Making it Personal Maybe you just reached a running goal you set for yourself. Your first marathon completed, a new personal best in the marathon, your first 5K, 1,000 miles run, an age group medal or even your first mile run. The excitement and pride you feel deep within is uplifting.

You're happy and feel a genuine sense of accomplishment in meeting your running goal. Your friends are even excited for you, even though a few really don't grasp your accomplishment. Some may say you didn't win an Olympic Gold Medal, but for you personally it's just as meaningful because you tested yourself and you reached your goal.

When you set your running goal, no matter what it was, you took a chance. You challenged your perceived limits both physically and mentally. To the outside observer, your running goal may have appeared to be frivolous, but you know how hard you worked and how good you feel as a result of your hard work. Even with no setbacks, achieving a running goal is often not an easy task. It takes work and sometimes the road to success is difficult, but to you it's well worth it when you reach your goal.

Running is a sport that allows you to challenge yourself in numerous ways on a very personal basis. Running brings a sense risk, a feeling of being in control and even feelings of joy and excitement. When you meet the challenges running presents you tend to feel good about it, which in turn increases your motivation to reach new challenges you set for yourself. What makes running so great is these challenges are very individual in their nature. You may be very challenged to complete a 10 miler while someone else is more concerned about breaking 50 minutes for a 10 miler. For some a marathon is long enough, but for others ultra-distance events present new challenges. What makes running so great are these unique challenges that are very personal.

No two runners view the sport of running the same way. Each running experience and even running career is unique to the individual runner. Every time you go for a run it is a very personal experience, one which you give a very, very personal meaning to. It may be a the joy of a race well run, the peacefulness of a run on a secluded trail, the heart pounding, lung burning interval workout or fun, joke filled run with others on a Sunday morning. Each experience is personal to you and keeps you coming back for more. These unique personal experiences bring a unique meaning to your running that really only you can fully understand.

If you run, then you obviously value running. Running provides an outlet to set goals and meet challenges. In a very personal way you deem these challenges as important and you work toward them. The great thing about running is when you meet one challenge or goal, another one can be set and strived for.

In a very personal way you continue to raise the bar, improve, grow as a runner and have continually meaningful running experiences.

By Richard Ferguson, Ph.D.

Few activities offer such a rich and varied array of experiences as does running. In running you get to be out in nature, in all kinds of weather, experiencing the change of seasons. You also get to interact and socialize with others, often developing friendships that last for a lifetime. But maybe most importantly you get to test yourself and really get in touch with yourself as you strive to enjoy running and strive to get better at it.

Runners have varying levels of talent, both physically and mentally, so success is not going to be measured in absolute terms of world records set or races won. These individual differences are what make running such an exceptional sport for runners of all ability levels. In running you do indeed test yourself on a very personal basis and in reality the real competition in running is with yourself. Ultimately, the goal is to get the most out of your ability and enjoy the process of doing so. Who is really the champion, the runner that wins races, but doesn't enjoy running and never reaches their potential, or the runner in the back of the pack that gets the most out of their ability and loves to run?

Running is all about excellence on a very personal level. Running is a race with yourself and your personal goals. Sure, you all begin running for different reasons, at different points in life, with varying support systems and widely varying end motives and goals. But with the wide array of running talent, motives and emotions comes a genuine sense of purpose and an activity where challenges are continuous and given meaning by the individual. In other words, your running is a very personal activity.

So always strive to make the most of your running and make the most of the unique talent you're blessed with. The pursuit of running excellence is all about how you choose to define it. Make the most of your running experiences and your physical and mental gifts as you progress down a long and personally fulfilling running road. Through running you live your own personal pursuit of excellence. Enjoy every step of the process.

Running Through the Bluegrass 'Run Smart, Run Hard, Good Things Will Happen' Months and miles of training, all leading up to one morning to put it all out there and see what you've got. To hope what you think you've got is, in reality, what you've got.

Dozens of weeks, thousands of steps, without wavering because the the task ahead does not care about excuses. No missed days, no missed workouts, no pity parties.

Early mornings, late nights, some days both.

From not counting down to race day at all, to counting weeks, to counting sleeps.

From sweating August 20 milers to sweating the details.

And then - it arrives.

On Nov. 4, my husband and I headed north for the CNO Financial Indianapolis Monumental Marathon.

Heading into this race, I didn't exactly have a race plan. I talked to my coach, Matt Ebersole of Personal Best Training, the week of the race and discussed some of my goal times.

"If you run 3:03 [my original B goal, and 4 minutes off my spring PR], we'll sit down and figure out what we need to change. 3:01 would be okay. 2:59:59 is a lot more exciting than 3:00:10, but don't focus too much on the splits.”

But then he opened the door: “How far under 3 can you go? I'm not going to guess at that.”

There it was. It was on the table that he thought I was ready, and I thought I was ready, so …

Ultimately, he said to “let the race come to you,” which I completely agreed with. I was worried if I went out explicitly trying to break 3 hours and hit 6:50 pace every mile, it would be overwhelming. And what if the course was long or my watch was off? I needed to rely on my ability to assess my perceived effort.

“Run smart, run hard, and good things

By Tracy Green

I was feeling great, mentally and physically. It would've been easy at halfway to get scared - I had just lowered my half PR in September to 1:28 (although 3 weeks later I ran 1:26).

I whiffed snagging my next water bottle at 14 and literally had to spin around and grab it. In hindsight I should've just let it go, because I had an extra gel with me in case that happened.

Mantra for miles 14-20: Strong and smooth. I lost Jen up ahead but didn't fret, I just relaxed and got my nutrition in and held the effort, knowing I'd catch back up. I wasn't really sure where Chris was behind me at this point, although I couldn't easily see him any more so I figured he had slipped back.

The hills on this course - which are not significant - are in the 16-18 area. I had eased back up to Jen and some other folks but I ended up passing her on a hill. Chris saw her drop out at 17.

Running through Butler University is always a fun part of the course, and then through a park and around the front of the Indianapolis Museum of Art. I had calculated that if I made it to mile 20 by 2:15, I was on-track for 3 hours with a cushion. When I passed the marker, I was on track and grabbed my last water bottle, took maybe one swig and ate about half of the gel. I had been drinking water at most of the aid stations along the way, so I didn't need the fluids. They were mostly a back-up in case it was hot and I needed the electrolytes (and more fluids in general).

