Running Journal • January, 2015

Inspired Daily Tales of a Recovering Over-racer Addiction is a powerful thing. I am not sure exactly when it happened but suddenly I found myself wanting to run all the races! Between the Celebration Marathon in January and Boston Marathon in April, I raced nine times and even joined a new running club just so I could compete in their racing series.

No wonder my hamstring injury never healed. After Boston, I ran in four more races between the end of April and midJuly. I tried resting the hamstring for a week or two here and there and even went to physical therapy. Finally, when I had finished the last of the Picnic Island Adventure Runs of the summer in July, I decided to focus on getting healthy for marathon training.

I was set to begin the 18-week Hansons

ness does seem to carry over to other areas like Toy Story Mania (the best game/ride in all the Disney parks).

Perhaps moving into the Masters category has helped me mature as a runner because I definitely learn from my mistakes and train a lot smarter. It took one great race preceded by many weeks of patience, listening to my body, and good training in addition to some serious willpower to stop over-racing.

Rae Ann Darling Reed is a Masters runner, a USATF Level 2 and RRCA certified running coach, and part of the Brooks Inspire Daily program. She coaches all ages and abilities through her Run Your Way Fit program, Suncoast Striders Walking & Running Club, and Manatee High School Cross Country & Track.

Marathon Method with a group of friends Follow her on facebook or twitter: at the end of July. I knew I would not be @runnergirl able to handle marathon training with a hamstring injury. I followed the plan almost perfectly for weeks and weeks. I turned down invitations to race, which is difficult for me to do. I even had to skip one of my favorite summer cross country races. I trained consistently and did not race for 11 weeks. I even stopped having the urge to look at race calendars in running magazines.

Then it was time for the Tower of Terror 10 Miler at the beginning of October.

“You are about to discover what lies beyond the fifth dimension, beyond the deepest, darkest corner of the imagination, in The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ 10 Miler!” Thanks Disney, I was already both scared and excited for this.

On one hand, I was really looking forward to it because my training had been solid and it would be a good test of my fitness. It is such a fun race; probably my favorite Disney race. But on the other hand, I was extra nervous about racing.

Would this trigger my racing addiction?

Would I revert back to the bad habit of over-racing? I am happy to report that as of two months post-race, it has not. I have kept my racing calendar from filling up. I am staying focused on training properly and only racing when it fits in with my goals.

I think much of that success is due to the amazing time I had at the Tower of Terror 10 Miler. I hadn't raced in 11 weeks so I could only rely on my marathon training paces to guide me. I started conservatively but quickly sped up because I felt so comfortable. A little before halfway I knew I could really race it. I ended up running negative splits, finishing a little over a minute off my PR that was set 12 years ago. I was the 5th overall female and Masters Winner.

Beets, genetics, and weight were just a few of the topics highlighted at the 2014 Food & Nutrition Conference and Expo at the annual meeting of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Here's an update with some food for thought.

Eat Your Beets!

Beets and arugula are powerful nitrate-rich foods that can enhance both athletic performance and your overall health. These vegetables are rich sources of dietary nitrate, a potent food compound that converts into nitric oxide (NO), a gas. NO easily penetrates cell tissues and, in at least 90 minutes after consumption. It signals blood vessels to dilate (relax), which improves blood flow. For you, a runner, improved blood flow enables more oxygen to get to your muscles. Research suggests pre-exercise beets or beet juice can enhance performance. That's why commercial sports supplements such as BeetIt or BeetElite are gaining in popularity among competitive runners. You can even buy nitric oxide test strips to determine if you are “workout ready.” ( $2.20/strip!)

• Not too long ago, you might remember having been warned to stay away from dietary nitrates, particularly the sodium nitrate in processed meats (such as bacon, hot dogs, and ham) added to extend the meats' shelf-life and prevent deadly botulism poisoning.

Current research indicates nitrates (even in high doses) are not carcinogenic.

• The preferred food sources of nitrates include vegetables, specifically beets, arugula, celery, lettuce, kale, spinach, collards, Swiss chard, and bok choy. These offer more than 250 mg nitrates per 3.5 oz (100 g) serving. Veggies low in nitrates include broccoli, green beans, tomato, sweet potato, and peas. The average American consumes 40 to 100 mg nitrates a day, less than the 300 to 500 mg. dose recommended to improve performance. Yet, athletes can easily consume that dose with an average spinach salad topped with a beet or two (if you can tolerate that for a pre-execise meal.)

• The amount of nitrate in vegetables varies from state to state.

Celery grown in New York State has fewer nitrates than celery from Los Angeles. Thunderstorms influence nitrate concentration.

Lightning (yes, lightning) changes the nitrogen in the air into nitrous acid. Rain carries that into the soil, and then bacteria in the soil convert it to nitrate and plants use it to make protein.

• Bacteria in the mouth help convert nitrate into NO. People who use mouthwash twice a day have less bacteria in their mouths, thus less NO (and often higher blood pressure).

• As we age, our ability to generate nitric oxide declines. By age 40, we make 50% less NO than when we are age 20, and far less then when we are 70. This decline is associated with blood vessel changes that lead to cardiovascular disease, mental decline, and even erectile dysfunction, (Viagra enhances NO-mediated vasodilatation.)

• NO improves blood glucose uptake. Therefore, people with diabetes (as well as all of us) will benefit from a nitrate-rich diet.

Eat your veggies!

Personalized Nutrition The wave of the future is genetic testing for personalized nutrition guidance. Your genetic make-up (as identified by collecting DNA from saliva or a cheek swab) can give a snap shot of how you could eat for optimal health. The test generates a personal profile regarding susceptibility to disease. For example, some people can eat eggs yet have low cholesterol; others need to avoid eggs to prevent high cholesterol. One size does not fill all when it comes to dietary recommendations.

• We currently know that some people have a genetic variation that makes them more susceptible to heart disease if they drink more than 4 cups of coffee a day. We also know 50% of us are “slow caffeine metabolizers” who have trouble sleeping if we consume caffeine in the afternoon. Genetic variation can also deter-

mine who should limit salt intake to reduce risk for high blood pressure, and who has undiagnosed celiac disease.

• Should you jump on the bandwagon and spend $400 or more to get your genetic profile? The 2013 Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Position Stand on Nutritional Genomics states “The practical application of nutritional genomics for complex chronic disease is an emerging science and the use of nutrigenetic testing to provide dietary advice is not ready for routine dietetics practice.”

Yet, many people are curious and have found the information to be helpful. It motivates them to change their eating habits and take nutrition guidance seriously. I'll let you figure out if you want to wait for more robust data to be collected and for health professionals to be better trained in interpreting the data.

Ditchin' the Diet Despite popular belief, you should not assess your health based solely on your weight-and certainly not on your Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI is based on body mass. Many very lean and muscular athletes have a high BMI! They perform well, despite their higher weight.

• Health At Every Size (HAES) is a national non-diet movement that encourages people to think twice before going on a reducing diet because we know that diets don't work in the long run. In fact, diets may inadvertently promote weight swings, disordered eating, and body hatred.

• The non-diet approach encourages you to accept and respect the fact that humans come in a diverse body shapes and sizes. No one idealized shape is best-not even for athletes. Perhaps you can let your body be “good enough”…?

• HAES encourages everyone to fuel for well being, choose meals based on hunger, satiety, nutritional needs, and pleasure. You want to eat mindfully, intuitively, and stay attuned to the portion your body actually requires (often more than offered by a Lean Cuisine). Intuitive eating is the opposite of eating according to how much that app says to eat.

• While exercise is an important part of a weight management program, HAES encourages health-enhancing movement that is enjoyable and suits your interest. Maybe you'd really prefer more yoga and less running? Make sure the E in your Exercise and Eating programs stands for Enjoyment.

Masters Running Overcome Mental Blocks, and Soar in 2015!

Again, a new year lies ahead of us. A year full of promise, a year full of plans.

Maybe you have a special challenge that you want to accomplish in 2015, but aren't sure you can. For a runner this could be running a marathon or an ultra, or finishing your first 5K. Sometimes we might doubt whether we are ready and able to take on new challenges, in running or otherwise. Self doubt is rampant, and all of us probably have felt it at some point. We are not sure whether we are going to be able to pass a test, complete a project, or finish a race.

But even if the task at hand is primarily physical (like finishing your first marathon), what's holding you back is often mostly in your head.

In addition to being a runner, writer, and running coach, I teach fitness classes for seniors. One day a lady came to my balance and toning class, telling me she wasn't sure whether she would be able to get through it, because she had problems with her balance. I encouraged her to try it, reassured her that the she could hold onto her chair when needed, and that she would be fine.

She completed my class with flying colors! And she was back the following week. Her self doubt was primarily mental, and all she needed was to defeat her inner demons (with a little help from me).

A year ago I had my own challenge. I had signed up for a marathon, my first one in 10 years. Special circumstances had prompted me to enter, and now I had to complete a few training runs covering more miles than I had done in many years.

Not to mention the race itself! Would I be able to get through all that training, and the marathon, without getting injured?

And would there be other obstacles in the way, like inclement weather? Winter in North Carolina can be a beast sometimes, and last year was exceptionally challenging. But I told myself I could do it, stuck to my training schedule, and finished the marathon in just under 4:35.

Even elite runners doubt themselves sometimes. Missy Foy of Hillsborough, NC, is a former elite runner and Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier. She is also a type 1 diabetic. Before she qualified for the Trials in the year 2000 she was told several times by doctors, coaches, and others, that it wasn't possible for a diabetic to do so because “if it could be done it would already have been done.” But she prevailed, seeking out coaches and sponsors who believed in her and her dream.

