A friend of mine recently moved across town, and as she was talking about packing everything up I had a vicarious feeling of dread. The weight of packing up a house full of possessions elicited a physical response of stress in my body as I thought about all the meticulous steps in the process. It's been two years since we moved, and we are just now tackling the final room where we still have boxes of who knows what stacked up in a corner. Part of the reason it's taken us so long to tackle that project is it's so overwhelming that it's hard to know where to start. This paralysis is common and can affect your ability to organize your desk or tackle that backyard project, but the same anxiety can also have a negative impact on your race strategy. Whether you're racing a mile or a marathon, it's best to approach the race in chunks rather than standing on the start line and trying to tackle the entire race distance at once. Standing on the start line of a marathon and thinking about an entire 26.2 mile race at once can be a lot like staring at a desk piled with years of clutter and letting the enormity of the task paralyze you with anxiety. The more you can focus on what's in front of you the better you can concentrate your efforts and get the most out of your races. If you can focus your attention on one desk drawer at a time, or on the first 5 miles of a marathon, the task will be more manageable and your focus will be clearer. The marathon and half marathon distances are best broken down into four parts. The first part is the opening 5 miles of the marathon or 2 miles of a half marathon. These should be viewed as the warm-up portion of the race, and the first half of this segment should be run a few seconds per mile slower than your goal pace. Standing on the start line of a marathon and thinking about easing into the first 2-3 miles is the best way to set yourself up to feel stronger later in the race. After you get to 2.5 miles in the full or 1 mile in the half, dial into your goal pace and spend the remainder of the warm-up phase settling into a steady rhythm. There isn't as much of warm-up phase in a 5K or 10K race, but using the first 23 minutes to ease in is a great way set

yourself up for a strong finish by making sure you don't start out too fast. It is particularly difficult to recover from a fast start in shorter races because the level of intensity is higher throughout the race. Ramp into your goal pace over the first 23 minutes to ensure you'll feel better and stronger over the second half. After the opening few minutes, break your 5K and 10K races into thirds. The focus during the first third of the race is to establish a consistent, relaxed running rhythm. Hone in on your goal pace and keep the effort as even as possible. At mile 1 in a 5K or mile 2 in a 10K you should be fairly comfortable and in complete control of your race. The second phase of the marathon or half marathon should be viewed similarly. From miles 5 to 16 in the marathon or 3 to 8 in the half marathon focus on keeping things as even as possible. Use this section to run goal pace and to keep your effort as even as possible. This means slowing down a bit on up hills and speeding up a bit on down hills. The effort is more important than the pace because that is what determines your energy expenditure. And the goal in this phase is to conserve as much energy as possible while running goal pace. The more energy you can conserve early the more you'll have to expend later. The third phase, from miles 16 to 21 in the marathon and 8 to 11 in the half, is where the race really starts. Think about flipping the mental switch into race mode to stay dialed into your rhythm. It will start to get more difficult through here and this is where mental focus is critical. If you get into this stretch and feel wonderful, it's okay to move forward a few seconds per mile as long as it doesn't markedly increase the effort. Focus on keeping your form relaxed and keeping your repetition of foot strike high in order to run quicker and dissociate from the discomfort.

My wife and I lived in that house for 24 years. We raised two boys in that house. One black lab and five cats finagled their way into our hearts in that house. We became doting grandparents in that house. And for 24 years I walked out the front door of that house and ran. I'm not sure exactly how many miles I ran on the cart paths of Peachtree City but if I were to guess the number would be pretty close to six digits … and that's without any decimals. To say that I became familiar with every bump in the paths I ran on for those 24 years would be an understatement. I knew every bump, pothole, high spot and low spot the asphalt had to offer. With apologies to Roger Miller, I was the King of the Paths. Once my wife and I became empty nesters we decided to buy a house in the country. We rented our Peachtree City house for the better part of three years; once our renters bought a house of their own we decided to sell. It was on the market for eight days before it sold, triggering the realization that not only would the house no longer be ours but that my days of running on the paths of Peachtree City were a thing of the past. So the morning we closed on the house I drove over to 307 Haskin Knoll to make sure everything was in order for the new owners. I parked in the driveway where I parked my vehicles for 24 years and stashed my keys in the rear bumper just like my friend Al Barker did on Saturday mornings when he joined me for our long runs for many, many years. I spent a few minutes inside the house checking things out before locking the door behind me for the very last time. I then went out for one last run down Memory Lane on the paths of Peachtree City; the paths that I once knew as my kingdom. The truth of the matter is the eight-mile run brought back so many memories it was almost hard to believe that I lived in Peachtree City for only 24 years. It seemed like every yard of those eight miles had made a lasting impression on me, such as: • The curb on Robinson Road less than 400 yards from my house where I was approached by a man in blue at 4 a.m. two days after I completed the 100 miles of

