This Running Life Scary Greenway Encounter a Safety Reminder Kara De Lisi Kraft is counting her blessings just a few weeks after a scary encounter on a Raleigh, NC Greenway.

She is counting the lessons she learned, too. Not that she did anything wrong. She actually did everything right.

I met up with her recently at a local run club; she told me about how common sense, and possibly a little bit of luck, kept her safe when a man accosted her on a recreational greenway last month.

I have been running and biking on the greenways safely for more than 10 years.

Kara's story serves as a great reminder to always be aware of my surroundings when I'm running alone.

Kara is a medical records manager for the Wake County Department of Health and Human Services and after a long day at work it is only natural that she wanted to take advantage of the beautiful greenway and stretch her legs for about five miles. After all, the evening shadows don't creep over the trails until late this time of year, and the weather that day was beautiful.

The place Kara chose to run is beautiful. The Neuse River Greenway is 27.5 miles of wide, smooth pavement that runs through two counties and offers scenic views of the Neuse River. It is part of

Kara De Lisi Kraft

By Teri Saylor

Raleigh's Capital Area Greenway System, and a segment of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, which stretches across North Carolina from the Great Smoky Mountains to the Outer Banks.

I love to visit different segments of it, sometimes running, mostly biking. A favorite destination in mid summer is a vast, picturesque field of sunflowers that grow on a rolling field behind a white rail fence.

When you are out on the greenway looking for turtles sunning on partially submerged logs in the river or a shy deer poking its head out of the sheltering woods, it's easy to forget you are only a few miles from downtown Raleigh.

On warm weekends you may spot a few kids and their dads, perched on the river-

bank, families floating down the lazy river nestled in their inner tubes or paddling canoes and kayaks. And there are plenty of cyclists, runners and dog walkers to keep you company. Much of the trail backs up to neighborhoods.

There are a number of areas along the Greenway that have parking lots. Some of the lots are part of actual parks with picnic shelters and restroom facilities. Kara happened to choose a parking lot just off a city street, where about 10 other cars were parked. Most of those cars had bike racks on them, and when Kara got out on the trail, she saw plenty of cyclists, but few runners.

Then she saw a man near the trail, but he didn't look like a runner.

“I had barely run a mile when a man approached me on the trail,” she told me.

“I know he wasn't a runner because he was dressed in basketball shorts, a polo shirt and regular shoes - not running shoes.”

She was in a wooded area, and reckons he came out of the woods.

He ran up to her very close, but not touching, called her sexy and invited her to join him in some activities that can't be reprinted in a family magazine.

“I whipped right around and started running back in the other direction,” Kara said. “He turned around and started following right behind me.”

Kara is small, but mighty. A friendly brunette with a bubbly personality, she's not much more than five feet tall, smart, friendly and actively engaged in the local running community.

On this day, she was brave and fierce, too.

The trail was deserted, but Kara screamed at the top of her lungs and told him she was going to call the cops.

Miraculously, he ran away.

Kara didn't stop until she was back at her car, and along the way she warned other runners and cyclists to be aware the man was prowling the trail. One woman even grabbed a can of mace before heading out for her evening run.

Kara felt a flood of emotions. She was relieved that nothing bad had happened.

She was bummed out because her run had been cut short and ruined. She was upset because in her hurry to get away, she pulled a muscle in her calf that would keep her sidelined for a few days.

And she felt a little guilty for running alone on a greenway in the evening, and

Down the Road Where Do Olympians Come From?

Do you plan to watch the Olympics this August? How about the Olympic Trials in July? Have you ever wondered how people - especially the runners like most of us like to think of ourselves, get there? Okay I won't use the old joke about Carnegie Hall - practice, practice, practice. But maybe I will since it is at least a big part of how runners and everyone else come to succeed.

Most of us (and I will always think of myself as a runner) are road runners and some of us have a track or cross country back ground. I think people who competed in High School or College (and I did it only on an intra-mural level) have a good idea of how difficult it can be to make a team, much less to run well enough to win and then to move to a higher international level like the Olympics.

I had this great idea for an article - John Olson had invited me to the SCRunners Meet of Champions (MOC) here in Rock Hill where High School athletes would be competing against one another. I was going to write about what they did, talk to

By Cedric Jaggers

them after their event, find out if they had Olympic dreams, and mention how it compared to Olympic performances. Then in the article mention the fact that these were the people who would one day be out striving for and hoping to make the Olympic team. Okay, well the frailty of the body caught up with me and I got some kind of bug and had a fever and couldn't go to the meet. So here instead is an article to try to make you think how really good these kids and all the young people and athletes are who make the Olympics.

I'm going to list some of the winning

www.running.net performances and then list the times of the Olympic Trials on NBC TV channels and the qualifying times (which came from that omnipotent source - the internet).

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the MOC. Here are some of the running events: July 1 10K Men's finals 9 PM NBC show (all times Eastern). Women's finals 2 PM NBC. Not competed at the MOC. QT (qualifying time to automatically get to participate in the Trials: Men 28:15.0, Women 32:25.0.

July 3 Men's and Women's 100 meter and 400 meter 7 PM NBC. MOC no males, female winner 100m Diamond Rush 12.19. Olympic QT Male 10.16, Female 11.32. 400m Olympic QT Men 45.40, Women 52.20.

July 4 Men's and Women's 800 meter 7PM NBCSN. MOC male Ford McCoy 1:58.68, female Abigail Smith 2:21.17.

Olympic QT Men 1:46.00, Women 2:03.00.

July 8 Men's 1500m 6 PM NBCSN. MOC Ben Gilman 3:59.81. Olympic QT Men 3:38.00.

July 9 Men's 200m, 5000m 8 PM NBC. Olympic QT 200m 20.50, (note MOC had a 3000m won by Matthew Tinsley in 9:3.76. Olympic QT 5000m 13:28.00.

July 10 Men's & Women's 1500 (may be replay of men's from July 8?) Women's 200m. 7 PM NBC. Men's 1500 MOC Ben

Gilman 3:59.81. Olympic QT Men 3:38.00. MOC Cate Ambrose 4:45.15.

Olympic QT 4:09:50. Women's 200m MOC Diamond Rush 26.00, Olympic QT 23.20.

Think you could run any of these times?

These kids are our future. Go to a track meet and support them when you can. Or at least think about what it takes to do these things. Some of us road runners don't get on a track very often. If you haven't been on a track for a while go to one and run around it twice. That will be 800 meters. Look at your time. Did you meet the Olympic 800 meter qualifying time- 1 minute 46 seconds if you are male or 2 minutes 3 seconds if you are female?

Did you out run these high school kids' times 1:56.68 or 2:21:17? Think about how fast that really is.

Olympians come from our high schools and colleges and it takes a lot of hard work and effort to achieve anything at all on track. It takes a lot to win and eventually run qualifying times. We need to support their efforts.

Running Through the Bluegrass Deja Lawson Knows What She's Doing When 17,000 runners and walkers crossed the starting line for the Kentucky Derby Festival marathon and miniMarathon April 30, Deja Lawson wasn't amongst them - but she wasn't just standing on the sidelines, either.

Lawson is the event's race director, overseeing Kentucky's largest road race each year. And there are races within the race - there's the full marathon (26.2 miles), the miniMarathon (13.1 miles) and a team relay event for both distances.

And if managing the logistics of a major endurance event wasn't enough, Lawson also manages five other Kentucky Derby Festival events.

Centered around the greatest two minutes in sports, the Kentucky Derby Festival runs for two weeks leading up to the race itself. More than a dozen different activities offer something for everyone and give the city a lively buzz for days.

Lawson oversees the Great Steamboat Race, the Macy's Kentucky Derby Festival Spring Fashion Show, KDF They're Off Luncheon, Tour de Lou Cycling event and Texas Hold'em.

“Everyone on the event team carries the same load or more,” Lawson said. “This team is truly amazing - 70 events in two weeks!"

Not all of them, though, have to deal with the same challenges.

“I move port-o-potties at 1 a.m. the morning before the race,” she said, “and every year we have a dead opossum somewhere on the course!"

Lawson has spent a decade with KDF, starting in 2006 as an event manager. That weekend, the team is divided between the Great Balloon Race and the miniMarathon/marathon. It was mostly “fun grunt work,” she said - signage and start/finish set-up and tear down.

"I helped the previous race director and the committee with whatever they needed at the time,” she said. "As the years went on I worked on the expo, runner entertainment and committee expansion."

In 2012, she became the race director in a male-dominated industry. While more and more women take over as race directors, including for such big events including New York and Los Angeles, Lawson said it's still a mostly male-dominated industry overall.

“If you look at many of the vendors, suppliers, city services and support for endurance events, the majority of them are operated by men,” she said. "It is

changing, but for a long time it was men talking and negotiating with other men. It is changing, and now within the industry you are starting to see more women in leadership roles or more female-owned businesses that work with races and endurance sports across the country."

In the beginning, she said it was challenging - some contacts wouldn't respond directly to her.

“Once I proved I knew what I was talking about and could negotiate my needs, it was a smooth transition,” she said. "Plus I don't give up easily so eventually they would have deal with me!"

All jokes aside, Lawson notes that women sometimes are able to multitask and delegate more comfortably than men, both traits that help her events be success-

ful.

