'Can You Paint a Vision of Christmas in a Poem?'

When out from the kitchen there arose such a clatter, Twas Connie's husband Hank, his hand in a bowl of batter! Hank didn't try to hide it, he knew he'd been caught, “Out of all places, not in a cookie jar but in batter,” Hank thought.

How does Santa sound? What does he wear? What does he drive? What does he eat and just how the heck does he get down that dirty chimney? These were likely all questions asked of Mr. Clement Clarke Moore by his children before he wrote the ever-popular “A Visit from Saint Nicholas” - later and better known as “Twas the Night Before Christmas.”

First published on Dec. 23, 1823, the literary work is a timeless classic building holiday excitement during the magical days leading to the holiday. Perhaps you would have painted a similar picture, or perhaps, as a runner, your sugar-plum visions would have varied somewhat from Moore's if you had been asked, “Can You Paint a Vision of Christmas in a Poem?”

Connie couldn't help but laugh as Hank licked his hand, She reached for the vegetable oil with which to grease the pan. Then out from the fridge came the peppermint bark, Followed by fudge, creamy pudding and tempting lemon tarts.

With their bellies all full, Hank's pants about to split, They needed an intervention, they needed help from St. Nick! They pushed away the plates that served the desserts they just had, And at the table they sat down with a pencil and a pad.

Time to Think Long Distance It’s that time of year again, time for our semi-annual Marathon and Long Distance Directory. In the following pages, you will find a list of many great long distance events across the south as well as some events outside of our region. These races take place in the first half of 2015.

Maybe you want to make training for a marathon a New Year’s Resolution?

There are a variety of events to choose for, both large and small. If you are looking for a trip to plan a vacation around, you will find many great choices … a trip to the beach after the long winter sounds good doesn’t it? If you want to run a good time, you’ll find those that are “flat and fast,” or if just having a good time as in “fun” is what you are looking for, those are easy to locate also.

After you’ve chosen your race(s), be sure to get your entry in early as many races fill up fast. Then all that will be left to do is train!

Remember to check our marathon and ultra-calendar throughout the year in the back of each issue as we will continue to update information.

The state sections will list other long-distance races. We also do frequent updates on our Web site: www.running.net.

Running Fitness Winning PETA's 'Sexiest Vegan Over 50' (Editor's note: Ellen reflects on winning PETA's Sexiest Vegan over 50 contest and her non-vegan husband's heart attack and open heart surgery.)

When I heard I'd won, I was truly surprised.

Especially by the announcement itself: http://prime.peta.org/sexiest-veganover-50-contest/winners What does it really mean to win this contest? I was a little leery about entering. After all, I went to college during a time when I helped set up the f irst women's self-help clinic on my campus. I was the f irst woman to anchor the evening news in the city of my f irst job.

In f inancial services, the ratio of men to women was 10:1. I learned a great deal that helped me crunch the numbers and develop the concepts for Eat Vegan on $4 a Day. Every one of the recipes had an estimated price based on ingredients found at any big box or grocery store. I got so tired of hearing stories on the news that said you couldn't eat well on a budget.

My second book, Kitchen Divided, was born on the road as I found so many new vegans, in particular, had begun their journey leaving friends and family members behind. I began asking audiences, "How many of you live in a mixed marriage, where one is veg and one is not?" I love f inding new ways to entice people to the vegan table. First was through the wallet, next through making peace in the kitchen, and my third child, Paleo Vegan, was born as some of my friends, even some who were vegan, began embracing the paleo fad.

It seemed to me that most of the meat-based paleo books I read were just the high-protein diets all over again, nicely marketed and cleaned up a bit. The research I found supported that we were way more gatherers than hunters. The September edition of National Graphic Magazine and its aptly titled cover story, "The Real Paleo Diet," agreed with me. It was full of great quotes supporting veganism and the many concepts and research quoted in my book.

As I write this, my non-vegan husband, Clarence, just suffered a neardeath heart attack and subsequent open-heart surgery. We met as young

By Ellen Jaffe Jones

TV reporters at competing stations in Miami in the 1980's before the word "vegan" was commonly used or practiced. I went vegan but he did not. It broke my heart. It nearly killed his.

If he had made it to the hospital an hour later, doctors told me, he would have died. They said I saved his life, but it hasn't felt that way. If I had really saved his life, I felt like I would have helped him go vegan years before. My friends tell me not to beat myself up. Yet it is hard not to feel like a failed coach.

Whoever says a vegan diet is complicated or diff icult, hasn't seen what I've seen the past few weeks. They haven't seen this. This is diff icult. A vegan diet, not so much.

Open-heart surgery is complicated and excruciating. The second day after surgery, my husband said, "I am not going through this pain again. I'm ready to eat vegan."

He never estimated how painful having your chest cracked open for open-heart surgery could be. He is 18 years older than me and was so sure this wouldn't happen to him.

I had watched both my parents and a sister have open-heart surgery. My grandparents and many relatives had heart disease, and the precursor, diabetes. Many had breast cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis and Alzheimer's. I was the healthiest adult by a long shot. Genes take a trigger. There is much we can do to defy them.

Despite a congenital heart murmur, my cardiologist told me my heart ejection factor is that of a 21 yearold. Most doctors don't take a single nutrition class in medical school.

Their education is not funded by the broccoli lobby.

Learning from the Young Guns

It's pretty much all runnable except…

Performers of the Year

Words I had never heard describe a race course before I asked what the Paris Mountain 16K Trail Race in Greenville, SC was like: “It's pretty much all runnable except the ten minutes it takes to 'hike' up the mountain.” I have to thank Brian G. who not only answered my question on facebook the night before the race but who also saved a few of us with excellent directions out on the course.

Typically my vacations involve a race so when a friend who attends Furman University in Greenville invited me to visit her for the weekend, she not only found a great, inexpensive flight for me but a trail race.

I booked the ticket and signed up for the race without even researching it. During my trip from Florida to South Carolina, I decided to find out more about this Paris Mountain trail race I was about to run. The distance was

For the final article of 2014 I've decided to remove my coaching hat for a month and put on my running pundit hat. I will attempt to bring you the first (highly doubtful) “best of 2014 list” you read this season and kick off the annual “best of ___” inundation with my list of the top US distance running performers of 2014. This list is completely subjective, based on no set rubric, and is not a survey of “industry professionals.” That being said, there were several athletes this year in the US who were clearly a cut above the rest, and here they are in no particular order: Emma Coburn Coburn might have picked a non-championship year for her coming out party in the women's steeplechase, but she put the rest of the world on notice for the coming years.

Coburn was already the best steeplechaser in the US, but 2014 marked a year where she established herself as one of the best in the world. In the 6 Diamond League races she competed in she finished outside the top 3 only once, including a win at Shanghai and new American Record in Glasgow. Coburn capped her breakout year with a Continental Cup victory.

Evan Jager Next on the list, from one dominating steeplechaser to another, is Evan Jager. Jager has been the best steeplechase runner in the US since he picked up the event in 2012, and 2014 was no exception. Jager took home his 3rd consecutive US national title and ran to two top 3 finishes in the Diamond League Series. In his final steeplechase race of the year Jager broke his own American Record, running a scintillating 8:04 and putting himself in serious contention to win a medal in the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Shalane Flanagan Flanagan is unequivocally the best current US marathoner and one of the best in the world. She proved that again this year with an inspired run in her hometown at the Boston Marathon that saw her lead the field for nearly 20 miles to the fastest day in Boston's history. Flanagan had to settle for 7th, but her time of 2:22:02 makes her the fastest US woman ever at Boston. In September at the Berlin Marathon Flanagan became the 2nd fastest US performer in history when her attempt at Deena Kastor's American Record came up short in her 2:21:14 performance.

Christo Landry The William and Mary graduate had a breakout year in 2014, capturing 3 US titles.

Landry won the US 10 Mile Championships at Cherry Blossom before going on to break the US 25k record and win the 25k Championships in Grand Rapids. Landry won his 3rd title of 2014 by winning the Peachtree Road Race to take the US 10k title. Add in two runner-up finishes at the New Haven 20k and Bix 7 Miler and there is little doubt Landry was the king of roads in 2014.

perfect since I was scheduled to run ten miles on Saturday anyway. I found the Greenville Track Club Trail Runners group on Facebook, posted my question, and received some very interesting answers.

Nervous about running up a mountain, I awoke race morning to SNOW! Yes, snow on Nov. 1st. I was definitely having second thoughts about doing this race. I mean, I moved to Florida almost 20 years ago to escape this weather. We arrived at Paris Mountain at 7 a.m. in complete darkness after a short snow removal session so we could see out the car windows.