Mantra 20-finish: "Bombs away." From the Geronimo song … and I wrote Geronimo on the bottle because I thought dropping off a bottle with unknown fluid in it that said “bombs away” might make race organizers uncomfortable. But “bombs away” was a perfectly recallable phrase to remind me to give it everything I had left.

I had been hand-splitting my watch at the mile markers, hoping the GPS would catch back up. Finally around 20 it was almost back on track.

This was starting to get into the carnage part of the race, although it seems like the faster you're going, the more prepared people are and so there are fewer blow-ups. Not totally though - I had passed back a number of guys from earlier. Any time I saw someone stopped, I'd encourage them to keep moving, start walking, hang in there.

At 23.5, we made a sharp right and rejoined the half course. Monumental gets major props for having this entire section coned off and doing a good job keeping half-marathoners on one side and marathoners on the other.

The somewhat questionable feedback I'm getting from my watch is that I'm still in the 6:45-6:50 range, even though I feel like I'm going so slow. There's so much more crowd support plus all the half marathoners, so this stretch was really motivating.

will happen,” wrote coach in an email to the team later in the week.

This was my first time as part of an “elite” field, so there was a meeting to discuss some details and drop off our water bottles.

Race morning breakfast was wheat toast onto which I put a chocolate-hazelnut Hammer Gel. For my long runs, I have been taking a gel before and that's it, so I wasn't planning to eat very much.

My husband, Chris, and I warmed up with a couple of girls I know, including my PBT teammate Jen, running laps around the government building that was also housing the elite hospitality room.

I lined up with Jen and Chris - none of us had a formal plan to run together, but we were all hoping to run about the same time.

And I had recently run half marathons with them both! (Jen had just run 3:01 something at Chicago, but was disappointed and thought she had a better race in her.)

I had mantras for different sections of the course, broken up by where my water bottles would be. My first 8 miles: “Calm and comfortable."

Around mile 6, my watch lost the GPS signal and I have no useful splits until later.

The half splits off just past the 7 mile marker, and I felt great. Just cruising. We had our little pack together. At mile 8 I snagged my first water bottle and gel, and moved on to mantra 2: “Confident and courageous.” I wanted to remind myself for the next 6 miles that I had done the work and this was just another day. Don't back down, don't get nervous. Just run.

We went through 10 miles in 65 minutes, which was a little alarming just because my 10 mile PR from January is 65 minutes. We caught one girl somewhere around mile 10, and another girl caught us a few miles later, and those are literally the only women I saw during the entire race.

The 10 mile marker was a good mental checkpoint because it meant just 16 miles left - and 16 miles is a short Saturday workout day. Just focus and think of it like any other workout. Don't get comfortable, keep my foot on the gas.

Our pack of three comes through halfway in 1:28:24 (officially, I think it said about 1:28:30 on the clock when we crossed), and I said to Jen, “Okay, now let's just do that all over again!”

Masters Running Do What You Love, and Achieve Amazing Things When Eric Johnson of Raleigh, NC, approached the finish at the City of Oaks Marathon in Raleigh this November there were friends cheering him on, and a custom made cake plus champagne waiting for him at the finish line. And when Kelly Richards of Grapevine, TX, ran the IMT Des Moines Marathon in Iowa in October, more than 30 people had come from five different states to celebrate with her. After she finished, they all went directly to a German Beer House and continued the celebration.

Johnson and Richards are not Olympians, not even elite runners. They are regular runners like you and I, who love their sport. Both are masters runners, in their late 40s. They both discovered running decades ago, and have not looked back since then. They enjoy running because of how it makes them feel, but most of all because of all the wonderful friends they make at the races and at other running related events. But when they crossed the finish line in their recent marathons, they had both accomplished something beyond the extraordinary.

For Johnson it was his 200th marathon, the culmination (so far) in a journey that started with the 1993 Marine Corps Marathon. He had no plans to run this many marathons back then, and he only ran three before year 2000.

But he got hooked on marathoning, and continued to sign up for and run marathons all over the country. By early 2012 he had run 100 of them. And after that, “it just made sense to keep going,” he said.

Kelly Richards, also known as 'K2' by her friends, started running in 1997. She ran her first marathon in 1998, at the Twin Cities Marathon in Minneapolis, MN. A few years and a few marathons later she decided to run a marathon in each of the 50 states, and this October in Des Moines she reached that goal.

A few months ago I wrote another column here in Running Journal, where I talked about how to set goals and stay motivated to keep running as we get older and can no longer set personal records. I discussed how instead we could come up with challenges that are different and creative. However in the case of Johnson and Richards, their challenges seemed to find them rather than the other way around. “I decided to run a marathon in all 50 states, because it would be a fun way to do something I loved for the next 20 years” Richards said. “And motivation was never an issue, because I was doing something I loved.” Johnson just “kept going” after he started running marathons, reaching first 100, and now 200. He is enjoying the journey and has no plans to stop. “My next goal is 300,” he said, and added that it may take him a little more time to complete the next 100. “The biggest joy in running all these marathons is all the amazing people that I've met along the way,” he also said.

Running a marathon in all 50 states is an amazing accomplishment, one that takes a lot of effort and dedication even if you are doing

By Lena Hollmann

something that you love. And running 200 marathons is no small task either! Johnson ran all but three of them after year 2000, i.e. within a 16 year time frame. So, on the average he must have run about one per month.

There are logistics issues and of course also expenses associated with running this many marathons, and with running one in every state. Johnson said that his biggest challenge in getting his 200 marathons done was airfare expenses going to marathons all over the country. And Richards found it much harder to plan her last 10 states than it was for her first 40. She also did a couple of international marathons, and had to plan her 'fifty states' races around these.

For some people though, running is not enough. And for them there's triathlons. The ultimate challenge for most triathletes is to complete what is known as a Full Ironman.

This is a 2.4 mile swim, followed by a 112 mile bike ride, and finally a marathon, i.e. a 26.2 mile run. It's a full day's work, and even the best in the world usually need eight hours

Kelly Richards after she completed the IMT Des Moines Marathon, her 50th state

or more to complete the deed. (As of this writing, the fastest time in the world for an Ironman Triathlon appears to be 7:35:39 by Jan Frodeno of Germany, while the fastest women's time is 8:18:13 by Chrissie Wellington of Great Britain.)

