This Running Life 31st Umstead Endurance Run Features Fast Finishes Ultra-marathon running is becoming more popular year after year, but as more of my regular running buddies get a taste of the koolaid when they pace their friends loop after loop in Umstead Park's dark cold woods during the Umstead 100-Mile Endurance Run and fall to the temptation to try to claim their century belt buckle, I'm still not convinced.

Sure, it looks like fun during the daylight hours, when spirits are as high as the sun in the sky. But when the shadows grow long, and the light starts to dim, the race loses its luster for me, and I'm convinced my place is on the sidelines.

After all, races need cheerleaders too.

For a young Philadelphia runner, his venture into the woods of Umstead Park proved to be a charm.

Michael Daigeaun, 35, crushed the Umstead 100 Endurance Run in Raleigh, N.C. on March 28, finishing the race in 14:35:34. Daigeaun has made a name for himself in ultra-marathon racing, but the Umstead race was just his second 100-miler. His average pace was 8:45.

second and third place, with Lenz getting the edge, crossing the finish line in 15:13:42 followed by Mughan, who finished in 15:16:01.

Jennifer Edwards, 39 of Leavenworth, WA won the female division in17:24:16.

Jennifer Lockrem, 38 of Deland, FL finished second in 18:27:06 followed by Starshine Blackford, 39, of Columbus, OH who crossed the finish line in third place with a time of 19:13:22.

This year's 100-mile ultra-marathon men from 31 states, the District of Columbia and New South Wales, Australia, home of this year's third place finisher.

The race also offers a 50-mile option for runners who want a faster, shorter race, or who stop before completing the entire 100-mile course. This year, Jon Lawler, 51, of Knoxville, TN maintained a blistering 7:26 pace, clocking in at 6:11:40. Hal Koerner, 39, of Ashland, OR came in a close second in 6:28:09, followed by Steve Shepherd, 46, of Raleigh, NC, who was third in 7:50:56.

The top female 50-mile finisher was Erin Valocsik, 34, of Arlington, VA, who completed 50 miles in 8:33:28, followed

by Laurie Olson, 50, of Raleigh who had the second fastest 50-mile finish with 8;42:59. Three women scrambled for third place, which ended in a near photo finish. Layna Mosley, 43 of Chapel Hill, NC finished in 8:52:18 to edge Shannon Johnstone, 41 of Cary, NC, who finished in 8:53:15 and Dee Goodwin of Dalton, Ga. who finished in 8:53:49.

“I'm training really hard, doing double workouts, and eating only healthy foods. I feel full all the time-but I am losing too much weight. I don't think I could comfortably eat any more…”

“I generally eat clean - but some days I cheat and have ice cream.”

“Fruit juice is bad; it has way too much sugar! I've stopped drinking it.”

Many runners go to great extremes to eat healthfully.

Needless to say, the definition of “eating healthfully” varies from runner to runner - and can often take on a religious zeal.

“Healthy eating” tends to include these parameters: • No refined sugar, gummy candy, soda pop, sweets • No potato chips, corn chips, Cheetos, salty snacks • No doughnuts, pastries, croissants, pancakes, PopTarts • No McDonald's, Burger King, pizza, hot dogs • No cookies, desserts, birthday cake, holiday treats.

• No foods in wrappers - particularly among athletes who are “eating clean.” (Question: Are wrapped foods actually dirty?

Or is trendy terminology breeding craziness?)

While eliminating “bad” and “dirty” foods is a noble attempt to put premium nutrition into your body's engine, the questions arise: 1. Do you really need to eat a “perfect diet” to have an “excellent diet”? No 2. Does enjoying a hot dog or a candy bar once in a blue moon negate all of the “good stuff ” you generally eat? No 3. Do have to “cheat” on your birthday so you can partake in cake with your family and friends? Heavens no!

In my opinion, there is no such thing as a “bad food.” There is a bad diet, yes, as judged by looking at the whole day's intake. That is, 50 calories from refined sugar in 8-ounces of sports drink will not ruin your health. But consuming 400 calories from a half-gallon of sports drink displaces a significant number of nutrient-dense foods - as well as can ruin your teeth. (Sipping all day on sugary, acidic fluids damages tooth enamel.)

While foods with little nutritional value fail to invest in a runner's well-being and ability to withstand the demands of rigorous training, occasional “junk food” does not ruin health when eaten in moderation. You can indeed have an excellent diet without having a perfect diet.

How much “junk food” is OK to eat?

A healthful sports diet can target 85 to 90-percent of calories from quality foods and 10 to 15-percent from “whatever.”

Some days “whatever” might be blueberries and other days it might be (guilt-free) blueberry pie with ice cream. Given that you can ingest the recommended intake of all the vitamins, minerals, and protein you need within 1,500 calories from a variety of wholesome foods, a hungry runner who consumes 2,000 to 4,000 calories a day has the opportunity to consume LOTS of nutrients. For example, 8 ounces of orange juice offers 100% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for Vitamin C. A thirsty runner who chugs the whole quart can consume 4 times the RDA in that one snack. OJ is better than an all-natural vitamin pill!

But isn't fruit juice filled with sugar?

Yes, all the calories in juice come from natural sugar. This sugar fuels muscles. Vitamin C, potassium, folate, and a multitude of health-protective, anti-inflammatory bio-active compounds also come in the juice. For runners who want to eat

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

“healthy” but have trouble getting in enough calories to maintain weight, I often recommend grape, pomegranate, tart cherry, orange, and blueberry juices. (In contrast, overfat people who reduce their juice intake can easily delete some calories. For them, eating the whole fruit would be more satiating.)

Should runners try to avoid refined sugar?

Refined white sugar is a nutritional zero, void of any vitamins, minerals or protein. Yet, the calories in sugar come from carbohydrates. Muscles welcome these carbs to fuel depleted glycogen stores. Muscles don't know the difference between carbs from juice, candy, and sports drinks vs. apple, sweet potato, and banana. The difference shows up in health, immune response, and ability to fight off colds and flu.

A rule of thumb is to limit refined sugar to 10% of total calories. For most active women, that equates to 200 to 250+ calories from sugar a day. And for active men, 250 to 300+ calories. That means, an athlete could enjoy either 16-ounces of a sports drink and a gel or a few cookies - and stay within the recommended sugar-budget for the day.

Note: The sugar is evil message is targeted to the 66% of Americans who are overfat and underfit, not to runners. The muscles of runners easily take up sugar from the bloodstream with far less insulin than needed by unfit people. Hence, unfit people who sip on Big Slurpees all day easily consume excessive, health-erosive sugar-calories. They need to seriously think about their future and if they want to be vibrant and healthy enough to enjoy fun times.

Can you eat too healthfully?

Yes. Eating too many healthy foods can actually be bad for you. For example, fruits & veggies are healthy foods, but eating only fruits & veggies creates a bad diet. Eliminating all unhealthy foods is also needless. Enjoying birthday cake can be good for the soul!

Rather than categorize a food as being “bad,” please look at your whole diet to see if it is balanced. I differentiate between a diet filled with PopTarts for breakfast, Fluffer-nutters for lunch, candy bars for snacks, and sweet & sour chicken for dinner vs. the occasional PopTart tossed into a gym bag for a pre-exercise energy booster when traveling to an event. While not trendy, choosing a balanced sports diet based on moderate portions offers a sustainable, effective path that can help you eat well, run well, and feel great.

Women’s Running True Takes the Equalizer and Win at the 38th Annual Gate River Run The 38th annual Gate River Run in Jacksonville, FL, started on an unusually warm and humid day with 16,948 registered runners in the signature 15K event.

Over 50 elite women toed the line at 8:24 a.m. for their six-minute headstart over the elite men. I know the morning was quite warm as none of the elites took any cover ups to the start but went in only their racing kits. It was a super day for spectators and they were out to celebrate all of the runners. The idea of the sixminute before the men start is based on an average of times over the past 10 years and the first person, male or female to the finish line gets a $5000 equalizer bonus.