Dreading the cold, I picked up my bib number and started to warm up in the parking lot.

I was wearing all the layers of running clothes that I brought with me. After jogging and

By Rae Ann Darling Reed

doing my dynamic warm up, I felt warm enough to remove some layers, so I raced in shorts, a long sleeve shirt, a light jacket, and gloves. I am so thankful that I packed my Brooks Adrenaline trail shoes! That extra tread definitely saved me on the slippery course.

Right before the start, the race director told us to take a map or follow the guy in front of us since all the course markings were washed away by the snow and rain. We were also offered a bottle of water to carry since they did not want to put volunteers out on the course in this cold weather to hand out water. I really did not know what to expect. The biggest hill I train on is the Ringling Bridge in Sarasota.

The course was beautiful. As we ascended Paris Mountain all I could think about was the beauty all around me. I wished I had a camera to try to capture it. Almost the entire trail was single track with lots of rocks, roots, twists, turns, and wet leaves. I just kept repeating to myself: “breathe, focus, and lift your feet.”

Once we reached the part that was not runnable, I tried to enjoy the scenery and take it all in but I had to focus even more on the terrain so I would not trip or fall behind. The higher we went up the mountain, the more snow we encountered. The wind was whipping the snow off the trees so it felt like it was snowing on us.

Once we began the descent, the race was really on. I moved from third female to first and ran down those hills and switchbacks with reckless abandon like I used to do in my high school and college cross-country days. I don't remember thinking about speeding up; it was like instinct just took over. I earned my patch as the overall female winner. I'd like to say that the mountain and those hills were no match for this Florida girl but even four days after the race I had to walk backwards down the stairs.

Molly Huddle If Landry was king of the roads in 2014 then Huddle was queen of everything. The 5,000m star started 2014 with a bang, finishing 3rd at the New York City Half Marathon in her debut, posting the 5th best US time ever with a 1:09:04. She followed that up with the 2nd fastest US 10,000m performance in history of 30:47 before going on to become the first US woman in a decade to win the New York Mini 10K and breaking Mary Slaney's 30 year old 10K US road record.

Huddle won the US 5,000m track title in dramatic fashion before going on to break her own American record at the distance later in the summer, running 14:42. She also dominated the US road racing scene winning all 3 US Championship events she entered in 2014 taking US titles at 5K, 7 miles, and 20K. Galen Rupp The 2012 Olympic Silver Medalist at 10,000m will finish 2014 as the top ranked 10,000m runner in the US for the 4th year in a row, and he will likely add the distinction of being the top ranked 10,000m runner in the world. Rupp ran two 10,000m races in 2014, one to win his 6th national title at the distance, and another to shatter his own American Record with a Diamond League win at the Prefontaine Classic where he ran the fastest time in the world for 2014, a mindblowing 26:44.

Deena Kastor No this isn't 2006, this is the same Deena Kastor who has a three-year-old daughter, set the still standing American Record in the marathon 8 years ago, and is 10 years removed from her bronze medal at the 2004 Olympic Games. As accomplished an athlete that has ever dawned a USA singlet, Kastor's 2014 still makes you do a double take. At 41 years old, Kastor is not only breaking records, but she's having a year that makes a 4th Olympic team in 2016 seem like a real possibility. Kastor broke the world master's record in the half marathon this year running 1:09:36 and taking down the 15K, 10 mile, and 20K world records along the way.

This Running Life Umstead Ultra Loses its Leader, the Race Goes On At the City of Oaks Marathon in Raleigh last month, the race was officially over. The finish line was dismantled, and the finishers' medals packed up. I had grabbed a handful of medals before the boxes were sealed, and along with two other volunteers -- Meri Kotlas and Francesca Winkler -- waited for the final runners who had been out on the course for seven hours.

The final finisher finally made it all 26.2 miles. She was shaky, ill and very hungry. A medical condition prevented her body from processing fructose and her blood sugar had dropped.

We quickly got her some food and water, and we walked her to her car. By the time she got behind the wheel, she was feeling much better and drove herself home.

Several people congratulated us on our efforts to go the extra mile to make sure that last runner made it safely to her car.

This little gesture simply falls under the category of “what would Blake do?”

Tributes to Blake Norwood were posted all over social media the day after his sudden and untimely death on Oct. 29. He collapsed while walking his dog, Bucky, on a beautiful North Carolina autumn day at one of Raleigh's most beautiful recreation areas, Falls Lake -- a paradise for boaters, fishermen and hikers. The Mountains to Sea Trail passes through the basin.

I could not imagine many places Blake would rather be, unless it was William B. Umstead State Park, site of the annual Umstead 100 Endurance Run. “Just a run in the park,” its slogan reads.

And what a run it is.

Entering its 21st year, the Umstead 100 is famous among ultra-marathoners. Boasting a hilly, looping course, the bridle trail surfaces are easy-on-the-knees packed gravel.

Runners strive to complete eight loops, 12.5 miles each.

Designed to indoctrinate beginning ultrarunners, both first timers and long timers have grown to love that race.

The Umstead 100 has long been known for its wonderful spread of tasty food, fully stocked aid stations, a host of friendly volunteers, and an environment that would make you feel like you were attending a family reunion when you showed up for the event weekend.

The race has also become famous for a registration process that sells out its slots within minutes of opening. It is a process that causes runners to plot elaborate strategies involving multiple computers, smart phones, iPads, and even accomplices to get in. Runners who successfully navigate their way onto the event roster are almost as

excited about successfully registering as they are about actually running.

The race attracts runners of all ages from every corner of the United States and many foreign countries. Blake was 100 percent focused on doing whatever it would take to help each runner succeed, and under his kind and caring leadership, many did. He treated his race volunteers like kings and queens and welcomed everyone who participated into his family.

On a rainy, blustery Saturday afternoon, the Bay Leaf Baptist Church was packed

Blake Norwood

with members of Blake's extended family from all walks of life -- lifelong friends from Blake's childhood, former co-workers with the N.C. Department of Transportation, loved ones in the church, and 50 volunteers and runners who made up Blake's running family.

Over the course of the hour-long service and the visitation in the fellowship hall afterwards, we sang, we laughed, we cried, and we swapped stories about Blake and running.

Charlie Barnes, Tom Newnam and Jerry Dudek are among Blake's best friends and running buddies for well over 20 years.

They worked together at the Department of Transportation and would meet up at the Salvation Army in downtown Raleigh to run on their lunch breaks, Charlie said in a eulogy for Blake.

Laughing, and at times choking back tears, Charlie recalled a few of the group's most storied outings, as if their adventures together were like scenes out of the best buddy movie ever.

He recounted a hair raising but hilarious

ultra-cycling tour they took from Pittsburgh, Pa. to Washington, D.C. “We boxed up our bikes and flew to Pittsburgh, only taking with us what we could carry on our bikes,” Charlie said.

“Once we got our bikes reassembled, we left the airport with Blake leading the way. Our first couple of miles was on the freeway.

Unfortunately for us, they had the shoulder closed and barricaded, so we had to ride on the edge of the freeway. That was one of the most frightening times of my life as vehicles zipped by at 65-70 miles per hour, only inches away from us. My mantra as I fervently prayed for our safety was 'hold your line, hold your line, do not swerve.'”

While the freeway excitement seemed to last an eternity for Charlie, he reported that his group of intrepid adventurers continued the rest of the trip safely. They averaged 60 miles a day for six days straight until they reached their destination.

“With all of the riding experience Blake had, he couldn't understand why I was so nervous,” Charlie said.

Charlie said Blake never got lost. He hated to stop for stop signs when cycling.

He was a great leader, and he was a friend to all.

He loved Umstead Park and gave back through volunteering -- spending weeks sprucing up cabins, cleaning up trails, and leaving the park better than he found it.

Blake and ultra-marathoner Joe Lugiano secured a grant from REI and wrangled a number of volunteers to shore up and refurbish 120 campground buildings in the park.

“Blake put in over a thousand hours assisting me in rejuvenating these camps,” Joe said. “We were asked to do one final building - a boathouse in Camp Whispering Pines.”

The two men worked on that building together the day before Blake died.

“He and I were removing the bark from the cypress wood we would be using (to refurbish the boathouse),” Joe said.

Longtime ultra-marathon runner and loyal volunteer Chuck Petersen and his wife Carole were heading out of Raleigh, Florida-bound, when they got word of Blake's death and his funeral. They stopped in their tracks, unpacked some dress clothes and delayed their trip a day.