By Lena Hollmann RRCA Southern Director

And she became the first diabetic Olympic Trials qualifier ever.

Still, she told me that self doubt was one of the biggest demons she had to fight off during her entire running career. And she had a stellar career, becoming a nationally ranked ultra marathoner several years after her Trials race. She has completed about a dozen 50 mile races, the fastest in 6 hours and 55 minutes. But because of her diabetes, she had to overcome obstacles that most of the rest of us don't have to struggle with.

First time events can be extra challenging. For example, running your first 5K. Even if you did training runs that are longer, it's different when you put a race number on! For John Farrow of Albuquerque, NM, it was particularly challenging when he ran his first 5K, since he had not completed that distance before. So he started at the very back of the pack. But not only did he finish the race, he also had a lot of fun running it!

Later he decided to run a marathon, but he had doubts he could complete that also. A friend of his had tried to quality for Boston, but ended up with injuries instead, and gave up running. And Farrow didn't want to suffer a similar fate. But he persevered, and qualified for Boston in his first attempt.

As we get older physical challenges can become more daunting. We are more injury prone, and maybe we also have other health challenges. For the lady in my balance class, the question was whether the balance and strength she had was enough for her to get through the class. And for me last year, the question was whether I would still be able to train for and complete a 26.2 mile race at age 62. I had been able to do it several times when I was younger, but was my body still strong enough to handle all that training?

There are several ways we can over-

come challenges that may seem insurmountable at first. But we must know how to tackle the beast. It is possible to eat an elephant, as long as we do it one bite at a time. Likewise we can tackle a larger project by taking it one step at a time, sometimes literally when it comes to running! For example, Diane McManus of Philadelphia, PA, takes a hard interval workout one repeat at a time. This way, what sounds like a killer workout when the coach announces it beforehand, could become like a piece of cake! Well, not quite. But when the feeling of accomplishment and confidence kicks in after a hard workout or race, it is certainly worth it.

We also need to stay within reason when we challenge ourselves. To “stretch it a little” can be a good thing, especially as we get older. But if we set impossible goals, we set ourselves up for disappointment.

For example, could I run another marathon? The answer would most likely be 'yes'. Could I run a three hour marathon? NO!! Even though I could run faster than that in my younger days, it is far from what my body would be capable of at this time. But could I run a four hour marathon? Maybe, provided I dedicated myself to my training for several months, stuck to a strict schedule and diet, and got plenty of rest between sessions. But am I willing and able to make my marathon training such a priority that everything else, including shorter races, ends up on the back burner? Probably not, since I have other competing priorities and obligations. We have to decide how much time and effort we are able and willing to put into a specific goal, and whether the

goal we are seeking is worth it. The loftier the goal, the more we have to devote ourselves to it.

And if we still doubt ourselves, it helps to seek support from others. It could be something as simple as having them as role models. Esther Dill of Cary, NC, is my age, runs several marathons per year, and has qualified for Boston three times.

So when I decided to run my marathon last year, I was thinking of her. I said to myself: “If Esther can run several marathons per year, then I should be able to run one more!” But sometimes we may need someone who gives us a hand along the way, like a mentor or a coach. One of the people who was instrumental in getting Missy Foy to the Olympic Trials in 2000 was her very knowledgeable and supportive coach, Jim Husk. Without help from him and several others it would not have been possible for her to make it to the Trials, Foy said.

Last but not the least, don't let other people's setbacks become yours.

Sometimes there may be lessons to learn, and you need to modify instead of copycat where others before you have failed.

At other times their starting point may be different from yours. For example, if your buddy failed to qualify for Boston, it may be because he had some health challenges that you don't have. Or maybe he didn't have as much base mileage as you do. If John Farrow had been discouraged by his friend's failed marathon attempts, he would never have made it to Boston!

And what am I doing to keep myself challenged during the upcoming winter months? I signed up for a local race in March, the Tobacco Road Marathon. But this time I decided to settle for the Half Marathon.

Running Through the Age Groups Let's Play 20 Questions for 2015!

Good grief! It literally seems like only yesterday when I wrote my “inspirational” column for 2014. In thinking about subject matter for the New Year and like so many runners, I took the opportunity to review my personal “state of running” for 2014.

I have pretty high expectations of myself as a runner, but I must admit that 2014 delivered much more than I could have imagined in my wildest dreams; I enjoyed what I can only describe as a miraculous improvement in all my favorite distances over the past several months. Not only am I running faster, but far more important, the pure joy I find in running is at an all-time high!

It goes without saying that improvement in long distance running takes time, effort and dedication on the part of the individual actually doing the running.

However, 2014 also showed me just how much one's running can be affected (positively or negatively) by sometimes innumerable outside influences and other people.

You can probably tell from my past columns that I am competitive and goaloriented. I would imagine that you share those characteristics. If that is the case, I suggest that as you embark on that wonderful journey that is a brand new year, you should sit down and think about your 2014 running story, where you stand now, and what, specifically, you would like to achieve in 2015.

Your running log, whether electronic or “old school” paper, is a valuable tool you can use to review your 2014 achievements. If you don't keep a log, start one this year! That is your first resolution.

Take note of training trends, mileage and races. What workouts did you seem to enjoy the most? What time of day works for you? What's your favorite time of year to run? How was your mileage trend? Were you able to stay consistent and uninjured? Did you or do you have any nagging aches and pains? Did you maintain adequate strength and flexibility training?

How did race times progress, and what seemed to be your most enjoyable distance? How is your energy level now?

As you're thinking about this list, don't forget to consider other major factors affecting your running. In my case, being able to fully retire from the practice of law has been a blessing. I am an introvert and not well suited to a law practice; my day-to-day interactions with many people in negative situations were almost more than I could bear. Full-time practice also meant less time to train, less attention to devote to diet and other important health factors, less rest and sleep, and much more sitting time as my practice was office-oriented. Being able to shed that

for the marathon, but the half marathon doesn't take too much out of you, then why not concentrate on the half, and perhaps strive to improve your time in 2015?

Check out Running Journal or go online to see what races are offered; there are a gracious plenty these days! Perhaps you can “multi-task” by picking a destination race that can double as a family vacation, romantic getaway or just a fun trip for some good friends. One nice thing about the half marathon is that with decent training and assuming you're healthy, you can run several in a year without beating your body to a pulp.

Maybe, on the other hand, you've given the longer distances the old “college try”, but you've decided you'd rather stick with 5K's and 10K's. In other words, you're a speed demon! If this is the case, you could try sprinkling several “tuner” and “goal” races throughout the year, and you might want to tweak your training by including more speed work. If you can find a track meet convenient to you, head out and see how you stack up in a competitive mile or half mile race.

Perhaps - and hopefully this is not you but it happens to all of us from time to time - you are feeling a little stale or disenchanted with your running. If that is the case, consider taking a month of complete rest from running. This does not mean become a couch potato as there are lots of fun activities to explore. You needn't do formal cross-training if that is not your thing; it is not terribly enjoyable to me, either.

Take advantage of the extra time to just be! Join a friend or loved one for a hike or walk on the beach. If you live near water and it's warm enough, try kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding. If you live in the mountains and it's cold enough, try cross-country skiing or strap on some snowshoes. Take up a new hobby, join a club, plant a garden -- you get the picture. I've read that even some world-class Kenyan runners are mandated to take an entire month off from running during the off-season, so who am I to question the wisdom of real rest?

When you do return to running, you will come back refreshed and hopefully healed from any nagging aches and pains. Perhaps you could spice it up a little and try a trail race or multi-sport event, “just for grins.”

Well, as usual, I've written more about less than I intended, so I will wrap this one up for now, and in the meantime, I wish you and yours a joyful, successful, injury-free, fast, fun and most of all, happy 2015!

unbearable stress and associated unhealthy lifestyle has had an enormous positive effect on my running and general outlook.

I also had the good fortune of remaining injury-free in 2014. This allows more consistent training and, as we all know, consistency is key to long-term improvement. I credit my wonderful husband, Rob, and my extremely supportive and forward-thinking coaches and running buddies with Without Limits. They have somehow managed to keep me in check while at the same time pushing me hard enough so I could see improvement without overtraining. I have made some wonderful friendships through my running team and this has improved my overall happiness; it's like we all feed on one another's positive energy and thereby boost the entire team. This is a phenomenal group of people!

Another big factor in my own improvement was a dramatic weight loss in 2014. I chronicled part of this journey in my last two articles. The weight loss would not have been possible without serious research into exactly what was causing me to retain unwanted weight, without the existence of supportive people to assist in remedying my problem, and without the undying support of my hubby, family and friends. The point here is that one's health, including weight loss, is never a solitary journey; a good support network is a must!

So, when you're evaluating your year, what big things happened for you? Did you retire or switch jobs? Start a new career? Start or graduate from high school, college, or graduate school? Did you get married? Have children? Lose a loved one? Make new friends? What is the state of your health? Have you had your annual check-up? How is your stress level compared to this time last year?

Once you have armed yourself with information from your 2014, you should be able to take a snapshot of where you are as a runner, and from that snapshot, you should be prepared to formulate attainable yet challenging goals for 2015.