Now, enter Susan Haag of Jacksonville, FL. At age 50, she too is a masters athlete. She may not be among the fastest Ironman triathletes in the world, but she holds a record that's in a class of its own. When she crossed the finish line at the Ironman Florida in Panama City, FL, this October, she became the first woman ever to complete 100 Ironmans. For her it was the culmination of a journey that started at an Ironman triathlon in Brazil in May 2002.

Haag's challenge also “fell in her lap” and wasn't planned from the beginning. She had done triathlons since 1990, and again, her first Ironman was in 2002. She continued entering Ironman triathlons, but didn't keep track of how many she had done until early 2012, when she counted 48. She decided to make it 50 by her 10-year anniversary in May that year. And like marathoner Eric Johnson, she just kept going after that!

My hat goes off to all three of these athletes, who all have demonstrated that when we do what we love we can accomplish much more than we could imagine. The key to success for all three seems indeed to be that they were doing what they loved, which made their journeys more of a joy than a challenge. Of course there must have been obstacles and issues for all three while they were on their way towards achieving their goals, but they were minor compared to the positive experiences that they had. For Richards, her joy came from inspiring others to run their first marathon, to set personal records, and to qualify for the Boston Marathon. And when she too qualified for Boston, it wasn't bad either!

Susan Haag finishing the Kona (HI) Ironman in 2012

She had a phenomenal experience running the Boston Marathon in 2005. In Des Moines she qualified for Boston again, by over four minutes, running a little over 3:50. And that time was 17 minutes faster than what she ran in her first marathon back in 1998.

Johnson found joy in meeting so many new and wonderful people during his journey. He joined the Galloway training program in Raleigh and met several friends there. He also credits the run/walk method that is practiced in the Galloway program for making it possible for him to do as many marathons as he has.

And are they all planning new challenges after what they just accomplished? As I mentioned above, Johnson plans to continue, and is aiming for 300 marathons. And as of this writing, Haag just returned from her Ironman #101, in Cancun, Mexico. So far she has five more Ironmans scheduled for 2017. And she is contemplating a double Ironman, i.e. one on Saturday and one on Sunday, the same weekend!

But Richards is taking a break, and recently treated herself to a brief, relaxing vacation in Nicaragua. She has no marathons scheduled for the time being. “And this is a very odd feeling” she said. She does have several non-marathon races that she wants to run on her bucket list though.

The rest of us have plenty to learn from these three fine athletes. First and foremost, that if we believe in ourselves and never give up, we will get to our destination eventually!

Second, that we need to find an activity to pursue that we love and enjoy, because if we love what we are doing, it becomes a joy and not a chore. Third, that being a masters runner does not mean that we are done achieving, and enjoying our sport. All three runners and athletes that I featured in this story are masters, i.e. over 40years old. So young runners, watch out for us and learn from us, because we are not done yet!

After the Run Thoughts After Record-Setting Run Across USA On October 17th, 1980, Frank Giannino Jr set the Guinness World Record for running the fastest run across the United States in an awe-inspiring 46 days, 8 hours, and 36 minutes. He averaged almost 67 miles per day.

As great an accomplishment as that transcontinental run proved to be, Giannino likely could not have imagined that he had set a record that would withstand countless record-breaking attempts by skilled and determined ultra runners for a period of more than 36 years – but he had. The record was firmly rooted as one of the longest endurance running records recognized by Guinness. By many, it simply seemed unbreakable.

Yet, weeks ago, 29-year old, Pete Kostelnick accomplished something other runners had failed to realize. He broke the longstanding record by successfully completing a 3,067 mile run from San Francisco to New York, after averaging 72 miles per day for 42 days, 6 hours, and 30 minutes.

“I reached City Hall in New York City around 5:30 PM on Monday, October 24th.

My wife was waiting for me on the steps after not having seen her the entire run. It was a very emotional finish for that reason alone, but also seeing a number of friends and family (many by surprise) at the finish was amazing,” Kostelnick said.

He was also greeted by former record holder, Giannino.

“I had not been in contact with Frank in any capacity before the run. I had mentioned that my run was largely inspired by him and Marshall Ulrich, though, so I think he was aware of that,” Kostelnick shared.

At the top of the City Hall steps, Giannino congratulated Kostelnick by presenting him with a golden baton.

“Receiving the baton from Frank and talking to him was perhaps the highlight of the entire run. He was as gracious as I expected, but I was also blown away by how inspirational he was,” Kostelnick said. “He seemed genuinely proud of what I did, and he instantly became a great friend of mine above all other titles. I’d love to hand the baton off to the next runner that breaks my record in the same fashion that Frank did.”

Of course, many would not be surprised if, like Giannino, Kostelnick has to wait more than 30 years to pass the baton. After all, such a feat requires tedious planning, disciplined training, and incredible fortitude. Kostelnick’s running success did not come overnight.

In college, Kostelnick topped the scale at 200 pounds, and decided to start running to get back in shape. He lost the weight and found the joy in realizing his personal running goals. Initially running the Marine Corps Marathon, Kostelnick also ran other marathons including the Boston Marathon and increased his training to realize a successful finish at the Badwater 135-Mile

By Mary Marcia Brown

Ultra Marathon in 2015 before setting the Badwater course record in 2016.

“My 2015 win was the tipping point to going for the record run across America.

The morning after I won I remember discussing going for the record with my friend Dylan. Although I lacked in multi-day ultramarathon experience, I knew I had the fitness and drive to accomplish the record at that point. I “just” needed to find a way to figure out recovery and stay healthy over such a long duration, which is where the four team support crew really helped,” Kostelnick said.

Chuck Dale and Dean Hart were Kostelnick’s support crew for his 3100-mile trek. Trasie Phan served as the event manager for the run and kept everyone well informed of Kostelnick’s progress. Cinder Wolff was his massage therapist, RV driver, and to his delight, his personal chef.

“I never had an upset stomach in my entire run across America,” Kostelnick said.

Making sure that his stomach was well trained to efficiently turn over energy to help endure the miles was an important part of his training. So, too, was increasing his training miles.

