He Said, She Said Boston from Starting Line, Finish & Coach's Seat Regardless of the event, post-race recaps are fascinating in the range of varying perspectives. One might wonder how runners can travel the same trek, at nearly the same By time, and yet share such dissimilar recounts of the journey. Of course, when Mary Marcia Brown runners view an event from overtly evident vantage points, the diverse narratives make a bit more sense. On the heels of the 119th Boston Marathon, I reached out to three runners who experienced the legendary race from distinct positions to find out…

“How did this year's Boston Marathon look toned and strong by incorporating heavy from the starting line, from the finish line, abdominal work.

Tulowiecki approached Boston's starting and from the coach's seat? gun from the same position as the majority of the runners - from the official starting line in Hopkinton.

“I started in the very first corral, with the first 7500 runners along with the men's elite field,” Tulowiecki said of the position he assumed after being bused to the start.

“On the bus ride over, it all started sinking in, the history, what it was all about, it was about that time. The buses dropped us off and they were handing out these sheets of foil type stuff. We all herded in tents very close to one another and I basically covered up with this thing from head to toe and got as close to my fellow runners as possible. As I saw the rain and felt the cold I was thinking 'What the hell am I doing here ?' I started doubting my ability to run in these conditions but I knew I had to do this. As we started going into our corrals and walk to the starting point my confidence began to go back up. As I saw the thousands of spectators, security, thousands of runners that run comparable to you, it was time,” Tulowiecki recounted.

The 26.2 miles ahead of him would Mark Tulowiecki prove to be more physically, mentally and emotionally trying than he could have imagined. The trained Floridian runner, From the Starting Line, He who had successfully (and impressively) (Mark Tulowiecki) said…

For 42-year old Mark Tulowiecki of completed seven marathons since Lakeland, Florida, the Boston Marathon November, found himself in unfamiliar began in March 2014 when he qualified by weather, on an unfamiliar course, and completing the inaugural Tomoka experiencing unfamiliar thoughts of wonMarathon in Ormond Beach with a time of dering whether or not he would realize his 3:08 - winning the Masters title. Following Boston goal.

“Honestly, nothing could have prepared that race, Tulowiecki ran three marathons in a 15-day period in Clearwater, me for running in the kind of conditions in Celebration, and Melbourne, Florida, earn- Boston this year. The sometimes 30 mph ing an even faster qualifying time of 3:06 head winds, the cold 40-degree weather along with the rain on the course made for at the Celebration Marathon.

Tulowiecki held a disciplined 7-day per some really bad running weather. I had week training routine for the seven months honestly prepared for a 2:59:59 marathon leading to Boston. Alternating between and finished about 10 minutes slower. At strength and run days, he consistently the end, and then afterwards, as I walked to logged 12 to 15-mile runs under the pick up my clothing I honestly wanted to Florida sun while ensuring his core stayed break down and cry because I was so cold.

There were many runners treated for hypothermia this year,” Tulowiecki said.

He was grateful that the need for hypothermia treatment was not his fate. He was also grateful to feel the weight of “the whole experience of being there, the significance of the race, the history and, yes, the tragedy from a couple years ago” -and he was gratefully able to experience the actual course, traditionally, from the beginning to the successful end.

David Clark

From the Finish Line, He (David Clark) said…

Many met the author of the best-selling book "Out There: A Story of Ultra Recovery" in a recent issue of Runners World Magazine. Previously 320 pounds and addicted to alcohol, David Clark announced that his goal for this year's Boston Marathon, was not just to successfully complete the 26.2-mile course, but to run it four consecutive times - his Boston Quad.

“I thought of the idea when I went to Boston and met Deb Kelly, the mother of Sophie Kelly, a teenage girl lost to addiction in 2014. The idea was running the marathon once for those still struggling, once for those in recovery, once for the

It’s that time of year when runners start thinking ahead to the Fall Marathon season. What better way to make it through the steamy days of summer than to plan a fall marathon or other long distance event. We are here to help with that planning with our semi-annual Marathon & Long Distance Directory. The directory covers long distance events (20K to ultras) in the last half of 2015.

Browse through the next few pages and you’ll find a variety of events to choose from. Marathons and Half marathons are increasingly popular and new events continue to be added to the schedule. Whether it’s an old favorite, or a brand new race you are looking for, you can find it in our directory. If you are searching for the perfect race to run your first marathon or half marathon, you’re sure to see one that catches your interest. Once you’ve found the race you are looking for, make sure to do your research. Many races now have entry limits, time limits, and early cutoffs for entry. That is why planning early and entering early is very important. With all that out of the way, that gives you more time to train. We hope you will have the time of your life!

View From the Back – 2015 Nashville Marathon

By Art Zimmerman When I finally reached the finish line a beaten runner with a badly strained hip flexor in my 11th marathon, the grueling Big Sur in 2011, I decided it was probably time for me to join the half marathon crowd. My 65-69 marathon age group was getting thin with good reason.

But of course a couple years later at a dinner with some non-running friends, someone asked if there were any marathons in New Orleans. “Sure”, I said, and in 2014 my wife Kathy and our four friends headed for the New Orleans Marathon. I thought what the heck, I was ready to give the marathon one more shot on a flat course to end with an even career dozen. It went pretty well as I finished around the middle of my age group.

When one of our friends asked me the day after the race if there were any marathons in Memphis or Nashville in 2015, I paused this time before finally saying “sure.” Since Memphis was in December, the 6 of us planned another marathon trip for me to run the Nashville Marathon this April 25th. Lucky marathon #13! Why not just one more before I turn 70 in October? Nashville is fairly flat, right? Not exactly!

Lining up on race day with 27,000+ other runners in downtown Nashville on Broadway and 5th, I had already noticed on our city bus tour the day before that we seemed to be in the midst of a lot of hills. But I was ready, and off I went from Corral 27. The first hill came quickly after a short downhill start. And the hills just kept coming.

The first 5 miles went fine and I thought surely the

course will eventually flatten out. By mile 10 and more of the same, I was already starting to flag. On another long climb between miles 11 and 12, signs for the half marathon split appeared on my left. Half marathon right and full marathon straight. I looked up the hill past the half turnoff and there were only two runners and empty road in front of me, with a streaming crowd of runners on my right all heading for the

half marathon finish. When I looked at the results after the race, I learned that less than 10% of the 27,000+ runners who started were in the full marathon. The rest knew what I didn't know about the hills and were all in the half or 5K. Another good lesson learned: read the cliff notes about the course, before the race, not after!

Soldiering on in a now very sparse string of run-

ners, most of mile 16 was uphill again as the temperature approached 80 with humidity to match when the sun came out. I walked most of that hill hoping to survive a few more miles. Just after mile 17 and directly across from the Titans NFL stadium finish area, so close and yet so far, my wife Kathy was in a group of one as I stopped to give her a hug and tell her it was getting dicey, but I'm going on. Up another hill to mile 18.

Just after mile 20, my left foot cramped, and since I couldn't move it, I was forced to stop and work on the cramp. This was as close as I'd ever come to dropping out of any of the over 100 races I've run since I started running 15 years ago. The cramp eased enough to allow me to shift into run/walk mode that turned into mostly walking by mile 22. I looked behind me to see if there were any other runners, hoping I wasn't last, and luckily I was still ahead of the few I could see spread out around the beautiful park path we were on.

I was now officially near the back-end of the race.

Runners were few and far between, and I found myself alone after I gave a pack of peanut butter crackers from my pocket to a woman who said she didn't think she could make it to the next food stop.

Fantastic volunteers were still on duty and as I went along, a large group of young cheerleaders resting on the side of the road all jumped into action as I went by and did a big cheer just for me. A great energy boost!

By mile 25, a final foot cramp arrived that wouldn't go away, and I thought this can't be the end, I'm too close. After a couple more minutes, I was able to

HE SAID, SHE SAID CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 families, and once for Sophie,” Clark explained of the 104.8 mile journey that he began from the official finish line of the event.

Beginning Sunday night, Clark's goal was to run the marathon from the finish line to the start, from the start to the finish, and from the finish line to the start again before beginning the forth leg of his Boston Quad at the race's official start on Monday morning.

“It was more difficult than I imagined dealing with the open roads during the first two to three times along the course. Lots of cars, race crews setting up, etc. I had to run in and out of traffic, over curbs and alleys, etc.

The weather also was pretty tough. But strangely as it turns out we pretty much finished right on schedule -- just over the 24 hours,” Clark said.

His girlfriend, Courtney, supported his efforts by driving a van, tirelessly without sleep, for 30 non-stop hours. Several pacers also ran with him on and off after the first marathon.

“The plan was ad hoc. If I felt really good, I would have the van drive up the road four to five miles and I would run until I saw them.

When I was suffering, I would want to see them every mile or so, just to check in,” Clark shared.

Clark's hope was to bring more awareness to The Superman Project - an initiative involving a small group of sober athletes trying to set a solid example of running and active recovery. As he traveled the raintopped terrain of his Boston Quad trek, Clark found himself solidly present, aware, and reminded of his own personal road.

“I couldn't help [but] feel the weight of my own recovery and how lucky and blessed I am in my life,” Clark said.