Chuck recalls many days working hard, helping Blake clean up in Umstead Park.

“You could always count on Blake to show up and set the standard for our work effort, and it was a high one,” Chuck said. “There were many times Blake would say to me 'Chuck, grab the other end of this log, and we'll carry it down the trail.' He made it look easy while I struggled.”

One hot summer day, the two were working hard labor, re-routing a trail along a hillside. “Blake had his eye on the largest rock available, but it was some distance from the trail,” Chuck said. “We were eventually able CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Running Journal • December, 2014

THIS RUNNING LIFE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10

to load it onto a wheelbarrow. Although we were sweating profusely, we slowly moved it toward its planned destination.”

As the two men maneuvered the wheelbarrow to tip it into position, the rock made its move and landed in the exact position where Blake had intended it to rest. “But the rock had other ideas and continued on down the hill, making its own path on the way,” Chuck said. “We watched in disbelief as the rock cascaded down the hill. It eventually crashed into the creek and took the position it retains to this day.

Chuck was exhausted and deflated, but Blake was defiant. “After he uttered a few choice words, he said 'let's go get another rock,' and so we did,” Chuck recounted.

Ask almost anyone who knew Blake, and

they will tell you he was a planner. And a pretty darn good one.

Rhonda Hampton, an ultra marathon runner and longtime associate race director for the Umstead 100 will fill Blake's considerable shoes in future Umstead 100 Endurance Runs. But not because of his death. He had hand-picked Rhonda to take over when the time came for him to step down.

That time came last April, when he officially retired from the post on the race's 20th anniversary, passing the torch to Rhonda.

“We worked on the transition for five years,” Rhonda said. “He wanted the leadership change to be so smooth, he took five years to pull out of the event.”

Over the years, Blake created a gold standard for volunteering. All of the key team leaders were specifically trained in the way Blake believed the race should be managed.

From fully stocked aid stations, to the prop-

er way to fill runners' water bottles, no detail was too small, and in Rhonda, he found a worthy associate.

“We were a lot alike in what we thought the race should be like,” she said. “We almost always thought the same way. He was such a good mentor. Every year, he gave me more and more responsibility, and I am really lucky to have had a great relationship with him over the last six years.”

Blake was all business when it came to the Umstead race, but he was also full of fun. One of his favorite chores on race weekend was to ride his bike all over the course, cheer on the runners, and take photographs, and that is the image Rhonda will miss the most, she said.

He was a familiar figure at the finish line, quick with hugs, kisses, smiles and laughter as he propped up exhausted finishers and presented their buckles as if each runner had won the entire race.

One of Blake's greatest joys as a runner and as founding director of the Umstead 100 Endurance Run was watching “his” beginners succeed in their first hundred miler. On the race website www.umstead100.org, he posted an 11-page document with detailed instructions on how to train for an ultramarathon, how to plan the entire run, and a mile-by-mile description of the entire course.

At the beginning of every race, he held court at a spaghetti dinner and preached his annual sermon to the gathered runners, vol-

11

unteers and their families and friends. Many had heard the same speech over and over for 15 or 20 years, but no one ever got tired of hearing it again - and learning from it.

“All the hard work of training is now behind you and you are poised to begin the adventure of a lifetime,” he would say.

“Enjoy it.”

At the end, he conducted the liturgical call and response like a mantra: “Eat before you are hungry. Drink before you are thirsty, and walk before you are tired.”

On Saturday, March 28, 2015, the starting gun will fire at precisely 6 a.m., sending another crop of runners on an adventure of a lifetime.

Those who knew and loved Blake may see him on the course in every nook and cranny. In all of the familiar places - coasting down Powerline Hill, navigating the notorious Sawtooth 79, climbing Cemetery Hill, turning at the final gate before making the last run up the steps to the finish line.

And they may see Blake standing at the finish line beaming.

They will experience a roller coaster of emotions, but they will keep going. After all, that's what Blake would do.

Distance Memories Last Call at Wakulla From my experience I've known runners to be creatures of habit. They find a brand of running shoes that provide the comfort and support they need and use them exclusively. They blaze a favorite trail known only to them and run it again and again until they're able to know what time it is simply by realizing where they are on the route at any given time. They discover a drink or a snack - sometimes both that have served them well during their runs and refuse to try anything else.

And if that runner is anything like me, they find a race they really enjoy and die a thousand deaths when that race is no more.

The first race falling into that category was the Olander Park 24-Hour Run, held on a shaded 1.09-mile asphalt path around a beautiful lake in Sylvania, Ohio. Race Director Tom Falvey had the unique ability of making everyone feel like a champion: The runner who completed 50 miles in 24 hours was given the same accolades as the winner who ran more than 150.

Over time the number of entrants no longer supported the expenses for conducting the 24-Hour Run, so in 2003 it was turned into a 100-Mile event. I ran it twice more and then - in the blink of an eye - it was gone. However, the memories remain. In its 24-hour format, completing one hundred and twenty-nine miles in 2002 helped me land an invitation to the 2003 Badwater Ultramarathon. As a 100mile event, running with my friend Gary Griffin in 2004 and seeing him finish his first 100-miler, and then Gary and I running it again in 2005 where we both saw mutual friend Susan Lance finish her first 100-miler.

The second race that fell by the wayside was the Atlanta Marathon. Since 1981 I had spent every Thanksgiving morning lining up for 'the South's oldest marathon' until it was taken away - cold turkey, no less - in 2010. Out of respect I ran the marathon course on Thanksgiving morning for several more years until I grew weary of running on a route filled with unchaperoned holiday morning traffic in busy downtown Atlanta.

Last year I said my goodbyes to the good people at Brooks Elementary School in Brooks, Georgia as their PTO put on the 31st and final edition of the Brooks Day 10K. I'll miss so much about this quaint little race held in conjunction with the Brooks Day Festival on the second Saturday in May: Walking the halls of the school to use the restroom one last

time before the race and seeing all the students' drawings and paintings proudly displayed on the bulletin boards, attending the awards presentation and listening for the names of the runners I ran with every weekend as they were called to the main stage to receive their awards, and heading over to the festivities in the park afterwards to watch the youngsters play T-Ball while enjoying a hot, fresh funnel cake courtesy of one of the local merchants.

In December, I'll be heading down to the Florida panhandle to run in the Dec. 13 Tallahassee Ultra Distance Classic (TUDC). Next year the race moves to a new venue and I want to enjoy the cozy confines of Wakulla Springs State Park, where it's been held since I fell in love with it the very first time I ran it back in 1998, one last time. The quiet seclusion and natural beauty the park offers will take a back seat on the second Saturday in December, however, because that's when the ultrarunning community gathers in Wakulla for its annual family reunion and “run through the jungle” (as the event has been called in recent years) for the last time.

In my 17-year love affair with the TUDC, the event has been directed by two husband-and-wife teams whose organization and attention to detail is surpassed only by their commitment to the sport of running and shared passion for making sure each runner has the best ultra experience possible. (On how many race applications have you been asked to name your favorite aid station refreshments?)

I was welcomed to Wakulla by then-Race Directors Fred and Margaret Deckert that first time and when the event was passed along to current Race Directors Gary and Peg Griffin (that would be the same Gary Griffin who ran his first 100-miler with me back in 2004), I'm happy to report nothing was lost in translation. (Next year, when the torch is passed along to Jeff and JoLena Bryan, I trust that will be the case as well.) The TUDC remains a

www.running.net first-class event, but more importantly continues to be a family affair.

The host Gulf Winds Track Club always has plenty of members on hand to provide support. Enthusiastically calling our your name as you finish a lap and meticulously notating your split time on a clipboard, carefully filling your bottle full of your favorite sports drink or enthusiastically running a lap with you because you need an emotional lift, they do it all.

(Originally, one lap was a 2.07-mile route through the park. In 2010, it was modified to a 10K route, much of it outside the confines of Wakulla Springs State Park.)

Hot soup, free massages and awards created by local artists are available after you've finished with your 50-kilometers or 50-miles (your choice!). From my personal experience -- 10 trips to Wakulla and almost 400 miles of running -- I can honestly say I've never made a request that wasn't granted (including the year I asked a volunteer to take down my Darkside Running Club banner because I'd just spent more than eight hours running 50-miles in monsoon conditions and 41-degree temperatures).

The Tallahassee Ultra Distance Classic has a storied history (do yourself a favor and research it on the internet when you have some time) and is the proud home of numerous record-setting performances and countless first-time ultra finishers.