“I think the large increase in training miles (from up to 100 miles per week a few years ago to up to 200 miles a week in 2015 and especially 2016) has been a huge difference. My body is not only much stronger,

but also trained to “endure” such large amounts of miles with minimal recovery,” Kostelnick said.

Many may be surprised to learn that, of his 150 to 200 training miles per week, a substantial fraction was logged on the treadmill.

“I ran roughly 50 percent of my training miles on a treadmill leading up to the run across America. I would usually do twice-aday runs, with 15 miles outside in the morning before work and 15 miles on a treadmill after work,” he shared.

Unlike many ultra runners, Kostelnick actually enjoys training on the treadmill. He said that the locked-in pace, ability to stop at any time, distraction of the television, easier surface, and convenience of running without having to carry a water bottle and phone in hand, really facilitated his training.

Of course, these were not luxuries that joined him on his cross-country journey.

“I think the need for safety was the biggest surprise. In the trenches, this run was completed by making sure I stayed safe with the hundreds and thousands of cars racing just feet (and inches) away from me.

There were a lot of close calls,” Kostelnick shared.

One of these “close calls” involved his support vehicle. It was completely totaled when a large truck plowed into it one early morning during the 42-day run. Support crew members, Dale and Hart, were both unscathed, and resourcefully resumed their support crew roles after borrowing a car.

Kostelnick is quick to give credit to Dale and Hart, for supporting him “literally every mile across the country.” In fact, he gives credit and gratitude for his entire team, support, and fellow runners who shared the miles with him as he ardently moved forward for 42 days to break the 36-year old record.

Guinness now requires GPS data, video highlights, written mileage logs, and written witness statements as evidence that Kostelnick successfully completed a route that Guinness mandates must be “at least the minimum distance from LA to NYC.” “We hope to have everything submitted and reviewed within a couple months.”

Kostelnick said.

After such an incredible accomplishment, it is challenging to imagine what could possibly be next, but Kostelnick already has a clear direction.

“The World 24 Hour Championships in July in Northern Ireland is the main focus,” he said.

After running 163 miles at last year’s 24hour Desert Solstice, and currently having the highest 24-hour mileage of any American to qualify to represent the United States as part of the US 24-hour team, Kostelnick’s spot is almost guaranteed at this point.

“I [also] have an itch to race, but I haven’t decided which other races yet,” he said, expressing interest and intent to run a few ultramarathons in the spring.

Regardless of his running choices in the coming months, they will undoubtedly be impressive and inspiring. As for another cross-country, record-breaking run being in the cards, Pete said, “I am 99 percent sure I wouldn’t. I never like to give absolutes, but I think this was a once in a lifetime opportunity.”

Women’s Running Maintaining Your Running Health In The New Year Over the years I have recommended many things to keep you healthy and running as often as you want. Recently I have come across the term prehabilitation.

Prehabilitation is essentially preventive injury risk assessment and training to prevent the problem before it happens.

Posture, joint alignment, flexibility, muscle control, biomechanics, core stability and movement patterns are all considered.

Prehabilitation helps you to: achieve normal static and dynamic posture, correct muscle length imbalance, joint alignment and flexibility, normalize core stability (upper, lower and left vs right) and enhance muscle endurance, strength and power, and boost movement pattern efficiency.

Although this can be done with the help of a physiotherapist I am going to relate how I manage to do my "prehabilitation" and what has worked for nearly 40 years to keep me basically injury free despite doing way too many miles. My first recommendation is to find a well versed massage therapist. Now I can hear the groaning as massage therapy is "expensive." Trust me, this is not an issue.

You spend more on shoes, clothes, race entries, travel and electronic gadgets than you

By Carolyn Mather, RN, PhD.

will ever spend on massage. Basically I have had two therapists for the past 30 years. They know my body so well that both have been able to spot problems before they curtail my running. I am often amazed that both have been able to find stuff starting to go wrong before it does. Massage can help you with your posture, muscle length imbalance and alignment. It works, but you must find the right therapist and get regular massages. I have gotten one a week for years and it has been worth every dollar. Plus when you experience post workout or race soreness your therapist can iron out the pain.

Secondly I have a stretching and yoga rou-

tine which I try to do most days following my run. As we age we tend to lose flexibility, and stretching and yoga assist in keeping you flexible. Find out what works for you. I have a friend who takes yoga several mornings a week and it has aided her running tremendously. Stretch all of your muscle groups gently after every run.

The next thing that really helps is pilates or core strengthening. As we tire, and this usually happens during our runs, your shoulders tend to fall and in a hunched over position, you do not breathe properly. You running efficiency is compromised by less oxygen intake and the process soon becomes a slippery slope. Use a ball and strengthen your core.

You can find all variations of core exercises on the internet or you can take classes. A strong core will take your running to a new level. And your posture will improve dramatically.

Plyometrics will also help your muscle endurance, strength, and power and increase your efficiency in running. Start plyometrics slowly and do what works for you. Some of the jumping and bounding may be hard on your knees so take care as you utilize this modality. Again the internet has more plyo-

metrics than you could ever imagine.

Weight training will also help prevent injury by strengthening your muscles so you have more control. You do not need to lift heavy weights but doing arm exercises with weights will assist your movement patterns.

Most runners find 30 minutes twice a week is sufficient.

One thing that too many runners ignore is their shoe wear. I once was told that you should rotate your shoes and never put more than four to five hundred miles on a pair of shoes. I know many runners who push the wear time and often suffer the consequences.

Monitor your shoe wear as that is one of the main ways you maintain joint alignment and prevent preventable injuries. If any wear pattern appears on the soles you should have a professional at your local running store do a gait analysis to get you in a shoe that works best for you.

Finally my last prehab tip is to be your own, best advocate and listen to your body. I find many runners today are so absorbed in their music or their watch and their splits and time that they are not listening to their bodies.

Your body will tell you when you are approaching danger if you listen to your body at all times.

So I hope that I have given you some food for thought for 2017. Try to do some new things to keep you injury free and on the road. Happy running!!

Distance Memories Critters on the Run - the Injured Owl I've had a lot of interesting encounters with wildlife during my runs over the years. I've been chased by foxes, coyotes, dogs, a raccoon and a couple of baby basset hounds. I've run side-by-side with dogs, deer, possums, cows, horses, squirrels, rabbits, armadillos and that one time with a skunk (fortunately I escaped his wrath, if you know what I mean).