This feeling likely surfaced several times during the many miles that held countless emotional moments. The last official starter of the race, Clark remembered much of that emotion surfacing as he prepared to begin the final 26.2.

“I was very emotional thinking of all the miles I had logged, not only in the last several hours but over the nine-plus years to get me to that place. It didn't take too long before we realized we still had a hell of a long run left though so we set out. The road was empty before us and they were tearing down the starting line as we set off. We started to catch the back of the pack runners and we (my pacer friend Chris and I) decided we would try to cheer and encourage everyone we could catch on the way back to Boston.

The amazing thing to me was that because of when we started (so far to the back) the runners that we were catching were all struggling. We saw walkers, and folks with medical limitations, MS, prosthetics, etc. Seeing people who were blind, injured and still slogging through the rain quickly made me feel that whatever pain was in my body, was nothing compared to the bravery and courage these folks were displaying. I knew when I made it back to Boston, my body would eventually heal. These heroes did not have the same luxury,” Clark shared with compassion.

Running Journal • June, 2015 Other heartfelt emotional moments happened as he approached the 104.8-mile finish with Deb Kelly.

“We cried together, we talked about Sophie, and I walked to the sideline and turned around to look out at the course. I think I thought somehow I would be able to see the entire 104.8 miles I ran, but I was just right back where I started, it was humbling and beautiful,” Clark said.

Many motivated, moved by, and following Clark's inspiring story want to know … will he tackle a Boston Quad again? Clark offered a clear, concise, and yet curiosity-arousing response.

“This effort deserves to live as it does nowI won't go back or won't do it again. I will however do more crazy things- it's in my blood.”

- as was evidenced by Deucher's 2:49 first place finishing time among the more than 40 participating Cape Fear region runners at this year's Boston Marathon.

“Coach was a huge help. He helped me map out just about every week of running and was very supportive and inspiring when my spirits were low. There were a couple of key moments in training when his words were exactly what I needed to hear,” Deucher said.

Even post-training and post-Boston, Coach Morrell still has words of wisdom and advice to offer Deucher.

“I would advise Peter to focus on discovering his true pace, in life and his running. He is much faster in his run than he believes at this point. My hope would also be since his father runs occasionally, that he will get out and run a three or four miler with him as much as possible,” Morrell said.

As far as wise words specific to the 26.2mile journey, Morrell was reminded of the conclusion of a writing that he has always appreciated and found helpful in his own relationship with the race.

“When you race the marathon - when you truly give it everything you have and then Peter Deucher some - you honor the spirit of the marathon,” Championship 5K in Salisbury in March, he quoted. where Deucher took home the NC RRCA 5K “Respect the race you are running, and espeOverall State Championship title, and cially [respect] the marathon.”

Morrell was named the NC RRCA 5K Senior Grand Masters Champion.

Will Morrell

From the Coach's Seat, He (Will Morrell) said…

While veteran runners will often make clean-cut transitions from competitive running to coaching, Will Morrell has discovered the talent that allows him to reap the rewards of both. Stepping out of 2014 with three RRCA State Championship titles, and stepping into 2015 to quickly earn two RRCA State Championship titles, Morrell began coaching 21-year old runner Peter Deucher four months before the Boston Marathon.

Having run an impressive 3:03 at Boston last year, Deucher set his sights on 2:50 for 2015. He stepped into his role as marathon trainee, open to Coach Morrell's approach to help him realize his goal. At the same time, Morrell opened himself to transitioning back and forth between coach and competitive athlete in the months leading to Boston.

“The transition from running/competing in a major race is interesting and challenging for me. I never saw myself as a coach and teacher until these later years and the experience of watching rather than running is still unique to me,” Morrell said.

Of course, there were moments during the four-month stretch that he was able to coach and compete at the same time. Weaving competitive races into Deucher's marathon training plan, Morrell joined Deucher at the starting line of the NC RRCA State

This Running Life Umstead 100 Feeds Hungry With Leftover Food Feeding a small army of hungry ultramarathoners as well as their cheerleaders and crews, a devoted cast of volunteers and a variety of spectators, is no small feat, but organizers of the Umstead 100 Endurance Run at are taking the feeding frenzy one step further by feeding hundreds of hungry families through a big donation to the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina.

Three years ago, ultra-runner and volunteer Juliet Cleaves Brundige noticed there was a lot of food left over after the last runner crossed the finish line at Umstead. Her oldest son worked at the Food Bank through his Boy Scout Troop, so she volunteered to donate the leftovers to the Food Bank's Raleigh warehouse.

According to Jennifer Caslin, the Food Bank's marketing director, Brundige was a welcome sight.

“The Umstead race is the only race that donates food to the Food Bank,” she said.

“People just are not aware this is an option.”

And they don't realize people are hungry in the southeast.

According to Caslin, 651,000 people live with food insecurity in Eastern North Carolina alone. That's one third of the state.

Kids make up 30 percent of that population.

The Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina covers 34 counties from Orange eastward. Branches are located in Durham, Raleigh, Greenville, the Sandhills, New Bern and Wilmington, and the bank partners with over 800 smaller agencies, such as food pantries, churches and rescue missions to provide food in communities without a Food Bank branch.

By Teri Saylor

“We buy a lot of food,” said Rhonda Hampton, race director for the Umstead Endurance Run. “We spend between $5,000 and $6,000, and we feed a lot of people. I have no way of knowing how many meals we actually serve during race weekend.”

One of the more fun and coveted volunteer race duties is to go food shopping. A team of volunteers lines up a shopping cart brigade and hits the local big box superstore where they buy in bulk. Items include cold cuts, potatoes, eggs, fruit, soup, hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken breasts, bagels, rolls, salad mix, pasta and tomato sauce, chips, pretzels, trail mix, hard candies, chocolate, peanuts, a variety of soft drinks, tea, coffee hot chocolate, fruit juices and more.

The Umstead 100 Endurance Run traces its humble beginnings back to 1994 as a training run before ultra-marathons were popular. The race's founder, Blake Norwood and his friend Tom Newnam were training The Umstead 100 organizers provides the runners a list of food available at the race, but they for the Hardrock 100 and thought the hilly also take orders.

EAT WELL, RUN WELL

The Athlete’s Kitchen Traveling Runners & Gas Station Nutrition Are you among the many runners, triathletes, coaches, trainers, and support crews -- including parents, partners and siblings -- who spend too much time on the road, traveling from one sporting event to the next? If so, your food budget is likely tight, your encounters with unhealthy foods are relentless, and your hankerings for comfort foods might often overpower your nutrition knowledge. While you likely know what you should eat, you may struggle to eat well. Regardless of the obstacles, runners and triathletes who travel by car and bus need to fuel optimally to be able to perform at their best.

When healthful food options are scarce, some travelers wonder if eating a decent sports diet is even possible when grabbing late-night or early morning snacks from a gas station or vending machine's meager offerings. The answer: yes, with a bit of creativity.

To better understand the limitations of eating on the road, I spent an afternoon hanging out at a few gas stations. The bigger stations and those closer to a main highway or busy towns had far better offerings than the small-town gas station's shelves stocked with just a few bags of pork rinds and some candy bars. Hence, you (or the team's bus driver) want to take nutrition into mind when planning fuel stops. Gassing up sooner at a bigger station is better than later, if later will be in the middle of nowhere.

The following tips can help you eat reasonably well from a gas station or vending machine -- or at least, eat better than if you have no plan at all. But first, for the purposes of this article, you need to understand the definition of “well balanced sports diet” -- and note that “well balanced” applies to your entire day's eating, not just one meal or snack. Hence, a good breakfast, lunch and dinner can help offset sub-optimal midnight junk food.

A “well balanced sports diet” includes foods from at least three -- ideally four -- of these food groupings: 1. Fruits and vegetables for vitamins and minerals to boost your immune system and help keep your body healthy.

2. Grain-based foods to fuel your muscles and your brain.

3. Protein-rich foods to build and repair your muscles.

4. Calcium-rich foods such as dairy, to enhance bone-health and also offer high-quality protein for muscles.

“Balance” also includes calorie-balance. Be sure to read the calorie information on food labels and eat only the portion that fits into your calorie budget: approximately 600-800 calories/meal for active women and 800-1,000 calories/meal for active men.

The following list of some typical gas station snacks groups the foods according to nutrient profile. Your job is to choose one food from at least three of the four groups. Using this template, you can manage to pick a somewhat balanced, halfway decent sports diet when you are on the road (or at a vending machine).

Don’t let nutrition be your missing link...

• enjoy better workouts • lose undesired body fat • feel great!

Run with energy to spare—and even lose weight at the same time!

** If you are lactose intolerant, cheddar cheese is a lactosefree dairy option -- but you likely want to travel with Lactaid™ Pills. Non-dairy calcium-rich foods such as soy milk or calcium-fortified orange juice can be hard to find on the road.