Western States. My feet were shredded and I could barely run, so it didn't surprise me whatsoever when the policeman asked me if I'd been drinking. • The spot on the path near Crosstown Drive where a tree root was nudging the asphalt a couple of inches into the air that caused Al to trip and fall, opening up a gash on his knee that brought his run one Sunday morning to a halt. 'Mount Barker' we called it, although I can't recall if it was a dig at Al for tripping over something that was barely half an inch tall or rather a reference to the blood oozing from his knee that resembled lava flowing out of a volcano. • The spot on the path near Kelly Drive where Kelly Murzynsky became the first women's champion of the Peachtree City 50K, breaking through the 'tape' that was nothing more than a string of toilet paper stretched across the finish line. • The spot on the path near Highway 54 where Paula May tripped and fell to the ground early on a Sunday morning. Paula insisted she fell to the ground with a vengeance; those of us who witnessed it know better - she hit the ground with the impact of a leaf falling from a tree. • The spot on the path near Luther Glass Park that served as the unofficial finish line for too many off-the-books marathons to count. What marathons? Don't ask me: I wasn't there (officially). • The spot on the path near Kroger where Valerie Howard and I 'ran' in neckdeep water caused by the torrential rains the day after the Peachtree Road Race; a day when several youngsters on the other side of Atlanta would lose their lives after getting swept away in flooding waters. On that day we both learned never to fool with Mother Nature; we haven't since. • The spot on Peachtree Parkway that Rich Hornung and I ran in the driving snow and were heckled by teenagers driv-

ing by who found it hilarious. If they had known it would be the last time Rich and I would run together - he passed away not long afterwards from cancer, they may have reconsidered. • The spot on Robinson Road where my sons Justin and Josh rode their bicycles with me 'to keep me company' one dark Sunday night after I had driven all day to get us home from visiting my parents -and their grandparents --in Virginia. The run couldn't have ended on a better note. It finished right where it started: In front of the mailbox of 307 Haskin Knoll, the spot my younger son Josh religiously started and finished his run every afternoon many years ago not long after he told my friend Al that one day he hoped to grow up and be just like his dad.

Running Through the Bluegrass Strong Core is Fundamental for Running Ah, the humble foam roller. It can soothe tight calves and hamstrings, of course, but it is capable of so much more? Your foam roller is just waiting for you to give it a chance! Like cookies and milk or wine and cheese, your foam roller is the perfect pairing for working your core. And if you already think of your foam roller as a torture device, this isn't going to change your mind. Having a strong core is fundamental to running. It is crucial to good posture especially late in long races, protects your low back, and ensures your glutes and hips are doing what they should. And planks are great, but there are a lot of wrong ways to plank, and they aren't functional movement. Planks don't mimic running movements. The foam roller is a pretty common prop in Pilates classes, and the class I teach using it is so popular my clients demand I repeat it every few weeks. In that class we do about a 15 minute warm up, 30 minutes of core mostly utilizing the roller, and 15 minutes of guided rolling. It's also one of my favorite classes to teach because it works my abs AND I get to foam roll for 15 minutes. Here, I'm going to share with you a few exercises that will challenge your core and make you a stronger runner. Two tips before we begin. Any of the exercises where the foam roller is long under your spine require a full length roller, normally about 3 feet - you want your tailbone to your head on the roller. Second, I haven't tried these on a pat-