On a personal level I've forged many personal relationships at Wakulla that have stood the test of time as well as the endless miles we've run together over the years.

I have many fond memories of my 10 trips to Wakulla Springs State Park. When I return to the Wakulla Lodge this year to run the TUDC one last time, I have no doubt that each and every one of them will run through my mind at some point during the weekend (I always make the TUDC a weekend adventure, driving down on Friday and driving home on Sunday).

The memory that stands out most is that second Saturday in December in 2007. I had just lost both of my parents within a period of six weeks prior to the TUDC and thought -- although I wasn't particularly keen on running 31 miles -- being around some familiar faces would do me good. Fifteen minutes prior to the start, Race Director Gary gave his usual spirited and motivational pre-race speech and ended it by dedicating the race to the memories of my mom and dad. Then once the race began I ran the first couple of laps with Amy Costa, who offered me an eight-mile-per-hour shoulder to lean on as she spoke about how much her father meant to her before transitioning to asking me questions about my parents. I couldn't have paid for better therapy.

Come to find out I was exactly right:

Being around some familiar faces did me good. Especially when the familiar faces were family.

Down the Road

Running and Coping during the Winter and Holiday Season

A Sub 2 Hour Marathon For Christmas?

It's that time of year again. The days are getting shorter, and the weather is getting colder.

Those morning runs that you used to head out on after the sun got up are now done at least partly in the dark. Or maybe you are an evening runner, running in the dark as well.

As I am writing this, we are still on daylight savings time. Today was a beautiful day, with afternoon temperature in the 70s. I couldn't resist going out for a short and easy run, even though I ran a 10-mile race yesterday and normally take a day off after such a long race. But as far as the weather is concerned we are on borrowed time, and when you read this it may already be past Thanksgiving.

Which means it may be getting harder to focus on running and staying healthy! Not only is it getting darker and colder outside, but we also have a number of distractions to deal with this time of year. Holiday shopping, office parties, and get-togethers with in-laws can easily throw a monkey wrench in any running schedule. So we have to learn how to find the time to run and exercise in the middle of all the mayhem, or maybe how to let go and resolve to start anew come January 1. Or maybe how to find a happy medium - run when we can, skip it when we can't, and still be content!

Not all of us have to deal with freezing temperatures, at least not every day. Most of my readers live in the Southern states, where mild weather prevails at least for part of the time in the winter. And if you live in Florida you may even look forward to this time of year. Gone is all that summertime humidity and those unpredictable afternoon thunderstorms. And you don't have to dig out tights and gloves each time you are going for a run. But the rest of us must have some extra layers on hand for those times when we get a blast of cold air from the north.

And not everyone has to run in the dark either. If you are retired, work from home, or have a flexible schedule you may be able to fit your runs in during daylight hours. I am fortunate to be able to do almost all of my runs when it is light outside, and for this I am very grateful.

Not everyone celebrates the Holidays either.

But for most of us, whether we celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah, it means festivities that are not part of our ordinary daily life.

Food needs to be prepared, gifts purchased, cards written, and trees decorated. And even though these activities can be a lot of fun, they also take time. So our running can easily go wayward during this time of year.

Fortunately, most experts and renowned coaches recommend we take a recovery period at least once a year. To maximize performance at a marathon or other goal race, they recom-

One Hour Fifty Nine Minutes and Fifty Nine Seconds. A sub Two Hour Marathon.

Will we be seeing one of these for Christmas or anytime soon? It is a question that is being batted around due to the new World Record Marathon of 2:02:57 - a 4:41.3 pace per mile set at the Berlin Marathon this September.

What do you think?

First let's look at how really incredible that performance was. Dennis Kimetto of Kenya ran a P.R. to set the record. Have you ever run a single 4:41 mile? I have to confess that I haven't. Can you imagine running that pace for 26.22 miles? Why don't we look at it from a personal perspective?

Let's each take our mile P.R. and project running that time for the entire marathon distance. Okay I'll start at home with Kathy and my own modest but hard earned best mile times. Ladies first: Kathy's mile P.R. is 6:16.

Running that pace for a marathon would get you or her a 2:44:18 finish time. Pretty good.

Oh by the way, the Women's world record for the marathon is 2:15:25 - a 5:09.8 pace per mile.

My mile P.R. is 4:58 which pace for the marathon would yield a 2:10:13 finish time.

My best marathon time is 67 minutes slower than that. Knowing how hard it is to get a fast mile, just imagine doing it over and over and over again.

There is an excellent pace chart in Bob Glover and Pete Schulder's NEW COMPETITIVE RUNNERS HANDBOOK. Why don't we look at some benchmark mile times and maybe your best falls close to one of them.

We'll show the marathon time at these paces: 5:00 = 2:11:06; 5:30 = 2:24:12; 6:00 = 2:37:19; 6:30 = 2:50:25, 7:00 = 3:03:32; 7:30 = 3:16:39; 8:00 = 3:29 45; 8:30 = 3:38:29; 9:00 = 3:55:58; 9:30 = 4:09:06, 10:00 = 4:22:13.

Now imagine yourself running your best mile pace 26.22 times in a row. Does this give you a feel for how truly amazing it will be if and when someone breaks the 2 hour barrier for the marathon?

Unfortunately, I don't think any of us more normal runners will be running a sub 2 hour marathon before Christmas. However, what about some of the near superhuman elite runners burning up the roads today? Could they do it?

There are a number of factors to consider, as there are for any race, and so many things that can go wrong as all of us who have tried to run a fast race know. Let's look at some of them and how they can and will affect any possible sub 2 hour marathon.

First of course is the training. It takes a tremendous amount of it to achieve a fast time

By Lena Hollmann RRCA Southern Director

mend we first build up distance and endurance for several weeks, then sharpen by doing more speedwork and slightly lower mileage, then run our goal race or races, and finally take a few weeks off with only minimal running. This concept is called periodization, and I will save for another column to discuss it in detail. But as you sit down for your Thanksgiving turkey or Christmas ham, all you need to know is that your body needs some rest and recovery time.

So, if you miss a couple of runs here and there, it could in the long run (no pun intended!) improve your race performance and maybe even save you from injury.

This being said, I know that some of you want to run those extra holiday calories off.

And maybe you also have a major race planned within the next couple of months.

Here in the South we are able to race in the middle of winter, and there are some good races to choose from during January and February. Signing up for a race early in the year could be one way to acquire the discipline and focus you need to carve out some regular training time throughout the holiday season. It may become the inspiration to get some miles in even if it is dark and cold out there, and your favorite TV show is on.

We each have to come up with our own plan of how to cope with weather, darkness, holidays, and other obstacles to our running this time of year. As you read this we have a long winter ahead of us, although not as long as those who live further north are facing. And even though there's the Farmer's Almanac and other long term predictions, we don't really know what Old Man Winter has in store for us until he is here. Last year we had a tough one, and at least I hope for less cold, snow and ice this time around!

So what can we do to “survive� until springtime? Again, one thing is to schedule some recovery time. Make it active recovery if you can, fitting in activities other than running. It can be a cycling or yoga class, a walk in the neighborhood, or lifting some weights in your

at any distance. The mix of long runs, speedwork, and rest are a real juggling act for any runner, more so the longer the distance.

Next is the course. Which marathon are you (the potential sub 2 hour marathoner) going to choose for your race. Pick it carefully. Are you going to pick one that has a lot of uphill on it? Probably not if you want a really fast time. So choose your course carefully.

The last 2 fastest marathons were run at the Berlin Marathon. Needless to say, any uncertified course should never be considered for any serious race time.

Pace makers. If you watched the Berlin Marathon on television as Kathy and I did, you know that they used pace makers (in striped shirts so they stood out) to help the leaders. They led the runners through 30 kilometers. Would the new world record have happened without them? Will a sub 2 hour marathon happen without that kind of help?

Probably not.

Weather. How cruel it can be. You can be in your best shape and ready for your sub 4 hour or sub 3 hour or sub 2 hour marathon and the weather can destroy your plans. Let's see, how about an unexpectedly hot day. Since the pundits say the ideal running temperature is between 50 and 55 degrees how about a wonderful sunny 75 degree morning? Nice for pedestrians and the crowd watching the race, terrible for the runners.

How about a nice 10 or 15 mile per hour headwind over a lot of the route? Forget the fast times. The same for extreme humidity or frigid conditions. So if you don't get good weather conditions, you probably aren't going to get fast times.