Turning snacks into a balanced sports diet When you are at home, a “well balanced diet” includes all four food groups and might look like this: Wheaties + milk + banana + hard boiled eggs Whole wheat bread + turkey + cheese + lettuce/tomato, an apple Brown rice + chicken + broccoli + yogurt (for dessert) When you are eating from the gas station/vending machine, your balanced diet might resemble these “tasty” (ha!) meals: Orange juice + popcorn + protein bar + yogurt Salsa+ corn chips + almonds + milk Banana + peanuts + Wheat Thins + cheese stick Fruits and vegetables are the hardest foods to find when you are on the road. Because your body stores vitamins in the liver, you can have a diet low in fruits and veggies for a week or so and you will not suffer from malnutrition. (A healthy person's liver stores enough vitamin C to last at least three weeks.) But you will want to re-stock your liver's diminished supply when you get back home. That means, choose fruit smoothies, colorful salads, and generous portions of fresh fruits and veggies whenever you get the opportunity to do so.

Traveling with a cooler A wise alternative to “dining” at gas stations is to travel with a mini-cooler (and re-freezable ice packs). Stock the cooler with sandwiches (PB&J, ham & cheese), beverages, and wholesome sports foods. A pre-trip food-shopping spree at large supermarket can save you (and your teammates) a lot of money. Suggestions include: Perishable items: Oranges, orange juice, baby carrots, peppers (eat them like apples); yogurt, sliced cheese, milk chugs; ham, hard boiled eggs, hummus; tortillas, wraps, mini-bagels.

Non-perishable items: tuna in pop-top cans, small jar of peanut butter, almonds; granola bars, graham crackers; Fig Newtons, dried fruit, V8 juice.

Note: your teammates might come begging for food, so pack extra -or better yet, encourage them to pack their own cooler!

The Bottom Line Performance starts with good nutrition. If you make the effort to travel to races and running events, you might as well make the effort to eat well. No amount of training will outperform a bad sports diet.

Learning from the Young Guns Using Long Races to Improve Your 5K On February 21 Mo Farah broke the indoor world record for 2 miles, running an eye-popping 8 minutes and 3 seconds.

One month later, on March 22, Farah broke the European record for the half marathon, running 59:32. Perhaps more incredible than the times themselves is the range he displayed in a short span of four weeks. Over 11 miles separate the two distances, and the 51 minutes and 29 seconds that separate Farah's marks is a fraction of the time it would be for us mortals.

Believe it or not, there are lessons we can learn from the performances of a World and Olympic Champion; I didn't just mention this to make you feel bad. The training background of most elite athletes allows them to be race ready far quicker than the rest of us, but the concept of using shorter races to prepare for longer races and visa versa is a valuable training tool.

VIEW FROM THE BACK CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 move again slowly towards the finish.

With about a half mile to go, I was walking with a group of 6 others who had been running and walking together behind me, including that lady I gave the crackers to. Out of the blue, a 30-something woman came over to me and gave me a big hug. When she pulled away with tears in her eyes, she said she had been following me for several miles and I looked a lot like her father who had passed away last year, and she was running in his memory. About all I could choke out through my own tears was that her dad is proud of her today and so am I. In the final quarter mile, I was walking next to a young girl in her teens who said she just couldn't run another step as the rest of those in her group started jogging to the finish. So we walked together as she pointed out her cheering parents up ahead. When I tried to at least run the final 200 yards, my knee buckled after two steps and I was forced to limp to the finish as I heard my name called out by the announcer. The spectators were mostly gone by now, save for the great volunteers, several of them at the ready to put the medal around my neck. I had made it to the end and ahead of what turned out to be over 100 runners behind me. Lucky #13 marathon indeed!

For the record, Kenyan runner Goeffrey Kiptoo, the early race leader, finished second, 10 minutes behind three-peat winner Scott Wietecha in 2:23:33. Said Geoffrey, “I was not aware of the course. I thought it was flat, but it was so hilly.”

Leg cramps at mile 20 forced him to slow down, admitting he ran too fast for the first 20 miles.

Join the crowd Goeffrey.

My time? 6:24:30 and the back of the pack was never better!

The trick to mastering your versatility as a distance runner is rooted in the understanding that 2 miles and 13.1 miles aren't as different as you probably think.

The major components for success are the same for both distances, namely the underlying aerobic development built through consistent mileage, tempo runs, and weekly long runs. I don't know this to be true, but I suspect Farah was focusing on the 2-mile world record with a secondary focus on the half marathon. And while the 2-mile performance is a better relative performance, the half marathon was still the best half marathon of his life, and shows that his foundation in aerobic strength was uncompromised by the focus on the shorter event. There are 2 different ways to approach long race/short race training strategy: one is to use the economy gained from training for shorter races to run successfully at the longer distances (as seen with Farah); the other is to use the strength gained from a longer event to jumpstart your training for a shorter race.

The latter of those options is my preference, especially for those of us that make our living doing something other than winning races. The difference for elite athletes is that they typically spend more time developing their aerobic capabilities.

There are a variety of reasons for this (including the fact that it takes a lot of time to run as much as the pros!), but the point is this allows an athlete like Mo Farah to focus on a shorter distance and then run a great half marathon. And it explains why you're better off spending more time training like you're getting ready for a half marathon than training like you're getting ready for a 2-mile or a 5K -- the training elite athletes do for a 2 mile looks a lot like the training most people do for a half marathon.

Here in the south there is a logistical advantage in using a half marathon training cycle and target race to prep for shorter races. Most 5K and 10K races tend to be held during the summer months, and

it's much easier to race a 5K than a half marathon during July in North Carolina.

It's easier to train for one too. If you've ever trained for a half marathon or marathon during the summer months you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Putting in those 18-20+ mile runs takes a lot more out of you in the summer than it does in the winter, and that's why I always prefer to target longer races from October to April and shorter events during the warmer months.

The key to transitioning properly between a longer race and a shorter series of races is in the recovery. For example, if you take 3 months to prepare for a half marathon you need to make sure your body recovers from both the race and the training. The recovery period is necessary in order to approach the next training cycle with fresh legs. Most people fear that if they take recovery time they will lose everything they worked so hard for, but planned rest is a critical part of training. The type of recovery you take depends greatly on your situation, and therein lies the trick to mastering the long/short transition (sort of) like Mo Farah. If you're targeting shorter races within 4-8 weeks of a half marathon you want to make sure you take enough rest to allow your body to recover, but not so much that you lose a significant amount of fitness.

It is a delicate balance, but the best way to do this is to take the week following a longer race very light -- at the most you want to run a little bit every other day with no workout or long run, or roughly 15-25% of your full weekly volume. (I've intentionally left the marathon out of this “longer race" discussion because recovery is very different for the marathon.) The following week you should target 50% of full weekly volume with no workouts. The 3rd week after your longer race should be closer to 60-70% of full volume with a light workout in the middle of the week.

The 4th week back should be a normal training week, and I would encourage you to toss in a 5K race to wake the legs up and see where you're at. Ideally you should have a few shorter races on the schedule, particularly if you're targeting a 5K. The 5K hurt is a different kind of hurt than the longer races, and it takes multiple efforts to callous your body to manage that pain effectively, but once you do you'll be able to capitalize on the fitness from the longer training to boost your performance at the shorter distances.

THIS RUNNING LIFE

Running Psychology

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10

Take Off The Pressure Have you ever wanted something so bad that you actually got in your own way of achieving your goal? Being a runner you know the value of hard work, good planning and self-discipline. But have you ever tried to be so perfect with all of your preparation, training, diet, sleep etc., that you tied yourself up in knots mentally, felt anxious and under pressure, and didn't enjoy getting ready for your big race? Sometimes you can want something so bad and try to control everything so much that you end up working against yourself, instead of being your own biggest supporter. In other words, you get so focused on an outcome or a product that you forget to actually enjoy the process of getting to the outcome.

When you try so hard to absolutely control everything in your running life you ultimately will get frustrated when something gets out of control. Maybe a long run doesn't go well, maybe you get a nagging injury, or maybe you get real busy at work and don't get enough rest. When things don't go perfectly as you would like, you feel frustrated. When you have feelings of frustration you get even more uptight and you become very tense and anxious, which in turn drains even more energy. And so the cycle begins, frustration leads to negative emotions, which leads to more frustration, which leads to more negative emotions.

Even though you can't control the outcome of a race or even all the details involved in training for a race, you can control the effort and the positive energy you put into them. When you give your best effort towards any endeavor, running or otherwise, you feel good about yourself and have positive emotions. When you have positive selfworth and feel good about what you're doing, you tend to enjoy it more and be more motivated. If you always give your best effort and be positive with yourself, you may just find you become less frustrated by not being able to control things and actually are more effective in reaching your running goals. Take the pressure off of yourself by not feeling frustrated, but by feeling great about you!

Enjoy the gift of running because it is indeed a gift. Just think how fortunate you are to be healthy and fit and be able to go out and run. You enjoy it, you love to run.

Running is enjoyable because you put a lot of time into it and you feel a great deal of pride and satisfaction when you do run a great race, set a new PR or complete a distance you have never covered before. You live for those feelings, so don't be frustrated when things don't go exactly as planned. Feel joy about all the positive things you have accomplished in your running and be excited about all the positive things you will accomplish in the future!