"I think females can sometimes juggle more at one time and stay focused with multiple issues arise at once, we can delegate without feeling like we are giving up control or that someone else is not in charge,” she said. "It can sometimes be who is marking their territory and I think women think less about that and are more focused on getting the job done.

It didn't take Lawson long to find her footing as race director - in the last 5 years the Marathon has grown 20 percent and the mini has grown about 5.5 to 6 percent.

Camille Estes, a long-time race director in Louisville, said that type of growth is remarkable.

“The market is completely oversaturated right now,” Estes said, referencing the explosion of distance running events. "To see any type of growth at all, especially right now, is incredible."

Estes, former owner of River City Races and participant relations manager for the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon, said Lawson has "to think outside of the box on how to increase participation” and commended her for innovative ideas to do so.

For example, several years ago the races introduced an ambassador program,

recruiting runners of all abilities to help encourage excitement about the race, especially utilizing social media and grassroots marketing.

Lawson also partnered with RunTheBluegrass, a half marathon in Lexington, to create the Kentucky Half Classic, challenging runners to complete both races - in April.

While the race is still 70 percent locals, the other 30 percent hail from across the state and country.

Chad Waggoner, the race committee's elite athlete chair, commended Lawson's ability to manage the desires of both groups.

"Deja is constantly working to showcase our great city with a course that highlights our town to the out of town guest as well as honoring the history of the race for the continuing local,” he said.

Lawson said she thinks the biggest niche, especially for visitors, is running through Churchill Downs - while Derby contenders are getting in their workouts right around you.

Plus, visitors have a great “runcation” opportunity, with the Hot Air Balloon Festival and Fest-a-ville at Waterfront Park - and all the bourbon attractions downtown.

It doesn't matter to Lawson where a participant is from, or how fast they are, Waggoner said.

“Deja is driven to make Derby Festival miniMarathon and Marathon an amazing experience for everyone who toes the line,” he said.

It is truly a team effort, Lawson said.

From her committee - currently comprised of more than 60 people who are "dedicated to working on this event and making sure it is successful” - to her own family, including her boyfriend, sister and parents.

"I call it Voluntold!” Lawson said. "My dad, Tim, is our route operations coordinator, my mom, Kathy, works on the race and fashion show."

Meanwhile, committee members say it's a two-way street.

"It is an honor to work with Deja because she is inspiring,” Waggoner said.

"She challenges us who work the race to be at our best so our runners have an opportunity to run their best. From her tenacity and resilience as a leader to her humor and pleasant personality as a colleague, she makes working the race a true joy and honor."

Tracy Green is a runner and writer living in Louisville, KY, where she lives with her husband, Chris. She is a Hammer Nutrition sponsored athlete and certified Pilates instructor. Find her at @TGRunFit on Twitter and Instagram, Facebook.com/TGRunFit, or TGRunFit.com.

Distance Memories The Running Widow: You're getting fat. You need to start running. (Cindy Ludwig, Summer 1978) So what if I put on a couple of pounds?

The truth of the matter is it wasn't even my fault.

We were newlyweds living in married housing at the University of Florida. We were both attending graduate school and I had a parttime job at the local Burger King where one of the perks was getting to eat for free on the days I worked. In other words a Whopper, large fries and a vanilla shake were at my beck and call four (sometimes five) times a week. And since we were on a budget at the time free meals were a really big deal.

Meanwhile I was monitoring my weight religiously because I had a slight suspicion those four (sometimes five) calorieladen meals every seven days might add up over time. The needle on the scale didn't seem to be moving too far to the right, and the fact I was buying larger pants every six weeks or so never sunk in. Then one day Cindy asked me if I realized the scale was using kilograms as its unit of measure (I didn't) and to make a really

Cindy Ludwig

By Scott Ludwig

long and embarrassing story short the weight I thought I was (168 pounds) was actually 88 kilometers … or ONE-HUNDRED-AND-NINETY-FOUR POUNDS! So again, let me reiterate that it wasn't entirely my fault. Blame Burger King and a possible nationwide conversion to that inane metric system we were threatened with when I was in school.

So I took Cindy's advice and started running. Six months later I was down to 150 pounds and buying pants with the same waistline I wore when I was 13.

Now, almost 40 years later, my weight

www.running.net remains around 150 pounds and I'm still running. So if you look at it from that perspective, the fact that I run isn't necessarily my fault either; more so Cindy's. As for running every day since 1978 -- well, that's entirely my fault because OCD is a bitch and never wants to take the blame for anything. Yep, that one's on me.

To be sure, running every day has proven to be difficult at times. There have been countless reasons for missing a run over the years, yet I've laced up my running shoes every single day, some days more than once. But I didn't do it alone.

I couldn't possibly have done it without Cindy. If there is such a thing as a running widow, it would have to be her. For your consideration: • I wake up at 3 a.m. during the week to run and leave for work before Cindy wakes up, then I normally pass out by 9 p.m., if not earlier. That doesn't give us much time to be together since she doesn't get home until 8. In other words we spend about four hours during the week with one another. I would have to be dead and/or gone for it to be much less. Yet she never complains about the four or five hours every night during the week she spends alone.

• Over the years I've been away at least a portion of more than 800 weekends to run a race. In the earlier days that would constitute several hours on a Saturday morning for a local 5K or 10K; in the latter days an entire weekend to run nothing less than a marathon, most of them in another city, state or in some cases country. Yet Cindy never complains about spending the day (and in some cases days) alone.

• As I always seem to be in a constant state of fatigue and am prone to falling asleep whenever my head rests against anything (a pillow, the back of a couch, the floor), Cindy has never complained about it - even the times when I've done it at the home of one of our friends or that one time in a meeting with our oldest son's second grade teacher.

Aside from all the time she's spent (for lack of a better word) alone, she's also: • Run a little bit herself, including 30 half marathons and one particular 10K while pregnant with our first son.* *She didn't find out she was pregnant until a couple of days after the race, thus not knowing she could have won the prize for 'the fastest time by a pregnant lady' presented by Rod Dixon, the only world class runner Cindy has ever had any interest in meeting.

• Volunteered to help with many of the races I've directed in way too many capacities to list here.

• Made the trip to Honolulu to see me finish my 200th marathon, which was also going to be my last.* *There have been a few more since then.

• Patiently yet reluctantly allowed me to run 60 miles for my 60th birthday; my 'last big thing.' As well as the last big thing after that: Running for 60 hours after I turned 60 years old.

Out of everything Cindy has done to demonstrate her support for my running over the years, the thing that stands out most is that she understands what I'm doing and what I go through every time I head out for a run. I know this to be true because as I was preparing to run 135 miles across Death Valley in the summer of 2003, someone asked Cindy if she was going to be going along with me as part of my support team. Her reply said everything I needed to know that she truly does understand: 'I know Scott will be in pain at times and I'd have a hard time containing my emotions.

I wouldn't want him to see that because that would be bad for HIM.' These days I'm running fewer miles and fewer races and spending a lot more time on things you would expect a sexagenarian (hey now) to do. Working on household projects, spending time with the grandchild and sitting on the front porch watching the world go by are at the top of my list at the moment. As for my running, all that remains is a certain mileage goal that will not be mentioned here and a goal of one day owning the longest consecutive-days running streak in the world. To make those happen all I'll need are two things: (a) some semblance of health and (b) a pulse.

Other than that I'm pretty much taking it easy and ready to do all the things Cindy and I have wanted to do since we started dating during our senior year in high school. No longer will she be the running widow.

Just as soon as I take care of a few remaining loose ends.

Masters Running Running is a Baby Boomer Sport!

There was an article in The Wall Street Journal a few days before this writing, which confirmed what we may have assumed all along - that the number of millennials who run road races have declined in recent years. The article, which cited statistics from Running USA, also mentioned that the total number of race finishers have declined, from an all time high in 2013. There has actually been a slight increase in finishers age 45 and over, but the decrease among younger runners was much larger, resulting in an overall drop in race participation by 9% between the years 2013 and 2015.

Younger runners also tend to be less competitive than the baby boomer generation. We have seen running going from a highly competitive sport when it started to surge in the 1970's, to a noncompetitive pursuit for most participants today. Also, the number of finishers increased exponentially in many races during the 1990's and 2000's, with most of the increase being younger and middle aged women.

If you have been in the sport as long as I have, you have experienced this transformation first hand. Millennials, loosely defined as those born between the early 1980's and year 2000, weren't even born when the first running boom took off in the mid-1970's. At that time running was highly competitive, and races were frequented almost exclusively by people under age 50, most of us younger than 40.

We were baby boomers, plus a few of us born during World War II or before. And we were fast! If I had entered a half marathon in 1978, running the times I do now (just under two hours), I would have held up the rear. The perception at the time was that if we were in our 50's or 60's, we were “too old to run”. At least that's what our doctor most likely would have told us, had we asked him/her whether it would be a good idea to take up running - or jogging, as it would have been called back then.

We baby boomers stayed with the sport throughout the 1980's, with most of us now being in our 30's. As we started to enter our 40's during the latter half of this decade, Masters running suddenly became much more competitive. A separate Masters prize money category was often added to races that did offer money.