Although occasionally lending a bit more excitement to my run than I would have liked, they've all turned out well if you don't count that one time I was bitten on the elbow by a German shepherd.

What haven't turned out well are the runs during which I encounter a hurt animal.

Animals in distress moments after being struck by a car; mostly deer, but occasionally a dog or a cat cause me to look for the nearest phone so I can make an emergency call to get the poor animal some help (this usually occurs in the wee hours of the morning so my options are somewhat limited). I'm reluctant to return to 'the scene of the crime' because in my mind once I made the call the animal was rescued, nursed back to health and lived happily ever after.

But a recent Saturday was a first for me.

Running with Valerie and Antonio, we saw something in our path that appeared to be a pile of leaves. As we got closer we realized it was a small owl, sitting ever-so-still in the hopes that the three humans wouldn't notice the tiny creature minding its own business in the middle of the road.

What the owl didn't realize was that he was a sitting duck for oncoming traffic. I reached down to pick him up - only after Valerie assured me its bite wouldn't hurt - and cupped the owl in my hands when it suddenly started making a clacking sound before clawing violently to escape my grasp. It didn't take long for the razor-sharp claws to convince me to let go of it (Valerie failed to warn me about that when she mentioned its bite not hurting). The owl headed into the woods, its right wing flapping in such an odd manner that it was easy for us to tell it was broken. I chased after it into the woods, wondering what I was going to do if I caught up to it.

I spotted the owl and remembered Antonio was wearing a pair of gloves. I asked to borrow them and he balled them up and threw them to me. I put them on, approached the owl, bent over and picked it up. The owl made a clacking sound before clawing me once more as I carried it back to the road. I noticed its left eye was as wide as a saucer, but there was something about the right eye that didn't look right.

So here we were with a wounded, obviously frightened owl in hand in the middle of the road almost four miles from my house. Here's what we did next: We ran.

With the tiny owl gently cupped in my two hands, I ran as fast as I was capable of running with my hands completely stable so as not to disturb the owl. For the next 45 minutes the owl mostly slept as we ran, partially because I was rubbing the back of its neck with my right thumb but in all probability more a result of

By Scott Ludwig

whatever trauma it had experienced earlier resulting in it sitting in the middle of the road with an injured right wing. The two or three times the owl woke up it made its distinctive clacking sound, my cue to get ready for another round of palm-shredding.

Once I got to my house Antonio opened the door and asked Cindy to come out to the garage to see what I 'brought her.' Figuring it was a stray dog or a lizard (she's deathly afraid of the latter) she was reluctant at first, but when she saw a pair of big brown eyes staring up at her she - like Valerie, Antonio and I before her - was mesmerized. My grandson, Krischan, was next in the reception line, immediately followed by Cindy's brother, Robert, and his wife, Mary Lane. We put some straw and a bowl of water in a plastic tote for the owl to rest while we figured out what to do next. The owl instantly fell back asleep. In my mind I knew it to be a sleep of contentment; content in knowing that this group of people was doing everything they could to help.

Cindy went inside the house and got on the internet to see what we could do for our brown-eyed guest.

She contacted the Cochran Mill Nature Center who in turn asked if we could bring the owl to them; if so they could arrange for someone from the Auburn Veterinary College to pick it up and transport it back to receive whatever treatment they deemed necessary. We were on our way in a matter of minutes, the owl still asleep in the tote that was now in the back of Robert's SUV. Once we got to the Nature Center we took the owl inside and were a little bit nervous

when we checked inside the tote and both eyes were closed and there wasn't the slightest indication it was breathing. But once the director of the Nature Center picked the owl up and it started making that distinctive clacking sound, we all felt a sense of relief. Over the next 30 minutes we learned a few things about our new feathered friend: • He was a male screech-owl.

• He was fully grown.

• He was a bird of prey, meaning he had keen vision that allowed him to detect prey during flight (not to mention his powerful talons and beak).

And finally, the one that explains the talon marks on my left hand: • The clacking sound was the owl's way of saying bad things are about to happen.

It didn't take long for Krischan to name the owl 'Screech.' The Director was almost as quick to place a call to the Auburn Veterinary College: Someone was on their way to take Screech back to Alabama to see if they would be able to help. All of us felt a sense of relief as we said our goodbyes to the only owl any of us ever had the pleasure of holding in our hands; relief that Screech would be nursed back to health and live happily ever after.

I called the Auburn Veterinary College two days after we discovered Screech. It broke my heart to hear that Screech had a fractured right

7

wing and was blind in his right eye and for those reasons had to be euthanized shortly after arrival. Their best guess was that he had been hit by a car while in flight, which helped explain why we found him in the middle of the road on a cool fall morning.

As I think about Screech's last day on earth I take comfort in knowing that he lived the final hours of his life surrounded by people that truly cared about him. Forgive the pun, but people who simply gave a hoot.

People who shed a tear when they learned Screech was gone.

As for my grandson, I won't tell him what happened to Screech. I want him to believe Screech was nursed back to health and lived happily ever after.

Like all of the injured animals I saved with an emergency phone call over the years.

This Running Life This 50-Stater, Marathon Maniac, Completes 200 Marathons Eric Johnson, a 48-year old runner in Raleigh, NC, recently completed his lifetime 200th marathon when he crossed the finish line at the City of Oaks Marathon in Raleigh Nov. 6. Eric’s running life is all about setting goals and finishing them.

After more than two decades as a runner, he’s crossed many finish lines, but the end to the goals he wants to achieve is nowhere in sight. He has completed many other shorter distances and has attempted a 100-mile ultra-marathon. Adding up his marathon mileage alone through all 200 finishes — and he’s done it in all 50 states – is over 5,240 miles.

Eric and I met up at a local coffee shop on a mid-December night to talk about his passion for marathons and the “thing” that keeps him in the game. Unless you are part of that wild and whacky world of multiple goals, lists, marathon combinations, his achievement is no less than jaw dropping.

Here is Eric’s story: It was so long ago when I started running marathons, I honestly don’t remember why I started. My first marathon was in 1993. I met a group of guys that were

By Teri Saylor

running and one of them worked with my dad and was talked me into training with them. One minute I’m running six miles at Shelley Lake, and the next minute I have a marathon training plan down. Our group would get together on Saturday mornings and run all over Raleigh. One big giant loop.