The two previous years the female winner took the bonus but this year was going to be a true challenge for the ladies.

The women went out in a very large pack and hit the mile in 5:23. The large pack held together until the ladies came off the Main Street bridge about 1 _ miles.

Amy Cragg, Kellyn Taylor, Mattie Suver, Jen Rhines, USATF Cross Country champion Laura Thweatt, Neely Spence Gracey, Juliet Bottorff and Alexi Pappas composed the pack as they hit two miles in 10:53. The eight pack held together with 16:18 at 3 and a 16:52 5K split.

The pack was down to five when previous three-time winner, Jen Rhines took a horrible fall about three and a half miles.

It appeared that her foot was clipped as the five women jockeyed for position. It is amazing that no one else went down as the leaders looked back as they heard the fall. She hit the pavement quite hard but gamely got up and continued. She had been inducted into the Gate River Run Hall of Fame on the previous Tuesday evening and I thought she would be a very serious contender. Rhines is one tough lady and although bleeding and with her number hanging by one pin, she did not give up the fight. The pack was now down to Gracey, Cragg, Thweatt and Bottorff.

Rhines and Alexi Pappas worked together to try and get back in the lead group.

But Olympian Cragg, who is in the middle of training for her Boston Marathon debut had other ideas. She had planned to make a move at five miles but when she felt the tailwind at mile four and a half , she began to gap the field adding to her lead with each and every mile. The

remaining three tried without success to make up the gap. But Cragg was just too strong. After her disappointing 20th finish in 2014 she was determined to get the win and the confidence builder.

Meanwhile the men's race played as expected as the pack held together for about three miles (15:09 5K) then Don Cabral, Girma Mecheso, Christo Landry and two-time champion Ben True left the rest of the men behind. By 10K (29:30) the pack was down to three as Mecheso, Landry and True jockeyed back and forth for the lead. and Cabral trailed by 14 seconds. With a mile to go Mecheso trailed by nine seconds and it was a two man race. Landry had told me earlier in the week that he had been practicing his kick as he knew True could kick hard.

As True and Landry headed down the Hart Bridge, Cragg could hear the lead vehicles coming up on her. She passed mile nine, but True began his kick when he had Cragg in his sights and he literally blew by her at 9.1 miles on the way to his

third Gate title. Interestingly Cragg and Landro battled for second place and both True and Cragg took the additional $1000 bonus for running the fastest last mile.

True got it done in 4:08 whilc Cragg did 5 minutes flat! Landro did get the best of Cragg but pushed her enough so she snagged the bonus.

True joins an exclusive club etching his name into Gate racing history with two other three time winners, Todd Williams (1994-1996) and Meb Keflezighi (20012004). The recently married 29-year -old from Hanover, NH, stated "It's great. It was a fun race and it's nice to escape the New England winters. I'm fairly confident in my closing speed, so I knew it was probably going to help me out. Mecheso was throwing some great surges and I was enjoying it because I was feeling I could cover most of them pretty easily and it was slowly breaking us away from the main pack. It was just trying to play my cards right and make sure I was there in the end." Despite trying to prepare for True's kick, Landry said "True had about three more gears than I did going into the last 400 right off the bridge." When True started kicking it was definitely a magnificent sight.

Cragg had a 26-second lead when she approached the "green Monster" Hart Bridge while Thweatt and Gracey dropped Bottoroff going onto the bridge approach. Cragg, the 2012 Olympian at 10,000 meters did hear footsteps

approaching as she started down the bridge but when the steps did not close quickly she thought it could be another woman. She ran hard all the way to the finish to be sure she had the win which she did by 32 seconds."It was tough. With the wind and the heat and humidity, I knew it was going to be a bit slower today.

It felt more like a half marathon effort than a 15K," stated Cragg at the finish."This is a great confidence builder for Boston and a great win" said the 31 year old from Providence, RI. Mecheso was 3rd (44:28) behind Landry (44:14) and True (44:03). Thweatt (50:50) outkicked Gracey (50:50 ) for second while Cragg took the win in 50:18.

Jen Rhines held the place she had when she got up from her fall, finishing first master and sixth overall in 51:36.

This year the 15K had a record number of teams contending for the Tenbroeck Cup. Eight women's teams and seven men's teams competed with the top three team members scoring. The U.S. Army WCAP team took the men's title while the Boston Athletic Association took the ladies win. Congratulations to elite recruiter Richard Fannin for putting together a stellar group of 65 men and 65 women to compete for the USATF 15K title. The heat adjusted Gate River Run 2015 was the deepest field in the race's history as 57 men broke 50 minutes and 62 men finished ahead of Cragg's winning time which was also the most ever.

Despite there being numerous other events on this weekend including the USATF Marathon Championships in Los Angeles, Fannin continues to attract the best road racers in the country.

Race director Doug Alred said the heat contributed to more action in the medical tent. But all of the treated runners were expected to recover. The slight decrease in the 15K numbers was offset by an increase in the supporting events like the Florida Times-Union 5K and the Brooks Rehabilitation Challenge Mile. See results of the race in the race results section in this issue.

Distance Memories Running Dead Ultra – and Serving Nature There are plenty of reasons Cindy and I decided to move to the country last year. Tranquility, peace and quiet and starry, starry nights are just the tips of the iceberg we now call home: Senoia, Georgia.

It's no secret that the beautiful and scenic country roads had quite the influence on me as well. Words can't express how much I love running on wide open, rolling asphalt roads weaving through the pastures, woods and lakes in the still of a quiet and lazy morning in the country.

It's also no secret (to most, anyway) that Senoia, Georgia is also home of the hit television show The Walking Dead. I first started running in Senoia several years ago; it was the spring of 2012, to be exact. I had always heard how beautiful the area was and I wanted to see for myself … with one goal in mind: If it was as beautiful as I was led to believe, I wanted to establish a race - The Running Dead Ultra, it would be called-that meandered through Senoia and took in many of the sites used in the production of the show.

The first Running Dead Ultra was held on the country roads of Senoia the very next year. The year after that Cindy and I moved there.

The third Running Dead Ultra will be held soon. As a way of giving back to the community, I thought it might be appropriate to spend some time picking up trash along the sides of one of the roads on which the race would be held. I selected one of my personal favorites, Dead Oak. Fans of The Walking Dead might recognize Dead Oak as the road many of the 'driving-in-the-car scenes' are filmed. I recognize it as my absolute favorite country road to run.

Last weekend I asked my grandson if he wanted to spend some time picking up trash with me when he visited the following weekend. He didn't hesitate: Yes! I wouldn't have expected anything less from a boy who loves being at Cindy's store (he has a knack for charming his customers; yes, his customers) and spending time with me at my 'workhouse' (he has a knack for eating the sweets my admin gives him).

So this fine Saturday morning I asked Krischan if he remembered what we would be doing today. He certainly did: 'We're picking up trash on the side of the road. Can we go to McDonald's when we're finished?' The question you can't say 'no' to, right?

So I grabbed a couple of large black plastic trash bags, Krischan grabbed his plastic knife and gun to fight any zombies we might run into and we hopped in the truck and headed over to Dead Oak Road.

We spent the next couple of hours picking up every piece of trash we could find along a one-mile stretch of country road. Well, actually Krischan did the picking while I held the bag. Krischan was a real trooper, making sure he got every single beer bottle, paper cup and potato chip bag he ran across into our large black plastic bag.

And I use the word 'ran' in the literal sense: If I didn't know better I would have sworn Krischan was on an Easter egg hunt. In his mind every piece of trash was pure gold. He was running up embankments to get his hands on a plastic cup lid, then sliding back down on his fanny after losing his footing on the slippery pine needles. He was throwing caution to the wind reaching into sharp, prickly vegetation to get his hands on a candy bar wrapper. He was-after looking both ways for oncoming traffic, of course (we only saw one car all afternoon; more on that in a moment) - darting back and forth across the road, as he didn't want to miss inspecting everything and anything that wasn't green.