Women’s Running Done, Done, and Done The birthday celebration is done and age 66 is looming on the horizon. As you may recall I turned 65 the end of last November and decided to do a marathon a month to celebrate. Looking back I must say that is one of the crazier decisions I have ever made. Fortunately for me I did not vow to race every marathon so early on decided to enjoy the experience and the courses. In retrospect I should have decided to race, as I will admit I got very lazy after about the fourth marathon. At times I thought the end would never come, although the marathons seemed to be every week not every month. I also discovered that walking feels really good when you get tired. And I will admit I did more than my share of walking.

I did marathons basically from one coast to the other and from north to south.

I spent a lot of time traveling and sleeping in beds that were not my own. It was definitely a wearing process. My celebratory 12 are done, I have completed 130 marathons and I am done. Done with marathons and done with celebratory declarations and done with lots of weekly miles! I must admit I was one of those people who said, many moons ago, that I would never run marathons if I could not do them under 3:30. Obviously that long ago declaration was abandoned, but I trust this one will not be.

Despite this I managed to qualify for Boston in seven of the 12 and averaged two minutes faster than my Boston qualifying time for all 12. My fastest was 4:12 and my personal worst slowest was 5:03 (dealing with a medical issue in this one).

I managed to set a state age-group record, got a silver medal at the national masters championship and won overall, five age group firsts, four seconds and one third. I also took three senior grandmaster titles.

Using age grading my fastest was 2:50:59 (almost identical to my open personal best) and my slowest 3:26:24 (age graded wise I never ran over 3:30!). So I am happy with what I did even though I never ran what I had trained to do. There actually is an upside to getting older.

There is a great deal less competition in my age group. And since I never raced, I was able to continue running my weekly mileage of 120 plus. Now I am not sure when I will be done with that record but I plan to find a new me come 2015. By the time you read this article I should be cutting my mileage, going to the gym, and taking my favorite pilates and yoga classes twice a week.

I must admit now that it is over, I am really glad I undertook challenging

myself to do something outside my comfort zone. I realized how important it is to stay injury free and healthy. I learned that your body will not always cooperate. In July I nearly had to abandon my goal as I had a medical problem occur at mile 19 and it was the last Sunday of the month. I had attempted to schedule my marathons early each month so I could have a back up later in the month if something went wrong. There was no fall back marathon here so I walked the last seven miles. I was so glad to finish. My friend Debbie Voiles of Run Tampa was worse off than me as she did the last seven with a broken arm after taking a fall before nineteen.

I ran marathons of all types -- rural, small, large, and the mega Boston Marathon of 2014. I really do not like the Boston course. I suspect it is because of all the hill repeats I did on Heartbreak Hill when I ran for the Boston Athletic Association. But after being there in 2013 when the bombs went off, I felt I really needed to be an active participant to take back the Boston Marathon. It was a very emotional week. I enjoyed the course, thanked volunteers, and stopped to visit with friends along the course (including a wildly cheering three-time Boston winner, Uta Pippig).

I must admit it is a bit disconcerting to watch Shalane Flanagan immediately go to the front of the women's race, then watch the men, and several other waves.

My wave started when it began to get very warm and as I stopped at mile 10 to visit my buddy Scott Winnier, his wife Marguerite, and their gorgeous daughter, Lily, I was told Meb won! I was excited then the realization hit that the elite women were finished, the elite men had crossed the finish line, and I had 16 plus miles to go. That was a bit of a downer!

But I marveled at all of the spectators, volunteers, and security. It was a beautiful day to experience Boston and give thanks

Down the Road

Fantasy For The New Year Dateline: December 31, 2015, South Carolina. Something special happened in South Carolina in 2015, something so seemingly impossible as to be miraculous. South Carolina became the first state where every race in the State during 2015 was run on a USATF certified course. Not only that, but every single one of them submitted their complete results (meaning place, name, gender, age, hometown, state, and gun time of every finisher who crossed the finish line.) USATF officials were astonished and stated that South Carolina set an example which every state should aspire to for future years. “Runners deserve to know that their race was the full advertised length.” One official said “The only way a runner can be sure they ran a full length course is to run it on a USATF certified course as measured.”

South Carolina had many years in which most races did not even submit results. And many of those which posted results in 2014 and earlier had posted incomplete or partial results. The items which were most commonly left out were hometown and state, sometimes gender, and frequently the gun time (actual time runners crossed the finish line after the starting gun was fired as opposed to computer re-arranged chip time which bears only a sometime relation to the order in which runners crossed the line).

The improvement was noticeable and remarkable.

Another interested party remarked on the fact that gun times were shown for every finisher in every race. “Some runners see results with only chip times and think that is their 'actual time'.

Unfortunately races that show only chip time give the runners no way to know what their actual finish place was in the race.”

Since a race actually starts when the race begins and not when the runner crosses the starting line, many younger runners are confused by 'chip times' thinking they are actual race times. But the actual time is from when the race starts and the runner reaches the finish line. A race is not a time trial.

USATF rule 245 defines race time and states: The official time shall be the time elapsed between the start of the watches or timing devices resulting from an appropriate start signal and when the athlete reaching the finish line (also called gun time). The actual time elapsed between when an athlete reaching the starting line and finish line (also called chip time) can be made

By Cedric Jaggers

known to the athlete, but will not be considered as official time.

Understanding of the rule brought some interesting comments. One runner said “I was surprised when I learned that races did not always show runners in the order they finished. I thought when I looked at results I could see the name of the person who finished right ahead of me and right behind me. But when races re-arranged finish order by chip time the person shown as finishing ahead of you could have been dozens of places behind you.” Another runner said “I don't care about anything but my chip time. If I ran a faster time than another person in the race, it doesn't matter if they crossed the finish line ahead of me. If I ran faster a faster chip time than the person who crossed the finish line first, I should get the first place award, even though the USATF rules say I should not.”

That every race submitted their results to USATF during 2015 was amplified by the submission of all the required paperwork for records to be recognized by USATF. Every race took the time and effort to do all the things necessary to be able to submit the necessary paperwork so that records run in their races could be recognized. This included having stopped time for the winning male and female, having random select times to ensure accuracy of results, and completing the Road Race Recognition Form.

One USATF official mentioned that people had frequently complained to them when they had run a record time at a race but the time was never recognized.

In these cases the official pointed out that the results and needed paperwork were never submitted to USATF, thus cheating the runner out of the record and resulting recognition.

So what happened in 2015 was amazing. All the races in the state used certified courses. All the races submitted complete results. All the over 550 held races in the state submitted all needed USATF documentation in case records had been set in their races. All the races

9

showed their results in gun time (actual finish time) order. Runners came to understand USATF rules and realized that races should use gun time and show chip time for runners' information. Doing this brought an amazing amount of recognition to how large the sport of running has become. Most people in the state had no idea that an average of over 10 road races were held every weekend of the year. When the running boom began in the 70s, there were barely 10 road races held in the state per year.

Since the results of all the races for 2015 had been submitted to USATF and posted so that everyone could access them, it raised the respect level for road races by a tremendous amount.

But this is a fantasy article. What happened in 2014 is most likely what will happen in 2015. Most races will not use certified full length courses. Most races will not create, much less submit complete results (i.e. with all needed information not just place, name and time) to USATF. Most races will not show results in gun time order with chip time shown for information. But we can dream can't we? What an interesting fantasy.

that this year was truly a return of Boston Strong punctuated with an American winning for the first time in over 30 years.

And Shalane led four women to break 2:20 despite the fact that she was not one of them. She ran a very brave race. It was truly a bright spot in my celebration.

My favorite marathon of the year besides perennial favorite Grandma's, was the Leading Ladies in Spearfish, SD. It was a celebration of women beyond your wildest imagination and I truly fell in love with the area. The spectacular scenery along the course made you feel a part of the grandeur Mother Nature has created. I learned not to pick a marathon just because it is sort of near home. I must have had a mental lapse as I forgot I live in the mountains.

I have found people run marathons for all sorts of reasons and no matter what your time is when you cross that finish line, you are a winner. I met a lot of winners this year running to lose weight, raise money, recover from a trauma or renew themselves and make themselves a little better. I believe the reasons for completing a marathon are as vast as the numbers of people who get it done. You discover a new strength and purpose to your life. The training and the entire process are an incredible journey.

I have had more than 150 such journeys (I estimate I have started but not finished about 20) and I have learned valuable lessons with each one. I am blessed that I could do what I have but I believe it is time to move elsewhere. However my husband has heard this before and he is not a believer. Only time will tell.

He Said, She Said What Role Does Compartmentalizing Serve?

“Organization is the key to total professionalism.” My father once told me that his father believed and had often uttered these words. Not having ever met my paternal grandfather, I can only imagine what these words meant in his life's journey. I can look at photos of him in his perfectly tailored and starched business suits, sitting behind a clean desk, and beside impeccably classified clipboards. I can imagine his closet of perfectly placed ties and hats, and button down shirts organized by color. I can listen to stories of hometown locals who appreciated his unbiased business ethics and admired his ability to effectively manage two cotton mills in a town and during a time when textiles wove the financial fabric for families' livelihood.

Physical organization must have been of prime importance for my grandfather to sew a story of business success that affected so many people's lives. And while outwardly, all of the flawlessly fixed physical compartments must have been meticulously sorted for seamless assembly line-like days of prosperity, so too must the psychological compartments have been arranged to balance the scales of career, family, expectations, and desires.

Compartmentalizing allows us to cope with what may otherwise present itself as conflicting chords in a musical masterpiece. We designate certain sections to the trumpets of triumph while designating different sections to the drums of despair. You may be able to pick this apart in your personal life and see how the strategy helps.

But as a runner, what role does compartmentalizing serve?