I began to really look forward to my 40th

By Lena Hollmann

birthday as I struggled to place in the Open category during my late 30's. And I got puzzled looks and inquisitive comments from non-running friends and colleagues for looking forward to a birthday that they all dreaded.

During the early 1990's we runners were still a considered an oddity in workplaces and at cocktail parties, and our pursuit seen as OK albeit a little crazy.

But then things started to change.

Maybe it was Oprah Winfrey's successful and highly publicized completion of the Marine Corps Marathon in 1994 that started it all. This, plus the fact that the generations following baby boomers had started to grow up. Millennials in particular had been raised to embrace a much less competitive mindset, and were often taught to beleive that the goal was not to win. What mattered was to finish, or just to participate.

The competitive climate that we had seen in the 1970's and 1980's, with emphasis on winning and running a fast time, probably scared some would be runners away. If they didn't have the slender build that is characteristic for most elite runners, if they were older, or if they simply enjoyed running without the pressure of competition, we would not see them at the races. Some might have gone on easy, recreational runs in their neighborhoods.

However they would never enter a competitive event.

But now Oprah was running a marathon! Her time (4:29:15) wasn't spectacular, at least not by elite running standards. But she did it! And many “wanna-be” marathoners must have thought that if Oprah could do it, they could too.

What followed was an upswing in participation at races, mostly by female, noncompetitive runners. Marathons, and

especially half marathons, became much more popular, eventually causing some of the more high profile events to fill up within hours after registration opened.

Brand new events popped up all the time, and filled up too. Along with these new races, the classics (the Boston and New York Marathons, Peachtree Roadrace, etc.) still prevailed, also seeing a surge in numbers. New event management companies emerged, many of them for profit and catering specifically to the noncompetitive runner, offering medals to all finishers and a festive atmosphere. And with so many runners out there, other parts of the running industry benefitted also. There were more running shoes, outfits, and gadgets sold than ever before. Times were great if you were in the running business.

And times are still pretty good.

But within this upward trend in noncompetitive running, there are still some runners who want to challenge themselves at every race, and will toe the starting line with the goal of running this race at least as fast as the last one. And that's us! We masters and baby boomers have become the most competitive in the whole bunch, outdoing younger participants not only in age graded results, but sometimes also in absolute terms.

And this trend is likely to continue. We might soon surpass our younger counterparts not just in quality, but also in quantity at road races. According to the Wall Street Journal article that I mentioned above, the percentage of race finishers who are millennials shrank between 2013 and 2015, from 35% to 33%. And it continues to decrease. Millennials have moved on to other non-competitive exercise regimens, such as a variety of group fitness classes, or weight training. Or they may try nontraditional running events, like color runs or mud runs. They also like variety in their training instead of focusing on one pursuit, such as running, all the time.

But there's one demographic that has recently flocked to running, and that's senior citizens! While frequent runners (defined in the WSJ article as those running 50 or more times per year) decreased among other age groups, or only increased slightly, there was a 25% increase in the number of frequent runners age 65 and older between 2013 and

2015. This increase cannot all come from “holdouts” from the 1970's, especially since some of us have given up running, either voluntarily or because of health issues. And a few have passed away. So inevitably there are folks who discover running as they approach their golden years! Like 60 year old Deborah, who placed in her age group in a race that we both ran on Memorial Day. She told me she had just started running, and was very excited to have won a trophy in her first race.

Statistics don't tell the whole story though, and generalizations don't hold for entire populations or demographics.

There are millennial runners out there who aspire to be the best, and baby boomers who run races purely for recreation. But we all have to cope with changing times. A young elite runner today might not enjoy the same attention, respect, and financial rewards as our generation did. For example, Competitor Group (organizer of the Rock 'n' Roll races) stopped paying appearance fees for professional runners at their events a few years ago, as their focus is on the masses and not the elite.

But as races are adding age groups in the upper end of the spectrum, we old timers are having a ball! We continue to show up at the races, and we still earn trophies. And we become bewildered each time we see that our times would have been fast enough to win some of the much younger age groups. In the 5K I ran on Memorial Day for example, my time of 26:17 was faster than the winning time in the men's 25-29 age group.

What matters in the end though is that we are all out there running, young and old. There were plenty of youngsters age 19 and under in the Memorial Day race, and many of them ran very well. So if I (or someone else) write a similar column in ten years, maybe the theme will be that young people are coming back to running!

He Said, She Said Whose Helping Hands Facilitated Your Running Victory?

Whoops, hollers, cheers and applause are often encouraging and appreciated on race days. There is certainly something special about spectators showing runners support by giving them a hand as they successfully approach the finish line.

Perhaps even more special however, is one having a spouse hold his/her hand while crossing the line together.

This was the experience husband and wife, Danny and Betsy Slay, recently shared at the 9th annual KEYS100 50miler in late May. “We've got hand-holders,” the announcer yelled as the pleased pair passed by the clock to successfully conclude their long, hot trek.

With record high temperatures in the Florida Keys during the couple's ultramarathon run, completing the 50-mile distance was an arduous achievement that was realized after careful preparation, dedicated training, and a little help along the way.

While the couple had each other's assistance during their final concerted strides, they were happy to acknowledge and thank countless others when contemplating this month's running question -“Whose helping hands facilitated your recent running victory?”

He (Danny Slay) Said…

“I wish I could list all of the individuals who did so much for us during our training and race, but the list would go on forever. Will Strouse has provided so much inspiration for me, Randy Fletcher has provided so much knowledge in ultra run-

ning for me, and Kim Joiner ran with us during our training runs “just for fun.”

Sharon and Craig Nance helped and supported us above and beyond,” Danny Slay said before allowing due pause to show his wife gratitude.

“Betsy. She is phenomenal. She has turned into a very capable coach and I thank her most of all,” Danny continued.

Prior to completing the KEYS100 50mile ultra, Danny's longest runs were at the 2015 Tick Tock Ultra in Lakeland, Florida, where he ran 42 miles, and during a training run three weeks prior to the KEYS100 where he, his wife, and a group of running friends completed a 50K along the Fort Fraser trail.

“Betsy and I were part of a relay team for the KEYS100 last year and we had such a great time with that. I took part in the Tick Tock last year and the ultra bug bit me. I always wondered just how far I could go and the ultra challenged me to find out. Betsy and I decided we wanted to try the 50 miles at the KEYS100 this

together and I was so proud of her,” Danny said of his wife, with whom he initially began running years ago, and with whom he started and finished the race on that recent heat-filled May morning.

Assorted assistance and many varied experiences comprise Danny's memory bank of the KEYS100 weekend, but he said that crossing the line hand-in-hand with Betsy was the greatest one.

“It meant that we are still in this together,” Danny said.

She (Betsy Slay) Said…

“Too many people to call out by name, but suffice it to say, we truly have the best running friends ever,” Betsy said.

Rewind 30 years, and you would have found Betsy Slay running 1.5 miles a few times per week when she was in the Air Force from '86 to '92. However, few miles were logged in the years that passed until the summer of 2011 when Betsy and Danny declared their mission to lose weight and get healthy.

“As we lost more and more, we were able to do more and more,” Betsy said.

The body frame that once held 280 pounds is now 110-lbs lighter, and logging ultra marathon-distance miles that Betsy may have never believed possible at one time. But in late 2015, after running both the KEYS100 and the Tick Tock Ultra as part of relay teams and watching individual runners complete the distances, Betsy decided that she would do it, too and she felt confident that she would succeed.

On the KEYS100 race day however, Betsy was surprised to feel her heart rate

year,” Danny said.

While 2015 was the year that the ultra bug sank his tempting teeth into Danny's skin of distance curiosity, 2012 is the year on which Danny reflects as his running relationship's starting point. He first began running to lose weight and get fit in 2011, and ran his first 5k in September of the following year. From a 31-minute finish at that race, Danny continued to improve his speed and take on longer and longer distances over the years that have followed. He and his wife have also found comfort, support, and encouragement in their friendships with fellow runners.

“Along the way, we've met so many new and interesting people, many of whom we now consider our best friends. The running community, especially here in Lakeland, is the most wonderful group of people you'll ever want to meet,” Danny said.

Several of those wonderful people offered Danny their helpful hands during his 50-mile journey. Craig Nance crewed, and other runners from Lakeland cheered along the way. Of course, Danny said it was his wife Betsy who actually got him across the finish line at the end of the long, hot day.

“She wanted to run across the finish line but I could not run at all. She grabbed my hand and we walked across the line CONTINUED ON PAGE 22

Women’s Running Reflections On Nearly Four Decades Of Running As I near my 40th year of running, I find myself remembering some of the simpler times in our sport. When I started running, not many women ran and when I coached in middle school before I actually laced up a pair of shoes (1975), girls were actually not allowed to run more than the 880 in middle school track competition.

I began running while finishing my masters degree at the University of South Florida. I had moved into the coed dorm for the summer to finish my degree and after being a full time teacher, coach, student, wife and mother, I had nothing to do but go to classes. I remember buying a pair of Converse shoes and to my dismay not being able to make it around the track one time on my first run. There were no running clothes, so I ran in shorts and a tube top.

That worked for me.