By Scott Ludwig

Every time we ran across two or three beer bottles or soda cans in close proximity Krischan said it looked like 'somebody had a party here.' I asked him who would have a party on the side of the road. Without hesitation he replied: 'Party dudes.' I looked at him and asked, 'Seriously, party dudes?'

Doubting himself and replying with more of a question than a statement, he said 'Party poopers?'

This led to my explanation of what constituted a 'litter bug' and Krischan, never at a loss for questions, asked who would do such a bad thing to nature. I asked him what he learned in kindergarten about nature. He replied: 'Nature is beautiful.' I told him he was right, but every now and then nature needed a helping hand.

Back to that one car we saw while we were picking up trash. An elderly woman was driving by and stopped once she came upon us. She asked if 'the blue truck a ways back' was ours. I told her it was. She told us how much she appreciated what Krischan and I were doing. I told her I appreciated her saying that while Krischan was busy diving into a ditch to retrieve an empty plastic gallon milk jug. I don't think I could have been prouder of my grandson than I was at that very moment. As I write these words the memory of that moment still warms my heart: The pride of being a grandparent, no doubt.

Once Krischan and I secured every single piece of garbage, trash and litter we could lay our eyes and Krischan could get his hands on, we threw it all in the back of our truck and headed east on Dead Oak for our much-deserved lunch.

About two miles down the road we saw an elderly woman picking up trash that had brushed up against a fence along the side of the road. It was the same woman who had stopped to thank us earlier. I believe the woman lives on the horse farm the fence surrounds and that maybe picking up trash was something she does on a regular basis.

Then again, maybe she was simply inspired by a little boy three generations her junior.

Postscript: My friend Valerie and I ran on Dead Oak Road the very next morning. The one-mile stretch that Krischan and I spent our Saturday afternoon removing trash was noticeably more 'natural' than the rest of the road. With Krischan by my side, I hope to keep it that way.

Oldest New York City Marathon Finisher in 2014 Shares Her Story

Inspired Daily

By Margaret Hagerty

Invincible? The Injury: Part 1

After reading Lena Holman's article in the March edition about the New York City Marathon I wanted to share that I did the marathon on November 2, 2014.

Of approximately 50,380 participants, I was the overall oldest finisher at age 91.

Although I had not done a marathon in over 10years and had not been training quite that distance, when the race director called and invited me I eagerly took advantage of the opportunity to do New York again.

My first question was, "What is the time limit?" I had been doing half marathons so I was reasonably sure I could go 15 to 17 miles and enjoy being in New York. When my friend Susan Schneider of Louisville, KY, said she would walk, jog, or nursing home shuffle it with me, the deal was done. The reason I had not done a marathon in 10 years was because my last one in 2004 in Australia was painful. I waited for the New York pain to kick in - it never did. I actually had a pleasant marathon because my goal was to finish and I maintained a very slow pace.

I received two awards -- rock cut crystal 12-inch platters crafted by Tiffany, the Gwendolyn Clark Memorial Award which is presented to the oldest female finisher and the 90-99 female age group winner. This was my second New York City and my 8lst marathon. Who knows? I might have another one in me

at age 92. The New York Road Runners, the race director, and staff are wonderful, caring people who work hard to put on a first class race. I agree with Lena, you haven't lived if you haven't run the New York City Marathon.

Margaret Hagerty lives and runs in Concord, NC.

Your training is going really well. Your race times are faster than they have been in years. You have a hiccup like a not-sogreat marathon due to poorly timed cold or flu. Then once you are healthy and back to training for the next one you start to feel invincible. You decide to hop in a local 5K just to see what kind of shape you're really in…

A quick Google search results in this definition of invincible: too powerful to be defeated or overcome. As all runners know, we are human, we make mistakes, our bodies can only handle so much stress, and we can be defeated. And I am not referring to being beaten by a competitor in a race. I mean defeated by our own bad decisions.

My defeat happened Jan. 10 of this year and it was an emotional rollercoaster to say the least. I decided to race a 5K two weeks before the Celebration Marathon, which was to be my redemption marathon after trying to run Space Coast Marathon while sick. The Dolphin Dash is a great community 5K on Anna Maria Island that I have supported for years but never raced.

It was cold and windy but I did a nice, long warm up and felt ready. I hardly ever race the 5K distance anymore because I don't like feeling uncomfortable from start

to finish yet I had this need to “test my fitness.” Halfway through the race I felt a sharp pain high up in my hamstring and still managed to finish second overall female and set a new Masters course record. Excited about setting the new record but upset because I knew this pain was worse than any of the hamstring pain I experienced last year.

For the next week and a half I struggled through my marathon training plan as best I could. I made it to the last Tuesday track workout before the marathon but was unable to hit any of my goal times. I was unable to run any faster. That session ended in tears and a call to the sports medicine doctor. After seeing him, we determined I would not run the Celebration Marathon that weekend but immediately start resting, healing, and doing physical therapy in hopes of salvaging Boston. The MRI showed a partial tear, edema, and degeneration at the hamstring attachment.

I still had hopes I might run Boston!

Nine weeks later, still resting, still cross training, still doing PT, and I just had to ask my physical therapist if I could test it out on a short run. Ten weeks after the start of my official rest period, I have run a half mile each day for six days in a row.

Baby steps! I have a lot of work to do both stretching and strengthening. I will not be running the Boston Marathon this year but am excited to watch it live from the finish line with my husband. He is such an amazing supporter of all my crazy running adventures and so very wise. Just today he told me that perhaps this all happened for a reason so I could learn and grow as a runner and coach, so that I could correct weaknesses and imbalances now so I can run competitively and injury free for the rest of my life. Let's hope so because clearly I am not invincible.

Running Through the Bluegrass Finishing Vital, Goals Are Important to Meet Some races just aren't your day. This year's second leg of the Louisville Triple Crown of Running, the Rodes City Run, wasn't mine. But it was Asia Ford's.

Ford, 35, was in last place. Some 6,300 other runners and walkers were ahead of her. Behind her, just the vehicles noting the end of participants. Not the place you want to be. But for Ford, being there at all was enough.

Ford has lost more than 200 pounds in the past two years, down from 474 pounds. As she walked with her son, she began to feel sick around mile 4.

Louisville Metro Police Lt. Aubrey Gregory noticed Ford was struggling.

He checked on her, and Ford said she was determined to finish. They ended up walking the last 2 miles hand-in-hand.

Lt. Gregory said he got goose bumps watching Asia raise her hands as she crossed the finish line. “There aren't words to express the way I felt seeing her be successful."

As runners, we've all seen the mantra: “DFL > DNF > DNS.” While Ford may have been the last finisher, there's an awful lot of people who didn't finish, and even more who didn't start.

She said it best herself on Facebook: "WE MADE IT!!! This 6.2 miles meant more to me than any race ever so my message today is, You don't have to be 1st, AS LONG AS U DON'T GIVE UP AND U FINISH...YOU ARE A WINNER ( :" I'm taking Ford's to heart. I didn't have

the race I wanted. I struggled. But I finished.

Coming into the Rodes City Run, I was thinking of the Anthem 5K and my solid 10K PR last summer. Another PR wasn't in the cards, but as one of my New Balance Louisville teammates said, “Don't let one race get you down."

This race was a bit of a bummer because two weeks before, in the first leg of the Triple Crown, I ran a PR in the Anthem 5k. I had adjusted my goal for that race several times, wiith some training snags due to 20" of snow right before the race. I had gone from 19:03 to 19:10 to "anything faster than last summer" (19:22). In the end, I ran 19:01, good for a new personal best and 10th female in the city's biggest 5K. There were a lot of factors, I suspect, that contributed to not running as I had hoped. In hindsight, we think these issues may be allergy-related and I am headed back to the doctor on that topic.