Luck plays a factor since we can't control the weather like we can our training. We also have to be lucky enough not to get the flu or a cold a some other health problem or injury when it comes time to run our race.

I was going to look up the progression of the marathon record, but we're running out of space here so I'll abbreviate it. The commentators on the television coverage said we

Running Psychology

LEARNING FROM THE YOUNG GUNS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9

Thinking Gone Bad Are your thinking patterns distorting your view of your running world and leading to stress, not enjoyment, in your running? Do you ever have negative self defeating thoughts about running that are blown out of proportion? Much of the stress and anxiety we experience each day is a result of distorted and/or irrational thinking. However, most of us are not even aware that it's not a particular event, like a bad race or difficult training run that causes a strong, negative emotional reaction; it's how we perceive and interpret the event that leads to the emotional reaction. Selfdefeating, distorted beliefs will continue to have a negative impact on running performance as long as the thinking patterns are allowed to predominate our view of running.

There are numerous ways human thinking can be irrational and often distorted.

Probably the most critical of these irrational, distorted thinking patterns is perfectionism. Humans are not perfect and humans have bad days; it's a fact.

Perfection in any aspect of life is very, very rare. The truth of the matter is we're not going to run great all the time. Most runs are average, some really great, and some, well, not so great. Runners who are perfectionists tend to put so much pressure on themselves that race performance can be negatively influenced, and because of the high pressure, their running experience is one filled with anxiety and a fear of failure. In a nutshell, perfectionist runners don't get a lot of pleasure and enjoyment out of their running. Demanding perfection is a way of setting ourselves up for failure. Sure, we should all be working toward perfection, but we can't let a less than great race lower our enjoyment of running and further degrade our future performances because of irrational anxiety.

Remember that perfectionism is a recipe for disaster! Runners are human and humans aren't perfect.

Another example of a distorted thinking pattern that runners often employ is when runners believe that running is fair. Life is not fair, and running certainly is not fair.

You may train for six months and then get injured the week before the big race. You may train really hard, yet get defeated in a race by someone who rarely trains. You might be on pace for a new marathon personal best, yet come down with cramps over the last three miles. No, running is not fair and we should never for one minute think that it is. Nothing is written in the “laws” of running that says we will get fair treatment and fair results when we train and race. To think we are entitled to “fairness” is simply wishful thinking. An

By Richard Ferguson, Ph.D.

investment of miles in training will not always be equal to an automatic level of success in competition. Accepting the unfairness of running is very important if we are to ever reach our running potential.

Learning to train hard, make sacrifices, and deal with disappointment are all critical skills. Constantly thinking that we don't get a fair shake in running will only lead to decreased running enjoyment, feelings of frustration, and lowered motivation.

All-or-none thinking can also be a dangerous habit for runners to slip into. How often do we label a race as good or bad instead of viewing the race for what it was and enjoying the good points while learning from the bad points? When we label things as good or bad we tend to focus too often and too much on the bad and not nearly enough on the good. When we label too many races as bad, we begin to label ourselves as bad. This type of negative labeling can become the dominant style of thinking and can lower confidence for future races, not to mention lowering the enjoyment factor in running. We all need to evaluate our running performance in a very objective manner without labeling the performance as wonderful or horrible.

Enjoy the total experience of running and work to avoid all-or-none judgments.

Running is a process and with the process comes a variety of experiences with no two being exactly the same.

Very much related to all-or-none thinking is one-event generalization. For runners this might be something like having a bad race in the rain and then thinking whenever it rains again on race day another bad race can be expected. It's always dangerous to pair up a single event with a specific result. I'm sure if we think long enough we can find examples of running well in the rain or running well in situations when we think we're doomed because of a particular course, time of day or some situation in which we didn't perform our best! Again, all running experiences will be different.

Catastrophizing is yet another distorted

thinking pattern runners often lapse into. I like to think of catastrophizing as playing the “what if ” game. “What if I run poorly?” “How will I ever be able to face my friends if Joe beats me?” “What if I can't finish the marathon?” Such thoughts only lead to thinking about the worst-case scenario for our running. Thinking about a catastrophe actually happening to us increases the likelihood of the catastrophe occurring. It's like pre-programming the body and mind for failure. We often set ourselves up for success or failure by the way we think!

To overcome distorted thinking we must work to dispute the distortions and replace them with more rational and logical thoughts. Try to identify distorted thoughts and then PRACTICE replacing them with rational thoughts. We all know rationally it's unrealistic to believe we will have a wonderful race every time we compete, but we often get terribly upset if we don't perform “great” in every race we run. Any distorted running thought we may have should be immediately restructured. If we reflect back on our finest moments in running we will surely be able to dispute any distorted thought we can conjure up.

Sometimes the most wonderful running experiences come at the most unexpected times.

It's always a good idea to pose the question, “are our thinking patterns helpful in achieving more enjoyment and better performance in our running?” If our thinking patterns are negative and self-destructive we need to change them. Distorted thinking can lead to severe emotional reactions like fear, panic, anxiety and can even lead some runners to drop out of the sport.

Events really don't cause fear and anxiety; it's how we interpret any event that leads to the emotional reaction!

If we can all work to base our thinking more on objective and factual reality we can probably save ourselves a lot of the energy we use everyday dealing with unneeded stress. Getting rid of distorted thoughts about our running will certainly make running more enjoyable and less stressful. Why should a great activity like running lead us to become highly stressed on a regular basis? Remember, if a thought is not helping in reaching a running goal then the thought is probably one we can do without!

the history of US distance running with his win at the 2014 Boston Marathon. The story lines heading into the race were plentiful, at least in hindsight, since there weren't many who gave Keflezighi much of a chance to win beforehand. An American had not won the race since Greg Meyer's victory in 1983, and with each passing year the chances seemed to dwindle as sub 2:05 marathons have become a regular occurrence. The city and the race were electric and all eyes were on Boston coming off the horrible attacks of 2013. The 2004 Olympic Silver Medalist, at age 38, had been written off by most as past his prime. But Keflezighi defied the odds and became the first American to win the Boston Marathon in 31 years, delivering the most important victory in the race's acclaimed history.

The memory still sends shivers down my spine, and that is why Meb Keflezighi is my 2014 Performer of the Year.

And now…for the REST of the story! If you recall from last month, I was in Myrtle Beach, SC -- actually, for a fun 5K race in Little River -- when I happened upon a physician-supervised weight loss clinic. I had tried for several months, unsuccessfully, to lose some really stubborn pounds through diet and consistent running, and had had absolutely no luck.

At my consultation with the clinic in Myrtle Beach, I learned that my problem stemmed from genetic factors which predisposed me to a condition called “estrogen dominance,” which literally meant my body was fighting just as hard to gain and maintain extra fat as I was fighting to lose it! I was placed on moderate hormone therapy and metabolism boosters, and instructed to return for a detailed lipid and hormone analysis in order to determine if I had a testosterone deficiency and metabolic syndrome.

After leaving the clinic, I took a nice run, excited to finally be arriving at an answer to the weight-loss nightmare which had plagued me since puberty. This excitement apparently carried over to the 5K at which I ran my first sub-23:00 in years. After returning home to Wilmington, I maintained my disciplined diet regimen of clean eating, and took the new supplements as directed. I made an appointment for six weeks out for the blood test.

Upon returning to the clinic for the blood test, I was pleasantly surprised that I had lost seven pounds! I was feeling faster, lighter on my feet, and my leg turnover had increased dramatically. I was beginning to feel like my old self again.

I had the blood test done and returned and at the follow-up consultation, they explained that they had given me the one of the most detailed lipid panels currently available, known as the “VAP” test. It tests not only total cholesterol, but also LDL (the “bad”), HDL (the “good”), and LDL vs. HDL (the “ratio”). It further tests the LDL in order to determine whether its makeup consists of large and buoyant (less dangerous), or small and dense (more dangerous) particles. It tests triglyceride levels and a host of other factors not revealed in standard lipid tests, such as C-reactive protein levels (this is a measure of the amount of inflammation present in the veins). I also had my estrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels tested.

Without belaboring details, it turns out that my LDL cholesterol - my most troublesome number - consists of the larger, fluffier particles, thank goodness. Everything else looked great except for (as I suspected) progesterone and testosterone, which measured much lower than the recommended levels. I was thereafter placed on low-dose testosterone therapy and informed to contin-

ue with progesterone supplementation.

Fast forward several weeks … I am now close to 20 pounds lighter than I was this past May, and I have not had to starve myself anymore. I feel absolutely terrific, and am only about five pounds away from my “flyweight”! I ran my last 5K in 22:08, which is the fastest I've run since I ran competitively in college. I also took almost seven minutes off my half-marathon best in several years. I did that 5K and half-marathon in the same weekend.

