Track and Field Championship for my Atlanta Track Club, I was hesitant. I had not been on the track for over 25 years and sustained some plantar fascia problems in my last track endeavor. Plus my marathon a month birthday celebration does not equate to speedy track times. But I am the consummate team person so I relented and committed to the 800, 1500 and the relays. I had a marathon (number eight) in San Francisco the following weekend and did not think the 5000 or 10,000 would be prudent.

I must admit that I was thrilled with my decision after it was all over. I met eight of my teammates in Atlanta for the drive to Winston-Salem, NC. After a drive filled with much conversation and anticipation, we arrived around 4:30pm and went directly to Wake Forest University Track to pick up our packets as events started on Thursday morning. There were many folks milling about and we viewed the track in awe, then went for a short shake out run around the beautiful university. We checked into our hotel with warm cookies awaiting us and managed to get to dinner and to bed before 11pm.

The following morning we were up early and off to the track. In track and field, you have to go through a process of declaring for your event at the officials tent at least an hour before your event is scheduled, then you have to check in 20 minutes prior to your event. Unfortunately track event and field events frequently get behind schedule so I was ready for my 11am event at 10:40am but the event did not go off until nearly noon. Of course it had warmed up and we had to stay in the area near the officials tent, so I must admit when we were finally led to the starting for the 800, I felt like I was being led to the guillotine.

However the event went quickly for this marathoner and I took a bronze medal in a surprising 3:32. I had promised my husband that I would not push too much and pull something and I did what I promised.

The day proceeded with many different events in every age category from 30 to nearly 100 (actually 97). I was amazed at the range of talent as several of my teammates smoked the competition. We all sat together and we cheered and commiserated. The older runners were truly amazing as they were out there doing the same distances as the youngsters. A wide variety of folks competed in all of the field events and those of us who are on the distance team marveled at the strength of the field event folks and the speed of the sprinters.

The ATC took a team of 75 competitors and our red was the most visible color of the meet. We stayed under our tents in the bleachers and in uniform all day when not competing and we were cheering loudly and supporting all of our runners. It was a magnificent scene. Several thousand athletes came from all over the USA and Canada. The ATC was hoping for a national title but we came up a few points short but took a commanding second place.

Every day of the four days of events led to more spectacular finishes and bonded everyone closer. There were quite a few booths selling food, drinks, and assorted memorabilia. There was even a t-shirt option with the names of every person entered in the meet printed on the back of the shirt.

I must admit that I was not sure what exactly would take place but my teammates were helpful and we all took care

of each other. Wake Forest has a magnificent track facility and they shared it all with the masters athletes. It was intimidating initially but everyone eventually got in the spirit. As each day passed I became more confident and not as overwhelmed by the differences in the sports. We were all masters athletes trying to do what we could for our team!

I believe that as runners we should all try different activities to stretch our limits and keep us motivated. I have found that track and field awakened my interest in an aspect of running that I long ago left behind. There are no hills and you always know where you are in most events. I will confess that I did not tax myself mentally with the 5000 or 10000 meters although the officials do an admirable job of counting for you if you want to run in circles that many times. I was actually amazed that this 65year-old self professed marathoner does have a bit of speed left in my legs. I ran at a pace that was doable for me so I would not pull anything as I continue my marathon a month celebration.

What truly was incredible was the number of folks who devote themselves full time to training for track and field.

They put in hours of practice, perfecting techniques and increasing their strength. Although they may not put in lots of miles, they work every bit as hard as we distance folks.

Many crossover between track and field and distance. I learned a great deal from the other competitors and found four-plus days of togetherness give you a sense of family unlike any I have ever had in road races. We were one for nearly five days and got to know each other fairly well.

I did discover that many track and field athletes struggle with lots of strained muscles and tendons. But they stretch, take lots of ice baths, and just get it done. They seem a bit more stalwart than road runners. They have fewer events and strive to be as ready as possible when the meets occur.

The next national masters track and field championships are in Jacksonville, FL, next summer. I encourage you to consider finding a team in your area and entering a few events. It certainly will make for less miles during our hot and humid summers in the south. You may discover as I did that a new experience may be just what you need. I hope to be there next year and not let another 25 years pass before I return to the track.

2014 FALL presents

F

all 2014 continues to demonstrate the topsyturvy nature of the running shoe world: merging categories (there are only two Motion Stabilizing shoes in this review), an ever-increasing smorgasbord of features, new brands and models, not to mention the influence of the result of recent lawsuits. (OK, we just mentioned it.) Marketplace demands have created an atmosphere of consumer suspicions that there might be more smoke and mirrors than necessary. Yeah, it is confusing but three things are unchanged: foot shape, foot motion, and footstrike. These remain the best metrics for selecting a shoe. Most shoes we’ve reviewed here are semicurved and will fit the average medium-arched foot. They do have a bit of play, though, to accommodate feet that have slightly more or less volume (girth) than average.