He (Andrew Allden) Said…

Women's Cross Country Coach and Men's Assistant Track Coach at the University of South Carolina, Andrew Allden believes that the ability to compartmentalize is one of the top three ingredients required of an aspiring competitive runner to achieve the realization of record running goals.

“Most top athletes are very good at being in the moment. Whether it be practice or competition, they are focused on that. Equally important they put it away and recharge when they are not racing or working out,” Allden said.

Having coached for more than 20 years,

By Mary Marcia Brown

and having coached elite athletes at the USA and World Championships, and the Olympics (including an Olympic silver medal winner), Allden knows how important it is to run one race at a time - mentally and physically. In addition to focused training, Allden also promotes adequate sleep and good nutrition to yield athletic success.

“Athletes who don't lead an organized regimented life are rarely successful in the long run,” Allden said.

During his 'long run' with the sport, 50year old Allden has experienced success both as a runner and as a coach. He ran in high school in Savannah, Georgia from 1979-1982, finishing up as Region Champ in the 1600 (4:31) and 3200 (10:00).

Collegiately, Allden ran at Emory University (1982-1986) in Atlanta, a Division III school in Atlanta, making Nationals in Cross County as a sophomore, and having a rewarding running experience until plantar problems required surgery

Coach Andrew Allden conferring with his volunteer assistant Sam Hughes.

after his senior year.

“In some ways the surgery was a blessing because it ended my competitive career and lead to me focusing on coaching at an early age,” Allden said.

In 1994, Allden served as the men's and women's cross country coach, and recruiting coordinator and interim head track coach at Tulane University. While coaching there in 1995, the team set nine school records, had seven conference champions, 19 all-conference honors and one NCAA Top 10 finisher. Allden was named Louisiana Cross Country Coach of the Year in 1995. From 1996-2001 Allden was the cross country and distance coach at the University of South Carolina. He was the men's distance coach for the U.S. men's track and field team at the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Budapest, Hungary in 2004.

“I returned to college coaching in August 2013 after 10 years away. The first five years I worked at the University of North Carolina as meet director and alumni relations director for track. The second five years I started my own company, AA Elite Coaching, and worked as a Coaching Educator, Consultant, and a Private and Elite Coach. I have [also] continued working with coaching education and just completed (with Coach Joe Vigil) the rewrite of the Endurance portion of the USATF Level I text,” Allden shared.

He still coaches a few private athletes he works with through AA Elite Coaching as well -- mostly elite masters.

“Since coaching elite athletes is not as lucrative as most people imagine, working with someone with a good sense of humor and appreciation is a must. A good laugh at practice and a thank you counts for a lot,” Allden said, adding that self-discipline and a love for the sport are equally as crucial.

Even the best sense of humor paired with the deepest love of the sport are not enough however, for aspiring competitive runners to realize record goals. In addition to effectively compartmentalizing, Allden believes patience and talent are the remaining ingredients required to really 'go for (and get) the gold.'

When speaking of patience, Allden reminds the athletes he coaches that “real results are not achieved in weeks or months, but years.” If they have that

patience and the ability to compartmentalize, then talent is the only other ingredient they need in the record-breaking batter.

But talent isn't just something athletes can add to a list and go out and get.

“While anybody can improve, what science is teaching us is that talent in the endurance event may be a matter of having a body that continually adapts to training, and frankly that is something one is born with,” Allden said.

He also admitted how much he enjoys working with that gift he finds in many of the talented athletes he coaches.

“One, because I hate to see talent wasted, and two, because talented athletes challenge you as a coach and teach you what is possible,” Allden said.

Appreciating what he has learned as a coach from his athletes, and grateful for his family, and his mentor, Dr. Vigil, Allden stated it simply when he said, “we don't do it alone.” Athletes teach coaches, coaches teach athletes, and key people are there to support the process throughout the venture.

As a runner, Allden is grateful for the coaches who allowed him the opportunity to learn and eventually coach. As a coach, he is grateful for the privilege he now has of coaching talented, dedicated athletes.

Coach Allden knows the benefits of coaching both as a runner and a coach and therefore effectively compartmentalized the roles of runner, client, coach, and lawyer, when he quoted the old adage that applies to all…

“A man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client.”

She (Mary Marcia Brown) Said…

As a runner, I have separate compartments in my closet for my favorite running shorts, best running sports bras, breathable dry wicking shirts, newest running shoes, and rainbow of running hats. I have compartments in my jewelry box for my running watches, and compartments in my desk designated for running sunglasses and music players. I have a special album for all my Running Journal issues, and a compartment for my yearly calendars where I log my daily miles (I still prefer pen and giant paper calendars to computer logs and cell phone apps).

But these are just the superficial, surface compartments of my relationship with running. My mind is wholly loaded with visibly hidden, running-designated compartments as well. There are compartments for strong training days, sub-par training days, fast race finishes, not-so-fast race finishes,

Still in Recovery

By Ray Krolewicz

need three weeks off after the surgery. I decided that sounded like a good idea.

On Monday Nov. 3, I went in for the surgery. When the doctor came to release me he said there had been two hernias, and the second one was big enough that he wanted four weeks before I resumed running. I was glad he thought the repair would outlast the rest of me, and went home to recover.

For the next four days I did little but lie around. The recovery was much easier than either of my previous two hernia repairs. There was little pain. I even sneezed without cursing. I did notice that each time I would walk to the bathroom, or get up to get a little movement in, the heels remained the same.

Saturday after surgery I had the South Carolina State Cross Country Championships to attend. Both of the teams I coach had qualified and I wanted to be there to cheer them on. (Both teams did well with 11 of the 14 runners recording all time personal best performances at the 5 kilometer distance.)

I went home after the meet and resumed resting for the remainder of the weekend.

Monday I returned to work, and had to change a flat tire en-route. It did not appear I incurred any damage.

I continued working a pretty much normal schedule except for no running. On the 20th, I had my follow up appointment with the doctor. I told him how well I was recovering, and asked if I might resume running a bit earlier. He said to give it another week. I did, making my first run post-surgery a 5K run. I ran slow 5 mile runs each of the next two days.

The legs were tired and the heels uncomfortable. I took the next day off. I am sure I will continue to recover. I should be able to resume training to build strength. After all I think I have found a 12-hour race to run six weeks post-surgery. Hopefully that will give me something new to recover from.

JACKS

It has been over four months since the completion of 2014 miles of the Sri Chinmoy 3100 mile run. I have still not recovered. I am getting there, but there are lingering effects. This leads me to believe that, yes, one can get too much of a good thing.

Races deplete and they take something from the internal stores of the body. They utilize the long-term effects of training and allow the mind to push the body to new heights, performances, and accomplishments. There is a cost however.

Anyone who has ever run a marathon or longer event knows the soreness in the days following an all-out effort. The creaky joints, the still muscles, the walking backwards down stairs, the fatigue.

That is all to be expected. Training follows hard/easy schedules for a reason. It allows the body to recover, adapt, and become stronger.

I have done some big training in the past. I have had 88-mile weekends where I have run a pair of 22 milers each day. I have not maintained that quantity for long periods of time, however. My biggest training week ever was 240 miles, all training, no races. That works out to 34 miles a day. During the 2014/3100 I averaged 38.7 miles a day for 52 days. The lowest day was 19. Every other day was beyond the marathon.

I have realized that by the 15th day or so I was doing very little quality running. I was moving, I even had a few days of fairly good mileage, over 50 miles, but there were few quality miles, and little recovery.

Even as I covered close to 40 miles a day, I was losing conditioning.

I have run since the conclusion of the event. There have been the completed ultras of 50K, 100 miles, 65 miles, and 55 miles….all run slowly. There has been some recovery, a little more speed, and a little less fatigue in the legs. The most lingering effect remains a strange sort of numbness in the heels, not painful, but uncomfortable at the same time. It does not allow me to feel the ground properly as I run, or even walk.

Due to the slow rate of recovery, and people telling me I should take some time completely off, I decided to do exactly that. I had a small hernia that needed to be repaired. It was actually the recurrence of one that had been repaired in 1986. (I had also had the other side repaired in 2001.)

Twenty-eight years of wear and tear later it was time to fix it again. I was told I would

Running Journal • January, 2015

Learning from the Young Guns Three Ways to Tempo Running fast is fun. The lung busting satisfaction of a fast interval workout provides the immediate gratification we all crave. Part of it is the excitement of running fast and perhaps part is the convenience of track work, but I think most of the allure is the idea that the harder the pain the more the gain. Counter intuitively this isn't always the case in distance running. You must work hard to perform well, that much is true, but I've found some of that effort is often misplaced. I've discussed the importance of laying an aerobic base before, the value of “conversation paced” running cannot be overstated and should always comprise the majority of your training. However, as you get into the phase of training where you are doing harder workouts 1-2 times a week (I would suggest no more than this) you will benefit greatly in events from the mile to the marathon and beyond by focusing most of your hard days on improving your anaerobic threshold.

The biggest mistake I see people make is spending far too much time doing “speed work” that focuses on all-out running designed, intentionally or otherwise, on developing the anaerobic system. Have you ever had that quick jump in performance and then plateaued for weeks or months or even years after doing consistent hard interval work? Or have you ever found yourself fatigued and worn out by the time your key race rolled around?

Then a transition to more aerobically geared workouts might be right for you!

Infomercial personality aside, these are a couple of symptoms of overtraining the anaerobic system. Training the anaerobic system does have benefits, but it must be done sparingly, and those benefits are minimal when compared to the improvements you can gain by training the aerobic system through work commonly referred to as tempo running.