By the end of my summer I was able to run an hour or more but I had no idea what I was doing. There were no books, the internet was not around and running stores were few and far between. My husband said I looked like a funky chicken on the track.

By Carolyn Mather, RN, PhD.

Moving to Tallahassee and starting my doctorate, I managed to find a Phidipides store and bought a pair of men's waffle trainers.

Fortunately for me the Gulf Winds Track had a few women runners and we had coach Tim Simpkins. So I began to train and get prepared for a marathon. I moved to a Danskin leotard and some nylon shorts. I remember Rocket City race director Harold Tinsley telling me at my first marathon in Huntsville that I definitely got attention with my rather risquĂŠ outfit. My red leotard and white nylon shorts with a red stripe down the side became a trademark of sorts.

moved into the 80s. Shorts got shorter and companies like Moving Comfort began designing running clothing for women.

Running on the Atlanta Track Club Competitive team we secured Moving Comfort for a sponsor after making do with Sub 4. Bun huggers emerged from the college ranks and fast ladies wore buns and jog bras, especially for racing.

In the early 90s I moved into a one piece speed suit for racing and once heard a woman at a race in north Georgia stating "that woman is running in a swim suit." I must admit it made me feel faster and really intimidated other ladies. I suppose it also helped that I was fairly speedy!! I stayed in the one-piece style for well over a decade into the 21st century.

I actually remember after a race in Jasper, GA, cooling down with Michelle LaFleur and being stopped by the police, asking us if we needed a ride as we should not be out in public so scantily clad. We continued our cool down and were not arrested!

I am amazed at all that has changed since those first simple days of running. Women now outnumber men in the ranks of running. Clothing has emerged in all forms and fits for all sizes. Runners are stylish now and have a multitude of choices. Materials wick away sweat. Shoes come in all

I placed second overall female in that first marathon and won a boom box in a Boston qualifying time of 3:17. The women's standard had been lowered to 3:20 from 3:30 for any and all women that year.

All men had to run sub 2:50. I had only heard you should qualify for Boston but it was over a decade before I actually ran Boston.

It was the winter of 1985 when Priscilla Welch gave me one of the first jog bras ever manufactured. I believe I still have it somewhere. It was a bright blue and quite a change from the cumbersome running bras.

She was living with me and training in the warm weather of Florida to escape the winter cold of Boulder. Of course I decided it was nice enough to wear by itself, thus setting off another round of trend setting (ie "that lady is running half naked"). I must say I continued to run in the leotard and tube top so I was never the keep covered up type. It is hot in Florida and men did not even have to wear tops!! I believed in equal rights for all runners within reason.

The times really started a changing as we CONTINUED ON PAGE 23

Learning from the Young Guns Southeastern Region Guide to the Olympic Trials A few months ago the first US Olympic distance runners were selected at the Olympic Marathon Trials in Los Angeles.

The track and field world will descend upon Hayward Field in Eugene, OR, the first 10 days of July to select the remaining members of the US Track and Field Olympic Team. Outside of the Olympic Games, the US Olympic Trials is the most competitive and exciting event in track and field, and the men and women from the southeastern United States figure to play a pivotal roll in the distance running events.

In the men's 1500m, Maryland native Matt Centrowitz is perhaps the heaviest favorite of anyone in the region to land a spot on the Olympic team, despite a stress reaction that delayed the start of his outdoor track season. With a gold medal in his pocket from the World Indoor Championships in March, Centrowitz is the one man in the field who can afford to be less than 100% and still make the team.

Robby Andrews, a graduate of the University of Virginia and another favorite in the men's 1500m, made his first US team last year and finished the season 11th in the world. Andrews is in good form again in 2016 and his world class finishing speed is lethal in championship racing.

Jenny Simpson, the 2011 World Champion and 2013 silver medalist, graduated high school in Florida, and must be considered the favorite in the women's 1500m. Simpson leads a charge of women with strong ties to the region including former Duke All-American and American record holder, Shannon Rowbury. If Rowbury finds her form from last year she could very well win her 3rd US title and take down Simpson. Joining Simpson and Rowbury on podium at last year's US Championships was Washington, DC resident Kerri Gallagher. Gallagher burst on the scene in 2015 and will be looking to replicate that performance to land a spot on the Olympic team. Facing a tough field, Virginia native and University of Tennessee graduate, Sarah Brown, will bring one of the most inspirational stories to Eugene, whether she makes the Olympic team or not, as she will be competing 4 months postpartum.

The women's steeplechase will feature 7 of the top 10 women in US history including the American Record holder and prohibitive favorite, Emma Coburn.

By Ryan Warrenburg, ZAP Fitness

Not far behind Coburn however, expect to see Greenville, SC, resident Stephanie Garcia. Garcia finished 2nd to Coburn at last year's US Championships and has shown great fitness already in 2016 making her a clear favorite to make her first Olympic team. Joining Garcia and Coburn on last year's World Championship team was Florida State grad and former NCAA champion Colleen Quigley. In her first full season as a professional Quigley will be looking to the top 3 for the second consecutive year.

The 3 favorites for the men's steeplechase all made the final at the World Championships last year, but there are a few men from the region looking to dethrone the favorites and punch a ticket to Rio led by Greenville, SC's, Cory Leslie. Leslie possesses world-class 1500m speed and a new steeplechase PR that indicates he is in peak form. In 2012 Winston-Salem resident Donnie Cowart finished 4th at the Olympic Trials. In 2016 Cowart will be looking to turn his 4th place heartache into elation by moving up one slot into the top 3.

The men's 5000m was another event where the US put 3 men in the final at the World Championships last year, and North Carolina native Ryan Hill is expected to lead the charge as the defending US champion. A furious finisher, Hill also boasts a silver medal from this year's World Indoor Championships at 3,000m.

Former UNC-Greensboro standout Paul Chelimo joined Hill on the US Indoor Team this winter and will be in the mix to make his first Olympic team.

Nicole Tully, a native of Del Ray Beach, FL�, was the surprise winner at the US Championships last year at 5,000m, but she won't be sneaking up on anyone this year. She will have her hands full to repeat, especially if American Record holder Molly Huddle runs both the 5k and

10k, but Tully has already run faster than she did a year ago, and that makes her a strong bet for a top 3 finish. For an under the radar pick keep an eye on Lauren Paquette, an Arkansas native and current Memphis resident, whose recent move to the 5k has her as the 3rd fastest US performer this outdoor track season.

In one of the most talked about finishes at the World Championships last year, Georgetown graduate Emily Infeld closed hard to nip a celebrating Molly Huddle at the finish for the bronze medal. It's rare that the world bronze medalist wouldn't be the favorite at the Trials, but Huddle remains the odds on pick to win. Infeld however, remains a heavy favorite to make the Olympic team and will look to turn that World Championship bronze to an Olympic medal in Rio. Perhaps the biggest favorite of anyone in the distance events is defending 10,000m silver medalist Galen Rupp.

Don't expect anyone on this list to challenge Rupp, but there are a couple of dark horse candidates with southeastern ties.

Sam Chelanga, a Liberty University graduate, has a PR that would make him a favorite, but it's been 6 years since he ran close to that mark. Charlotte resident and US 25k record holder, Christo Landry, could also be a factor if he is able to translate his road racing success to the track.

From July 1st-10th Eugene, OR, will play host to the most anticipated championship on the planet outside the Olympic Games. Track and field athletes are given one race every four years to realize their dream of becoming an Olympian. With stakes that high the racing in Eugene will be as intense and captivating as any in sport.

THIS RUNNING LIFE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 plays the scene over and over in her mind.

Her husband, Scott, is a runner, too, and recently completed his first 100-mile ultra marathon. When they run together, he moves a little faster but is always within screaming distance. A social runner, when Kara's not running with Scott, she's usually with a pack of friends.

“It was 5:40 when I got on the trail, and there was still plenty of daylight,” she reasoned. “Maybe if I had run in the other direction, it would not have happened.”

She went on to file a police report, posted her experience on Facebook, and seeks opportunities to talk about it in an effort to remind runners to always be aware of their surroundings.

And of course it is not her fault.

Kara, 43, has been running for three years.

“When I was turning 40, I wanted to do something to get healthier,” she said. A non-runner, she remembers getting upset at her boot camp exercise classes when the coach ordered the group to run.

Then she and a friend joined the Galloway marathon program in Raleigh.

Her first marathon was Marine Corps.

Life had gotten in the way of her training regimen and she was under-trained when

presented by:

she showed up at the marathon starting line.

“I had only trained up to 18 miles, and at mile 20 of the marathon, I was ready to quit,” she said. “Then Jeff Galloway came along with his wife and they wouldn't let me quit.”

So the famous runner and his wife worked Kara into their run-walk interval cadence and ran her in.

Since it is a rare situation when Jeff Galloway comes along to rescue your run, and sometimes it's not practical to run with friends after work, everyone needs to have a plan, according to Paula O'Neal of Raleigh, a runner, former race director and retired police officer.

“Know your greenways and where they go before you run. Have a planned route or area,” she suggests.

We always have the best of intentions, but sometimes we just don't think about getting into harms way when we go outside to exercise. Or we think it won't happen to us.