This is why it’s important to try on a few models from several of the brands—to make sure they fit you properly. This is especially important after your favorite shoe has been updated; those little changes may not affect the shoe’s performance for you, or they could be a deal breaker. Look closely at our recommendation for the type of feet the shoes fit, and the comments of our weartesters.

Then visit a running specialty store and let them do their job: fit you with the best shoes for you.

Keep running, my friends.

SHOE REVIEW W

elcome to the 2014 Fall Shoe Review from the FORTIUS Media Group, LLC partner publications and websites. We’ve been reviewing running footwear for you, our readers, since 1998. The team of footwear reviewer Cregg Weinmann, designer Kristen Cerer, proofreader Marg Sumner, and project manager Christine Johnson, along with our many shoe weartesters, strives to provide clear, concise reviews of the best running products in the world.

Our goal is simple: to help you find the perfect running shoe for you.

So, where should you go to try out and purchase your shoes? We strongly recommend a running specialty retailer. In other words, buy your shoes from one of your local running stores.

If you want to buy online, go to the local running store’s website. Why do we encourage this?

First, because we think that you get the proper fitting and, second, because you’re supporting the place that gives you information throughout the year and sponsors your local events and school teams.

FORTIUS Media Group, LLC continues to evolve. We thank you for your patience and appreciate your support and encouragement as we continue to grow. The varied ways we’re able to provide running content—footwear and otherwise—are expanding. Look for social media options, digital video, and where appropriate, print that’ll be headed your way in the coming months.

Mile here in Raleigh.

She brought that distance to life back in 2006 on a freezing cold November day on the campus of North Carolina State University.

Many of her friends in the running community bundled up and turned out to support her on that frosty day and to run the very first Magnificent Mile race.

Just two years before that race, Sarah, a runner herself, had been diagnosed with Primary Lateral Sclerosis, a motor neuron disease related to ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease.

Nine years later, Sarah is doing well. She uses a wheelchair to get around, and is constantly on the move as a full-fledged active soccer mom and well-respected race director.

The 2014 Magnificent Mile, now in its ninth year, takes place on Sept. 14 in downtown Raleigh. During its lifetime, the race has attracted more than 7,000 runners and raised over $450,000 for research into finding cures for motor neuron diseases and disorders.

This year, Sarah expects around 1,200 runners to register, including a healthy field of elite men and women for the Magnificent Mile's two competitive races. A recreational walk-run, two kids' runs, and a street festival will round out the activities.

Sarah admits to having mixed feelings about other mile-long races joining the running landscape in Raleigh.

“It has been nice being the only game in town,” she said in a telephone interview. “But actually, I'm glad the mile is growing in popularity.”

She believes the Sir Walter Miler made a good lead-in to her Magnificent Mile, and the Sir Walter's track format and invitational fields made it a completely different type of race.

Sarah realizes other mile races will

Barbara Latta of Raleigh, who holds the United States Women's Running Streak Record with over 30 years of everyday running congratulates Sandy Roberts of Raleigh, who finished the Sir Walter Miler in Raleigh in 4:05.02. Barbara led the field of local celebrity runners and Sandy attempted to run the mile in under 4:00.

increase awareness and participation overall, including in her Magnificent Mile. As the old saying goes - “A rising tide lifts all boats.”

Pat Price Pat Price doesn't run as much as he used to in his younger days, but he still harbors a deep passion for the sport.

A writer and blogger, he ran on the Providence High School cross country team in Charlotte, and his team was ranked fifth in the state. As an invited track and field walkon at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, his running career was derailed by injuries, but he picked it back up and ran on an East Carolina University club team while pursuing a master's degree and has run the Boston Marathon.

The elite women line up to give it all they've got in the Sir Walter Miler in Raleigh, N.C. Heidi Gregson won in 4:34.05. From left: Caitlin Bullock, Durham; Amanda LoPiccolo, Durham; Andie Cozzarelli, Raleigh; Stephanie Garcia (pacer), Greenville, S.C.; Ericka Charles, Durham; Heidi Gregson, Greenville, S.C.; Cydney Ross, Highland Park, N.J. and Lyndsay Harper, San Francisco, Calif.

“There are tons of 5Ks but not everyone wants to run a 5K,” Pat said in a phone interview. “The half marathon is growing in popularity, but a mile is different - a change of pace.”

Roger Bannister On May 6, 2014, runners all over the world celebrated the 60th Anniversary of Roger Bannister's historic sub-4:00 minute mile on a wet, windswept track in Oxford, England.

Roger Bannister, at the age of 85, celebrated, too.

He was a 25-year-old medical student on May 6, 1954 when he set his world record and set the stage for thousands of runners to follow in his fast footsteps. No other human being had ever run a mile in less than 4:00.

On the 60th Anniversary of his epic run, he told a reporter for the Guardian Newspaper that he very nearly did not run at all that day because of gale-force winds blowing up to 25 miles per hour.

According to reports, his training was sparse (he averaged 35 miles per week), and the track was constructed of unforgiving cinder.