Many people wonder why people run. To the casual observer running may appear to be pain and torture, something to be avoided because of discomfort. But you know that running is enjoyable and just plain fun! As runners, we all know that! So when things aren't going exactly as you had hoped with your running, such as a disappointing race, difficult period of training or low points of motivation, remember just why you run in the first place, because you enjoy it and it gives you great feelings of ful-

fillment and joy. These simple joys of running are so important and are what keeps you coming back for more.

So take the pressure off of yourself and develop and nurture your ENJOYMENT of running, all aspects of what you enjoy about running. When you enjoy what you're doing, running or otherwise, you begin to simply put your heart into the activity and give your best effort toward reaching your goals. You value the hard work you put into your running and don't really view your training as a task; you view it as enjoyable and understand that your hard work is just a part of the wonderful process of reaching your running goals. Running achievements probably wouldn't mean as much if you didn't have to be dedicated and work hard to reach your goals. Enjoy the journey, not just the outcome.

Don't be afraid to test yourself. Let go of the pressure to perform. Simply prepare to the best of your ability, trust yourself and your preparation, and then allow great performances to happen. Believe in yourself and don't fear failure. Enjoy it when you know you have given your all, because that is all you can ask of yourself.

Your attitude can also rub off on others around you.

When people see you having great enthusiasm for your running, enjoying running and having a positive attitude toward your performances, you may just be serving as a valuable role model for them. Share your love of running with others, share your joy when you perform well, but also share your joy when you did your best, even though it may not have been what you hoped for. Respect others efforts as well. Congratulate fellow runners on a job well done, thereby lifting everyone's spirits.

So learn to strive to be the best runner you can be and enjoy yourself through the entire process. Don't always judge yourself by a race performance, race time or some record. There is no pressure, just strive to be the best runner you can be and if you can indeed do that, then that is winning! Strive to be the best runner you can be, but always remember that it should be a fun and enjoyable journey. Pressure only comes from between your ears, so let it go!

terrain in William Umstead State Park in Raleigh would make the perfect training ground. A third friend, Jerry Dudek, served as their crew. Later the three started talking about creating an ultramarathon right there at Umstead Park, and the next year they made it happen.

Norwood dedicated his efforts to making the Umstead ultra-marathon experience a great one, especially for beginning ultra runners, and every year he devised ways to support them, including building a midnight buffet as lavish as anyone might find on a cruise ship.

In 2014, Norwood's last race (he retired from his post as director and died last October) he even made sure there was a snow cone machine to cool off steamy runners during a particularly hot race weekend.

The Umstead race has two large aid stations. Aid Station One, for years fondly known as “Sally's Asylum” for Sally Squier, the longtime Aid Station One crew chief. Jenn Ennis took over the station this year and now calls it the “Jenn and Tonic Stop.” This station is the main food stop, where volunteers cook around the clock for two and a half days, serving up everything from hot dogs, hamburgers and chicken sandwiches, to spaghetti and meatballs, a variety of soups and omelets.

Aid Station Two, known as Jerry's Ptomaine Tavern, is almost as lush, an oasis of food and snacks for runners as they make their way around the looped course.

Over the weekend, starting with the kick-off spaghetti dinner on Friday night, and ending with breakfast on Sunday morning, 250 runners pass the aid stations, and most pass each one eight times.

Hampton estimates 150 volunteers are on hand to cook and serve food.

“It's all about having plenty of food and volunteers,” Hampton said. “We have the most incredible volunteers that have ever walked this earth.”

In the past, random Umstead volunteers who had the time, took the leftover food to different shelters in the Raleigh area, but there was never a charity designated to receive the leftovers year after year.

Then Brundige stepped up in 2012.

And this year, she stepped up on tired legs, volunteering to transport the food after completing her first Umstead 100-miler. She is modest about her service to the race and to the Food Bank. For her, this was an opportunity.

“It is just a matter of flexing your mind, recognizing an opportunity and stepping up,” she said.

She leaves two grateful organizations in the wake of her service.

It has been such a blessing for us that Juliet is giving it to the Food Bank on behalf of the Umstead leadership,” Hampton said.

And the Food Bank could not be more thrilled.

According to Caslin's records, over the past three years starting April 2, 2012, since Brundige started her delivery service, the Umstead 100 Endurance Run has contributed 1,271 pounds of food, enough to provide 1,070 meals for hungry families.

And that's no small potatoes.

Running Journal • June, 2015

Running Through the Age Groups UNCW Track Effort and Multi-Race Weekends As I write this bifurcated article, the weather is heating up and, with it, the excitement! I first want to let you know that, thanks to a small number of very dedicated individuals and a large number of people who care, we are well on our way to saving our local University Track Program!

After the Save UNCW Track 5K, our fundraising had exceeded $181,000.00!

This means that we have less than $70,000.00 to come up with by the end of May in order to save the program for next season, and hopefully when you actually read this article in print, we will have reached that goal and begun to attack the even more daunting goal of funding a new track and ensuring the program's perpetual existence.

I must admit that when first approached by the grass-roots effort to save the program, I was skeptical. My experience as an attorney representing grass-roots groups had taught me that, generally, grass-roots efforts tend to fight uphill battles, usually against formidable “foes.”

What really encourages me is the support this effort has received from the local and regional running community. That level of support culminated April 26, when about 500 folks turned out for the Save UNCW 5K! The race was a raging

success, allowing for donations above actual entry fees, an exciting raffle, and even an untimed category for less serious folks who simply wanted to show their support without the pressure of a timed event. The enthusiasm was so infectious that, even though tired from a long week and a fast 5K the day prior, I managed to better that time and post one of my fastest 5K times since battling back from two decades of injuries!

The race was fastidiously organized, with everyone, including the director and professional timing company, offering services worth over $17,000.00, absolutely free of charge! After hanging around and enjoying the festive atmosphere, I left the race feeling rejuvenated by the effort and by the state of the running community in general. Just, WOW!

Herb Dykes and Gelene Clark of Brunswick Timing, LLC provided free timing services for the race.

Part II: Double-Race Weekends -- A Good Idea…or Not? Who hasn't noticed the extreme surge in available races these days? As a young runner - during the days of $8 entry fees, plain old cotton t-shirts, and timing by popsicle stick - I often found it difficult to locate one race per month, even during the “high season.” Now, one is not hardpressed to find two, and often three, races during the same weekend, in the same town, week after week after week! This despite a recent seeming upsurge in entry fees, with even 5K's often topping $35.

In the past three weeks, I've been busy with races, running a 1 Mile/10 Mile double on one weekend, a 10K the following weekend, and a 5K/5K double the following weekend. Interspersed with the races, I've traveled three times in as many weeks and attended two classic car shows during the same three weeks. For readers not familiar with classic car shows, they can be as tiring as a marathon as they often involve long days of several hours on one's feet, on asphalt. And I wonder why I felt so tired during my long run today!

Perhaps I could be overdoing?

My interest in double-race weekends began with the Myrtle Beach Mini Marathon, which offers a 5K Saturday followed by a half marathon Sunday. They are both great races on fast courses, so I couldn't resist the temptation to give this a try. One might think that running a 5K the day before a Half Marathon could negatively affect the half marathon time, but I have not found this to be the case. In fact, running a fast 5K on a Saturday actually increases my confidence and comfort

level during Sunday's Half Marathon.

This is likely largely psychological, but for me the 5K distance is a toughie because it's an awfully long time to maintain an uncomfortably fast pace. The comparatively civilized pace of the following half marathon is actually a relief!

I am apparently not the only runner who enjoys these types of things, as “Challenge” races have popped up all over, offering various combinations from 5K/Half Marathon up to 10K/Marathon.

For the really insane, I have seen triples and quads, like the one in Disney which comprises a 5K Thursday, a 10K Friday, a Half Marathon Saturday, and a Marathon Sunday! Well, I tend to stick to the “double”, and I prefer the coupling of a short, fast race followed by a comparably long, “relaxing” race. I recently ran a 1 Mile/10 Mile double which, being unusual, was simply irresistible. Saturday's Mile was a veritable sprint in 6:20 - another “comeback” PR - on a hilly course and awful, humid weather. Sunday, I was greeted with perfectly crisp weather for the fastest 10 Miler I have run in years. What fun!

My most recent “double” comprised a 5K race Saturday in Georgetown, SC, followed by the UNCW 5K race Sunday, in Wilmington. My Saturday race went so well (I took first overall and ran 22:00 flat) that I couldn't imagine actually besting that time by 15 seconds (and winning Masters) on Sunday!

All that said, racing “doubles” works for me, but I'm healthy and am training under the watchful eyes of some very good coaches. I've also learned in my 35 years running how to recognize fatigue before it morphs into illness or injury.

When in doubt, I take rest days, and presently, I am taking about a month off from all races. This is torture, but so necessary! So far, racing “doubles” is working splendidly and providing me with a lot of excitement. If you are completely healthy, I would encourage you to give this a try; just don't start off too ambitiously and give into the temptation of running multiple races several weeks in a row. As I can readily attest, that can really wear you down!

I hope you enjoyed reading these ramblings, and if you haven't yet done so, please visit www.saveuncwtrack.com and donate; no amount is too small! You could be helping save not only our program, but similar programs nationwide.

Until next time, Happy Running!

LIGHT. STABLE .

REMARKABLE CUSHION. THE BONDI 4 .