The series wrapped up Easter weekend (also known as Final Four Weekend

here in Kentucky) with the 15th anniversary of the Papa John's 10 Miler. It's rated as one of the country's best 10 milers -- not that it's a bad race, but I'm not sure there's a lot of competition.

PJ10 used to be a major training race for the upcoming Derby Festival MiniMarathon, held a few weeks later and also looping through the hellacious hills of Iroquois Park. Now the mini foregoes the park, which almost gives PJ10 a little bit of the glory back. Sure, you ran fast at the mini -- but did you survive the 10 miler?

After my less-than-stellar 10K performance, I came into PJ10 with a trio of goals. Goal A - 65 minutes, my McMillan Calculator projection. Goal B - sub-70. Goal C - goal marathon pace (70:30). I was also running the race as a 16-mile long run, so I tacked on an easy 3 miles before.

The hills kicked my butt. However, I went out conservatively and didn't blow up too much. I ran 68:51, on the higher side of my goal, but nothing disastrous happened and it is still a 5 minute-plus PR at the distance. (Easy to set when it's only your fifth attempt.)

Summary: I didn't hit my goals in all three Triple Crown Races. However, I PR'd in two distances and helped our New Balance Louisville women's team win the Team Challenge.

The Louisville Triple Crown is a staple in our local running community -the original series configuration launched in 1984. A couple of races and distances have changed over the year, but it is still a huge draw for runners and walkers in the city.

One of the best things about the Triple Crown is the reunion atmosphere. That who's-who draw means you cross the finish line surrounded by other runners you know, but that you may not have seen since the fall racing season ended.

There's lots of high fives, jesting and goodwill.

THIS RUNNING LIFE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 March 28 at the Camp Lapahio headquarters in the heart of Umstead Park and ended at the same location at noon on Sunday, March 29. Runners attempted to run the 100-mile looped course in 30 hours or less. Last year, the male winner was John Dennis, 33 of Maryland, who completed the race in 13:41:07. The female winner was Liza Howard, 42, of Texas, who finished in 15:07:39.

The Umstead Ultra Marathon traces its humble beginnings back to 1974 as a training run before ultra marathons had grown in popularity. Two Raleigh runners - Blake Norwood and Tom Newnam had registered for the Hardrock 100 Endurance Run in Silverton, CO and needed a long training run. Intending to run 150 miles, the duo obtained permission from the Umstead Park rangers to stay in the park and run for two nights, with their friend, Jerry Dudek serving as their crew. But after they completed 100 miles in less than 24 hours, they called it a day.

Later that summer, Norwood, Newnam and Dudek hatched a plan to develop a 100-mile ultra-marathon at Umstead and made good on that plan in spring 1975.

And every year since, with Norwood serving as race director, they have made good on their promise to conduct a quality, runner-oriented event, to encourage ultra-running in North Carolina, especially the Triangle area, and to produce a race that offers first-time hundred milers a reasonable chance of success.

Norwood died last fall, but had passed on the Umstead reins to Rhonda Hampton, who served as race director for this year's event and for future Umstead races.

Fast facts about the 2015 Umstead 100 Endurance Run: Total number of runners: 291 Number of runners in their 70s: 9 including the oldest runner: Walt Esser, 76, Cary, NC. Number of runners in their 20s: 9 including the youngest runner: Josh Belin, 23, Potomac Falls, Va. Number of women: 101 Number of men: 190 Teri Saylor lives, writes and runs (but not 100-miles) in Raleigh, N.C. Reach her at terisaylor@hotmail.com

Down the Road 5,000 Sets Of Race Results Have you run a lot of races? Do you look at the results of races that you have run? Can you find them? Do you save them? I do. In fact I've now saved 5,018 sets of race results (adding more every weekend) even though I've only run 785 races. I have the results of every Cooper River Bridge Run -- in fact with separate Chip and Gun time finish order lists for recent years. I'm trying to get the results of every race ever held in South Carolina and it is a massive project. Want a copy of the disc with all the results I have? Just send me an e-mail requesting results and I'll gladly send you one -- free of charge.

I think every race should provide or post a complete set of race results so that everyone who ran the race can see them and download them. It doesn't always work out that way and sometimes the results can best be described as pitiful, to be kind. Today I was looking at the results of a race with 97 finishers. The race did not have a finish place for the runners. It had what I think was the race or bib number and the runners' names. That is it. Not even the gender or time. A perfect example of pitiful inadequate results. If it is race, there had to be times, but you wouldn't know that if you look at the results.

So what should be on results for them to qualify as good results? Who decides and why do race directors and finish line services not always provide good results?

You'll have to ask them.

I have a copy of the USATF letter listing all the items considered critical and will be glad to send a copy of it to anyone who requests it by e-mail at JaggersRun@Comporium.Net., but we'll summarize here with just the eight REQUIRED ITEMS: 1 Place 2 First name 3 Last name 4 Age (as of the day of the race) 5 Gender (M/F) 6 Official finish time (i.e. gun time) note the next field is not required but it says: Net (Chip) time if applicable, the official time is the “gun time” even if “chip” scoring was used. If chip scoring was used, please include - both gun and chip

time in their respective fields. (Of course results should be ordered in gun time finish order. CJ) 7 Hometown 8 State These are all items, except #6, that every finish line service should obtain on the entry form, so they can easily look them up and add them before posting the results. As you can see, USATF requires 8 items, so results really can't be considered as good results unless they have all these 8 items on them.

There are several other items that I think should be on every set of race results. You may or may not agree: 9 Full race name, along with the date the race was held and the city and state where it was held 10 Edition of the race, example Inaugural (most 1st Annual races end up being the only annual), 2nd, 11th , 38th etc.

11 USATF certified course # or statement that course is uncertified.

So there you have it. The things that should be on every set of race results. But most race results are missing some of the items. The fewer items included, the poorer the results.

Can we hope that all race directors and finish line services will see or be given a copy of this article? We'll I'm hoping it will happen and that every race will provide or post results with all these things on them. What do you think?

Vegan Becoming Mainstream

Crewing is Harder than Running

One of the best health events in the US is appropriately named, “Healthfest.” This was the fourth year, generously underwritten by a grateful mayor who reversed his own prostate cancer. Marshall, Texas Mayor Ed Smith discovered that a plantbased diet was one of the best kept secrets in America. Why? Because most doctors do not get a single nutrition class in medical school.

Ed and his wife, Amanda, decided to pay for speakers to come to their town of Marshall, to help the whole town, and anyone else who wanted to fly in, be vegan for an entire weekend. The restaurants went vegan and close to 600 people flew in to hear what the Healthfest website calls “17 of the most influential and sought-after speakers and athletes in the world.” I was humbled to be asked to be part of the event two years ago. Continuing to maintain my running accomplishments, most recently 1st in the Florida Senior Games in the W60-64 age group in everything from the 50 to 1500 meters helped to get me an invite this year.

My publisher's table, along with other vendors, was in the main room. Unlike most of the other Vegfests and other events where I speak, this time I got to hear other speakers. The legendary Rich Roll, author of “Finding Ultra” spoke about his journey from alcoholism and a burned out legal career to mega ultra star. Three doctors, including the medical director of Cook County (Chicago), urologist Dr. Terry Mason kept everyone spellbound with his talk, “It Has Nothing To Do With The Penis.” He talked about how all blood vessels are connected, and like every other doctor who spoke, how so many diseases could be stopped cold, reversed and prevented by a whole foods vegan diet. He said that while surgeries may help alleviate problems, they never address or cure the problem.

He closed his talk with an audiencegasping video of the actual penile implant surgery that some doctors used to perform.

The video left nothing to the imagination.

He echoed what I said in my talk on my book “Kitchen Divided” when I showed my non-vegan husband's recent heart attack surgery photos. We both said, “A vegan diet complicated or difficult? This surgery is difficult!” If everyone with the diagnosis of a preventable disease had to watch these surgeries, perhaps they might give a diet change a chance before undergoing the knife.