I didn’t get hooked on marathons right away, because I was so damn sore after the first one, I could hardly walk. But during my second one, I met a 50-stater, and I thought that’s a pretty neat goal. I’ll see what I can do with that. That was the start of it all. My first marathon was not even a state. It was the Marine Corps Marathon (Washington DC). I guess technically you

Eric Johnsons hold up medals from marathons he has finished in all 50 states.

could call Virginia my very first state because Marine Corps starts and ends there. I did my second marathon in 1997 and one in 1999. And then that’s when it kind of blew up. Actually, in 2000, I saw somebody I hadn’t seen in a while and he asked me when my baby was due. And that’s the thing that kicked it off. I finished 50 states in 2010.

My final state was Alaska I ran with Harden Watkins and Henry Reuden.

Henry was the third North American to complete 1,000 marathons, and that’s insane.

I have only run 13 half marathons. I said that once I finished 50 states, I was going to become a half marathoner, but then I learned about the 100 Marathon Club — the Century Club. So when I finished my 50th state marathon, I had about 78 total and needed only 22 more to get into the 100 Club. Plus, I had to get a new goal quickly. It’s funny when I crossed the finish line after the 50 states, it was kind of depressing because I spent so much time chasing a goal and then I got it. And so I thought, now what?

My 100th marathon was the Tobacco Road Marathon (in Cary, N.C.) in 2012. I finished 97 of those 100 races over 13 years. My 200th marathon was City of Oaks here in Raleigh this year (2016). I

was nervous before that race because City of Oaks is a hilly course with a strict, sixhour cut-off time. And I’ve slowed way down because I’m doing so many races, but I made it to the finish before the cutoff. As long as it counts as a finish, I don’t care about the finish time. Now in a couple of years it may be different. I may focus on speed a little bit more. I do want to drop some more weight and do some longer distances. Time is not a factor.

Let’s call it quantity over quality and I’m fine with that.

On running slowly At over 200 pounds, Johnson wants to lose 40 or 50 pounds to alleviate stress on his lower back and knees, the only areas of the body that suffer under the pressure of constant running. He’s a back-of-thepacker and likes it that way for now. But due to his slow speed, he’s limited to races that don’t have aggressive cut-off times.

The Galloway run-walk method has pretty much been my saving grace.

Without a lot of run walking this would not have happened. These days, my pace is slow - anywhere from 14 to 16 minutes a mile.

There are a lot of races out there that

Inspired Daily Find Your Spark Many of my friends and running acquaintances have confirmed a feeling that I often get after a big marathon. They feel bummed out and like they have lost their spark once the big race is over. After 18 weeks of training and focusing all my efforts preparing for the 26.2 mile event, I get that feeling of “it's over, now what.” I know the mind and body need time to recover but even weeks or months after the race it can be tough to find that motivation or spark again, especially if there isn't another race on the horizon.

Being injured is a bit like that. I did not run the entire month of October and then in November I think I had an equal split of time in the gym and running so still not back to my normal running volume. I managed to get through the half marathon at Space Coast with no problem so the strength training and cycling are keeping me somewhat fit but I just don't feel like myself. In December I started physical therapy for the Achilles tendon. It is going well as of this writing in early December despite the immediate confirmation that I have tight calves and weak hips.

As I ramp up my mileage to get ready for Boston Marathon training in mid December, I am struggling to fit in the extra stretching and foam rolling on top of the time at the gym, running, and the increase in my hours at work. So far it has left me quite fatigued most of the time. With a little holiday weight gain, running is challenging as I try to get back to my usual fitness level. As I mentioned last month, I had to cancel several

By Rae Ann Darling Reed

races this fall that I really look forward to and that has drained a little of my enthusiasm as well.

My husband urged me to go back and read some of my old blog posts to find some inspiration and I found one from 2010 that described one of my favorite TampaRaces.com trail races that reminded me how one trail race can reignite the spark.

Below is an excerpt from that post: “I really did not know what to expect.

Then this young guy in front of me turned around and told me that he rode the course yesterday on his mountain bike and it was really rough. He said “just be sure to pick up your feet.” The older guy next to him turned to me and said “that's what you want to hear, right?” We both chuckled and the race was on.

“I started out a lot faster than I normally would, but I figured I had to in order to avoid getting stuck behind people on the single track course. There were two women

ahead of me going into the single track path.

I was sucking wind by the first mile. There were no mile markers on the course - this is cross country, baby! Trail races are absolutely not about pace and splits. This was my opportunity to just race. I cherish opportunities like that. Luckily, I had my Garmin and it beeped at every mile so I knew how far I was in the race but I never looked at my splits. There really was no point, besides if I did, I probably would have tripped. This course was incredible. Hard core road runners would hate it. I absolutely loved it! The 5K course was almost like a flashback to high school. Our home course at Monson High was just as uneven and loaded with rocks and roots but we had major hills in Massachusetts.

“The course is a mountain bike course at the park that they closed just for us to use this beautiful Sunday morning. It had so few straight sections that I do not remember them. It was narrow (one person wide); it twisted and turned; it had so many quick ups and downs (mini hills to this New Englander); it was loaded with rocks, roots, leaves, and a little mud just for fun. It was incredibly difficult to pass. I had to run up a little closer than was comfortable on the person in front of me and then when a slightly wider turn presented itself, had to accelerate by. It was challenging, tactical, and liberating. Once I passed the two women in front of me about halfway through the race, I thought I was the first female, but was not 100% sure. So I kept running as hard as I could for the last mile.

When I came out of the trail and headed for the finish, a couple of spectators yelled out that I was the first female. After a quick sprint on the grass to the finish, I walked out of the chute exhilarated and quite out of breath.

“I love that my husband is always right

RUNNING THROUGH THE BLUEGRASS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3

Rae Ann and her husband, Phil, after the Florida Challenge Trail Race.

There aren't many guys ahead of me and I'm trying to chase them down one at a time, and drag them in, too.

We make a turn just before 26 and there's a bunch of running group tents on the sidewalk and a ton of people. I see the orange of PBT and people are cheering for me - I am SO excited and finally realizing/accepting that this dream of breaking 3 hours is really going to come true. I'm not going to blow up, crash out, fall short. I still feel good, and I just have to run for a few more minutes.