Last spring, I did not think these times would be possible again, nor did I think I would ever be able to enjoy running again the way I do now. Everything just feels right, and instead or dreading workouts and races, I actually look forward to them. In fact, as I polish off this article, I am happy to report that I ran a “train-through” halfmarathon on a really tough course yesterday; the race was fraught with icy headwinds during its toughest sections. Despite actively holding back, I ran that course over seven minutes faster than ever! And today, I am not even sore!

Not only is running feeling absolutely fantastic, I look and feel younger, at age 44, than I did at age 35! I urge any female runner in her late 30's to early 40's who may be experiencing the struggles I have described in these articles to have the detailed testing that can provide insight about things that can be done to enhance quality and quantity of life. Not only do I feel like I have finally turned a corner as an athlete, the journey has been educational and thought-provoking. I also highly recommend the following book recommended by the diet clinic: What You Must Know About Women's Hormones by Pamela Wartian Smith, M.D., M.P.H. This is an easy and fascinating read, and it can provide all sorts of insight into conditions which commonly go along with aging.

I've read and been told that one should “age gracefully”; not me, I plan to fight it every step of the way! Happy running, and hope you enjoy these wonderful, refreshingly cool days.

Natural State of Running Running Events Abound in Arkansas Chile Pepper and Arkansas Traveller 100 highlights Fall may be the most popular season among runners for many reasons. It's not too hot as the summer is gone, and it's not too cold since it's not winter. Brisk air and leaves changing sets the scene for good runs.

To add to it, fall may also be the busiest season in terms of races on the calendar.

We get a variety of races that extend beyond typical road races. The number of 5Ks will never decrease, but it's during the fall that longer distances become popular.

Great 5K Pumpkin Run Every time I think of the name of this race I think of Peanuts. The event organizers think so, too, as they have kids dressed up as Snoopy and Woodstock on the course to make the race a little more interesting.

It took place on Sept. 27th in Lonoke.

Proceeds from the race benefit the Open Arms Shelter. After the race, participants are encouraged to visit the pumpkin patch setup near the finish line.

Races often boast a flat course, but none come as close to it as the Great 5K Pumpkin Run. The extra bonus on the course is if you choose to run with a yellow ribbon, Snoopy and Woodstock are given permission to pull your ribbon. If you finish with it, you earn a free pumpkin. It's a sweet deal, almost as sweet as pumpkin pie.

Female Top 3 Gracie Hyde - 21:58.55 Jessica Mitchell - 22:45.59 Beth Waddell - 23:15.91 Male Top 3 Jordan Brimer - 18:38.59 Caylib McGuire - 18:56.36 Jordan Woodson - 19:21.97 Chile Pepper XC Festival Known as one of the largest cross-country festivals in the country, it brings together runners of all types. Chile Pepper took place on October 4th in Fayetteville on the University of Arkansas cross country course.

Proceeds from the festival benefit Northwest Arkansas cross-country programs. This year $45,000 was distributed to cross-country programs. Over the course of 26 years more than $400,000 has been given to area cross-country programs.

Chile Pepper starts with an Open 10K,

stech.com/2014_Meets/xc/10-04ChilePepper/Web/Timetable.php

By Nicholas Norfolk

which is an Arkansas Grand Prix race.

This year it served as a RRCA Southern Region Championship race. Last year, Chile Pepper was more like a mud run because of weather, but not this year. The cool temperatures produced good times.

RRCA Southern Region XC Female Champions Overall, Kaitlin Bounds - 37:02.2 Masters, Jody Hawkins - 38:54.6 Grand Masters, Kathleen Rea - 47:41.8 Seniors, Benita Lovelace - 47:41.8 RRCA Southern Region XC Male Champions Overall, Layne Nixon - 31:14.1 Masters, Brian Schmidt - 35:36.0 Grand Masters, Matt Blaty - 37:28.3 Seniors, Randy Vest - 41:35.7 After the Open 10K there is an Open 5K, which was started last year. What makes Chile Pepper so special is in addition to the open races there are collegiate, high school, and middle school races. For detailed results, go to http://branchsport-

Good weather is always a good thing.

The AT100 had over 100 finishers for the first time ever. The closest it had been to 100 was in 2000 when there were 93 finishers.

Next year will be the 25th running of the AT100. It will serve as a Western States 100 qualifier.

RRCA Southern Region Ultra Female Champions Overall, Shelley Egli - 21:28:03 Masters, Tammy Walther - 23:54:23 Grand Masters, Deborah Lashley 24:01:43 Seniors, Letha Cruthirds - 27:41:44 RRCA Southern Region Ultra Male Champions Overall, Wesley Hunt - 15:59:12 Masters, PoDog Vogler - 17:47:09 Grand Masters, Danny Ponder - 21:46:47 Seniors, Jim Ingalls - 29:11:57 Nothing like being able to experience the road, grass, or trail. That's the beauty of there being different races. There are always other obstacles or challenges that can be thrown in.

As Thanksgiving approaches the thought of turkey trots come into play.

We have them scattered throughout the state.

Some clubs do their own Thanksgiving runs while some of the stores put on events.

The Go!bbler is put on by Go! Running on Thanksgiving morning. It features fun runs of 3, 4, or 6.5 miles. A cool thing about the Go!bbler is the variety experienced on the run.

Everyone runs on the road and the track, but if you go beyond 3 miles, you'll get some trail in there, too. All runners are asked to bring canned goods to be donated to the Arkansas Foodbank.

Men's 8K Top 3 Individuals Stanley Kebenei, Arkansas - 23:53.5 Kemoy Campbell, Unattached - 23:53.8 Anthony Rotich, UTEP - 23:54.5 Mens's 8K Top 3 Teams Arkansas - 51 Lamar - 96 North Texas - 106 Women's 5K Top 3 Individuals Dominique Scott, Arkansas - 16:01.0 Grace Heymsfield, Arkansas - 16:12.0 Hannah Fields, Oklahoma Baptist 16:24.0 Women's 5K Top 3 Teams Arkansas - 16 Lamar - 81 Kansas State - 117 Arkansas Traveller 100 Another big race that happens during the fall in Arkansas is the Arkansas Traveller 100 (AT100). It takes place in the Ouachita National Forest. The fine folks of the Arkansas Ultra Running Association (AURA) put on this event.

It's the only 100-miler in the state. It's a community event. Volunteering at an aid station, pacing, or running are a few ways to be involved with the race. I can't speak about running the entire race (that's crazy people talk), but I have volunteered and paced.

You have to experience it for yourself.

AT100 showcases the soul of our Arkansas running community. Everyone comes together to do what they can to make it a success.

Like the Chile Pepper XC 10K, the AT100 was designated as the Southern Region Ultra Championship. Last year's conditions made the 100-mile challenge more difficult than this year. This year's winner, Wesley Hunt, took advantage of it by clocking the third fastest time on the course.

What's more impressive is he bettered his time by more than 2 hours from the previous year. People talk about redemption runs, but apparently Wesley didn't take coming in second last year by 68 seconds lightly.

Shelley Egli became the first woman to win AT100 back-to-back since Race Bruce Oakley of White River Roadrunners Director Chrissy Ferguson did it in 1997.

She dropped her finishing time by over an hour from 2013.

Celebrating Birthdays in Style - on the Trail in December There are three of us in my running group who have December birthdays within about 10 days of each other. For years, we've talked about -- but never had -- a collective birthday party. But this year is different. It's our big 3-0.

We decided to celebrate our "dirty 30" literally -- by running the Otter Creek Trail Race on Dec. 20. This is a great low-key race at a gorgeous park in the Louisville area, offering a trail marathon along with 8 and 16 mile options.

Race directors Todd and Cynthia Heady always host a fun event, complete with post-race beer and chili. Homemade chili -- a number of friends and volunteers start the chili in slow cookers the night before, when a bunch of them stay in cabins in the campground.

The race is held on an 8-mile loop

By Tracy Green

course with one aid station about halfway. It is hilly, about 675 feet of climb per loop by my watch. Because it's near the Ohio River, the first 6 miles are net downhill with some rolling hills scattered throughout. As you get around mile 6, you get beautiful views of the Ohio River Valley. Unfortunately, you then have to start climbing back up. It's about

600 feet of climb, pretty much straight up, over about a mile.