Dr. Garth Davis, a leader in bariatric medicine, frequently lectures on the benefits of a plant-based diet. He spoke on “Proteinaholics - Our Addiction with

I had the opportunity to crew at the Umstead 100 this year. Never have I been as inept. I have run races, helped at races, and directed races. All of those things have been easy. I had never been responsible for taking care of everything for a runner so they could maximize their performance.

My runner finished and I learned a lot. I could have been better.

I love the Umstead 100, have finished it seven times (twice being the last finisher), and been on site pacing and/or helping three other times. It is a run that is as much fun to be at as to run. Late last year Blake Norwood, who co-founded and directed the race for 20 years, died suddenly. He had already named, and trained a successor, and knew the race would be in the capable hands of long-time volunteer and assistant Rhonda Hampton. Rhonda did well, even cycling the course as Blake used to do.

During the race when complimented on how well she was doing, she remarked. “I expected to have Blake watching over my shoulder.” Her trial by fire went well, as Blake knew it would should it need to.

My trial by fire did not go as well. I had countless items to have my runner eat and drink. I seldom thought outside the box… err cooler. I relied on standbys. I found a can opener one time, and a can that needed to be opened at another, but never at the same time. I had food to prepare, but it seemed every time my runner appeared I was surprised, and relied on items that were quick and easy. Unfortunately they were not always inspiring. My shortcomings where made up for to a tremendous degree by the volunteers at the aid stations, particularly at Aid Station 2 on the backside of the course. My runner and others commented about the great aid rendered at the station that was far from the start/finish and the hordes of people on hand there to help.

I took pictures, perhaps to the detriment of my crewing duties, I answered runner's questions, I gave advice and I observed the race. It is amazing how time flies even when not running. Before I knew it my runner had finished three laps and was due shortly for the completion of four, 50 miles. At that point I could become a pacer.

I would get to spend 50 miles on the course -- and crew.

That was a decision I had made months earlier, when an attempt to run and crew/pace failed miserably. I decided that at Umstead the entire effort would be on getting one runner to the finish line rather than two. When Blake died I realized that helping someone at this race, where he had helped so many through the years, was the best way to honor his memory.

Before the race I expected the first 50

Protein,” and said that the protein in plants is more than adequate for athlete needs.

He quoted research that shows too much protein causes diabetes. He also spoke on “Genes Are Not Your Destiny,” citing research that shows genes are turned on and off by many environmental influences.

Cardiologist, Dr. Robert Osfeld, got his MD at Yale, his masters, medical and cardiac training at Harvard. He has won multiple teaching awards, speaks nationally about cardiac health and passionately spoke about the benefits of a whole food plant-based diet. He told me that my Facebook page posts inspired him to run more.

Each doctor emphatically said that it is meat that causes heart disease and diabetes, and many other diseases and conditions as well. Every athlete, including me, raved about the anti-inflammatory qualities of a vegan diet which significantly reduces delayed onset muscle soreness and speeds recovery.

As if this wasn't enough, Sunday morning, the event has a 5K. I made a point of doing the first half mile as the overall female, keeping up with Rich and few other fast boys, just to show that I could. I love the idea of showing the world that vegans can run “keep up.” So many at mainstream races tell me you can't. All the vegan athlete speakers echoed my observations that vegan athletes recover faster and in ways that meat-eaters do not. I am sure hoping we will be studied. But since there's no money in broccoli, as I often say, I am not holding my breath.

Another speaker, Gene Baur, president of the Farm Sanctuary, disclosed that he is scheduled to be a guest on the Daily Show, in part because host John Stewart's wife is vegan. Vegan is becoming so mainstream.

It is really exciting to be a part of the tide of doctors and others who say it's time for truth!

miles to take around 12 hours. At the start of the fourth loop I expected 11:40. When she came in at 11:23 (a 20 minute PR) I was pleasantly surprised, and under prepared. We did the best we could and set out on loop five. That loop went well, as did the first half of loop six. Despite a cold night with temperatures below freezing, my runner stayed strong. The second half of loop six, ending at 75 miles, fatigue was setting in and we stopped for a pre-planned rest. Two hours later, with a bit of sleep and a bit of food we were off again.

Back on course we had seven hours, forty minutes to complete 25 miles. I did the math and we needed 18:24 per mile to get to the finish line on time. However, there was a cutoff at 8 a.m. to begin the final loop. I assured my runner that we could finish over cutoff, and as long as we finished the whole run before noon the finish would count. She did not want that. She wanted to make the cutoff. I redid the math. We needed to finish 12.5 miles in 3:40 -- 17:36 per mile. She put her head down and went to work. I continued my moving crew job by keeping calories going in. She finished the loop shortly after 7:57.

We now had 4 hours two minutes for the last mile, 19:20 per mile pace, for a tired runner who had just pushed a lap in 3:37.

Additionally her ankle was hurting and swollen. I recomputed every mile. I was OK with 29:59:59. She wanted to finish.

Shortly after beginning the last lap we were passed by another runner. We thought it would be between these two for last.

Shortly after we saw another runner, who had begun the last lap just after 26 hours. She and her pacer were determined to finish by 30 hours. With 3 miles to go these three runners (and their pacers) were within a minute of each other. They remained close with slight ebbs and flows, and occasional passes being made until the end when the runners were still separated by less than 2 minutes the final two by 34 seconds.

We had made it. I think my pacing was better than my crewing. But as with any aspect of ultra-running, there is always room for improvement.

Running Through the Age Groups Really Want a Change of Pace? Volunteer at a Race!

Whew! What a whirlwind of fun running 2015 has already shown me! The year began with a bang at the Charleston Half Marathon. I followed that with some interesting challenges, one being the Uwharrie Trail Eight Mile race close to Asheboro, NC. An absolutely wonderful experience, and one I've marked off my bucket list. It's a must-do for any runner wanting to experience a break from the roads and the incredible challenge posed by technical trail running.

Then I ran the BFF “Double-Bling,” 5K-10K double in Myrtle Beach. This was an organized and friendly event comprising a 5K followed by a 10K that started roughly an hour after the 5K finish. I was thrilled with my races that day, clocking huge “comeback PR's” in both distances. I drove straight home to an antique car show in Wilmington that afternoon, and I must have overdone it because I came down with strep throat the following week. Undaunted, I ran another 10K race the very next weekend. Okay…all this background to say, “Time to slow down and give back for once; and give that body a break!”

Fast-forward to the weekend of March 21-22 when the Quintiles Wrightsville Beach Marathon and Half Marathon, our area's largest race, took place. This race is directed by my coach, Tom Clifford. It has grown exponentially since its inception and has earned a reputation as an excellent Boston-qualifier. It is well-organized with 5K/1-Mile events on Saturday evening, followed by the main events Sunday morning. It includes a downhome expo under a tent, a pasta dinner with featured celebrity athlete speakers, pace groups, an awesome after-party, and lots of fun bling to boot.

I usually run in this race; in fact, last year, I ran the mile, 5K and Half Marathon. This year, however, I wanted a break from racing but still wanted to be involved, so I volunteered for packet pickup and course direction. Excited about the opportunity to both give back and see the race from a different perspective, I could not wipe the silly grin off my face as I arrived at the pre-race volunteer instructional meeting before the race. The first thing I noted was … these people are organized, and they run a tight ship! This is an absolute must in a race like this; it requires the coordination of race directors, assistants, timing companies, vendors, volunteers, law enforcement, and even the Coast Guard (to ensure that the

drawbridge would remain closed for the runners). I can imagine why race director positions for events like the New York and Boston Marathons, and Cooper River Bridge 10K, are fulltime, year-round careers! The meeting both humbled and made me a bit nervous about directing runners at a crucial portion of the course.