Deadlines dictate my schedule, and I often find myself grabbing a few miles alone. It's not perfect, but I have my own familiar places where I feel comfortable depending on the day and the time.

It is easy to get preoccupied after work, especially if you have had a stressful day.

Some people tell me they use their running time to plan their schedules, solve

problems, develop ideas, and strategize about projects. When I run, I like to listen to podcasts to take my mind off the cares and worries of the day.

I think many women, and possibly a few men, have had their share of scary moments.

After running in Raleigh for the past 10 years, I have my favorite go-to places that are populated and safe immediately after work until about 6:30 p.m. Any later than that, I take to the sidewalks in local safe neighborhoods, including my own. There I will find plenty of other runners, walkers, and people working in their yards for company.

In addition to advising runners to know as much about their targeted running venue as possible, Paula offers a list of other helpful tips to stay safe while running.

Even the most experienced runners can get caught off guard and safety reminders never hurt.

• Appoint a contact buddy - let someone know a) where you park, b) where you are running and how far, c) start time, and d) remember to contact your buddy when you are done. If you don't contact them by a certain time, discuss ahead of time what actions steps they should take to ensure your safety.

• Alter your route, especially if you run the same time each day.

• Do not run alone if possible - if you are running alone, pick a more populated greenway or running trail in your home town.

• Run with your phone if possible.

• Don't run with earphones in both ears if running alone so you can be more aware of your surroundings.

• Don't let routine make you complacent in any area.

• Carry runner mace.

If you belong to a run club, consider inviting a local police officer, or park ranger to offer advice about safe places to run in your own community and answer questions about safety in your own town.

Kara is a nice person who either has a Pollyanna outlook on life and her fellow man, or she just can't bear to contemplate what might have happened if the man who approached her on the greenway had not run away when she screamed.

“I don't think he had an intention of hurting me,” Kara said, and added she probably could have just kept running without raising such a fuss.

Paula would say she did the right thing.

Of course, there are no guarantees no matter where you run, but keeping a laser focus on safety will help you enjoy a healthy and fun summer.

Inspired Daily Boston The New Way Worked Well New Boston Marathon!?! The race just celebrated the 120th running! I just celebrated my sixth time completing it. When I say “The New Boston Marathon,� I am referring to how this year was a whole new experience for me.

Boston 2016 was my second fastest finish at Boston ever and I have run it in 1997, 1998, 2001, 2011 and 2014 with my Boston PR happening in 1998. This year I ran even splits and was able to finish strong - something I don't remember ever happening before. While everyone has her own unique experience, I really wanted to share my 2016 adventure because it was so different than all previous years. And if anyone can take away something useful from my experiences, I feel that I am doing my small part to give back to our incredible running community.

Probably the most important thing I did preparing for Boston 2016 was to plan my training 18 weeks out from race day. In the past, I would wait until after the late January Celebration Marathon (which is an awesome race!) to take 1-2 weeks recovery

By Rae Ann Darling Reed

and then try to cram in 9-10 weeks of marathon training in addition to lots of road races.

February and March are loaded with great local races that I just cannot seem to resist. I reviewed my training logs and decided to make changes in hopes of a different and better result than at past Boston Marathons. The last two (2011 and 2014) were still recent enough that I could remember the terrible struggle to finish, having to walk, and then the days of muscle

EAT WELL, RUN WELL

What Should I Weigh?

Don’t let Runners commonly ask me "What should I weigh?" -- as if I had a crystal ball. Although I could look at weight charts, I find charts to often be misleading; each runner's body is unique. I prefer to suggest an appropriate weight range for a runner based on a conversation with them, not by looking at a chart. Yet, many runners pick a number that sounds good for their ideal weight.

Sound familiar?

Achieving an arbitrary number can be a relentless task, particularly if you are in a sport that focuses on leanness, such as running, light-weight rowing, cycling, etc.. While “lighter is better” is true to a certain extent, you want to take into account: 1) your genetics; the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.

2) the fact that the bathroom scale weighs both muscle and fat.

3) your quality of life (very low, if you are trying to attain a weight that requires relentless white-knuckling of hunger).

I frequently help runners figure out what a good weight is for them. If you have a similar concern, here are my answers to some weight-related questions my clients commonly ask me.

Q. I am “obese” according to the BMI charts. My doctor tells me to lose 20 pounds. I am muscular; I lift weights! I don't think I have 20 pounds of fat to lose. Do you???

A: Body Mass Index (BMI) does not reflect body fatness. You can have a high BMI with low body fat. BMI simply is a ratio of body weight adjusted for height. (BMI = weight in pounds/(height in inches x height in inches) x 703). Given that muscular athletes have more mass (and also heavier bones) than scrawny people, many athletes get classified as “obese” by the BMI charts. Don't worry!

Q. My weight fluctuates a lot -- from 122 pounds in the morning to 127 pounds in the afternoon. Is that normal?

A: Yes, you can easily gain 5 pounds during a day -- but it's not 5 pounds of fat. It's 5 pounds of water and food. Just drinking a 16-ounce bottle of plain water will contribute to one pound of weight-gain on the scale. That's because your stomach is like a balloon: light when filled with air, heavy when filled with water.

Hence, the only time to weigh yourself to get a true weight is first thing in the morning, after you have gone to the bathroom and before you eat or drink anything. Not at the end of the day.

If you compulsively weigh yourself two or three times a day, give it up! You won't benefit from driving yourself crazy by seeing your weight go higher and higher during the day. You might want to hide the scale in the trunk of your car, and use it only once a week, if at all. Your better bet is to judge weight changes by how you feel, if your clothes are looser, and if you see less fat in the mirror.

Q. People tell me I look great, but I don't believe them. I think they are just being kind. How can I know if my weight is OK? A. Maybe you want to get your body fat measured? That would give you an indication of how much excess fat you have, if any. Alternatively, you could ask a trusted friend if you should try to lose more weight. You might be surprised to learn you actually do look great, believe it or not. While the possibility exists that person is lying, the possibility also exists that person is telling the truth. Ask a few more people to get their opinions.

Majority rules.

When trying to figure out if you are too fat, please pay attention to your genetics. Humans, like dogs, come in differing sizes and shapes. Just as the dog kingdom includes St. Bernards, greyhounds and bulldogs, the human kingdom includes people from Kenya, Ireland and Mexico, all of whom have genetically different physiques and levels of body fatness. Maybe you are like a St. Bernard: strong and powerful -- and a great athlete.

nutrition be your By Nancy Clark, M.S., R.D.

Q. I've lost 40 pounds and I'd like to lose another 10 pounds but I have hit a plateau. I'm so frustrated…

A, Plateaus are indeed frustrating for dieting runners who can't quite get to their fighting weight. Those last few pounds can be tough to shed. Research suggests dieters do not hit a plateau due to metabolic issues. Rather, they find it hard to sustain a lower and lower calorie intake. That is, a lighter body requires fewer calories. Eating less and less is not much fun, is it? If you are battling a weight-loss plateau, these suggestions might be helpful: -Assess if you really do have more fat to lose. Maybe what you see as “fat” is actually “flesh” (with empty fat cells)? This is particularly true for reduced-obese people who have lost 100 pounds or so and they have a lot of skin flapping around their mid-section.

-Pay attention to how much you are actually eating. Baby carrots can be a healthy snack for dieters, but carrots are not “free.”

If you eat the whole 16-ounce bag of carrots, you are eating 175 calories. Even “healthy foods” have calories that add up and need to be counted.

- Perhaps you have become a “sedentary athlete.” That is, after you fervently exercise for an hour each morning, do you then sit for the rest of the day? One hour of exercise does not compensate for a day dominated by sedentary behavior. Maybe an exercise tracker or a step counter could inspire you to move more during the entire day?

- Perhaps you could start lifting weights (if you do not already do so) to build muscle. Muscle is an active tissue that burns calories. The more muscle you have, the more food you can eat. By restoring muscle lost while dieting, you become stronger -- and boost your calorie burn.

Words of Wisdom: If you need help determining an appropriate weight for your body, get an unbiased opinion from a registered dietitian (RD). To find a local sports RD, use the referral network at SCANdpg.org. And please, be grateful for your body, even if it is heavier than you might choose.

Ultra Running Another 100-miler in the Books 'I set out to run 100 miles a few weeks ago at the Dawn to Dusk to Dawn ultras in Sharon Hills PA. This version hosted a 50 kilometer, a 12 hour and a 24 hour. I ran this event many years ago when it was “only” a 12 hour. One of the great things about our sport is longevity. The Delco Road Runners Club still sponsored this event, as they had in the start in the early 1980s.

I was interested in the 24 hour because I wanted to run 100 miles in a day. Completing this task would mean that I would have run 100 miles in a day in my 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s. That would pair well with my 100 miles in a day performances in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and the current decade.

I felt this should be an easy 100, a nice flat track, trusted chip timing, complete with back-up system provided by Mike Melton, and experienced runners and race directors in the persons of Bill Schultz and Josh Irvan. Of course there are those who say there is no such thing as an easy 100.

The race began with me still in the porta-potty.

As a result my first lap was over 4 minutes. I quickly got into a groove, however, and completed my first 20 laps in 51:20. I will report my splits here in 20 lap increments, which is 8K, not quite 5 miles, but tidy for examination. My second 20 laps took 55:10; I was running 11-minute miles, with the effort of 8s.