The traditional tempo run is designed to improve your anaerobic threshold by running steadily at or just below that threshold. For those of you who are heart rate runners, your anaerobic threshold is between 85-88% of your maximum heart rate. For those that aren't it is typically the pace you could hold for about an hourlong race. While the traditional tempo run is a great way to stimulate the anaerobic threshold, it isn't the only way to train this system, nor should it be. Below I have 3 different ways to improve your anaerobic threshold, including the classic tempo

run, while adding variety to your tempo routine. The change of stimulus allows for greater gains while still focusing on training the aerobic system. #1: Tempo Run. The traditional tempo run is a staple in many runners' training arsenal, but it can still be a difficult workout to execute properly. The goal of a tempo run is not to run as hard as you can for the specified time or distance; that should be left for race day. We've all executed tempo runs that way, but again, the idea is to keep the effort at a place where you finish feeling like there is more in the tank. A tempo run should generally be somewhere between 15-40 minutes, depending on your experience level and event focus. For a tempo run under 30 minutes you should target a pace you could hold for roughly an hour. For a tempo run approaching 40 minutes you should run 5-10 sec/mile slower than that to keep it at the same effort level. #2: Tempo Mile Repeats. Everyone is familiar with traditional mile repeats, but this is a great twist that makes the workout a little more moderate with great aerobic benefits. The workout is simple: 3-6 x 1 mile repeats with 60-120 seconds easy jog or walk between each repeat. Start at or even 5-10sec/mile quicker than half marathon pace and work down to 10K race pace for the last 1-2 repeats. Aim to move a little quicker each repeat, and when you're feeling more fit try shortening the rest by 30 seconds instead of speeding up. A runner new to this type of work or running less than 35 miles per week should aim for 3-4 repeats with a touch more recovery while a more experienced runner training over 35 miles per week should aim for 5-6 repeats with a little less recovery. As your fitness improves try to reduce the recovery time before you increase the speed. #3: Tempo 400s. This is my favorite icing on the cake workout. This session should be done in the final 4-6 weeks of

preparation. It is intended to work on economy and put a little bit of snap in your legs. As alluded to in the name, it's an aerobically based workout disguised as a more traditional hard interval session.

The key is in the controlled pacing of the repeats. The number of repeats should vary, depending on your training level and experience, from 2-4 sets of (3-4x400m).

The recovery should be 45-50 seconds between repeats and 2:00-2:30 between sets. Start the first set at or 5-10sec/mile quicker than 10K pace and finish the final set at 5k pace or even a few ticks quicker.

You should finish feeling in control and comfortable. This is a great confidence booster in the final few weeks before a race as you will be surprised how good you will feel running relatively fast.

There are a number of other ways to target this energy system and improve your aerobic ability, these are just a few examples to spice up your routine and make the most out of your workouts. Anytime I give a training talk, whether it's about 5K or the marathon I always finish by saying, “when in doubt err on the side of being more aerobic”. Remember, the vast majority of distance races are dependent on aerobic ability; even a 5K is 88-90% aerobic in nature while the marathon is close to 99%. Your training should reflect the demands of the race. I know running fast is fun, but remember tempo work is the key to running fast come race day.

HE SAID, SHE SAID CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 personal record-setting races, courteous runner occurrences, rude runner encounters, side stitch visits, near bathroom misses, and every other running-related compartment one can conceive.

One can easily see, how compartmentalizing may be helpful to runners. I mean, if you did not have a special compartment for the nasty nagging thought developed after your last disappointing race performance that said, “Those hills got the best of you again. You'll never beat your 10k time on this course. All that hill training was just a waste,” then it would probably just float around in your mind weaving negative energy through the otherwise positive and supportive thoughts you create. Not only that, neglecting to designate a compartment to tuck away such a thought, may also make it challenging to; try the course again, beat your 10K course time, and tackle useful hill training.

On the opposite side of the finisher's medal, relentless thoughts of victory after a successful race could be equally as harmful. “I am truly awesome. Since I just ran a 19-minute 5k this week, there is no reason I can't run an 18-minute at next weekend's race, and take home the overall win.” Hmmmmm….a useful compartment for the recent victory may be a wise idea to prevent the ego from running his own improperly prepared 5k in a weekend to come.

Briefly analyzing your running performance can certainly be helpful.

Dwelling on a running experience likely will not be. So, pull out the labeling tape and start organizing your running compartments - physically and mentally.

Objectively look at each running experience without judgment, learn what you can, then neatly tuck it away in its convenient compartment. And remember to spring clean. Clearing out your mental compartments completely can be a tremendously liberating experience.

Lace up and approach your run with no weight of past experiences and no expectations of future finishes. Enjoy your miles like you've never run them before.

Post run, just remember to put your dirty clothes in the hamper compartment marked 'delicate running duds.'

Running Journal • January, 2015

Distance Memories Aging Gracefully on the 60th It started over 20 years ago. On my 40th birthday I ran 40 miles. On my 45th birthday I ran 45 miles. This went on for another decade until I decided that 55 miles on my 55th birthday was a good place to call a truce-on behalf of my abused body--between running my age in miles every five years. Or at least 'convert' to kilometers on my 60th birthday (that would mean running 37.2 miles for anyone not fluent in metric).

As I've come to learn, time has a way of sneaking up on you. I'll be 60 this December and it was time to make a decision. It took all of 60 seconds: I wanted to run 60 miles; kilometers are for wimps (sorry, Europe).

The first thing I needed was an accomplice. What's that, Sarah? You just ran your first 100-miler this summer, you're hungry for more and all I have to do is say 'when?' Give me a couple of dates that work for you and I'll see which days I have available and we'll go from there.

Once Sarah and I agreed that Sunday, Nov. 16 would work for both of us, I got an Email with the volunteer schedule for church. My wife Cindy and I were scheduled to work at Grand Central (the information counter) on Nov. 16. I asked Kathi the scheduler to swap me out with someone on Nov. 23 and asked that she not tell Cindy about my plans to run 60 miles on the 16th.

So what happens next? Cindy comes home one evening and says she saw a revised Grand Central schedule and that I was no longer scheduled to work with her on the 16th. I said I asked Kathi to schedule me for the 23rd as I had something to do on the 16th.

Cindy: 'Kathi said you were running a race. Are you going out of town?'

Me: 'No. I'll be here.'

Cindy: 'Are you going to be running?'

Me: 'Yes.' Cindy: 'And it's going to take most of the day?'

Me: 'Yes.' Cindy: 'Well, it's not your birthday.'

Me: 'But it's almost my birthday.'

Cindy: 'Oh Lord, please don't tell me you're running 60 miles.'

Me: 'OK, I won't.'

(Insert sound of lead balloon hitting the ground) Cindy knows me all too well. I think in her heart she knew 60 miles was inevitable, although she was probably hoping and praying I would convert to the metric system once I reached decade # 6.

By Scott Ludwig

As the date drew nearer the usual suspects lined up to run some of the miles with me. Al, Susan, Val, Eric, Sarah and my son, Josh, said they'd be out to give me the best birthday gift they could possibly offer: Themselves.

I laid out a flat (well, at least it seemed flat when I drove it in my truck), shaded 2 mile route starting and finishing in downtown Haralson (Population zero, although it is a very familiar locale to anyone who watches the opening credits to The Walking Dead). The plan was to run the loop 24 times counterclockwise beginning at 6 a.m. My friends could join me any time throughout the day. Their instructions: Look for my blue Gator truck in deserted, downtown Haralson and wait-I'll be coming by about every 27 minutes for the first 35 miles or so, but after that all bets were off. I hoped to finish up around 6 p.m. if everything went according to plan.

Sarah and Josh started with me at (officially) 6:02 a.m. Josh, getting his first exposure to an ultrarunning endeavor, studied the assorted food and drink I loaded on the back of the truck: Gatorade, water, soda, chocolate milk, ginger snaps and pretzels-all things I would be soon be sick of and wouldn't eat or drink for weeks after today.

We used a flashlight for the first loop as we took note of the solitude and the incredibly great weather we were blessed with (40 degrees, slight breeze, overcast).

Josh ran 10 miles and then headed home as he was going to church with Cindy. I made note that Josh stopped to answer Nature's Call about every three miles, lending more support to the 'apple not falling far from the tree' theory. Sarah held on for 25 miles before calling it a day, but by that time Eric had shown up wanting to run 20 miles so it looked like I'd have company for at least the first 45 miles of my run.

Now would be a good time to interject what didn't happen during the course of

the day: • I didn't trip and fall.

• I didn't have to stop to answer Nature's Other Call.

• I didn't change clothes (although I did remove my jacket after the first loop).

• I didn't change shoes.

• I didn't cuss (although Eric said I exhaled the word 'sh*t' every other breath).

• I didn't have any close encounters with mean dogs or hostile Haralsonians.

• I didn't quit.

(Wanted to, but didn't. More on that shortly.)

Al and Susan showed up for their 10 miles shortly after Eric started running with me. Once Eric completed his 20 miles and called it a day, I still had six more ibuprofen remaining before my run was complete. (Let me explain: I counted off 24 ibuprofen-one for each of the laps I needed to run-and placed them on the right side of the back bumper on the truck. After each lap I would move one ibuprofen to the left side of the bumper; once all 24 had made it from one side to the other I would be finished. My only concern was if someone showed up while I was in the middle of a loop, consume a couple of the ibuprofen and forget which pile they took them from.)