I was just as excited and nervous as if I had been planning to run the race!

As race weekend approached, my excitement grew along with that of my many teammates who were planning to run with every possible goal one could imagine. The weather was going to be cool and cloudy - absolutely perfect for marathon runners!

On Saturday, I arrived mid-afternoon for packet-pickup duty. I was placed at the first table, checking in marathoners. What I quickly learned was that this made me “de-facto Information clerk.” I got questions ranging from what to do if a runner wanted to switch distances, requests for directions to the start, to what on earth could I do to keep the children's bounce house from popping since someone had dropped a safety-pin in it! My exciting three-hour stint flew by as there was never a dull moment, and the evening was punctuated by the exciting finish of the companion 5K race.

I was tempted to hang around and party with my buddies, but I knew the next morning would be an early one and that I would really need to be on my toes, so I headed home for a nice dinner and good night's sleep. Upon waking the next morning at 5 a.m., I threw on my clothes, fixed my coffee to-go and had a quick yogurt. I needed energy for what was sure to be a long day! We were instructed to be at our posts no later than 6 a.m. The race started at 6:45 but allowed a slower group to start at 6:15 so they could make the cutoff times. This entailed early road-closings all over the course.

I arrived at my post just in time; I was stationed at the turn into the final half-

see these talented, well-trained athletes looking so strong and efficient in the last half miles of their respective races. Wow! I so appreciated all the smiles, cheers and “Thank-You's” from runners of all levels.

I enjoyed seeing my friends - some of them three times - as they progressed toward realizing their dreams. It was great fun to cheer everyone on with my megaphone. I was awestruck by the determination of the middle-to-back-of-the-pack marathoners. They were on the course close to five hours; I can't imagine doing anything that long - not even eating chocolate! I was so unbelievably tired and sore from standing for six hours and holding that megaphone (which felt like at least ten pounds) the whole time; my muscles were achier than after my last half marathon! I had to take two days off from running.

To those of you who've volunteered or directed races, kudos to you! You do the racers an invaluable service, and even if we don't show it sometimes, we appreciate all you do. Runners, please take the time to thank the volunteers when possible; they appreciate this so much. For those of you who haven't volunteered yet, please give it a whirl; it gives you a wonderful sense of giving back to and being part of the sport and other lessons, experiences and memories to last a lifetime.

Happy running … and happy volunteering!

mile for both races. Fortunately, I had a flashlight because it was really dark during the half-mile hike from where I parked to my post. I met a friendly Sheriff's Deputy who entertained me until the Volunteer Boss arrived, equipped me with a megaphone and gave me further instructions. This part was confusing, as runners were to first pass straight through the intersection, then on a second lap the marathoners would go straight through again but the half marathoners would turn left to finish. The marathoners would then arrive a third time for their turn to the finish.

Well, I thought I had this all down until the leaders began flying through, and I thinking I was supposed to direct them between one set of cones - actually pointed them right into the one lane open for vehicle traffic! Thank God my Deputy friend was able to correct me quickly, and no one got hurt. Thankfully, that would be my only mistake for the day.

As the race wore on, I found I was truly enjoying myself, admiring the incredible form, strength and determination of the lead runners in both the half and full Mary Margaret can be reached at marathons. It was quite inspirational to mmmceachern@bellsouth.net

Learning from the Young Guns The Mind is the Athlete All those who attend a ZAP Fitness Adult Running Camp leave with a T-shirt donning the phrase “The Mind is the Athlete” on the back. The phrase comes By courtesy of ZAP co-founder Andy Palmer and stems from his background as a sport Ryan Warrenburg, ZAP Fitness psychologist. All runners seem to acknowledge the importance of the mental side of running, but most dismiss that truth when it applies to them. It's as if the theory of mental training is important, but the practical application is always for some- tend to ignore the mental side of training one else to work on. The reason people is it's easier to implement physical change. It's quantifiable, easy to see, and can be implemented on your run this afternoon. Changing our mentality takes much more time and effort, and because the physical and mental are inextricably linked, the opportunity to ignore the mental side and confine our attention solely SUMMER 2015 CAMP DATES: on the physical side always exists.

The linkage between the mental and physical components isn't a simple cause and effect relationship, that misconception is another way people dismiss the mental side of training. It would be naïve to tell someone the mental side impacts the physical side of training but not the other way around, yet this is how most people view the mental side. Generally, when you are in great shape you have more confidence standing on the start line. If you truly believe in yourself you stand a better chance of racing well, but confidence alone doesn't get you to the finish line. If you've ever played a game of pickup basketball you know what I'm talking about: the guy who believes he's the Michael Jordan of YMCA basketball.

Every time he gets an inch of space he's shooting the ball. Every time. He may only make 10% of his shots, but it's not for lack of confidence; he truly believes

all those shots are going in when he lets them go. He's got the mental side down, but he's lacking a bit in the physical department.

In the book Elite Minds, author Stan Beecham discusses the importance of expectation. To me this is the critical component of the mind-body connection in running. The very best athletes stand on the start line expecting to win. They don't hope to win; they expect to win.

Obviously not everyone can win the race, but only when you expect to win do you get the best out of yourself. Now if you're running the New York City marathon chances are you're not going to win, and it won't help you to believe you will. As Stan puts it, “you're not trying to be the winner, you're trying to be a winner.” The trouble with this concept is most people don't practice this mentality. If they do it at all it is generally in an attempt to work up some confidence the morning of the race. And while the thought of confidence is there, the belief may not be. As Stan explains, thoughts are conscious while beliefs are the unconscious truths we hold about ourselves.

As a coach I've been guilty of fostering thoughts rather than beliefs. Before every big race I talk to the people I coach about going to the start line with confidence, I tell them to look back at all the hard training they've done in preparation. If the training has gone well then those thoughts can more easily create a belief in success, but that is the easy and less effective scenario. It doesn't mean there's no value in it, most runners would benefit greatly by just being able to calm the nerves of selfdoubt that swirl around their head the night before or the day of a race. However, creating a belief system and expectation

for success runs much deeper than that, and will put you in a better position on race day.

In order to create an environment that optimizes your chance for success that expectation must exist well before you are standing on the starting line. The expectation that you are going to succeed should be with you every day from the start of training. As Stan points out, that belief might start as a thought, but that's the first step to changing an existing belief system. If you train with the expectation of success every day you will create a belief system built around that expectation, and elevating your daily expectation will elevate your end result. Train for what you will do on race day, not what you want to do or what you hope to do. It can be an uncomfortable thought. Having expectation makes you vulnerable to failure, and the fear of failure often overrides the belief required to be your best.

Being uncomfortable, however, is what distance running is all about. Whether it's the uncomfortable notion of facing fear right in the face or the uncomfortable feeling of pushing hard through the middle of a race. You could insert any number of “real world” analogies here, but I digress. My college coach always told us to “embrace the pain.” The last time Stan spoke to our ZAP elite runners he challenged them to embrace the pain. It's natural to wish away the pain in the middle of a race or workout when it gets difficult.

However, as Stan writes, “If you are wishing away the pain, you are also wishing away the thing that's going to make you better. Pain is the desired state.”

Embracing the uncomfortable and creating a belief system of expecting success are two of many mental tools you can use to help improve your physical performance. You don't have to rely on your physical progress to pull your confidence along, and teasing out the difference between the physical and mental is as difficult as it is futile. Rather than thinking about them as two distinctly different things, view them as one. After all, the mind is the athlete.

Choosing Life's Course

Why I Keep Running

By Lou Galli "You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement."- Steve Prefontaine I love running. For me it started as a way to lose weight but soon morphed into a search for fitness and a healthy lifestyle. Then I started racing, mostly 5Ks at first but peer pressure finally got me to challenge the marathon distance.

Didn't like it! I kept running though, logging more and more miles each week. Then as I got older all the miles started taking a toll on my body so I tried triathlon. Loved it!