As with any trail race, footing is a key issue. Otter Creek is a nicely-packed trail, with a lot of clay. The bad thing about clay is that when it gets wet, you slide. Big chunks of it will just go sideways with you.

That said, anyone opting for the longer distances have to deal with all the churned-up mud from earlier runners. On really wet years, those second and third loops have gotten really messy.

There are a couple of creek crossings, not usually too bad, but the rainfall is pretty unpredictable. There's also a darn good chance of snow, too. There's also a good amount of leaf coverage, which can hide holes in the trail. Believe me -- I found that out in 2012 when I put my foot down on what turned out to be a hole that turned my ankle totally sideways. Heck of sprain.

It's a straightforward trail, no spots where you can get turned the wrong way.

In addition to the great post-race party, the shirts and prizes are always custom-designed by local artists. The shirts are always amazing. Then again, you've got an otter logo to work with, so you're set up for success. Prizes have included headbands, scarves, wooden ornaments, socks with the park logo ... lots of unique, one-of-a-kind items way cooler than your typical medal.

If you're looking for a fun race to cap off 2014, come join us as we celebrate a trio of 30th birthdays. We'll bring the cake!

MASTERS RUNNING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 basement or at the gym. Anything that gets you moving, and preferably something that you enjoy!

If you prefer to stick to running as much as you can but need some extra motivation, sign up for a race that takes place early in the year. Then set up a tentative schedule, but be prepared to change some workouts around if the weather gets ugly or your schedule too busy. Or find a group to run with that runs at a regular time and place. Or get a running buddy! It is so much easier to get out there if you are not going it alone, but know there is someone else waiting for you who will miss you if you don't show up.

To make your runs more comfortable, dress appropriately for the weather. This can sometimes be more of an art than a science, and we all have to figure out what works best for us. Your best friend may be comfortable in shorts when it is in the 30s, while you prefer to wear tights when it is below 50 degrees. Also keep in mind that it is a common error to overdress. I still do it myself sometimes! It is better to feel a little cold on the first mile than too hot on the rest of the run. And if you run in the dark, don't forget to put on some reflective gear!

On snowy and icy days, use your judgment. Although I have known a few people who went for a run no matter how icy it got (don't ask me how they did it!), I don't recommend it. It is better to take a day off or do cross training than risk serious injury if the roads are covered with ice. And here in the South, snow and ice will often melt in a day or two anyway.

With some creativity, flexibility, and good judgment, we can get through the winter safe and sound. One thing I like about living this far south is that our winters are short. There are runners from Boston, Chicago, and other cold places who always seem to be ready and in peak shape for the spring races. And if they can be ready, so can we!

Women’s Running Looking Forward to 2016 After seeing the fall marathon results and preparing to go to New York City for the 2014 TCS New York City Marathon, I thought I would spotlight the ladies you should keep on your radar as we approach the 2016 Olympic Marathon Trials in Los Angeles in a little over a year. There should be a number of contenders for the 2016 Olympic team.

First and at the top of her game, Shalane Flanagan did not win Boston or get the American record in Berlin but she has PR'd twice (2:22:02 and 2:21:22). If she stays healthy she should be on the team again without a problem. Flanagan is a very strong and focused woman and although I suspect she will make a try for victory in Boston next spring, that should not deter her from securing a spot on the 2016 team.

She is the best American out there.

Runner up at the 2012 trials, Desi Linden suffered an injury before the 2012 Olympics and she is certainly motivated to get back to the trials. Her 2:23:54 at Boston was done at 90% according to her coach Kevin Hanson. She intends to run New York and hopefully she will have a great showing. If she stays the course I would definitely think she will be on the team.

Then we come to the remaining spot.

Wow there is so much talent out there and so many variables and a year to improve that I believe the third position is definitely up for grabs. I want to provide you a list to watch and can virtually guarantee the last spot will be filled by one of these ladies. And if Flanagan or Linden falter, there could be some virtually unknown contenders.

Obviously fourth place finisher at the 2012 marathon trials Amy Hastings has to be a favorite. Her recent 2:27:03 in Chicago demonstrates that she is on the right track and as an Olympic team alternate she will be planning to make the team.

She did run the 10,000 in London so she definitely has speed and the motivation.

2008 Olympians Deena Kastor, Kara Goucher and Blake Russell are making marathon comebacks and will be racing in NYC. Russell has had a daughter since the 2008 Olympics but she has been racing well this summer and fall. Kastor is now a master but never count Kastor out of the mix. Her disappointing 6th place finish in 2012 has only fueled her desire. At September's Philadelphia Half, she not only set a world masters record for the half (1:09:36), but set world masters records at 10K (32:41), 15K (49:03) and 20 K (1:05:52) along the way! She is looking for a 2:25 in NYC that would solidify her bid.

Goucher had a 2:28:11 at the 2013 Boston

Marathon but has struggled with injury, a coaching change, and a move since then.

Hopefully she will be able to be back in the mix for the trials.

Janet Bawcom was the fifth place finisher at the 2012 trials and had a thrilling string of races in 2012 and 2013 including her 10,000-meter performance in London.

But she has not finished a marathon in awhile and has struggled with injury. But her recent Tufts 10K time of 32:12 shows she is on the comeback trail.

There are a bunch of newer ladies on the marathon scene. Lauren Kleppin who runs with the Mammoth Track Club is entered in the NYC marathon but ran a stellar 2:28:48 in Los Angeles last spring. Her teammate Lauren Jimison bettered her time at Grandma's with a 2:34:38 in Chicago. Both ladies are improving and train with Kastor so I expect to see improvement from both of them.

Serena Burla ran a 2:28:01 at the 2013 Amsterdam Marathon and that was the fastest time of 2013. She also won the half marathon championship in 2014. She has been sporadic since then but could be ready for a speedy time at the trials.

Annie Bersagel lives in Norway but took the 2013 Twin Cities Marathon national title with a surprise win in 2013 then bettered her time at the Dusseldorf Marathon last April in 2:28:59. She is also entered in this year's NYC Marathon.

Stephanie Rothstein Bruce has a marathon PR of 2:29:35 but recently gave birth to her first son Riley. She has signed with Oiselle and is back in training, so I could see her and her training in Flagstaff with marathoning husband Ben, as a ticket back to a fast time. It just depends on how quickly she rebounds and how much rest she can get with the new baby.

Becky Wade made her debut last December with a phenomenal 2:30:41 win at Cal International. Unfortunately she had to pull out of the recent Chicago Marathon after a "very rocky" 2014 plagued with injuries and sickness. She

DOWN THE ROAD CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 could probably expect no more than a 30 second per year drop in the marathon record. They guessed it would be 5 or 6 years before we saw a sub 2 hour marathon.

The first sub 2 hour marathon I ever read about was in Paul Christman's excellent 1983 novel THE PURPLE RUNNER. I wondered if it was still in print and checked and found it offered on the website of the company named after a very large river. If you like good reading, buy a copy for yourself or borrow a copy from one of your older running friends and check it out. It is worth buying if you ask me. As you can see, the idea of a sub 2 hour marathon has been around for a long time.

All things considered, we probably won't see a sub 2 hour marathon before this Christmas, but we can always dream can't we? It is such a monumental accomplishment; I hope we all are around to see it when it happens.

RUNNING FITNESS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 with my husband, hoping something would click. Kitchen Divided was the blueprint for how I tried to make our changing ways in the kitchen work.

For many, divorce is not an option.

With a long history for both of us, as TV reporters, ours was a bond of romantic soulmate glue that could not come apart.

People often get desperate on their deathbeds. Not everyone gets a second chance after a heart attack. And if they don't change eating habits, the surgical miracles are undone within a year.

The Peta contest: Why would such a trail-blazing feminist succumb to a contest using women (and men) as sex objects?

Because sex sells. It always has.

Sadly, what I learned in my 18 years as a TV investigative reporter is that the only time animal rights stories got any coverage is when PETA showed up in front of a fur store with not much coverage. Bikinis in January in the Midwest were always a great visual. Anything to show that a vegan diet doesn't make you a weak-

ling, as the stereotypes go.

What was quite clear to me over the years is PETA and other grassroots organizations are not nearly as well funded as the Dairy Council which has enough money to hand out free chocolate milk cartons to every f inisher and attendee of the many 5K or longer races I do. The dairy industry funds websites devoted just to this promotion.

The Dairy Council has a very public campaign I've seen on their website as well as at coaching workshops called, "Marketing Chocolate Milk as the Ideal Recovery Drink for Children." I can't imagine anything more sludgy after a race. Most runners crave potassium-rich bananas or Vitamin C-rich citrus fruits like oranges or grapefruit.