I reexamined my plans and realized I was in for a long day. I would get few, if any breaks if I wanted 100 miles. Little things became important. The Valley Forge Military Academy Cadets, who were a great group of students volunteering at the race, had set up water stations at two places on the track.

These were in the addition to the official aid station. Talk about coddled, three aid stations every 400 meters. Nevertheless, that was not enough for some of us. To get anything except water we needed to cross the track, for those wanting soft drinks, a staple of my fuel/hydration plan, that trip across the track cost vital seconds. This was mentioned to Josh and Bill, and soon enough the Valley Forge Cadets offered soft drinks as well. That may have saved my run, and added mileage to all but the few runners who had dedicated handlers.

My third 20 lap segment took 1:09:00, but included an 11:45 lap when I dug out and changed shoes. That would be my second longest lap of the race. The next segment took 1:10:14. I lost a little time at the 4 hour mark as I walked a lap taking pictures of the runners as we changed direction.

That was one of few laps I walked during the event.

I was not running (shuffling) much faster than I could walk, but I find it more efficient. I do not walk fast, and it hurts more than the shuffle, so shuffle I did. It had also gotten hot. My fifth segment took 1:07:56. At that point I slowed some.

My next three segments were run in 1:15:53, 1:13:13 and 1:13:44. I had passed the marathon

Since 1984 we’ve

about 5:35, 50K in 6:46:57. 40 miles would be about 9 hours. Some quick math showed I would be well over 11 hours for 50 miles.

I have often said one could double their 11 hour split to project 24 hours. I needed to be beyond 50 miles. The weather suddenly cooperated. The rains came, hard at times, and cooling. I focused on 50 miles and picked up the pace. My next 20 lap split was 1:06:35 at 10:02:04 of the event. The rain continued and I ran the next 20 laps in 53:09. I crossed 202 laps (just beyond 50 miles) in 10:59:50.

I relaxed a little at that point, but still wanted a “good” 100K time. My next two segments were 1:07:32, 1:10:34 which carried me to 240 laps. I reached 250 laps, 100 kilometers, in 13:47:59…. and crashed. The rain had stopped, it was hot again. The section took 1:29:41 and included my slowest lap of the race at 20:51 (lap 258) when I changed into dry shoes and clothing. (Assuming a 4 minute running lap and 16 minutes for the stop the segment would have been 1:13, right in line with my shuffle pace.)

Once I hit 260 laps I knew I could complete the 100 miles, if I could keep moving another 9 hours 17 minutes without breaks and stay awake. I found a trick in the wee hours of the morning as I was staggering around half asleep that worked nicely.

Pam Smith, the eventual race winner with 143 miles, was running about 2 laps to my one. She was amazingly running laps in the low 2:00s and on pace for the Women's world record for 100 miles. So, every other time she passed me I would pick up the pace and follow her for a lap. That kept my heart rate and respiration up, and kept me from falling asleep.

My next set of splits, though slow were consistent. Through the night I ran 20 lap splits of 1:13:04, 1:15:30, 1:17:39, 1:15:11, 1:18:20 and 1:16:33. Dawn found me with almost 1 _ hours to run and needing only 23 more laps to 100 miles. I ran the next 20 to 400 in 1:14:14. Three laps later I was past 100 miles, which is a little shy of 403, but 403 is used for simplicity sake. My “official 100 mile split was 23:44:56.8.

I continued another four laps in 3:33, 3:30, 3:39 and a final lap of 4:19.6 to finish at 23:59:59.2. I guess I used about all the available time. Since then I have been training, after all I have another 100 in a few weeks. Perhaps I can stay up all night again…

Olympic, World Champion Marathoners To Run Peachtree ATLANTA – A rematch of the closest finish in the history of the AJC Peachtree Road Race, the best women’s marathon runners in the world and a U.S. Olympian coached by a Peachtree champion headline the elite fields at the 47th AJC Peachtree Road Race on July 4 in Atlanta.

In the closing meters of last year’s race, Ben Payne (Colorado Springs, CO), pumped his fist to celebrate what appeared to be an inevitable win only to be chased down by Scott Overall (Great Britain). The image of the British distance star leaning at the line to break the tape and steal the victory from the U.S. Air Force pilot was seen around the world.

The Brit and American will battle it out again this Independence Day. They will be joined on the starting line of the world’s largest 10K by U.S. Olympic Marathon team member Jared Ward (Provo, UT).

Ward, who placed third at the Olympic Marathon Trials in February, will compete as part of his buildup for the Olympic Marathon in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this August.

“The Olympic games are the big prize” said Ward, whose coach Ed Eyestone won the 1991 AJC Peachtree Road Race. “But my road to Rio will go through Atlanta on July 4."

Two-time World Marathon Champion Edna

Kiplagat (Kenya) leads a group of the world’s best marathoners who will step down in distance to vie for the title in the women’s elite race.

Kiplagat, who has also won the London, New York City and Los Angeles Marathons, will face fellow Los Angeles Marathon winner Buzunesh Deba (Ethiopia). Kiplagat and Deba are two of just 20 women in history to break 2:20 in the marathon.

Also competing will be Kim Smith who holds New Zealand’s national record in the marathon. Smith has competed in three Olympic Games at three different distances (5,000m, 10,000m and marathon).

Neely Spence Gracey (Boulder, CO) will attempt to claim victory for the United States. Gracey is racing for the first time since finishing as top American in the 2016 Boston Marathon, her debut at that distance.

“Being part of the world’s largest 10K where so many people are celebrating the sport of running is going to be an incredible experience,” said Gracey, whose father won a bronze medal at the World Marathon Championships in 1991.

The top man and woman to cross the finish line will have their names engraved in the Peachtree Cup. They will also take home $7,500 each, part of the overall prize purse of $57,000.

Spa Pacers Dedicate Fountain in Memory of Two Runners HOT SPRINGS, AR - The Spa Pacers of Hot Springs have dedicated a water fountain in memory of Danny Williams and Brent Morrison, two members who died in 2015.

The fountain was installed by the City of Hot Springs at the Transportation Depot after the Spa Pacers board approved funding. It has a spigot to fill water bottles as well as dog bowls.

“These two men showed us how to live our lives through running (that they both dearly loved) and encouraging others. This is just a small way to never forget our two running friends,” said a statement from the club.

Written on the accompanying plaque: - Danny Williams. “Nice Running with You.” - Brent Morrison. “Living the Dream."

Spa Pacers has 199 members, 28 of whom are new this year.

RRCA Welcomes Joan Benoit Samuelson to the Board of Directors Arlington, VA – Road Runners Club of America (RRCA), the oldest and largest national association of running organizations dedicated to growing the sport of running since 1958, is pleased to announce the appointment of running legend Joan Benoit Samuelson to its Board of Directors.

The RRCA is governed by a 9-person board of directors, typically elected by the membership during the organization’s annual meeting. Benoit Samuelson was appointed, according to RRCA Bylaws, by President Mitchell Garner to serve in the At-Large Director position that was open following the election of At-Large Director Jean Arthurto the Vice President position in March 2016.

In 1984, the eyes of the world were watching Benoit Samuelson when the Bowdoin College grad won the inaugural women’s Olympic Marathon in Los Angeles. Since that historic running moment, she has remained an influential figure and a role model in the running world and women’s athletics.

One of Maine’s most recognizable athletes, Benoit Samuelson serves as an inspiration for runners and athletes of all ages around the world. In 1998, she founded the TD Beach to Beacon 10K Road Race to benefit children’s charities in Maine. Today, the TD Beach to Beacon 10K, an RRCA event member, is a 'must do' summer event on the calendars of elite runners around the globe as well as recreational runners throughout New England. Benoit Samuelson ran many of the same coastal roads while growing up in Cape Elizabeth and training for the first women’ Olympic Marathon.

“Joan brings a wealth of knowledge to the RRCA Board of Directors from the perspective of an elite athlete, Masters runner, sport’s ambassador, event director and much more,” said Mitchell Garner, RRCA President. “RRCA Board service is another great example of how Joan supports the sport of running for all ages and abilities.

Meet the RRCA Board Benoit Samuelson joins RRCA directors, which includes: Mitchell Garner, President (Ann Arbor Track Club member), Jean Arthur, Vice President (Montgomery County Road Runners Club member), Craig Minyard, Treasurer (Richmond Road Runners Club member), Dwight Mikulis, Eastern Region Director (Howard County Striders member), Sue Brown-Nickerson, Central Region Director (Calumet Region Striders member), Ron Macksoud, Southern Region Director (River Region Runners member), George Rehmet, Western Region Director (Pamakids Running Club member) and Kelly Richards, At-Large Director (Lake Grapevine Runners and Walkers member).

Running Journal • July, 2016

Running Through the Age Groups On Reinventing Oneself Upon reading Rae Ann Darling Reed's article in this past month's Journal, I began to seriously consider what will become of me when I hear those hopefully-not but most likely words, “No more running for you.”