I make the last right, with just a few hundred meters to go. The crowd is huge, there's music, and I'm staring down the finish line.

I can read the clock, I think, but I'm not sure because it seems to say 2:56, which does not seem right AT ALL. AT ALL. But it really does. I see it roll over to 2:57 and I'm looking across the line to see if Coach Matt is there. All the race officials are in orange, so I'm having a hard time figuring it out, but as I get close I know he's there because he's standing in the middle of the lane yelling for me.

there to greet me out of the chute. Sharing that joy and exhaustion with him makes it feel more amazing. I had barely caught my breath but I could not wait to tell him how tough the race was and what the trails were like. I know he could see the joy. I could see it in his face, too. I set off to do a cool down jog, and on my way back, I heard the awards being announced. I didn't quite make it to collect my overall female winner trophy, but my husband picked it up for me. These are the most unique trophies, made of a rock slab base and a laser cut metal girl running with a pony tail (a RunnerGirl perhaps) and a name plate with the race and award name.”

Officially 2:57:03.

Chris comes through in 3:03, a PR for him after a very long time (like 8 years at least) and a big BQ especially since he just went up an age group.

While I'm standing at the finish line, they start playing Geronimo! How crazy.

We check the results tent and get printouts, where I find out I was the 9th female finisher overall (!!!) and that my splits for the halves were 1:28:24 and 1:28:40. You don't get a lot more even than that!

My average pace was 6:46 - the same pace as the last mile of my blind marathon pace workout the Saturday before.

My legs are tired but my heart is happy.

All the work paid off. I ran smart, I ran hard, and good things happened. Now to recover mentally and physically, and reset for spring.

Want To Run 'A Good Ole' Race This Year?

Every new year is a new thing. But the past leads to the present, so are you ready to run one of the races that has proven to be 'A Good Ole Race' in 2016 and is still being held? You'll have to thank or blame my friend Mike Foley for this article. Since he knows I try to keep up with all the races in South Carolina, he asked “What are the oldest races in the state?” I had to admit I hadn't really thought about it. Could you name the oldest races in your state? So after spending more time than I thought it would take going through the list of all the races held in 2016 (2016 and the last part of 2015 since Kiawah Island races had not been held by publication deadline), I e-mailed him the list using 30 years as the cutoff.

Old races have usually survived because they are pretty good. No race is perfect, but for a race to go on and on and on, they have to be doing something or a lot of things right.

Learning from the Young Guns Digging out of a Running Rut This morning we were in our local coffee shop, reheating after an exceptionally nasty morning of practice with our elite athletes, and the barista was astounded that we were outside running on a 36-degree morning with steady rain. It was a morning that would keep most people in bed (our athletes run for a living so excuses are harder to come by), but for amateurs and professionals alike quality spring racing depends on consistent winter training. Full disclosure: I was bundled up with an umbrella holding a stopwatch so I'm not touting my own toughness. The point is, the training can be done, but those dark mornings and early evenings can drag the best of us into a winter rut. The key to performing your best at your goal race, even if it's months from now, is to defy the lure of the snooze button and dig yourself out of those ruts.

Most runners don't love every single run, but are grateful for them and realize that those are the days that make the accomplishment of a good workout or race even sweeter. Running should be fun however, and the more you can enjoy it the more you'll get out of both your training and your race performances. If you're finding yourself hitting the snooze button more and more this winter

By Ryan Warrenburg, ZAP Fitness

here are some tools to help dig yourself out of a winter running rut.

Perhaps the most powerful tool is the accountability of a running partner. If you can find someone to meet you for some runs throughout the week or on the weekend you'll be far more likely to get your runs in on days where you're struggling for motivation. The accountability of training partners played a huge role in my own running over the years, and not wanting to let them down helped push me to get the most out of myself. Running is an individual sport, but having running partners allows you to harness the team atmosphere that propels people to great things. Additionally, there is

comfort in having someone to share the cold morning or evening darkness with.

We have a lot of people who come to our ZAP adult running camps looking for motivation and a way to reconnect with the joy of running. There are two primary ways that is provided that at our camps: being surrounded by other runners and exploring new places to run. Most people tend to do the same run at the same pace day in and day out. Exploring new training venues is a great way to rejuvenate your running. If you are a person who trains primarily on the streets and roads try to find a local park and get lost in the woods for a bit. Even if that isn't an option for you changing up your route is a good way to reengage and get off of autopilot. I am a big fan of destination runs, especially as something outside your normal route, because you there is a sense of purpose and accomplishment halfway through the run and then again at the end of the run.

For many people training for spring and summer racing the winter can be a good chance to mix in some cross training and non-running activity. One of the areas people tend to struggle with the most is the recovery part of the training process.

Having a period in the year where you perhaps run a little bit less is a good way to keep things fresh both physically and mentally. Attending a spin class with a friend once a week, for example, is a great way to add variety to your routine. Variety, whether it's in your exercise modality, your running route, or type of workout, is ultimately the key to overcoming performance and mental plateaus.

Changing up the type of run you are doing once or twice a week is an important variant that can provide positive change as well. As I mentioned, it's common for people to get stuck doing the same run at the same pace day in and day out. If you vary

the distance as well as the pace throughout the week that will provide a different stimulus that will not only help you improve but add some excitement to your routine. One of the traps people can fall into with adding faster running to your routine is over training, increasing the risk of injury and burning out, so it's important to keep most harder running at a submaximal effort and limit hard workouts to 1-2 times a week. One harder workout that is under utilized and is perfect for winter training is hill running.

Hills are an excellent way to build strength in your legs and also provide a challenging aerobic stimulus. For most people the winter is a base building phase and hills are a good way to work variety in to your week. The stress of running uphill is less than running on the flat so the risk is minimized compared to running a hard track workout.

If you are in the midst of training for a late winter or early spring race try mixing up your workouts as well. For example, if you typically do a 3 mile tempo run switch it out with a fartlek run once every 2-3 weeks, or do 3 repeats of 1 mile each with 60-90 seconds rest at a pace 10 seconds per mile faster than you would do your tempo run. This is a great way to mix up the stimulus in a way that will increase your rate of improvement and also make things more exciting.