Even more appalling, in my research for Eat Vegan on $4 a Day, I was shocked to see how many advertising dollars the dairy and fluid milk industries, both separate categories, received compared to say, the watermelon industry. In media consulting, my husband and I were actually hired by the National Watermelon Promotion Board, which received a few million dollars annually. The meat and dairy industries received

WOMEN’S RUNNING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 23 plans to run a spring marathon before the trials and being only 25 she looks to have a stellar career ahead.

Then there are a significant group of ladies in the 2:31- 2:34 arena. Clara Santucci (2:31:39 Chicago 2013), Melissa Johnson-White (2:32:37 Chicago 2013), Wendy Thomas (2:32:49 Boston 2014), Esther Erb ( 2:34:01 Twin Cities National Champion 2014),Sarah Crouch ( 12 minute PR 2:32:44 Chicago 2014), Laura Portis (2:33:42 Twin Cities 2013), Brianne Nelson (2:34:24 Twin Cities 2014) and Adrianna Nelson (2:31:15-1st American Boston 2014) are definitely in the mix but will have to up their games significantly to contend for an Olympic team spot.

Finally there is the incredible Molly Huddle who has yet to run a marathon and may not even be interested in the trials.

But she has moved up all year from her defeat of Flanagan last November, to set a 12K world record in 37:50, to her American record 5K of 14:42, her New York mini10K win of 31:37, and her 20K national title in New Haven in 1:08:34.

She has recently contended at two half marathons with a best of 1:09:04. Huddle trains with Amy Hastings and Kiwi star

Kim Smith in Providence and if she decides to give the trials a shot I would not count her out. although I think she will race the 5K or 10K at the Olympics.

All told these are the women who legitimately have a shot at the trials. They are all working to make the team and on February 13, 2016 we will know who takes the coveted top three. Keep an eye on the ladies mentioned here and pick your favorites over the next year. It should be an exciting 2015! And I suspect there is the possibility of a big surprise, but I believe the team will come from these ladies barring a big surprise in 2015.

After watching the TCS New York City Marathon from the women's press truck I am even more unsure of who gets third place on the team. Linden retains her pace but not much more could be determined due to the brutal wind and chill in the air in NYC. The official weather at the start was 43 degrees with a sustained headwind of 31mph.

way more! Even more incredible, the cozy alliances between the USDA, which is supposed to be telling us how to eat more healthfully, f inancially supports corporate dairy giants like Pizza Hut and McDonalds.

The PETA contest is about showing that especially after 50, a vegan diet works WAY better than botox, surgery or supplements. And it so much cheaper! Combine eating vegan with a little aerobic exercise and it is magical!

Most people in developed countries do not have protein def iciencies. The USDA's website now says Americans get too much protein and they've downsized their daily protein recommendations. The American Dietetic Association and many doctors say a vegan diet is appropriate for all stages of life. The assessment, “healthy on the outside, not healthy on the inside,” is what describes those who may looked ripped and f it, but blood tests reveal a different story. Nothing blows me away more than an athlete or coach who gloats over photos of doughnuts and other unhealthy foods saying running gives everyone a free pass. It isn't true.

Especially in the long run.

It's all about feeling great and

being around for the grandchildren, something my parents and extended family could only dream about. I hope Clarence and I get that second chance.

The Joggin’ For Frogmen 5K started not with a ready-set-go, but with a big “HOOYA” thanks to retired Navy Lt. Cmdr. Steve Watkins. Held Oct. 18 in Crestwood, KY, Watkins served as the race’s special guest speaker, kicking off this event to raise funds for the families of fallen soldiers.

Watkins became a Navy SEAL in 1988 and served for more than five years with SEAL Team Five. He distinguished himself as a SEAL conducting missions behind enemy lines and earning combat decorations including the Navy Achievement Medal with Valor for participation in Operation Desert Storm. He went on to become a sniper, sniper instructor, and taught on SEAL Team Five’s training cadre in the area of counter-terrorist operations.

The Joggin’ for Frogmen 5K mission is “to bring men, women and children together to jog in honor of our Navy SEALs — nicknamed Frogmen — and all military heroes who have sacrificed their lives for us while protecting our country.”

“One of the greatest things we can do to support our military is give back to the foundations that support our military families,” said Tim Conway, the race’s director.

This is the first event in Kentucky for Joggin’ For Frogmen, a national organization. The inaugural Joggin’ For Frogmen River City event included 93 finishers in the 5K and more than a dozen “tadpole trotters.”

Held on a mostly flat course with an uphill finish, Todd Mullins was the overall winner in 20:35. Debbie Biddle was the women’s winner in 23:22.

Jacob Wells Dies After Marathon Collapse Jacob Wells of Little Rock, Arkansas, 45, died Nov. 7, at Methodist University Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, six days after experiencing a cardiac arrest at the Midsouth Marathon Nov. 1 in Wynne, Arkansas.

He had run over 150 marathons and directed races, including the 3 Bridges Marathon, which will be held Dec. 27 at Little Rock. He had run over 20,000 miles.

Wells had recently been named Volunteer of the Year and Race Director of the Year by the Arkansas Road Runners Club of America. He was a member of the Little Rock Roadrunners and the Melonvine Striders.

Running officials in Arkansas said Wells was known for many things, including “shirtless runs, headbands, and his awesome high fives.” He was called a “legend in Arkansas running.”

Obituary information: Born as John Jacob Wells in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Ron and Bertie Wells on July 8, 1969, Jacob was the valedictorian of his graduat-

ing class at Mount Judea (Arkansas) High School and was the top graduating senior in the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas in 1991.

He was a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Arkansas Society of Certified Public Accountants.

Jacob was a Senior Audit Manager at JPMS Cox, PLLC. He had 23 years of public accounting experience, joining JPMS Cox in 1998 after seven years with Ernst & Young, LLP. Jacob had significant experience in the nonprofit and governmental industries, and served on the board of directors of Our House Shelter and on the finance committee of the board of directors of the Central Arkansas Area Agency on Aging, Inc. Jacob previously served six years on the founding board of directors of Arkansas Nonprofit Alliance, the state's association of nonprofits, and has held a board position with Nonprofit Resources, Inc., where he was Treasurer and Chairman of the Finance Committee.

Jacob instructed numerous nonprofit accounting seminars sponsored by Arkansas Coalition for Excellence, Arkansas Community Foundation, Nonprofit Resources, Inc., and Arkansas Society of Certified Public Accountants. Jacob was recently awarded the 2014 Public Service Award by the Arkansas Society of CPAs. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents Fay and Edith Mueller and his paternal grandfather Chester Wells.

He is survived by his parents of Mount Judea; paternal grandmother, Doris Wells of Pittsburg, KS; sister, Heidi (David) Stambuck of Farmington, AR; daughter Madalaine (Alex) Hughes of Bryant, AR; son Gabriel Wells and daughter Josephine Wells of Traskwood (AR); along with granddaughter Ryleigh Hughes and nephews Zachary and Nicholas Stambuck. He also leaves his sweetheart and soulmate Jaynie Smith Cannon of Little Rock, along with a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins.

A public memorial service will be

announced at a later date. Memorial donations will be used to improve facilities at the Little Rock base of the Two River's Bridge in Little Rock's River Mountain Park, Jacob's favorite place to start a run, and may be mailed to JPMS Cox, PLLC - Jacob Wells Memorial, 11300 Cantrell Road, Suite 301, Little Rock, AR 72212.

Keveren and DeMarco lead runners in rainy Hokie Half Marathon BLACKSBURG, VA – The second annual Hokie Half Marathon and 5K were held on Oct. 12. Rainy conditions persisted throughout the race, but did not stop more than 1,400 runners from participating in the half marathon and another 300 in the 5K, a 15 percent increase from the 2013 race. The half marathon was part of the Running Journal Grand Prix, now in its 37th season.

Sean Keveren, 24, of Charlottesville took more than a two-minute win in the half marathon with a time of 1:08:33. Ryan Farnan, 21, of Winchester was second in 1:11:00 and George Tolton, 22, of Abingdon was third, running 1:14:03. Tolton had finished fifth in the 2013 half marathon.

The top three male and female finishers received cash prizes.

It was a race to the finish line in the 5K. Fourteen-year-old Lane Johnson of Mechanicsville ran 20:52 to outpace Brandon MacWhinnie, 28, of Rocky Mount by only four seconds. Steven Hurwitt, 22, of Blacksburg was third in 21:08.