LET’S GO .

HOKAONEONE.COM

Back in 2009 I wrote an article for this magazine called 'Races Are Growing Around Here.' The idea had come from an article by David Quick in the Post and Courier newspaper in Charleston about how registration for the Cooper River Bridge Run 10K was running ahead of the previous years.

He sent me an e-mail that year: “Considering that you are very familiar with participation numbers from year to year . . . is this increase consistent with races across the Carolinas?”

This year David wrote an article called 'Why The Numbers Are Down' in the same newspaper about the same race. It was good timing because my wife Kathy and I had just been talking about it the week before the race when I had mentioned to her that it seemed like more races were showing fewer finishers this year than last. So it seems like now is a good time to look again at the size and direction of the numbers for not just the Bridge Run but for all races across South Carolina.

First let's look at the number of races. I've been getting the results for every race in that state (that I can get them for) since I bought my first computer back in the dark ages. Almost every year the number of races has increased. Let's just look at this decade's raw numbers of SC races by year: 2010 - 374, 2011 - 474, 2012 - 526, 2013 - 593, 2014 - 599.

You can see that growth slowed last year, i.e. there was the smallest increase in the number of races, as there were only 6 more for 2014 than in 2013. It is too early to judge conclusively if the total number of races this year is down or up.

But what about the number of participants who actually cross the finish line in races. Are those numbers shrinking? I actually keep up with those numbers also. David's article talked about the Bridge Run's entrants and finishers which were both down in 2015 - back to about the numbers for the year 2009. The actual finisher number

declined by 4,475 from 31,864 in 2014 down from to 27,389 in 2015. Several factors were credited with the decline including bad weather in the weeks up to the race and a large increase in the race entry fee. So if the largest race in the state declined this year, how about the other races in the state? Are they growing or shrinking?

How many races so far in 2015 have had more finishers? - Up. Fewer finishers? - Down and new races? We have to consider that new races take some racers from preexisting races. So let's use a charted breakout by month for 2015: (see table below) With just over a quarter of the year gone, of the 189 for which I've been able to find results, more races have lost finishers (83) than gained finishers (61), but there have been 45 first time races held. So which races lost the most? Let's look at the top 5 in each category. Races Down: the Cooper River Bridge Run 10k -4,471, Divas Half Marathon -591, Reedy River Run 5k -424, Get To The Green 5k -400, Palmetto Half Marathon -343, Charleston Half Marathon -307.

Which races gained the most finishers? Races Up: Divas Half Marathon 5k +245, Bunny Hop 5k +219, Myrtle Beach Marathon Neon Night 5k +202, GHS Half Marathon +174, BFF Pink Ribbon Run 5k +166, And shouldn't we count the added finishers for first time or new races as increased finishers? Gamecocks 6k Run +1206, Gilbert Community Color Run 5k + 426, Peyton's Wild and Wacky 5k +224, Hearts & Soles 5k +220, Bosch 5k +209.

If you look closely you can tell that the losses in number of finishers just from the 5 races with the largest losses is not offset by adding the total of the gains of the top 5 in the other 2 categories.

Are races shrinking? At this point in the year of 2015, the answer appears to be yes. But the race finisher's tally isn't over until the fat lady sings on December 31st, or should I say until January 1st 2016. I hope participation in races and the number of races held will grow again this year, but only time will tell.

Running in Georgia

Walking View from the Back

The Great Labor Day One Mile Run

I like the expression before you judge me, walk a mile in my shoes because it really makes you stop and think. When I started my undetermined hiatus from running to rest my injury, I knew I could not sit around and wait for it to heal so I started trying all sorts of cross training to pass the time.

I tried cycling, walking, lifting weights, and yoga. I had to be very careful not to overstress or stretch the injured hamstring. I confirmed what I had already known: I am not a gym person. I know I need to strength train and improve my flexibility through yoga and those things are typically done at the gym, but when it comes to a cardio substitute for running, the indoor cycling just wasn't cutting it.

So I went outside and started walking. I mean really walking. I was averaging close to 30 miles a week. When running, I typically average 40-50 miles a week. But the walking takes so much longer. It is a much bigger time commitment. Week after week I was logging my walking miles and getting faster as my walking form improved. I decided to walk a local 10K that I usually run each year to support scholarships for schools in our county.

I started about a third of the way back from the starting line which was a new experience for me. I usually line up near the front when I am running. When the gun went off, I tried to get right into a fast walking pace but with the 5K and 10K starting together, there were crowds of adults, kids, strollers, walkers, and runners weaving all over the place. I tried to stay to the right so I would be out of their way but often found my walking pace faster than many of their run-walk paces so I had to weave in and out to get around them. Once the 5K turned around, the 10K course was clear sailing. The really cool part was that I was actually getting that competitive feeling even walking way back in the pack. I knew I would not place or have any chance at an award, but I still pressed on trying to walk as fast as I could and lower my fastest walking mile time. It was even exciting speed walking to the finish despite not having anyone to pass. When I crossed the finish line, pretty

much everyone I knew had finished long ago, had already cooled down and had drinks and snacks.

I had such a great experience that about a month later I signed up for another local 10K at a beautiful park. They had cut-off times due to it being an evening race and no lighting out on the trails. I was determined to beat the cut off and complete the whole 10K. I walked this one even faster than my last.

When I crossed the finish line, the crowds were gone and the sun had set but I felt a huge sense of accomplishment. I enjoyed the moment solo. It was extremely satisfying.

Walking is such great exercise that even now as I am starting to run again, I keep walking as a regular part of my weekly workouts. Running is definitely my passion. I have also gained an appreciation of walking as it does not result in awards or recognition for me but rather a personal sense of accomplishment and enjoyment of nature. I cherish the time I have spent walking and either talking with friends and loved ones or just reflecting when on a solo mission. I feel humbled by my injury and appreciate walking and the opportunity to really see the view from the back of the pack.

In the previous century, before metric was invented, there was the Mile Run. The distance has always captured our attention, but has anyone ever asked you what your 1,600 meter time was? More than likely they never have. Historically, who can forget the epic battle at the Penn Relays between Jim Ryan and Marty Liquori in 1971. It was shown live on TV which was a pretty big deal back in the day. And running literature gives us the classic mile matchup between Quinton Cassidy and John Walker in John Parker's novel, “Once A Runner.”

The opportunity to test yourself against some of the best milers in the country at the one mile distance is being offered on Labor Day 2015 in Duluth, GA, courtesy of the Georgia USATF. In the past couple of years there has been a grassroots interest in bringing back the mile to track meets and that interest is spreading to the roads.

New York City has contested the 5th Avenue Mile for years and now it is metro Atlanta's turn to spotlight the distance.

In conversations with Dr. Mike Spino, Long Distance Running Chairman for Georgia USATF, the event is “Expecting several world class milers from training groups in the Southeast such as those international athletes under Coach Robert Gary at Furman University and Coach Peter Rea of Zap Fitness in North Carolina.” World class senior veteran runner Katherine Martin is tentatively scheduled to compete and don't be surprised to see 2015 USATF Masters Indoor Mile Champion, David Matherne of Cartersville, GA, toeing the starting line.

Now don't get me wrong, this isn't a race for just the “Elite” runners, as it offers something for everyone from youth divisions to Masters. The morning will begin with a Masters event which will be followed by the featured Open/Elite races and concludes with a One Mile Fun Run. There will be something for every caliber of runner and you don't need a qualifying time to enter or a USATF membership.

Just sign up, line up and race. The one mile is all go and no blow.

The races will be contested at Gwinnett Place Mall in Duluth, GA, and event organizers promise a very fast, flat exterior loop that circles the shopping center.

The course will be certified by the USA

By Jim Dugger

Track & Field and managed by USATF certified officials.

In addition to the race itself on Labor Day morning, the the Sunday afternoon prior, a “Runner Meet & Greet” will be held at center court at the Gwinnett Place Mall. Several world class milers will be on hand to discuss all aspects of training for running the mile. It promises to be a great opportunity to expose local athletes of all abilities to their training regimens and strategies for running the mile. Race packet pick up and registration will also be available at this time. Early registration is available on www.active.com.

Did I mention prize money? Everyone likes a little cash and the Elite/Open races pay out $500 to the winner. Master's champions receives $200 for their effort and prize money goes three deep. No prize money for the “Fun Run”, but commemorative age group medals will be presented to the top three in their respective divisions in 10 year age groups. Entry fee is nominal and you don't have to be a member of the USATF to compete or to cash in on the prize money.Both Mike Spino and Race Director Marlene Atwood feel that the Great Labor Day Mile is a fantastic start to bringing visibility to middle distance running in Georgia and an opportunity to provide middle distance runners with well organized, quality competitions.

Event information can be found on the Georgia USATF website (www.usatfga.org) as well as information about the many programs and opportunities the association provides for Georgia athletes. Please make plans to join Georgia USATF on Labor Day as they “Celebrate the Mile” and as always thanks for reading all the way to the bottom of the page.