Now, of course, being in my “youthful” mid-40's and thus feeling, as my husband so eloquently puts it, “ten feet tall and bullet-proof,” I don't really think I am ever going to hear those words. Heck, I don't really think I'm ever going to die! I just figure I'll keep on running and racing through my 100's and 1,000's! Hah! Yeah, right! On July 4, I turn 46. That is almost 50. That is almost a half-century. Yikes!

Since writing my last article, we experienced a major life-change; we finally sold my home-place on the waterway. That was a huge emotional and financial step for us, but what we didn't realize was how all consuming the property had been. For those of you who've read my recent past articles, you might recall the things we've been through with this property. I won't again belabor those details, but suffice it to say that divesting ourselves of the property has created more free time than I am accustomed to having, and - quite frankly - I find myself at a bit of a loss as to what to do with the rest of my life!

Fortunately, through the majority of the time I've spent administering my parents' estate, excepting for one setback earlier this year, my running has served as my faithful companion for stress relief during what has been an emotionally harrowing four years. Now, however, with much of the stress gone and finally being pain-free, I'm having to fight the temptation to over-train and run too much mileage too fast. This is a vicious cycle to which I'm sure many of you can relate; it is so easy to overdo it when things are feeling right, and you either can't or won't heed signs to back off in time to prevent injury, illness or burnout.

In over 35 years of running, I have yet to learn this lesson!

Now that my parents' estate is no longer a full-time job, what do I do with my life?

Hubby Rob, being at another phase of life at age 65, finds complete contentment in retirement. I am envious! I remain in the, as he terms it, “empire-building” phase.

My challenge lies in how to reinvent my life without constraining myself to a rigid schedule which would cause more stress and chagrin to both of us. Hmmm. Rob suggested I pursue my Ph.D. in physics, but that would likely require a move to another city and, moreover, I imagine this endeavor would be time-consuming. Assuming I

on that subject in my next article). If you find yourself itching for something different or looking for new meaning in your life, I urge you to use the summer to take stock and consider the possibilities. By the fall, you may find yourself on a completely unexpected and wonderful path in your running and your life.

As a postscript, I am extremely thankful that, after all the heartache, stress and hard work, we've managed to ensure that three of my folks' properties are going to “better homes.” The home-place on the waterway has sold to a wonderful and interesting couple who can't wait to build their dream home; I feel we will become fast friends.

Due to the sheer size of the property, we had resigned ourselves to the probability that it would be split and developed, and that as a result some of its gorgeous features would be destroyed. That is now not going to happen.

Second, I inherited a small house, in a downtrodden part of town, which had been occupied by my family's old housekeeper.

When she passed away, we were faced with the probability of having to either auction the dilapidated property or spend significant money on renovations before marketing it. Then, as if by providence, we were approached by an outfit which buys these types of properties, renovates and then resells them. We jumped at the opportunity to unload this property, and now it is being transformed from an eyesore to a little dollhouse, which will improve the neighborhood. Wonderful!

Finally, we have a piece of out-of-county property which my family had used as timberland and for hunting. After trying unsuccessfully to timber the property ourselves, we marketed it for sale and, lo and behold, it as being purchased by the State for preservation! It is a gorgeous piece of property - about 200 acres -- right on the river, and we feel wonderful that, once again, it is going to be in good hands and thankfully - out of our hands!

Happy July, and 'til next time, keep runnin'!

were to secure said Ph.D., then what? This is a tough choice because I'm a hopeless physics-nerd, and I did devote a great deal of time and effort to securing my undergraduate degrees in physics and mathematics while at the same time running my law practice during the early 2000's. I must admit that recent research into the nature of the universe has me positively treed; I have a few theories of my own on which I would relish the opportunity to expound.

Speaking of the law, that is no real option for me because, frankly, I hate conflict and it seems I cannot find a niche in that profession which does not ultimately involve fighting. There is, of course, writing, which I love, but it's hard to break into the big gigs. Rob wants to write a novel and I think he can do it; he has the talent.

My talent lies exclusively in research and expository writing.

So, that brings me back to running. My Old Faithful. God help me on the day I can no longer run. Of course, there are other options which involve running without actually running -- coaching, perhaps with my Without Limits Endurance Team as a volunteer, or perhaps even a paying position if I become certified. There are countless other opportunities, including helping out with races, Special Olympics, Relay for Life, Team in Training, Senior Olympics, Junior Olympics, helping out with high school and college track and cross country.

Perhaps I could write a book on running.

The possibilities are truly endless!

Turning to running itself, I'm always up for a challenge, and absolutely love finding unusual events like the kayakalon about which I wrote last month. Heck, I've even considered training for a Spartan race or Mary Margaret, who lives at Wilmington, training for American Ninja Warrior, NC, can be reached at although Rob is afraid I may hurt myself mmmceachern@bellsouth.net. permanently if I make good on those “ludicrous” notions!

With all these potential ideas swirling around in my head, I've determined to take at least the summer to decompress a little, take a hiatus from “formal” training and concentrate on the sheer joy in living. If you let it, life can be truly amazing (more

INSPIRED DAILY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12 soreness aftewards. A combination of not being fully prepared and going out too fast got the best of me both of those years.

Just before Christmas 2015 I began 18 weeks dedicated to Boston. I followed the Hansons Marathon Method advanced plan again since it has worked so well for me so many times. I committed to a minimum of two days a week of strength training, doing the same physical therapy strength exercises I mentioned in my April column titled “Adapt and Succeed.” Despite living in very flat southwest Florida, I ran many of my quality workouts over hills. I would drive to the biggest bridge in our area to run my Tuesday workouts of 1, 2, or 3 mile repeats a little faster than goal marathon pace as well as my Thursday workouts of 6-10 miles at goal marathon pace. Passersby may have thought I was a little crazy as I ran back and forth and back and forth trying to get in as many miles up and down the bridge as possible. As we all know, “hills are speed work in disguise.” Frank Shorter During the winter and early spring I still raced and actually set new Masters PRs in the 10K and half marathon, which definitely boosted my confidence. Then the night before the Boston Marathon I sat down to review my race plan. It helps me to know what my pace per mile will be or should be for each section of the race. I kept it similar to my Last Chance BQ.2 Chicagoland Marathon race plan but once I started running on Marathon Monday, I knew that old race plan was too conservative. I was both nervous about going out too fast yet also felt confident in my improved fitness level. The marathon can be such a mind game!

Ultimately, I hovered right around my goal pace with some a little fast and some a little slow mostly based on the terrain. I told myself to just maintain the pace that my body knew so well until I reached 22 miles then if I felt okay I could pick it up. I was able to pick it up slightly but even a well executed race at Boston leaves your legs battered so I was happy to just maintain. I finished strong, was able to walk back to our hotel, and after a few minutes of light stretching I was up and ready to explore the city. Delayed onset muscle soreness usually hits me the hardest two days later but I barely had light quad soreness this year. I was able to walk down stairs and walk all around the city with no problem.

Adequate time to prepare, a solid training program, consistent strength training, especially for the legs and core, and running many of the harder training days on hills really worked for me this year. I plan to repeat the process and run every Boston the new way.

Train strong, finish strong, Boston Strong!

Running Fitness Defining Your Milestones May is full of graduations ... a time of transition. A time of new beginnings.

When I applied for Social Security benefits recently, that seemed like a huge transition. Although one friend kindly posted on one of the 11 Facebook pages I admin, "What disability do you have ... refusing to look and act anywhere near your age?"

I've been accused of lying to get into my 55+ only community. People refuse to believe I look anything near my age. Ask your doc if plants are right for you.

And so May was full of milestones ... placing in my 100th and 101st 5K races for my age group since 2006 "just" on plants. The 100th occurred at the DeSoto Parade, a race through downtown Bradenton, Florida right before an annual parade. Billed as "the closest you may ever get to the Boston Marathon," it was fun to run before an audience the entire way. Ironic that this was my 100th milestone, given that it was the first race I ran 10 years ago, terrified, and quite sure I would place last. I didn't. You almost never do.

I never set out to break any records. But when I kept wearing my vegan shirts and held age group awards in hand some would say, "You can't run on a vegan diet," I realized it was important to keep competing to show that not only can you run on a vegan diet, but you get quick recovery, fewer injuries, great energy and little, if any arthritis. As I have jumped age groups, I see my meat-eating women friends dropping out of my age group from arthritis, and joint and muscle issues that vegans tend not to get. Arthritis doctors and organizations have long gone on record saying to reduce joint inflammation, reduce animal product consumption.

That includes not only meat, but anything that has animal protein ... dairy, eggs, chicken, pork and fish. There are so many animal product alternatives now that taste way better than the soy analogues I had to eat 35 years ago when I began this journey, there's no reason not to go vegan, and every reason to make that choice.

Especially for the animals.

I often say in my talks that the reason so many more kids are vegan now is because they grew up in the YouTube generation.

All the vegan landmark movies are available on line such as "Forks Over Knives," "Farm Inc.," "Cowspiracy," and many others. Seven-minute "shorts" like "Dairy is Scary" (my current fav), is incredible. The first time I posted it, 3 people responded saying that was it for them ... they were no longer going to consume dairy products.