Still, he finished in 3:59.4.

Bannister predicted his record would not last long, and six weeks after he cracked the 4-mile barrier, his biggest rival, John Landy, ran an even faster mile in 3:57.9.

Just months later, on Aug. 7, the two fastest milers in the world raced each other at the British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Vancouver, B.C. in an event that has become known as “The Miracle Mile.”

As the story goes, the rivals were neck and neck coming down the stretch for the final 100 meters when Landy glanced back over his left shoulder to look for Bannister, slowing down just enough to give his rival the edge he needed to pass him on the right and win the race.

And yes, both men finished with sub-4:00 times.

For the past two years, he has teamed up with Sandy Roberts and Logan Roberts to create a mile race that is getting noticed. Last year, the race came together quickly, designed specifically for Sandy to attempt to break a 4:00 mile. Thanks to social media, news traveled quickly, and The Sandman event attracted 400 spectators and made the local news. Recognizing a good thing when they saw it, Pat teamed up with Sandy and Logan again and developed a four-month planning window.

The Sir Walter Miler was born. By all accounts it was a success, and Pat is pleased with the way it turned out - three sub-4:00 miles for the men, and a state record for the women.

An estimated turnout of 1,000 spectators Teri Saylor is a writer and runner who lives on a rainy Friday night was a predictor of in Raleigh, N.C. Get in touch with her at growing interest in a race like the Sir Walter. terisaylor@hotmail.com

Ford Palmer of Atlantic City, NJ became the first runner to break a 4:00 mile in North Carolina in 40 years on August 1 when he ran the Sir Walter Miler in 3:57.61

NORTH CAROLINA Masland, Bednosky Win Tough Grandfather Mountain Marathon Boone, NC, resident Caleb Masland won the Grandfather Mountain Marathon a full 17 minutes ahead of his closest competitor, crossing the line in a time of 2:47:55.

But that doesn’t mean the 26.2-mile race, part of the 59th annual Grandfather Mountain Highland Games on July 12, was easy, he said.

“It was tough — definitely the most challenging marathon I’ve ever run,”

Masland said.

It was the first time participating in the event for Masland, 33, an accomplished athlete and running coach who runs for Sketchers Performance. A three-time competitor in the Boston Marathon who has also completed the challenging New River Marathon, Masland said this race was “much harder” than other marathons he has done.

The 47th annual Grandfather Mountain Marathon drew about 320 participants to the starting line at Kidd Brewer Stadium in Boone, putting them through the gauntlet before they finished amid thousands of cheering onlookers at MacRae Meadows in Linville.

“You start hearing the bagpipes … and it really gave me a second wind — or a 10th,” Masland said of the finish.

The second-place finisher was Ron Fleming, 34, of Rocky Mount with a time of 3:05:19. Third place went to Matthew Hitechew, 32, of Newland, who finished in 3:12:55.

The first female finisher was Annette Bednosky, 47, of Jefferson, who finished in 3:28:35.

She was followed by Alisha Little, 33, of Lenoir, at 3:31:14 and Phyllis Tsang, 32, of Charlotte at 3:32:57.

Fleming, the second man to cross the finish line, repeated what many runners echoed about the strenuous course.

“The scenery was really beautiful, but overall the marathon was pretty brutal,” said Fleming, who was running the marathon for the second time.

It was also the second time running this event for Hitechew, the third-place finisher. An ultra-marathoner, Hitechew said he was used to running distances beyond the marathon length but said, “I’ll always run this marathon.”

The female finishers were equally impressive, including ultra-marathoner Bednosky, a frequent competitor in the Highland Games running events. In June, she also won the Critter Crawl, a 5K race up Grandfather Mountain.

“If I can run it, I’m happy,” she said.

Little, the second female finisher, also was the second-place female in The Bear, a 5-mile foot race from Linville up Grandfather Mountain to the Mile High Swinging Bridge.

The location was about the only thing the two competitions shared, she said.

“The marathon’s a whole different animal than a 5-mile run,” she said. “The last two miles were real tough. I faked it ’til I made it.”

ish line, said she tried to run conservatively at the beginning to save energy for the end.

“I try to think of it as 20 miles of warmup and then six miles of do what you can,” she said.

Despite exceptional efforts from the marathon runners, the course records still stand. The course record remains at 2:34:51, set by Michael Harrison in 1994.

The women’s course record was set at 3:01:54 by Patti Shephard in 1997.

Race Coordindator Jim Deni said he was pleased with how smoothly the marathon went Saturday. The race drew runners from 31 states and Singapore, and competitors’ ages ranged from 15 to 75, he said.

The hilly race climbed from an elevation of 3,333 feet to 4,279 feet, a climb that adds to its reputation as one of the toughest marathons in the country.

“The trick to running this is if you attack it, you’re going to blow up,” Deni said. “If you go out hard and say, ‘I’m going to crush this course,’ it will crush you.”