Women’s Running Setting a Plan in Motion With a Fall Marathon or Half It is hard to believe June and summer are already here. Living in the south we have learned to survive the heat and humidity of summer. As you deal with the summer it is an excellent time to set a goal for the fall and if you are like most runners get ready for a half or full marathon. This is definitely the time to build your base miles and use the heat of summer to stress your system a bit more to get you in the training mode. Setting a goal race is an awesome way to motivate yourself during the dog days of summer.

You may already have a favorite fall event or have already been accepted to one of the big major fall marathons like New York, Chicago, or Marine Corp. But if you are not into the big mega events, which are a marathon in and of themselves to make all your arrangements, challenge yourself with a new marathon or half and make a mini vacation of the event.

Running a marathon a month in my 65th year, I discovered many smaller marathons in very scenic locales. You can be a part of the changing seasons in most

of the fall northeast events. If you decide to pick a new event, and I highly recommend doing so, you need to start thinking about all of the things you want in an event.

Depending on where you live and train certainly can influence you in selecting your venue. If you live in the flatlands, it is probably not best to choose a course for a mountain goat unless you really are looking for a big challenge. I have found that absolutely the best place to start your selection process is at marathonguide.com. On this complete website you can find by month and date almost every marathon that is run in the

USA and Canada. When you find something that looks interesting you can click on the race.

Once you click you will see contact information including address, phone number, e-mail, course maps and elevations, the race website, and runner comments from runners who have run the race. I find these to be extremely helpful as most runners are fairly discerning on races they have run and there is a star rating from five to one.

I usually skim through the comments from the previous year or two to get a feel for any concerns, and after looking at the website and seeing the amenities and costs I often contact the info e-mail to ask about any specific concerns I might have. It is amazing how much useful information there is available on even small races.

I found the VIA marathon/half this way and discovered the Lehigh Valley and surrounding area in Pennsylvania. It was a two-day drive from home along some very historic byways. The course was very scenic and run along trails for over half of the course. Runners World headquarters is nearby and the area is quaint. You were able to park right at the start and buses brought you back after the race. There was a huge race finish celebration and some nice local craft beers for the runners.

Be aware that you may be overwhelmed by the sheer number of races, but if you have some idea of the type of course, the geographic area, your general month and any other specifications you have, you will be able to go through the candidates fairly quickly. June is a great time to do this as registration rates are generally lower. And it is truly amazing to see how many races there are throughout North America.

Be aware that many of these races have limited numbers available and may sell out, especially if they utilize state parks.

I laughed last year when I was scheduling my races when a race director friend of mine told me about a specific race she and her husband were planning to run. I nicely told her that she had a good plan but the race had been sold out for nearly a month. She was attempting to get a

Boston qualifier and this was one of the courses that boasted a high percentage of qualifiers. She actually then registered for the VIA marathon and met her standard by quite a bit a week or so before the deadline for Boston.

When looking for that special race, consider the location, but also when you will have to do most of your long runs.

Living in the south you may find that October or November or even December are better months, so you do not have to do most of your long runs in the heat of summer. But if a September marathon is on your mind and there are some awesome ones, you can get your training done in the heat. You will definitely have to plan hydration strategies, but it is quite doable.

Another factor you might want to consider is the type of hydration drink that will be served along the course. Races are going with different products and you should prefer a fluid that you can either tolerate well or get used to when training.

This is a crucial aspect to your success in a longer race. And it is one many people do not take into consideration until they have issues during the race. Usually it is on the race information or can be obtained fairly easily. Drinking a fluid you have never used on race day is a surefire way to court disaster!

Planning for a half or full will make the journey to race day so much easier.

Once you choose your race, you can get to planning all the related aspects of your trip and race. Make it an adventure you can look forward to doing and know that preparation is the key factor. Next month I will share some of the lessons I have learned over the years in training. Start your base training now so that you are doing a minimum of 30 miles a week before you move into the training required the three months before the race. Have fun seeing all there is out there in the world of running. And truly believe other runners when they say a course is difficult. That truly means it is!

Running Through the Bluegrass DNF Stings But There's Another Marathon Ahead Sometimes, wanting something isn't quite enough. I work in education and we teach our students that it is okay to fail -- that failure is a learning process. As I work through swirling emotions regarding my marathon attempt last Saturday, I am trying to remember those things.

It was definitely a learning opportunity. I tried a new training plan after following more-or-less the same one since I started running marathons. This one was different -- including no long runs over 16 miles -- but I stuck to it pretty faithfully and enjoyed the workout progression.

But, subtract from that equation a few obstacles -quite a bit of snow earlier this year that forced a lot of my training indoors; horrendous allergy season once the snow went away.

So, as I stood on the line Saturday morning for the Kentucky Derby Festival Marathon, I said aloud: "I'm not sure I'm ready for this."

I wasn't. That was the scariest part. Normally when I toe the line with 26 miles ahead of me, I can look at my training and know I am ready. If I wasn't, I had made the decision weeks before to drop down to the half.

But this time I just didn't know. I had followed the plan, but I didn't really feel ready.

Sometimes, you have to be willing to try -- even if it means failing. I figured I would give it a shot and see how things panned out.

On the upside, the first nine miles were excellent. I went out a little fast but felt good and the weather was cooperating -- we were operating with a 100% chance of rain and likely thunderstorms, but started with just an infrequent misting.

Side bar: I've had good weather for each of the nine marathons I've run before. Instead of hoping my goodweather mojo would save the day, maybe I should've taken the rain as a sign I wasn't ready.

We hit the hills around mile 12, a 3-mile section through beautiful Iroquois Park. I fell off pace and was

feeling discouraged. Once out of the park, the clouds opened -- absolute downpour. I was already wet, but now I was soaked, complete with heavy, sloppy shoes.

I wanted to set a personal best at this race and have set PRs at every other distance since last summer. I know it is in me, but it wasn't in me that day.

At mile 17.5, with the rain still coming down hard, I stepped off the course. My husband had been running point-to-point and was waiting there, under an umbrella with my inlaws ... who conveniently were parked nearby.

The first thing I said was, "Take me home."

I was cold, I was defeated, I was frustrated. When my husband asked what was wrong, I walked away and cried.

Then I walked back and cried again.

What followed was essentially a walk of shame. We drove over to where other friends and family were waiting to cheer me on -- in the rain, waiting for me. And I had failed them. Even worse, we weren't sure exactly where they were and could only get so close in the car -and I was so cold I couldn't even get out to jog with Chris to find them and let them know.

Then, once I got back to the car, I had texts to answer about what happened and confirming, yes, I had dropped out, no, nothing was seriously wrong.

I cried some more on the way home. Then I had a margarita. I would recommend that strategy.

So, my first marathon DNF. It stings. But there are many more races to run, and every race won't be perfect.

I've opted to not try another one this spring, but to instead pick up a half marathon over Memorial Day weekend in Owensboro, Ky., where my mom lives. I'll pair that with some shorter summer races and build my confidence back up. And I've already reserved a hotel for Indianapolis, where Chris and I plan to run the Monumental Marathon (again) in November.

Wanting to run a personal best isn't quite enough to get the job done -- but it's the motivation to keep trying.

Masters Running Stuff, and More Stuff - A Runner's Joy and Dilemma!

Soon I will be on the move!

I have decided to downsize, leave North Carolina and move to Florida. But this has proven to be a bigger project than I first thought. What's holding up the show is getting rid of all the “stuff ” that I have accumulated over the years, but no longer need. I am sifting through papers, clothes, kitchenware and more, deciding what to keep, what to donate, and what to discard.

And then there are all my running memorabilia! As a masters runner with a history on the roads for almost 40 years and on the track before then, I probably have a more daunting task ahead of me than the average person who is trying to downsize.

So here I am, wondering what to do with four decades of race T-shirts, medals and other awards, bags, running books, and miscellaneous “bling” from conventions and race expos. Not to mention all the glassware I have received as overall and age group awards over the years!

Here in the Raleigh area glassware has always been a popular award, especially during the 1980's when I placed in several races. Yes, I would get a beer glass from time to time as an age group award while living and racing in New Jersey around the turn of the century. But in Raleigh I have collected entire sets of glasses, often with the race's name or emblem printed on them.

I have four tall beer glasses from the 1984 Capital Trail Run, for example. This was a downtown Raleigh 10-miler that disappeared from the calendar decades ago. So, I guess these glasses will qualify as a keepsake, and go with me to Florida!

Then there is the Run for the Oaks (a Raleigh 5K which is now also a thing of the past) which often gave a set of four cocktail glasses to age group winners. I have several sets hailing from this event.

However, nothing matches the eight champagne glasses that I collected during a women's 5K at Raleigh's Meredith College in the early 1990's. I got four glasses for being first master, two for being second overall, and another two for running on the winning team. So I walked away with eight glasses, plus a bottle of champagne -- more loot than anybody else picked up that day!

Then there are all my plaques. Some are very coveted, for example the one I received for winning the Senior Grandmasters Division (age 60+) at the RRCA National Half Marathon Championship last year. Others are

By Lena Hollmann

unique, like my first place plaque from the Broad Street Run in Philadelphia in 1984. Or the one with a Volvo replica, from the 1998 Midland Run in New Jersey. (Volvo was the Title Sponsor in this race.) Others are less significant, but still mementos from races where I once placed. Since I don't have space on the walls for all the plaques I have accumulated during my almost 40 years of road racing, many have been sitting in a box for decades.