Did a bunch of them and the different types of training actually reduced the pounding on my body and I felt better for a while.

But last year I felt the call of running again and thought about how much I missed road racing and just being able to lace up a pair of running shoes and head out the door each morning and head into the sunrise. I missed setting goals and planning a sane and consistent training plan that would keep me healthy but allow me to achieve some over 65 running PRs. I was of course getting slower as I aged but I still wanted that feeling at the end of a road race that you get from knowing you didn't win but you gave a good account of yourself and didn't quit. I still felt the need for that challenge that only training to meet a goal gives you.

Running got me through 30 years of corporate stress and craziness and there were many mornings when during my early morning run the answer to a particularly pesky problem suddenly came into focus and made me anxious to get to work to impress my boss. The solitude and relaxation that comes on a predawn run seems to clear your mind and renew the spirit that can get dragged down by life pressures.

Now I race mostly 5K or 10K with an occasional longer distance. I don't have high expectations these days, I just take what my body gives me on that given day.

Sometimes I'm king of the world and sometimes not so much. As I stand at the starting line waiting for the gun to go off I am struck by how inclusive a sport running is. Even though I stand there with this old wrinkled body and graying hair no one thinks it's foolish for me to race that day. No one (except perhaps my wife) says look at that old fool thinking he can do this. It just seems as natural to all of my fellow runners as it is for them to be there.

I stand at the line with others as old or older, a small and getting smaller band of brothers who have lasted at this game well into our 60s (one friend thinks we should call ourselves the “Antique Roadshow”). I stand at the line with a young mom looking to drop a few pounds after having a baby and three ladies with pink hats and big smiles. I stand there with two laughing preteen girls doing their first race, with a middle aged man making a remarkable recovery from heart surgery, and with a dad and mom pushing their baby in a stroller. With a fellow who actually died of a heart attack and was revived and now runs regularly.

None of us has the slightest chance of winning the race. We will be beaten by that lean, tall, long legged, skinny college guy or gal with the flowing golden locks who will finish before we are halfway done. But of all the things we do this next week or month the thing we will probably be most proud of will be doing that race, of crossing that finish line to the cheers of our family and friends. It really doesn't matter whether we finish in the middle of the pack or last but only that we showed up and finished. Years from now we probably won't remember what our time was but we will remember the sense of achievement we felt and the wonderful people we stood next to on that starting line.

I would love to see you at my next 5K but don't laugh at me please.

Give me a wave, a smile or a fist bump for luck….and then try to catch this old man.

Lou Galli lives and runs in Wilmington, NC.

In

running a race, we stick to the course, measuring ourselves against ourselves and others, but what of life's course? Do we take the road well traveled or do we need to take another path? Like the song “The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond” declares, “O ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low road and I'll be in Scotland before ye,” we must at times take another path.

As the great American poet Robert Frost wrote: The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Running Journal • May, 2015

He Said, She Said Of What Do You Want to be Reminded Each Day? Strings tied around fingers, Post-It notes positioned on mirrors, and hand-written “Honey Do” lists have nearly all been replaced with some sort of technology.

With virtual calendars, electronic communication, cell phone alerts, and other alarms, one rarely needs to rely on outwardly visual stimuli that extend much further than his own Iphone as triggers to remember. Emails, text messages, flashing lights, beeps, and buzzers all serve as important reminders of things we want to accomplish from day to day. Sometimes the old-fashioned pen and paper even does the trick.

Regardless of the physical manifestation of the reminder, that of which we want to be reminded likely holds more weight of importance. This month I ask, of what do you want to be reminded each day?

He (Dantwan Spreads) Said…

“Every day I remind myself that I want running to be my full time job. Therefore, I have to put in the work to make that happen,” said 25-year old Dantwan Spreads.

He was certainly “putting in the work” the morning we first met. During a recent Atlanta trip to visit my brother, I worked in an early morning Spinning session and followed it up with some upper body strength before officially beginning the day. It was in

the condominium building's gym that Spreads captured my attention.

In that moment, it wasn't his lean physique, or his head-whipping sprints that impressed me. In fact, I had not even seen him. I had only heard his voice - the voice of a talented coach who knew and understood the delicate balance between tuning into a runner's 'feet-in-the-mud' impeding mental noise, and motivating that runner to 'move through the mud' by pushing past the debilitating mind chatter.

“I've been coaching running all of my life.

I've had great coaches [who have] given me great knowledge, so I always passed that on to my teammates or any runner I thought needed it.” Said USATF Level 1 Certified Running Coach, Personal Trainer, and Group Exercise Instructor Dantwan Spreads.

On that particular morning, the runner who needed it was one of Spreads' female athletes whom he was coaching through sprint work on the treadmill.

“Running on the treadmill with proper mechanics can translate to running on a track. Force application is one of the main factors. The more force you apply, the better frequency you will get out of it,” Spreads said.

He made sure his trainee applied ample force on the treadmill, even after she momentarily paused, straddled the moving 'mill with still feet, and breathlessly contended, “I can't do anymore.” After verbally ensuring her that she could (and would) in fact do more, Spreads simply looked at the clock, then looked at his athlete with an expectant gaze and nod, and delivered the fuel that propelled her through the remaining seconds of the fartlek.

“My training advice for runners is always want more. Every week I push myself more than I did the week before,” Spreads, who plans to compete overseas in May, shared.

After pushing, congratulating, and dismissing his client, Spreads proceeded to push himself, immediately finding his place on the treadmill and proclaiming, “My turn!”

With goals of competing internationally, securing a running contract, and continuing to PR, Spreads currently holds a 10:51 100m PR, a 20:97 200m PR, and a 47:13 400m PR. When he is not coaching, teaching, training, or instructing as a coach who is part of the Nike Training Camp, Spreads stays busy reminding himself of just what he believes it takes to be a triumphant runner.

“A runner is victorious when they lay it all on the line. I've learned through the many years of competing, you can't be forgiving.

You only have that one shot to do what you want to do.”

She (Mary Marcia Brown) Said…

Dantwan Spreads

Each and every moment is precious. Each moment requires nothing else - it is already complete. In fact, contained in each moment is the totality of all you have, all you are, and all the world is around you. I want to remind myself of this not just every day, but in every moment of every day. I want to allow each moment, space to be, and be grateful that the moment even is.

The fast paced culture in which we live, pushes us to think about tomorrow, schedule next week, and plan for the future - and then it asks us, “What's next?” instead of asking “What's now?” We are often driven to 'do' instead of allowed to 'be'. But there's good

news. We are the drivers of our own vehicles, and instead of heavy-footed race car drivers with the finish line straight ahead and in clear sight, we can be Sunday afternoon drivers, using our mirrors to enjoy all the beauty that surrounds us and rolling down our windows to take in the fresh, crisp air.

It's not that Sunday drivers do not have a destination. It's simply that they enjoy the drive that takes them there. They are not fearful that they will be the last to arrive, and they don't compare their current car-cruising to the cruising of last week.

These are important reminders for runners, too. Fear of future running and comparison with past performance can threaten to rob us of our joy of running in the moment. I was recently reminded of this important lesson.

Nursing an injury for multiple months, my mind began to whisper worrisome thoughts that I may not be able to run … long distances, competitive times, or even at all. It began taunting me with tales of losing speed, gaining weight, and failing fitness.

And was it right? Might all of this happen in the future? The fact is that it may - and it may not. More importantly however, is that it is not happening in this moment.

Equally as potentially detrimental as those fearful thoughts of future, are those paralyzing comparative thoughts of the past. “My miles are a third of where they were last year at this time.” “Last year, my times were much faster going into this race.” “With so little training, I won't even come close to last year's PR, and with this pesky lingering injury, I may not even finish.

These were all initial thoughts I had, when my biggest fan (thanks, Daddy-O) registered me for a 10-miler last month, that I had run strongly last year. The comparative thoughts with last year's race and the fearful thoughts of potential future failure could have easily prevented me from even giving the race (and myself) a deserving shot. They could have even kept me wrapped up in useless minddriven conversation with myself for days!