I ran briskly for the next three laps once Eric left (no one was with me, so yes, I RAN BRISKLY FOR THE NEXT THREE LAPS). Towards the end of my 21st lap I heard a car approaching me from behind: It was Val. She was finished showing houses for the day and could go home (she lives about three miles away) and change into her running attire if I wanted company for the final three laps.

If she only knew what was running through my head during that 21st lap (52 miles isn't bad, is it? Who could fault me if I stopped? Etc., etc.) she wouldn't have needed to ask.

Fifteen minutes later she returned and the two of us ran, walked, reminisced (Val and I have been friends so long that she was by my side when I ran my 40th mile on my 40th birthday, and I was by her side three weeks later when she ran her 35th mile on her 35th birthday) and laughedyes, LAUGHED-until the last three ibuprofen made it to the left side of the bumper.

I looked at my watch when we finished: 6:12 p.m. We shared a couple of beers I had hidden in the cooler beneath the two 64-ounce bottles of Gatorade and 20 pounds of ice. Pitch black evening (you couldn't see the stars for the cloud cover), total silence, deserted town of Haralson boarded up buildings everywhere - and two old friends sharing a beer after doing what they love doing most. Val hit the nail on the head when she referred to it as

13

'surreal,' because it most certainly was.

I took the following day as a vacation day from work. After all, I'm not a 52-or53-year-old kid anymore (and the mere fact that I refer to someone 52 or 53 as a 'kid' sort of tells you something about me) and I knew I'd need the day to recover.

That next morning-after my two cups of coffee, of course - I took a personal inventory of which parts of my body hurt.

Here's a short list: • Everything.

Al has been encouraging me for yearsstarting about the time I was still a 52-or53-year-old kid - that I should learn to cut back my mileage, stop running so hard and age gracefully. Now that I've gotten this 60-miler out of my system I'm ready to do just that.

Note to Val: Thanks for pulling me through those last three loops. I don't think I could have done them without you.

Honest in'jun. I'm sorry I won't be in town in a few weeks for your birthday. That is, unless you're ready to convert to kilometers. Then we'll talk.

This Running Life Cheering or Heckling? When does it cross the line?

On Thanksgiving Day, my sore knee was thankful for not running in my local Turkey Trot, and instead joined the fun on the sidelines with friends who were volunteering as course monitors.

For the next hour, the three of us stood by the side of the road cheering for runners. Runners in full turkey outfits.

Runners dressed as pilgrims. Runners in tutus. Runners wearing super hero costumes. Runners wearing funny hats shaped like a turkey drumsticks, slices of pumpkin pie, indian headdresses, turkey heads, and even a cheeseburger.

So we hollered at them: “Go Superman! Think ya can make it Pilgrim - using our best John Wayne voice! Whatta Turkey! Run Piehead! Cute Indian! Wonder Woman!

Of course, we meant all of it as pure fun. After all, if you run a race wearing a funny costume, you know you are going to attract attention.

But as the back of the pack runners approached, one man stood out. He was tall, husky and breathing hard, red-faced and sweating too, despite the chilly damp

weather. And he was wearing a tee shirt boldly proclaiming in large, white, allcaps letters: “RUNNING SUCKS.” So of course we loudly and gleefully yelled: “Running sucks!”

He looked at us with a puzzled, stricken expression on his face, as if his feelings were hurt. But when we pointed out the slogan on his shirt he got the joke and laughed.

That started the three of us thinking about that fine line between cheering and

heckling.

I ran in a Divas half marathon in Myrtle Beach a couple of years ago. The Divas series is a women's race, where the running outfit of choice is a lush tutu.

Finishers receive boa scarves, tiaras and a glass of champagne at the finish line. I was about five miles in, running mid-pack next to a sidewalk lined with spectators when a little girl shouted “Go grannies go!”

What? Grannies?

Glancing around, most of the runners in my pack looked quite youthful, with not a noticeable granny in the bunch. And even if some of us were grandmothers in real life, we certainly defied the “granny” stereotype.

Then it occurred to me she was probably there to cheer for her own grandmother and thought all of us were grannies.

That's what I choose to believe anyway.

But back to the question at hand. When does cheering cross the line and start to sound like heckling?

I found an online runners' message board with a lengthy thread devoted to heckling. Some runners think the jeers are funny and get big laughs out of some of the wisecracks tossed their way. Others use heckling as motivation to run faster and get in better shape. Some runners get scared. Some get mad. Others get even.

I will go out on a limb here and state that virtually every person who has laced up a pair of running shoes and hit the pavement has heard all the Forrest Gump jokes. From “Run Forrest Run” to “Where's Bubba?” to “Will run for shrimp.” That movie actually celebrated its 20th Anniversary last year, which means it likely premiered long before many hecklers were even born.

Sadistic drivers use their vehicles to heckle runners. Driving through puddles to create huge waterfalls is a minor form of harrassment, compared to the drivers who swerve towards the shoulder of roads pretending to hit runners and cyclists.

Some drivers honk their horns scaring runners nearly to death, and sometimes even throw things like cups of soda, garbage and even rocks at runners.

Tall or short, fat or skinny, it doesn't matter what type of body you have. You're going to get heckled for it. From homophobic slurs to catcalls, neither men nor women are immune.

On the message board, a male runner posted that he had been out for a run when a small group of girls got in front of him and started running and screaming like he

was chasing them. A female runner reported on “skeezy men on scooters” who whistled, honked their horns and tried to make conversation.

“We're talking 60-plus and on Vespas,” she wrote. “I really do marvel at it.”

Sometimes heckling becomes a lifethreatening situation. On message boards, some female runners recount experiences of near kidnappings or rape.

One runner reported that as an 18-year old, she was running along a road at night when a group of men riding in a van stopped and tried to pull her inside. She made her way to a playground where she hid in a covered slide while the group canvassed the area calling out for her. She eventually made it home. Another woman reported she actually quit running for awhile after enough men in cars tried to pick her up. She eventually took a selfdefense class and never ran alone again.

On the bright side, heckling often brings with it the motivation to improve.

One runner on the message board reported the “run fatass run” shout-out he heard on his morning outing motivated him to lose 35 pounds and increase his speed.

Other runners run faster to get away from hecklers and count that as a good thing.

My friend Dale Pithers, a runner here in Raleigh told me about a race in which he got revenge on a group of hecklers.

“Once in a half marathon at Myrtle Beach, a whole group of young guys ran past me around mile 6, each saying 'hang in there 'Big Guy,” Dale posted to me on Facebook. “When I passed them all around mile 12, I said hang in there 'little guys.”

Which just goes to show a heckle can cut both ways.

Natural State of Running Lots of Runner Honors in Arkansas This is the time of year when everyone starts to question where has the time gone. Another year or running is in the books. Races, streaks, and PRs are but a few of our favorite things to talk about. In the Arkansas running scene, we've endured the passing of many of our own.

They are more than runners, but lifelong friends even in the afterlife. They will live on in each of us.

I've watched the Searcy running community grow over the years. With the forming of an official club, it will continue to flourish.

Grand Prix Awards

Tia Stone running hard

It's been a busy month for Arkansas Runner Mom Tia Stone. In her last few races she was the second female at the Spa 10K (Nov. 22), first female at the Great 10K Duck Race (Nov. 29), and third female at the St. Jude Half Marathon (Dec. 6).

She announced a website she's working on with her friend Amanda from Runninghood called Run With Me Kids.

In her words, the following is what the site will be about.

“Run With Me Kids will be a site that offers community, guidance, information and inspiration about making running (and fitness) fun for kids while fostering family relationship and helping kids build healthy habits for living. Our site will include stories from the community about family running experiences as well as posts about running, fitness, parenting, healthy living, and more,” Stone said.

Not too long after her announcement, I found out about the website for the RRCA running club she recently started called Searcy Rush in Searcy, AR. She resides

The Grand Prix Awards were held after the Spa 10K on Nov. 22. David Meroney, Arkansas State Representative presided and RRCA At-Large Director, Kelly 'K2' Richards was in attendance.

It was a day that was about more than awards or reports. The Arkansas running community remembered those who had passed away in the past year: Beverly Carter, Bob Hayes, Josh Holt, Larry Mabry and Jacob Wells.

Two awards were presented posthumously to Jacob Wells. The Buzz Wilson Arkansas Spirit Award was renamed in his honor.

The first three years of the races have been cold. Sitting through the night counting laps could become challenging when you're thinking your fingers may not make it through the night.

It was chilly this year and there was a fire, but it wasn't pleasant compared to previous years. It warmed up quite a bit on Saturday and it was windy. It was one of the warmest days we've had in a while.

The 24-Hour runners started at 7:30 p.m. while the 6 and 12-hour runners started the following morning at 7:30 a.m.

Many of the usual suspects were there and ready to run off any Thanksgiving feasting fiascoes.

Some of my clients seem jealous of their teammates. “They eat twice as much as I do and they are skinny as a rail. I just smell cookies and I gain weight,” spouted one collegiate runner. She seemed miffed that she couldn't eat as much as her peers-and she couldn't understand why. They all ran the same mileage, did the same workouts, and were similar in body size. Life seemed so unfair!

Yes, life is unfair when it comes to weight management. Some runners gain (or lose) body fat more easily than others. Unfortunately, fat gain (or loss) is not as mathematical as we would like it to be.

That is, if you persistently overeat (or undereat) by 100 calories a day, in theory you will gain (or lose) 10 pounds of body fat a year.

But this theory does not hold up in reality. People vary greatly in their susceptibility to gain or lose body fat in response to over- or under-eating.