By Ellen Jaffe Jones

Another milestone was that my 4th book, the one I've always wanted to write since I started defying odds that gave every other female in my family breast cancer, "Vegan Fitness for Mortals," went into pre-sales. The only vegan fitness books out now are pretty much focused on what some might consider "extreme" sports such as ultra-marathons and triathlons. While these are awesome books written by amazing athletes, most people starting on a vegan diet discover so much healing and new-found energy, they don't know where to start.

My publisher has asked me to write two more books, one a year, in 2017 and 2018.

I chose the topics and have many more in my head that they like, too. Given that they are the largest vegan and vegetarian publisher and have been doing what they do for more 30 years, I am excited and humbled to continue working with them.

They get me into the largest vegfests in the US, where I give slide shows and/or cooking demos based on my chef training with Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. I taught classes for six years with them before my first book came out.

I just spoke at the Charlotte, NC Vegfest where the organizer was an investment banker who plunks a sizable amount of money, time and effort into making that one of the largest vegfests of its kind. You don't get more mainstream than investment bankers.

Charlotte, like many around the US are exploding in size. In some cases, doubling or more. People had to sit on the floor and stand at my talk. I have reached the milestone that many authors seek: I have way more invitations to speak than I can accept. I was invited to the Cleveland, New York City and New Orleans Vegfest recently ... all on the same weekend. I've already done each of those multiple times, but my publisher had accepted New Orleans on my behalf. Point being, many vegfests are now occurring on the same weekend, which is a great problem to have.

HE SAID, SHE SAID CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 so high by mile 2, while running at an easy pace. She immediately realized that, with the heat and humidity, it was going to be a slower run than the one she had anticipated.

“I never felt like quitting, but I did wonder if my body would give out in some way that I would have no control over,” Betsy shared.

Betsy said that “lots and lots and lots of water” was needed to keep her safe and moving forward one mile at a time as she traveled the 50-mile trek from Marathon, Florida to Key West. She was also sure to eat at least 100 calories every four miles, and consume a mini can of light beer every 10 miles.

Having read the book “Relentless Forward Progress” before the race, Betsy and Danny used that as their mantra during training and on race day.

“Don't try to wrap your brain around the whole 50 miles. Just break it down to the next stop, the next mile, the next telephone pole and you will get there.

Relentless. Forward. Progress.” Betsy suggested.

Betsy DID get there, and she enjoyed the journey. She and her husband started out with two other runners, Sharon Nance and Luis Duran. Betsy said that Sharon provided race day inspiration, and Luis supplied ample comic relief.

Sharon's husband, Craig, drove the crew vehicle to every crew aid location and gave the runners ice, water, fuel, and whatever they needed to continue to move forward. Course volunteers, fellow runners they already knew, and runners newly met, motivated them through the miles.

Their forward progress was relentless, but so, too, was the heat.

“Due to the likelihood of extreme temperatures at this time of year in the Keys, I would say that unless you are able to train in the Keys or heat train in some other way, you may want to try Despite now getting Social Security, retirement is definitely off the table, perhaps for the rest of my life. Too many animals and humans to help showing how just making a few changes can achieve unbelievable results that maybe your doctor, who never took a nutrition class in medical school, has never heard about. Though there are plenty of vegan dietitians and doctors, especially cardiologists, who "get it."

another ultra first, then try this one,” Betsy said of the race that she thought was “superbly organized” and “amazingly beautiful.”

She was not the only one to feel the effects of the day's heat. Overall Winner of the 100-mile event, Aly Venti, finished almost four hours slower than her 2014 win where she set the female course record in 14:42:45.

At the end of the day though, it is the finish that matters - and the ones who help make that realization of success possible. For Betsy, in addition to droves of friends, old and new, it was her husband with whom she shared that special moment.

“We normally don't run together due to pace differences, so as we slowly approached the finish line together, it just seemed natural to hold hands in solidarity. We did this. Together.”

Running Psychology Keep Your Head Many runners are meticulous in their preparation for training and racing.

Training plans and race schedules are laid out months in advance. Training logs are kept with great detail and often reviewed from decades past. The latest in high tech running gear is ordered from on-line retailers. Shoes, watches, heart rate monitors, sun glasses, synthetic fabric shirts and shorts, all of which promise to make one faster, dot runner's homes.

Food and drink is carefully consumed with exact values of carbohydrate, protein and fat in each meal and snack. Only the latest and greatest sports drinks can be consumed following a workout.

Everything is planned to the nth degree in order to ensure the final part of the plan: winning the big event or running a new personal best. By all means, planning is a necessity in running and all other aspects of life.

However, how often do things go exactly according to plan? The plan says an interval workout on Tuesday, but you still haven't recovered from the race on Saturday. You get lost on the way to the race and can't go through your normal warm-up. You sleep great the night before the race, but feel absolutely dreadful in your warm-up. You put the wrong pair of race shoes in your bag and are forced to run a 10-miler in shoes designed for no more than a 5K. The restaurant runs out of spaghetti and you have to change your pre-race meal. So just how do you react when things like these happen? Do you fly off the handle, panic and get anxious, or do you roll with punches and be flexible?

Certainly racing itself is almost totally unpredictable and rarely follows a script no matter how well you plan. Does going out too fast in the first miles because you're over excited and hyped up sound familiar? What about feeling really fatigued early in a race? How about having to decide whether to stick with a competitor or let them go and hope they come back later in the race? How do you react to these race situations? Do you react with calm, reasoned reactions or with panic and fear?

Your reactions to the ever changing environment of running, both before and during races, can have a huge impact on

By Richard Ferguson, Ph.D.

your race performance. When you react to any situation with panic and fear, your stress, or “fight or flight” response, kicks in. The stress response biochemically revs the body up and prepares it for a strong physical response. While runners need this response in optimal levels, an over heightened response can mean wasted energy and a compromised ability to make logical decisions.

When things don't go as planned, both before and during a race, you need to be able to control your thinking in order to control your reaction to the situation.

Situations themselves really don't trigger the stress response, your thinking concerning the situation leads to the stress response. If you view no spaghetti the night before a race as a major calamity then you most certainly get stressed out and waste valuable emotional energy, both of which will do nothing to enhance your performance the next day in the race.

Work to become aware of when you're beginning to think irrationally and feeling anxious and stressed.

When something doesn't go as planned in your running try to simply look for alternative ways to deal with the challenge. If you get to a race later than expected getting angry and stressed is not going to give you more time to warm-up.

Just tell yourself to be calm and plan your warm-up around the time you do have left. If you feel fatigued early in a race, don't panic with lots or negative thinking.

Just remind yourself to relax, stay positive and remember the sound preparation you have behind you. No spaghetti? Stay calm and choose the next closest thing or another good carbohydrate source that is familiar to your diet. On a personal note, I knew a runner that absolutely refused to eat rigatoni with marinara sauce when spaghetti with marinara sauce wasn't available. He was a mental wreck over the

situation. Talk about a ridiculous waste of emotional energy! Save your valuable emotional energy for when you need it the most, in the race!

Also consider that anytime you make a plan, you should also have some alternative plan. You might call it plan B, C, etc.

Alternate plans will help you be able to refocus your attention in an effective manner and not overly focus on the unexpected event or plan “A” not working out.

When formulating any plan for your running, be sure to keep your past experiences in mind. Think of things that have happened to you in the past and try to anticipate things that may happen in the future so you can better anticipate and react to them.

When you develop any running plan whether it be training, racing, diet or mental training, be sure to include many possible scenarios in the plan. Try to anticipate possible glitches in the plan and develop ahead of time effective coping mechanisms to be used when things don't go as you would anticipate. Practicing effective coping strategies during training will better prepare you to deal with unexpected events during races. Really work on getting in the habit of not letting unexpected things upset you. Learn to be flexible, switch plans and refocus your attention on the task at hand and not on the unexpected event.

A very important point to keep in mind for reducing anxiety and stress is to focus your attention only on things you can control. You can't control weather, other runners or the number of hills on the course.

However, the way you think is most certainly under your control, as is the way you react to situations in your entire life, not just in running. Focus on effective problem solving strategies when things don't go as planned. Getting anxious, angry and stressed will do little to help you come up with effective solutions to any unexpected problem.

By having flexible plans and anticipating the unexpected you will feel more confident in dealing with any challenge thrown your way. A good idea for any runner to keep in mind is to expect the unexpected. So when things don't go as planned in your running remember to stay calm and save that valuable emotional energy.

WOMEN’S RUNNING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 women's sizes and colors. Every brand caters to women and there are several brands targeted just for the ladies.

I cannot even begin to tell you how we have gone from simple Casio watches to electronics that I do not even understand.

I must admit that after nearly 40 years I still prefer a simple watch, although I have a Garmin I have never used, and a lovely Soleus graciously given to me by Pete Rea of ZAP Fitness fame. I leave the world of electronics and even music to this new brand of runner. I find that running for me is best as natural as it can be. I run how I feel and that works best for me.

However I will admit as age has overtaken me I have realized that capri's and boy shorts are much better than bun huggers. They are downright scary now. In the heat of summer I still wear a jog bra but usually manage a lightweight shirt over it. Being age challenged has taken the risqué out of my attire but my clothes are much more running friendly. I think one day soon I may dig out some of my past running attire and wear it out for a run. I suspect even I will realize one fact.

We have indeed come a long way baby!!