But they didn't.

Instead, I reminded myself of the only thing that really is - the moment. In that moment, my injury was better, my legs were strong, my training was sufficient, and I had been gifted with the opportunity to do what I had not been able to do for the past three months - run 10 miles. I was grateful for the moment and grateful for the gift. I was reminded that the past has no power, and that the future is unknown. I seized the moment and enjoyed every stride that moved me closer to the 10-mile finish. And I didn't even need a rearview mirror or rolled down windows to enjoy the beautiful scenery and fresh, crisp air along the way.

They were already part of the moment.

Running Journal • May, 2015

Running Psychology After the Run Euphoria Your run is over and you're just kind of walking around, maybe socializing a bit, or having something to re-hydrate.

You feel really, really good! You know what I mean, relaxed, energized, and totally at ease. It's a feeling you wish you could bottle and have with you all the time. While there have been many theories that seek to explain this phenomenon from a psychological standpoint, there have been few which attempt to explain it from a biological-psychology perspective. In other words, running may actually affect the chemistry of the brain. So in reality, the reason we feel so good after running is due to changes in our brain and body physiology.

While research on brain function has progressed greatly over the past decade, the human brain is not nearly as well understood as other organs in the body. Several hypotheses have been formulated as to why running may promote relaxation, increases in mood and reduction of depression.

Probably the oldest of these hypotheses has to do with brain neurochemicals known as endorphins. These endorphins are much like opioid drugs in their chemical structure, so it has been long hypothesized that endorphins can improve mood and result in an almost euphoric state. Research has indeed shown that endorphin levels in the blood stream do increase during and after intense exercise. The bad news is the endorphins don't appear to cross from the blood stream into the brain in very large amounts. However, in many animal studies it has been shown that endorphins do indeed bind to receptor sites in the brain, which would indicate the endorphins might actually have some effect on why we feel good mentally after a run. Before we can say this with certainty however, much more research is warranted.

Another theory, which attempts to explain the elevated mood after running, has to do with body temperature.

Because we burn more fuel during exercise our body temperature is raised due to the thermatic effect of turning food into energy. An increase in body temperature has been linked to better mood. However, science doesn't really support this idea. It could be that exercise leads to increased blood flow to the brain. Physical stress does increase brain blood flow, and certainly running is a physical stressor, so the increased blood to the brain theory may be a plausible one to consider.

There is a great deal of interest today in research on neurotransmitters, which are the chemical in the brain that allow nerve cells to communicate with each other. Drugs such as Prozac, Zoloft etc. improve mood by increasing the levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain.

Running may actually increase brain serotonin levels as well. Running has been used as therapy for depression for years. Both serotonin and norepinephrine, which we commonly call adrenaline, are involved in such things as heart function, pain relief and sleep. Running may indeed increase brain neurotransmitter activity, which will lead to those good perceptions after a run. A recent study at Duke University reported those who took antidepressant medications AND exercised tended to recover better from depression. Much research will be done in this area in the future.

While running does appear to improve mood, too much running may actually lower it. Much has been written on overtraining in runners. It would appear that adrenaline and cortisol, which are the two hormones involved in the stress

response, may actually decrease when a runner is overtrained. This in turn may be what leads to the feelings of constant fatique, low mood, and irritability when overtrained. Interestingly, the psychological symptoms of overtraining are the same as those associated with those who suffer from major depression. Running, when not done to the extent of overtraining, may actually result in the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol being more effectively used in the body for their intended purpose of preparing the body for physical action. This may in turn lead to feelings of relaxation and higher levels of mood. Running is certainly a very effective way to deal with stress.

Another plausible reason for those post-run feelings of pleasure may be linked to simple muscle relaxation.

Jacobson's famous Progressive Relaxation Technique is based upon tensing of muscles and then releasing the tension. When this technique is done on the large muscle groups throughout the body, relaxation occurs both physically and mentally. Progressive Relaxation is known as a muscle to mind technique because you first relax the muscles and the mind follows. This same muscle to mind type of relaxation may follow running. After a run your muscles are very relaxed which in turn leads to a sense of psychological relaxation as well While it is widely accepted that aerobic exercise reduces anxiety and depression and increases self-esteem the exact reason it does so is not clear. Much more research needs to be done in the area. Anyone who runs knows the good feeling you get afterward. As sport science and neuroscience progresses, scientists who study the effects of exercise on the brain will examine the phenomenon of running and mood in much more depth. In the future, researchers may be able to give people the proper “dose” of running to make them feel the best. A specific duration and intensity of running may be found which will lead to the greatest mental health benefits.

Maybe one day the exact physiological mechanism of why running makes us feel good will be discovered. Until then, just keep running and feeling good. After a very cold winter the warm weather of spring certainly will help your running mood as well! Enjoy yourself on the road, trails, and track or wherever you run!

TENNESSEE Scott Wietecha and Kylie Korsnack earn victories in Gupton Jeep Tom King Classic 5K

By Peter Pressman, Race Director NASHVILLE, TN - This year’s 21st Annual Gupton Jeep Tom King Classic held on March 7 will certainly go down as one of our more memorable ones. Mother Nature conspired to deliver a winter storm Wednesday night into Thursday of race week, with anywhere from 3 to 6 inches of snow, creating treacherous travel and running conditions. Nashville Mayor Dean declared a local State of Emergency, and temperatures dropped to single digits Friday morning. Our exciting and unique Finish inside LP Field would not happen as the field was now off limits to our runners. As Race Director, I was forced to make the painful decision to eliminate the half marathon and run the single 5K Event with a delayed start. Safety of our runners and volunteers was a top priority. With 7 miles of the half marathon course along the Shelby Bottoms Greenway, snow and ice would be a major concern. I emailed all participants Thursday afternoon with this announcement. With the support of local Metro agencies and officials, LP Field Staff, and numerous volunteers, we moved forward to race morning with disappointment, but optimistic that we would still hold at least a portion of our event.

On what turned out to be a sunny and cold morning, with snow and ice patches around the exterior of LP Field as a reminder of the storm, more than 900 runners turned out to

run the 5K. In what was a very deep field with 9 runners finishing under 16:00, Scott Wietecha emerged as the male winner with his time of 14:56. Kylie Korsnack led a competitive women’s field to cross the finish line in 17:58 to claim her victory.

Masters winners were Linda Lamott (20:47) and Christian Villavice (15:58).

Grandmasters winners were Rosemary Stochel (22:32) and Timothy O’Leary (18:35).

Despite all our weather related issues, race weekend kicked off successfully with our Friday night Pasta Dinner, featuring Dick Beardsley as our guest speaker. Elite Marathoner and author, Dick shared his passion for running with his enthusiastic and inspirational presentation. Mixed with his wit and wisdom, Dick engaged our audience, as he shared humorous anecdotes related to his early development as a runner. As part of his presentation, Dick shared a recap of his 1982 Boston Marathon epic battle with Alberto Salazar, which was chronicled in the book “Duel in the Sun.” Dick also ran our 5K and assisted me with the post-race awards ceremony in the Stadium Club.

This annual event hosted by the Nashville Striders, normally includes the half marathon and 5K, featuring an exciting finish inside LP Field, home of the Tennessee Titans.

Runners appear on the large Titantron Video Screen as they emerge from the Tunnel to enter the field, and run halfway around the field to Finish on the Fifty. Proceeds benefit the various programs the Club is engaged in, with 10% specifically earmarked for the Striders Youth Fund.

There were close to 900 Official Finishers in the 5K. Complete results for this event can be found on the club’s website: www.nashvillestriders.com or the event website: www.tomkingclassic.com Male: Overall – Scott Wietecha 14:56, Josh Whitehead 15:04, Chris Duncan 15:34.