And I have medals, medals, medals!

Some are from decades ago, for winning or placing in various local races, overall or in my age group. Recently also several that I collected simply because I crossed the finish line. Like many of you, I have participated in recent half marathons (plus one marathon, in Napa, CA, last year), where receiving a finisher's medal is the norm. These medals are big and heavy, and a stark contrast to the medal the size of a quarter that I earned for placing 10th overall among the women in the 1984 Boston Marathon.

And what about all those T-shirts? I have given several of them away over the years, mostly to charity. Others became favorites, which I wore until they literally fell into threads and I had to throw them away. Some are kept in containers, others are filing up the drawers in my dresser.

And some are just lying around, because I have no place to put them! This is of course every runner's dilemma and not just mine. The older you become and the more years you keep on running, the more shirts will clutter your house or apartment.

And then there are all my bags. If anyone deserves to be called a bag lady, it is me! At every conference I attend (not just running related) I walk away with another bag. I have back packs, gym bags, shopping bags, briefcases -- not to mention all those little shoulder bags! Many of the latter were part of my race packet, or came from sponsors at pre-race expos.

Last but not the least, I have piles and piles of running books. Some I bought, others were given to me, yet others I cannot remember how and why they ended up on my shelves. I have biographies of famous runners, books that focus on training or nutrition, even a couple that chronicle specific races, like the Boston Marathon. A few are classics that I will keep forever, for example 'Running and Being' by George Sheehan and 'Born to Run' by Christopher McDougall. Most of my other books I obtained and kept for a reason. But still, I must ask myself whether I should keep them all. For example, do I really need four books on sports nutrition?

As of this writing I am sifting through everything I own, not just running related.

I have asked runner friends if they want some items that are in good condition.

But I haven't had much luck here, because everybody else has about as much stuff as I have! Maybe not as many cocktail glasses, but as time goes by every runner will accumulate more shirts, bags and books than they know what to do with.

Especially masters runners like me, who have been practicing the sport for a while.

I have no creative solution what to do with all the running paraphernalia that we collect, accidentally or on purpose. I think it varies from person to person what we want to save. Someone who is new to running will cherish that T-shirt and medal, while someone who has been running for 40 years might give them to a family member, or to charity. For various reasons, some races mean more to us than others, and there are items we pick up

along the way which become keepsakes.

Whether it's the bib from our first marathon, a T-shirt that is exceptionally nice, or a medal that is the biggest in the country (I'm thinking of a specific marathon here!), we probably want to hang onto it.

As far as I am concerned, I have a feeling I will keep much of my “stuff ” that is running related. Except for T-shirts and bags, where most will be donated if in good condition, and go in the trash otherwise. I might also donate some of my older medals from local races, a few books, and some of my glassware. But it is hard to let go of things that I worked hard for or acquired for a reason, even if I never use them or even look at them anymore.

So, I guess I'll hang on to most of my “bling” for yet another move -- as I wonder what Deena Kastor and Meb Keflezighi are doing with all the awards they have collected over the years! They must have at least three times as much as I have. And I know they will accumulate much more in the future, since they are both more than 20 years my junior. I'm itching to find out what they decide to do with all their awards and other running memorabilia once they age up enough to downsize!

Distance Memories 100,000 Miles … and Sleep

By Scott Ludwig

Sometimes stories just write themselves. This is one such story.

It was the first Saturday in May. The weather couldn't have been more perfect: Sunny, gentle breeze and temperatures hovering around 70 degrees. Forty or so runners had gathered at the beautiful Bear Creek Farm in Moreland, Georgia to run for eight hours around a 1.02-mile asphalt loop amongst the residents, most notably the magnificent horses who were more than willing to run side-by-side with the runners.

This was the 13th year of the event and the first time I was able to run in it because it was also the first time it was being directed by someone other then myself. I finished my 22nd loop when Cindy, her friend Jan, and my grandson Krischan arrived to partake of the festivities. Krischan's first comment to me: 'What took you so long, G-Pa?' He couldn't have been waiting for me for more than seven or eight minutes.

I asked him if he wanted to run a loop with me. I'm not sure I had the entire question out of my mouth before he was taking off - intuitively, I might add - on the loop in the correct direction: Counterclockwise, just as he was taught several years ago when I took him to the local high school track for the first time.

As he is prone to do, Krischan took off like a jackrabbit. More accurately, like a hare … as in the story of the tortoise and the hare. We talked about that fable a week ago and Cindy and I tried to convey

the moral of the story: Slow but steady wins the race. I caught up to him and reminded him of it. He slowed down-if only for a couple of seconds before speeding off. This cycle repeated for the entire loop and the next. As we approached the gazebo (the start/finish line of each loop) I pulled slightly ahead and told him he was the hare and I was the tortoise. His reply: 'No, this is the story of the Krischan and the G-Pa' before taking the lead and keeping it the remaining 150 yards back to the gazebo. So much for Aesop and his fables.

Krischan stopped at the gazebo to get a drink and some snacks, courtesy of the other runners in the event. In no particular order, he dined on Gummi bears, Doritos, cookies, M & M's, Pringles potato chips and cupcakes, and drank (also in no particular order) Gatorade, Coke, water, and Sprite. I ran the next loop alone and when I returned to the gazebo Krischan was gone: He was doing a couple more loops with Cindy and Jan. Krischan would join me again on my 30th loop (I would run 31 when all was said and done) and provided the most entertaining 15 minutes I can remember.

Here's what Krischan had in store for me (as well as the other runners on the course): Runner: How far have you run?

Krischan: Eight hours (he knew it was an eight-hour run, thus the reference), but it didn't feel like eight hours.

Runner: How did you become such an awesome runner?

Krischan: That's because I work out.

As we approached a runner who had told me she wanted to meet Krischan: Me: This lady up ahead wants to meet you.

Krischan: Why? Is she a fan of mine?

Random comment by Krischan to me:

Did you know red blood cells carry oxygen to your body?

Random comment by Krischan to another runner: Too much running is bad for you. (You can blame this one on me: Krischan has seen me after some of my longer runs.)

Random comment by Krischan to a runner drinking a beer in the gazebo after we finished the loop: Too much beer is bad for you. (Again, my fault.)

Random comment to a line of four men taking a walk break on the course (keep in mind they had been out on the course for over six hours at the time): “Come on, you slowpokes. You all need to stop walking and talking. Let's run!” (This followed by another burst of hare-like speed, of course.)

Krischan sat at a picnic table beneath the gazebo as I finished my final loop, at which point I took a seat in a canvas chair and began counting loops as the runners still on the course went by. Krischan grabbed a canvas chair, plopped it down next to me and, before he sat down, ran out on the course to run another loop with someone he had never met. Six-year olds know no strangers, you know.

About 15 minutes later Krischan came running up the hill towards the gazebo, albeit with a different runner than the one he had joined at the beginning of the loop.

He took a seat in the chair next to me, sat for a good - oh, 25 seconds or so -- and joined another runner he had never met to run yet another loop. Fifteen minutes later he returned, again with a runner other than the one he left with. The runner commented when she ran by: “Your grandson sure kept me entertained.”

When all was said and done, Krischan had completed nine of the 1.02-mile loops; nine very, very hilly loops all within a time frame that couldn't have been much more than two hours. Before today the most he had ever run was one mile. As he took a seat in the canvas chair next to me one last time he looked over at the grease board listing the top three males and females and asked why his name wasn't listed. I went over and wrote his name at the bottom of the board with a '9' next to it. He promptly ran over and changed it to 59, later changing it to 100,000. I asked him how on earth he managed to run that far. “I started early.” That boy has an answer for everything.

After the awards ceremony and some post-race conversation and refreshments, it was time to clean up the gazebo and surrounding area. Krischan was a real trooper, putting plastic cups in the trash can and making sure everyone got some of the

Doritos from the bag he was guarding with his life. On the way home - a 20minute drive at most, Krischan was out like a light.

That's what happens when you're only six years old and spent the day running 100,000 miles.

Running Fitness Tough Choices for a Tough Mudder Finished without injury. That is how I always answer the question after a race, “How'd ya do?” The older I get, the more I am reminded how true this is, and how hard it is to achieve. I know how we love to run, and every decision I make about running serves the goal of running till I croak. So many in my age group are injured or dropping out.

Mother's Day this year came the week my youngest daughter graduated from college. My sister, 11 years older, died way too early recently of complications from diabetes and heart disease she developed in her twenties.

At the running club training run, I heard about a younger, accomplished runner who broke her ankle at a Tough Mudder obstacle race, and has had it operated on three times.

As I write, today is the deadline for entering the National Senior Games. Even though I qualified in each of the six Florida state events from the 50 meters to the 1500, due to the $5000 expense, unlike the last Nationals held two years ago that I went to and did respectably, I won't go this year. You can do a lot of 5Ks and half marathons for $5000. Deciding what races not to do can be the toughest decisions we make.

What do all these events have to do with each other? I almost died of a colon blockage at 28, and changed my way of eating shortly after. I listened to the advice of doctors who said, “Do things differently or you'll end up like everyone else in your family.” Beyond the breast cancer that got my mom, aunt and eventually both sisters, heart disease and diabetes also set in young for them.