We all have our days where the warmth of the bed wins the battle against the cold morning air, but it always feels better once you get out there and if you can use some of these strategies to dig out of a winter rut you'll be better prepared come the spring and summer.

THIS RUNNING LIFE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8

Saturday morning run,� and it never happens.

I originally wanted to do 52 marathons in 2016 to become a Titanium Maniac – the highest level of Maniac, achievable by finishing either 30 states or 52 marathons in a calendar year. But I was falling five or six marathons short. There were some options I could have taken but they would have really constrained my budget and I would have had to live outside my means to get the last couple of races in to make it to 52. I was also kind of beat up and tired, and deemed it wasn’t worth it. I was talking to some people on a personal level, and they said ‘Eric at the end of the day, who cares if you are a Titanium Maniac other than you?’ All of this is addictive, and the addictive part for me is about chasing the numbers.

I want to reach 300 marathons in maybe five years. There’s a list – a world mega ranking list, but you have to have 300 marathons to get on it. I also want to get to 100 marathons in North Carolina.

A special running community So there a special culture or community of runners that sets all of these goals, and what are some examples?

There’s a 50 States Club and Marathon Maniacs. There’s the Half Fanatics, and there’s the 100 Half-Marathon Club. The 50-States Half Marathon Club, and the Half2run.com Club, which is a club

where runners must finish half marathons in half of the states in the U.S. Every one of these groups is separate from each other. But everybody knows each other because most everybody belongs to every group, and they’re all intertwined. But the Marathon Maniacs is the largest. There are thousands of maniacs out there.

What are your favorite marathons?

I do the Breast Cancer Marathon in Jacksonville every year, and I am biased.

I really like two of the local marathons: Tobacco Road and City of Oaks.

Although I’ve only run each of those one time, I have a lot of blood sweat and tears associated with them due to running and helping out.

I love St. George in Utah and, of course, Chicago. My biggest bucket list item would be to join the Seven Continent Club, and maybe that would come down to just running two or three marathons a year and saving up money to do the continents. Then there’s the Triple Sevens Quest. It’s made up of group of people that do all seven continents in seven days, so that’s out there, too.

My advice for other runners is don’t set unachievable goals because if something happens and you get sidetracked, then you get disappointed or dejected and you don’t follow through. And don’t set just one goal. You’ve got to have different lev-

aren’t on normal calendars. You mostly find them on Facebook. I like the smaller races. They’re friendlier. I’m going to try to drop some weight next year and get a little faster so I won’t have to choose races based on cutoff times. But to do that, I have to quit eating cupcakes and the sweet stuff, and I need to break up with two women in my life – “Dolly Madison� and “Little Debbie.� Just because you are running a lot doesn’t mean you can eat anything you want.

On setting goals For Eric, running is an end game. He is compulsive about setting goals and keeps his goals and results on a spreadsheet.

His goals are more about lists such as 50States or 100-Marathons, than finish times and PRs. He’s also a people person and a mostly social runner.

I just like to run with people. I’ll talk to anyone who’ll run with me, and in order to talk to those people, I have to have goals to give me a reason to go to races.

Otherwise I get stale. Without a goal I get complacent and I think “well I don’t have to get my six miles in, I’ll do it tomorrow.�

Then tomorrow comes and I say “I’ll do it Friday or I’ll add a couple miles to my

els of goals. When you reach one goal, you can have another one to go right into.

For me, the quality of races I do is dictated by the quantity. If I wanted to run just two or three marathons a year, I’d lose the weight, focus on speed, and run faster. But I’m not really focused on speed. I’m just trying to get a bunch of finishes, so that’s the biggest thing.

Nearly 12,000 Give Thanks for Health at Thanksgiving Day Half Marathon Events Participants, Atlanta Track Club Give Back to Atlanta's Homeless Atlanta, GA - Approximately 12,000 runners and walkers gave thanks for their health and fitness at the Thanksgiving Day Half Marathon events. Participants, volunteers and spectators were treated to mild temperatures and mostly sunny skies. The Half Marathon, 5K, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia One Mile and 50m Dash all started and finished near Turner Field.

Elite athletes from across the country chose to spend their holiday competing at the Thanksgiving Day 5K after an expanded prize purse of $12,000 was announced for the event. The winners took home $2,000 each. For the men, today's race was a rematch of the 2016 USATF 5K Championships with Sam Chelanga of Colorado Springs, Colorado, taking on Atlanta Track Club Elite's Kirubel Erassa. In the end, Chelanga outkicked Erassa again, winning in 14:21 to Erassa's 14:25.

“It's early in the season, so I don't know where I'm at; I don't know where Kirubel's at. So I pushed him,” said Chelanga. “I wanted to make it fun and push myself.”

The first female in the 5K was Natosha Rogers of Littleton, Colorado, who finished in 16:09. Rogers credited Furman University Junior Allie Buchalski (Alpharetta, GA), who placed second in 16:12, with pushing her to the win.

“We were neck and neck the whole time. That last mile was really pushing it for me, but I'm glad I dug deep for the win,” said Rogers. “It was challenging with the hills, but I'm used to running longer races so it went by really quickly.”

The sold-out Thanksgiving Day Half Marathon turned into a hometown battle between two brothers. Jared and Josh Carson started together, but Jared pulled away and bested his brother, running 1:11:33 and 1:12:47 respectively.

“My competitive edge got the best of me,” admits Jared Carson, who now lives in Austin, Texas. “I've run this race three or four times now, and I always enjoy coming back and running it.”

The top female in the half marathon has found success on this course before, placing first in 2014 and third in 2015. Annie Kelly, who attended Milton High School and now runs for the University of Colorado Boulder, improved upon her 2014 win (1:25:40) and broke the tape today in 1:21:19.

“I probably went out a little fast, but I was trying to break 1:20,” said Kelly. “I honestly started dying around mile 11, but there was a male runner who kept telling me to run and that helped a lot.”

The Thanksgiving Day Half Marathon events also provided a way for participants to give back to the homeless. Atlanta Track Club encouraged participants to bring gently used clothing and shoes to the start line or race number pick-up with a goal of collecting one ton of clothing. All items were donated to Atlanta Mission.

Additionally, Atlanta Track Club donated $4,000 to Atlanta Mission.