In general, when people overeat, research has suggested about 85% of the excess calories get stored as fat and the rest gets lost as heat. Overfed fat cells grow in size and in number and provide a storehouse of energy. Obese people commonly have enough fat stores to last a year or more; even lean runners have enough fat stores to fuel a month or more. Fat can be advantageous during a time of severe illness or a famine.

Burning calories Lets take a closer look at the four primary ways you burn calories: 1. Basal metabolic rate (BMR). BMR refers to calories burned when you are at rest and unfed, such as upon waking in the morning. Your heart, lungs, liver, and other organs use a fairly consistent amount of energy each day to keep you alive. Some runners believe they have a slow metabolic rate that causes them to gain weight easily. Not the case. Very few people have a “slow metabolism.”

2. Thermic effect of food. This refers to the energy needed to digest, absorb and either convert food into fuel for the muscles and organs or store the excess energy as body fat. The thermic effect of food increases ~14% with overfeeding, due to the added energy needed to process the excess food.

3. Purposeful exercise. This is what you burn during your workouts. This can vary considerably from day to day.

4. Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT). This refers to activities of daily living (brushing teeth, washing dishes, etc.), fidgeting, energy used to maintain posture when standing and sitting, and spontaneous muscle contractions that occur during the day apart from your purposeful exercise. People with high NEAT spontaneously putter around the house, fidget with pencils, use their hands when talking, and are animated and lively. NEAT is genetic and somewhat predictive of who stays lean throughout their lifespan.

People with low NEAT are good at sitting quietly. For example, obese people tend to sit 2.5 hours more a day than their peers and this can save them about 350 calories a day. Are they obese because they sit more? (Or do they sit more because they are obese?) Is NEAT the problem?

What happens with overeating?

To better understand why some people lose or gain weight more easily than others, Dr. James Levine PhD of the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota designed a study to look at the biological mechanisms that hinder fat-gain. Dr. Levine studied 16 non-obese subjects (12 males and 4 females), ranging in age from 25 to 36 years. They volunteered to eat 1,000 excess calories a day (above what they needed to maintain weight) for 8 weeks. The subjects were healthy, did not do purposeful exercise more than twice a week, and maintained a stable weight. Prior to being overfed, the researchers monitored the subjects for two weeks to learn how much food they regularly consumed to maintain their weight.

During the study, the subjects lived at their homes but ate supervised meals at the research center. The food had been carefully pre-

pared and measured in a metabolic kitchen. The weight-gain diet was high in protein (20% of total calories) and fat (40% of calories), and low in carbohydrate (40%). The researchers accounted for almost all of the excess 1,000-calories a day. On average, ~430 of the 1,000 calories were stored and ~530 were dissipated via increased energy expenditure. The researches even measured 3 days of poop before and at the end of the study to be sure the subjects did not excrete calories during overfeeding. Only 38 calories a day got flushed down the toilet during overfeeding - 13 calories more than during normal eating.

Here is the fate of the 1,000 excess calories the subjects ate: Energy stored as fat ranged from 60-685 calories per day Energy stored as muscle ranged from 15-80 calories per day Additional calories burned by organs: about 80, on average Additional calories used to digest the extra food: about 135, on average Additional calories burned via NEAT ranged from none to 690.

The researchers used highly accurate methods to measure changes in body fat (DXA). Some of the subjects gained 10 times more fat than others, ranging from 0.8 to 9 lbs (0.36 - 4.23 kg). The overall weight gain ranged from 3 to 12 lbs (1.4 -5.5 kg), some of which was additional muscle and water. NEAT explained the big variation in weight gain that occurred with the subjects in this overfeeding study. The subjects who were good fidgeters and putterers gained less.

The average increase in NEAT was 336 calories a day, but this actually ranged from burning 98 calories less than baseline to burning 690 calories more than baseline. The subject who burned the most calories strolled around the research facility (or did equivalent movement) about 15 minutes more per hour than the other subjects.

Conclusion Despite popular belief, the ease of gaining weight is unlikely due to having a “slow metabolism.” Most often, runners who are easy gainers are mellow, sit calmly, and don't fidget. This contrasts to teammates that are bouncing around the locker room. If you are the mellow-type, blame your genetics - not a slow metabolism - for your ease of weight gain. And perhaps you can be grateful you can spend less money on food because you don't eat as much?

Kara Goucher Takes the Gamble

By Larry Eder

www.running.net ers thrown into marathon coverage with only Wikipedia as their guide seems to be growing. Kara Goucher had a bad day. Athletes at her level have them, as they battle both conditions and competitors, as well as themselves. Kara Goucher handled the uninformed media quite well.

Kara Goucher, with her son, Colt and her husband Adam, are a media magnet. It is part of the reason why Oiselle apparel and SKECHERS footwear sponsor her. Other brands have told me that, once Kara does retire, her future as a spokesperson for fitness and women's sports knows no limits. But that, at this time, seems several years away.

That evening, Kara Goucher showed up at the SKECHERS party with Meb Keflezighi and was as charming as ever. The throng that surrounds her, men and women, at all of her events should comfort her that many in the running community get that she is on the comeback trail and that there are ups and downs.

Kara Goucher is an athlete of immense talent and drive. There are many places that she will go in her journey as an athlete, a mother, a wife and a role model to many. That journey is fun to watch, from the outside, but, like all of life, fraught with difficult moments.

Even with her special blanket from her son, Colt, Kara Goucher was not really warm. The winds at the start of the 2014 TCS New York City Marathon were strong and gusts of up to thirty-six miles per hour. The temperature felt like in the twenties, and the elite women's field of nearly fifty runners got off to a timely start.

Kara Goucher had planned on running around 2:28 pace, and with good weather, it would have been pretty close, but in this weather and in this race, Kara Goucher took some chances and as runners do, sometimes it works and this time, it just was not her day....

Kara Goucher is a seasoned athlete. As a college athlete she battled injuries, and when she graduated, she and husband Adam Goucher loaded up their stuff and moved to Portland, Oregon. Why? Because Kara knew that she and Adam could run better. From 2004-2011, Kara and Adam were coached by Alberto Salazar. From 2011 to 2013, Kara was coached by Jerry Schumacher. Adam retired from competition in 2010.

But, also wonderful moments as well.

They spent several years racing as elite runners, and as Adam's career came to a close, Kara's career started to rise. In 2007, Kara took the bronze in the Kara Goucher is back running, and that is good news.

10,000 meters in the World Championships. In 2012, she made the Olympic One race and one day at a time. marathon team, after having made the 2008 team in the 10,000 meters as well.

Now back in Boulder, Colorado, training with Jenny Simpson and Emma Coburn under their college coaches, lead by Mark Wetmore and Heather Burroughs, Jenny Simpson had the best season of her career in 2014, Emma Coburn set an AR in the steeplechase and Kara Goucher battled back from injuries, and started to round into shape.

Her race at the RNR Philly Half marathon was pretty good. She wanted a 1:12 and ran 1:11:39. Kara has been smart about her comeback from a back injury. Quite adept at the social media world, Kara has kept expectations down for her upcoming marathon return.

This past July Mark Wetmore, her coach, told this writer, while both of us were in Glasgow, Scotland, that Kara was coming along fine. Her half marathon in September showed that, while Kara Goucher was not in 2:24.52 shape, her personal best from 2011, when she was fifth at Boston, she was returning to shape.

The race was tough. Kara stayed on 2:28 marathon pace for the first half of the race, hitting halfway in 1:14, and stayed on the pace until about 30 kilometers, when the wind, the cold and running in no women's land took its toll. For elite runners, this is where many drop out. Kara had sponsors and a public who worships her, and between those conditions and her absolute desire to race well, Kara Goucher gutted out a 14th place finish in the women's race and a 2:37.03.

No women's land is tricky. Running by oneself, in cold and windy conditions, is even more of a pain. It is downright horrible. Gutting it out in conditions like that is harder than a fast race. Ask anyone who has done both. Some days you have Personal Bests, and then, as famed RW writer Hal HIgdon coined in the 1970's, one has their Personal Worst. Higdon's comment always was, embrace the personal worst like personal best. Easier to read that to do.

So, Kara Goucher ran a PW of 2:37.03. All runners should be so lucky.

Not the race she wanted, but, she is not injured, just hurt that her race did not go to plan.

The race through the five boroughs was cold and windy. " I took a gamble, and stayed with the lead pack, to stay warm, but, it was just not my day" was how Kara Goucher, trying to hold back tears, noted to the media.

Several media members asked her questions about her retirement, which Kara Goucher, staying warm, 2 November 2014, was just amazing to this writer, but, in city marathons the abundance of writ- Photo by PhotoRun.net

Running Through the Bluegrass About 5,000 Will Complete All 3 Triple Crown Races January - the start of a new year and, for many of us, the start of a new racing "season." January is the month many of us start getting back into training, after coasting through the holiday season. In Louisville, the combination of New Year's resolutions and the Triple Crown race series serves as an impetus for many, both veteran athletes and new ones.

The Triple Crown is a three-race series, with a race usually every-other weekend, including a 5k, 10k and a 10 miler. Each year about 20,000 people complete at least one of the three, with about 5,000 finishing the whole series. It's a challenging and competitive series, but also offers less experienced runners a chance to build up to a longer race. Many also use it as preparation for the Derby miniMarathon in late April.

This year, the Anthem 5k will be March 7, followed by the Rodes City Run 10k March 21 and the Papa John's 10 miler April 4.