The cover story of “Good Medicine” this month says preventable heart disease is now being diagnosed in utero. Before birth?! Many studies cite obesity as the cause for diabetes and heart disease in childhood. A psychologist consulted with me about body fat expectations for teens.

She told me she was asked to evaluate a healthy, bodybuilding teen who qualified for bariatic surgery. The teen felt she was “too big.” Diet-altering was never mentioned.

Somehow, we have gone completely off track as a country. Corporations even buy races now. I've been disgusted to see that

By Ellen Jaffe Jones

the pork industry is helping celebrate National Pork Month by promoting “Bacon 5Ks” in our neighborhood. I can't imagine smelling, let alone eating that after a race, vegan or not. Most runners I know crave fruits and healthful proteins and carbs post-race. The big-time local companies such as running stores are bacon-race sponsors. I've encouraged my vegan running buddies to protest. As I say in “Eat Vegan on $4 a Day,” where are the broccoli runs? Where is the company that makes broccoli? Where is the broccoli lobby, association and lobby? Where is the reporters' indignation over corporations sliding disgusting chocolate milk into race finishers' hands supporting their publicized recovery drink campaign?

I just want to say, “Where are you all gonna be at my age? What is your cholesterol going to be?” Running is not a carte blanche insurance policy to eat all the butter, donuts and bacon you can pile in while posting it on Facebook. When I see running coaches doing this, I am even more saddened.

The wisdom that comes with age helps us identify the important goals and what we want to pass on to our children. My daughter did her first marathon last year and kindly sought my advice. Soon after, she did a Tough Mudder and after the shock administered at the finish line, decided she was lucky not to be injured.

I've spent a life time at the gym and on trails. It hasn't been cheap. But as I always say with each race entry fee, it's cheaper than an MRI. Cheaper than meds. My sister suffered from a herniated disc, contracted MRSA and was paralyzed for the rest of her few years left. It lodged in her neck and paralyzed her for the rest of her few years. I can't even imagine what that cost in dollars, but more in lost generations who never knew her. I was the desig-

nated salad bringer to family occasions when I was still invited. The family didn't let me know she had died.

I have spoken to many runners my age who are passionate about running because they've seen family members die too soon.

Like me, they run as fast as they can away from disease and preventable pain and suffering. I am not joyful, but rather greatly saddened by the lack of tolerance and rush to judgment so many have when they hear the word “vegan.” Or they turn a blind eye to untainted research and prefer to, as the great vegan doctor John McDougall always says, “love good news about bad

habits.”

At the the runners club run, a young athlete/coach who is winning races told me some of his running friends are vegan.

They get that the diet is low-inflammatory, builds muscle like some of the largest vegan animals on the planet, and is incredibly cheap. He said, “I'm not there yet, but I'm listening.” There is hope.

SOUTH CAROLINA Cooper River Bridge Run 10K Charleston, SC – 4/1 It was a surprisingly cool morning for the 8 a.m. start of the 38th annual Cooper River Bridge Run. Runners were saying it was about 39 degrees while the official start time temp was shown as 45 degrees which felt much colder due to a strong wind. As a result, times were slower for most of the 27,389 participants who crossed the finish line, down 4,471 from last year. There were 33,803 entrants in 2015.

The race crosses the Cooper River on the 2.5 mile long Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, the longest suspen-

sion bridge in the U.S. There is a 4% grade which lasts almost a mile and this year runners had a strong headwind gusting from 10 to 15 miles per hour. The race started exactly on time with runners divided into 14 waves, each of which starts 3 minutes apart.

The stiff headwind led to a conservative start for the elite runners. Kenyan runners took the lead, but didn’t go unchallenged. For the second year in a row, Bobby Mack , 30, of Raleigh, NC, was determined to finish in the top 10, with a goal this year of perhaps making the top 3. He took the lead after the first mile and led until the pack of international runners caught him at about the 3 mile mark coming down the bridge.

Dominic Ondoro, 27, of Kenya used his kick at the finish to pull away from Solomon Deksisa, 21 of Ethiopia and win the $10,000 first prize by 2 seconds in 29:22. The time was only the 22nd fastest of the 38 winning times for the race. Cynthia Limo, 25, of Kenya was female winner in 32:18, 10 seconds ahead of Ruti Aga of Kenya. Limo was quoted in the local newspaper, “It was so cold, but it was a good race. The wind did bother me a little bit.”

Mack won the $500 first USA finisher prize for the second time in 29:52, good for seventh overall. He admitted that leading early might have been a mistake saying “It might have been better for me to sit back and kick at the end.” Top USA female, also for the second time, was Lindsey Scherf, 28, from Chapel Hill, NC, finishing as 11th female overall in 34:22. She was quoted as saying “I love this race, and the challenge of running up the bridge and battling the wind. It’s not the best conditions for a fast time, but it’s a great way to compete. Every 10K I run from here on out will feel a lot easier.”

The Masters male winner was Meshack Kirwa, 40 of Kenya. He finished 10th overall in 30:29. Female Masters winner was Lyubov Denisova, 43, of Russia in 36:18. Grandmasters winners were Oleg Strizhakov, 51, of Russia in 34:27 and Kerry Robinson, 55, of Meggett, SC, in 41:05. The Senior Grand masters award was won for the third year in a row by Ric Banning, 62, of Altamonte Springs, FL in 41:27. Linda Clarkson, 66, of Johns Island took the female Senior Grandmasters in 50:17.

The Dr. Marcus Newberry award, named for the founder of the race is presented to the first local finishers, male and female from the Tri-County (Charleston) area. Michael Banks, 28, of Charleston, won the award for the third year in a row finishing ninth overall in 30:27. He said he was happy to finish in the top 10 and commented that the wind had made the pace slower than usual. Rives Poe, also from Charleston was female winner placing as 22nd overall female in 38:01, her sixth time to win this award.

The Terry Hamlin Mobility Impaired Awards went to Jeff Nolan, 32, of Goose Creek, SC, his second win in a row, this year in 50:39. Female winner was Anna Demenym, 13, of Moravian Falls, NC, in 1:19:15.

In the wheelchair division, defending champion Alex Dupont, 29 of Claranceville, Quebec, Canada won for the fourth year in a row, this year in 26:07.

Female winner was Carly Pearson, 39 of Knoxville, TN who won in 50:41.

The Dewey Wise award for oldest runner who runs a time faster than his or her age was taken for the seventh year in a row by William ‘Bill’ Boulter.

The 85 year old finished in 1:09:42.

In addition to the prize money division, the Bridge Run presented awards 3 deep in each age group with an additional top 5% award presented in each age group up to a maximum of 25. These awards are given after verification. This year 34 participants were disqualified from awards for using other runner’s bib numbers.

Sabotages To Training NVILLE, N SO

JACK

By Ray Krolewicz

C

I was out running one recent morning when I passed a man I sometimes see out walking. We exchanged greetings, and as we did I noticed he was smoking a cigarette. I had about 12 seconds of sanctimonity. Yes, I am playing with the word sanctimonious here, if a totally unacceptable reword as “I had about 12 seconds of feeling sanctimonious,” before realizing I was not sinless myself.

The previous evening, while inching along in traffic approaching a wreck, I spied a fast food chain. I noted a special in the window. I was hungry and it was already past dinner time. I pulled in, went inside and ordered the special. It had been years, perhaps 20 or more, since I'd had this particular item and halfway through I remembered why. (Don't get me wrong, I've had plenty of fast food in the years between.) This item just does not happen to be a preferred taste.

I continued my run thinking about how and why we decide what is good for us and for others. I should have been glad this man was out walking, perhaps even hoped that was step one in a smoking cessation program that would lead to him running, perhaps even an ultra one day.

This line of thinking led me to think about my own training, how I am trying to run more, eat better, lose weight and generally become a better runner than I am now. I had good food at home. Why did I stop? What caused me to give approval to this form of sabotage of my running?

That led me to think about other ways I am my own greatest enemy in reaching goals. Many of us prove over and over to be our own saboteurs. What we do to recognize and combat this is important.

It is difficult to remain focused all of the time, and forgoing pleasures often makes an enjoyable task less enjoyable, or even avoided. Training can easily fall into this category. I have heard many runners talk about “having to go for a run.” I have heard runners complain about the program they are following, even as they desire to reach the goal at the end of the training period. Training, is for most runners a pleasurable activity in and of itself.

But, there are those days.

I am not alone. Runs get skipped, less healthy foods and drinks are consumed.

(Don't let me get started on a soda habit I had to kick.) Training can become a chore if there is too much time between the rewards. I am not talking about burnout here (which is for another column). I am talking about the simple choices among pleasures, where running and focus on all aspects of training is not the most attractive option.

Sabotages can be conscious decisions, or unexamined behaviors that seemed like a good idea at the time. The results are the same, less effective, less accomplished running. Except for those runners who only want to complete the distance, with no regard for competition internal or external, less accomplished running is not a good thing. Even for those who only desire to complete the distance, a great enough lapse, or series of lapses in training might leave one with the dreaded DNF… did not finish.

For those folks there are always timed events. More on that topic later.