By Tracy Green

In 2014, major road construction in downtown Louisville forced the Anthem 5k course to move about 20 minutes from its normal location. The course was in a business park and the traffic situation abysmal. But, this year the course is back downtown and actually even better than before. The scenery should be more interesting and the course -- known for being fast before -- should be even faster now. (If you've run it before, take heart that the hill just after mile 1 is gone!)

The Rodes City Run 10k will retain its long-time course that takes racers past

historic Cave Hill Cemetery and past part of Cherokee park, with a start and finish line also downtown.

And, Papa John's 10 miler will continue to start at -- surprise -- Papa John's Cardinal Stadium, home of the University of Louisville football team.

This keyhole course travels down Southern Parkway, one of four Olmsteaddesigned parkways in the city, around Iroquois Park (also Olmstead's), and back down Southern Parkway. It finishes on the football field; beware the overpass hill at mile 9 and note that the last mile will seem twice as long since you can hear the finish festivities starting at that mile-to-go marker.

The Triple Crown is really a hallmark of the Louisville running community, having technically started in 1984. Then, it featured the 10k, a now-defunct 15k, and the Derby miniMarathon. Later, the 10 miler was added and in 2004, the 5k replaced the Derby miniMarathon. There are still runners in Louisville who have

run all three variations.

I also give kudos to the Triple Crown organizers because the series not only promotes fitness, it supports a good cause, having raised more than $1.4 million for the Crusade for Children over the years. Learn more at louisvilletriplecrown.com - hope to see you there!

Running Psychology What is “Tired”?

It might be a very strange question to ask, but just what is “tired?” How many times in a day do you here others, or yourself, say, “I'm tired?” You know what it feels like to be tired, but just exactly what leads to the sensation that we label as tired? Of course running can make you feel tired, both during and after running.

You know the feeling of fatigue late in a long workout or race. The heavy legs, the feelings that your legs simply won't move, that dull ache in your muscles, and the labored breathing are all outward signs of being fatigued or “tired.” There is also the mental struggle where your mind may be trying to tell you to stop or slowdown and you just feel mentally fuzzy, such as not being able to think clearly or experiencing strange thinking patterns and visual distortions. In other words, late in that marathon or long training you feel just plain tired.

Most of the research on fatigue in runners has centered on what is known as peripheral fatigue, or the fatigue that may occur within the muscles themselves. Low muscle glycogen leads to muscular

fatigue, lactic acid production leads to muscular fatigue, dehydration can lean to muscular fatigue. All of these causes of fatigue are pretty well established through research.

But what about the fatigue that is occurring in your central nervous system, or as it is commonly referred to, central fatigue?

The question remains, does fatigue occur in your muscles or in your brain? Is the reason your legs won't move late in a marathon due to something going on in

Presented by:

your brain and not necessarily in your muscles? The role of central fatigue and running performance has garnered more attention over the past several years.

Famous South African researcher and author, Timothy Nokes, feels central fatigue is actually the way the central nervous system protects the body from being damaged from intense physical effort. In other words, he feels the brain may actually limit our performance and, as such, fatigue can be reduced if you are prepared psychologically to deal with the sensations of fatigue. So just maybe feeling tired is a perception rather than an actual physical phenomenon.

But is there some physiological root to central fatigue and those psychological feelings of being tired? Disturbances of neurotransmitters in the brain during exercise may lead to perceptions of central fatigue. Exercise may raise brain levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin and too much serotonin is related to increased perceptions of fatigue. Long term exercise may also lower the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, which acts as a nerve stimulant, thereby increasing perceptions of fatigue as well.

Serotonin has received the most attention on its effect on fatigue. Late in a long run, such as a marathon, glycogen (carbohydrate) stores get low. In an effort to maintain blood glucose levels, some protein in our muscle tissue is actually broken down for energy. Of course protein is formed from amino acids and there are three particular amino acids that seem to be utilized the most. These three are commonly referred to as the Branched Chain Amino Acids and consist of leucine, isoleucine and valine. Well, in a nutshell, if the Branched Chain Amino Acids get low in your blood stream it allows another amino acid, tryptophan, to leave the blood and enter the brain in large amounts.

Increased tryptophan in the brain may cause more of the neurotransmitter serotonin to be produced, thereby causing increased perceptions of fatigue. (You may have heard that turkey contains tryptophan and that's why you get sleepy after eating a meal with turkey, such as on Thanksgiving!)

So if feeling tired is something central that is occurring in the brain, is there anything you can do about it, especially in running? You may not be able to totally prevent fatigue, but there are a number of things you can do to delay the onset of fatigue. From a physiological standpoint, your training actually serves to help you delay fatigue. So a sound training program can actually help you delay fatigue by serving to increase your energy stores (glycogen), increased energy system enzymes, and better energy metabolism, all of which can improve your ability to run faster for a longer period of time.

Psychologically, you can train your

mind to tolerate the stress and discomfort that comes in long-term endurance events.

If fatigue is indeed a central nervous system event, then mental training techniques such as positive self-talk, concentration training, relaxation and/or arousal training and even hypnosis can help you overcome the mental perceptions of fatigue.(See many of my previous articles on these topics). By working on your psychological strength, you will be able to understand the feedback your body is giving you and increase your ability to tolerate greater intensities and durations of running effort.

Much of the research on running fatigue is actually nutritionally focused. For example, in moderate to heavy aerobic exercise, like running, the human body burns carbohydrate as the main energy source, so glycogen storage becomes a concern. If you run out of glycogen you will begin to burn total fat and fat is much less efficient as a fuel source. When you burn fat you will have to reduce the pace of your running and you will feel more fatigued. That's exactly what hitting the wall in a marathon is! So being sure to ingest a diet with adequate carbohydrate is important. Also taking a form of carbohydrate during exercise, such as a sports drink, can help you maintain blood glucose levels and spare some muscle glycogen for latter in the run. Taking a carbohydrate source during running can also reduce your perception of central fatigue, or in other words, your running will seem easier. Maintaining blood glucose levels can also help prevent protein breakdown and the Branched Chain Amino Acid imbalances that have been hypothesized to increase brain serotonin and central fatigue.

Finally, ingesting a carbohydrate sports drink which also contains Branched Chain Amino Acids during exercise may also serve to reduce central fatigue. While the research is not totally clear, the BCAA's consumed during running may serve to keep the BCAA/tryptophan ratio in balance during running, thereby keeping brain serotonin levels lower and reducing central fatigue and the perceived difficulty of running late in an event. Research is continuing in this area, so stay tuned!

So yes, being tired is a real human condition, and while the mechanisms of fatigue are not totally understood, fatigue, or as most of us say being tired, does occur during running. But the good news is we may be able to actually reduce fatigue through mental techniques, training and nutrition. A little less tired is always a good thing in running!

Running Fitness Hospital Food Was Disturbing The last month has been a blur. The day before Halloween, my non-vegan husband suffered a heart attack and came within an hour of dying, the docs told us. The third stent didn't work and he had by-pass surgery the next day. He remained in the hospital for a month as little complications like a blocked colon and an incision that wouldn't heal kept doctors wanting him within close range.

The fascinating thing to me is how in denial he was. It took several doctors being very direct, “How many green things did you eat a day? A week? I know you were an active sailor and did projects, but how much did you walk every day?”

When he awoke from surgery, he said, “Not going through this pain again. Help me go vegan.” He has seen how for the past 10 years, a plant-based diet took me away from many health problems and has given me the energy, protein and other nutrients to enjoy running everything from 50 meters to a marathon.

One of the other not-so-publicized effects of being on the heart-lung machine is that you often lose your taste. Or every-

It's going to be a long road back. We've been told, 3, 6 or maybe 12 months to where he feels somewhat like his old self.

3-4 naps a day are the norm now. I keep track of a drug regimen that includes 12 drugs in the morning, and 4 at night. I started posting this on social media. I did videos and took still photos of hospital food. I blogged about the food. Two days after I posted it, my website www.vegcoach.com crashed.

These are your health care workers who will be operating on you. In my entire month of living and sleeping at the hospital, I did not meet one cardiologist or heart surgeon I thought was in good shape. I get that they have a busy, stressful life. But still.

And the chef of the hospital, who wrote a supposedly “heart-healthy” cookbook sent home with patients, laden with cheese and sugar, and is full of typos and major errors. The chef was introduced to us, and he was not what I would want to follow as a role model if I was recovering from heart surgery. One of the recipes had completely different instructions from the ingredients.

Twice I was told by doctors, “You know way more about food than we do. Bring your husband whatever you want.” I Some suggested that because of the ugly brought my Vitamix into the room and hospital food pix I blogged, the site might tried to improve on Ensure. have been hacked. It's still too early to know, but I have plenty of folks offering to In addition to “Paleo Vegan: Plant-based help me once the site is recovered. Suffice Primal Recipes,” Ellen Jaffe Jones is also it to say, the food pix were awful. Most the author of “Eat Vegan on $4 a Day” reactions on Facebook were, “I wouldn't and “Kitchen Divided.” She is a certified personal trainer and running coach and feed this to my dog.” Or worse.

But even more disturbing, in several can be reached at www.veg-coach.com bandwidth.” So my media friends said, “Go buy more bandwidth.” Not so simple.

My web designer was either hit by a car or ran from the planet. I eventually tracked down the hosting company, different from the company that holds my domain, and they've given the webmaster 2 days to respond. If he doesn't, then the site becomes mine and should be back online.

I didn't even know it wasn't mine. TMI and I just want to get back to writing the next great American cookbook.