terned roller (like a Trigger Point Therapy GRID or similar), but I'd imagine it could be uncomfortable. These are best suited to a traditional-style foam roller. Plank Done right, planks are a good way to warm up your core and the foam roller adds a challenge. Start with the foam roller under your shins near your ankles. Hold your plank either on your forearms or with straight arms, just make sure your elbow/wrist are under your shoulders. For a bonus, drop your toes behind the roller, pike up to a down dog position for a break, and kick the roller up to your hands. Hold your plank with the roller under your hands. (Skip this if it is uncomfortable on your wrists.) Hold each for 15-30 seconds. When planking, you're better off doing multiple short planks with good form than trying to hold your plank longer. Bird dog This is a great functional exercise because, like running, your arms and legs are moving in opposition. If you're new to this exercise, you're on hands and knees -

hands under shoulders, knees under hips. Imagine you're trying to pull your ribs together to engage your core. Reach your right arm and left leg parallel to the floor, and keep your left hip pointed down. (Imagine there's a headlight on your left hip bone and that it's shining on the floor. No twisting!) The more you reach your fingers and toes away from your torso, the more work your core has to do. Make this move more challenging by adding the foam roller under your hands. Repeat 8 times on each side. Toe taps Take the roller long under your spine. You should maintain three points of contact while in this position: back of head, upper back between your shoulder blades, and your pelvis. Place your hands palms down on the floor along your sides for balance. Work into this exercise with a progression, stopping the series at whatever step is challenging enough for you on that day. On each, inhale as you lift and exhale as you lower. Start by lifting onto the ball of one foot, lower, and alternate. Then lift up to the balls of both feet and repeat a few times. Next, lift one leg to table top - knee above your hip, shin parallel to the floor, so 90ยบ angles at both the hip and knee. Lower and switch. More challenging will be to lift both legs into table top - one at a time - using your hands pressed into the floor for stability. Maintain all three points of contact on the roller! Maintaining the 90ยบ angles, lower one foot towards the floor, then lift. Switch and repeat.

Finally, lower both sets of toes toward the floor. Only go as low as you can maintaining your position on the roller and not straining your low back. Still not tough enough? Lift your palms off the mat and use just your elbows. Shoot for 8 sets, either each leg 8 times or both legs 8 times. Single Leg Stretch A classical Pilates mat move, part of the Series of Five. Place the roller long under your spine, keeping those three points of contact mentioned above. Bring one leg into table top and then the other, knees above your hips, shins parallel to the floor, 90ยบ angles at both the hip and knee. Hands press into the floor don't fall off! Draw one knee into your chest. Start by reaching the other leg straight to the ceiling. Switch the legs. For more challenge, lower the reaching leg to 45ยบ or lower, but keep your low back neutral. Any strain in your low back and you've lowered too far! Note this is not a bicycling motion but a reaching motion. You're trying to stretch the reaching leg away and out of your hip socket. Repeat 6 times on each leg. (If you've practiced Pilates, you can complete the rest of the Series of Five in this position. For criss-cross, leave your feet down and just work the upper body.) Bridge Place the roller under your feet for bridge work. This targets the glutes and hamstrings in particular, but the core as well. Lift to a long line from knees to shoulders and try to press your knees away from your hips. Inhale to lift, pause, exhale to come down. Shoot for 3-5 reps. Need more? Bridge up and then lift one leg to table top. Lower the leg and come out of the bridge, then repeat with the other side. You can find a video tutorial of all these exercises I created at http://bit.ly/foamrollercore. Note: Please consult with a Pilates instructor, personal trainer, or other fitness specialist if you're not sure of proper form for any of these movements. Use a mirror to check your form, or video yourself on your phone. Or contact me on social media! These are just a few examples of ways you can incorporate the foam roller into your core routine. And hey, while you've got it out, spend a little time on self-massage! Tracy Green is a runner and writer living in Louisville, KY, where she lives with her husband, Chris.

After the Run Virtual Races 'Pheel Good'

Running Journal • September, 2017

Yet there are plenty of ways to enjoy the rewards of realizing a successful virtual race finish, and the growing possibilities seem to have no end in near sight. Yes, most virtual race organizers mail participants finisher medals and sometimes even shirts after completing a virtual event, but some runners are being proactive and planning ahead. Varied groups across the nation are reaching out to organizers, requesting their swag in advance and creating their own mini-races in their favorite (and often most familiar) venue. These groups (that include: running clubs, weight loss groups, fitness classes, PE classes, Couch to 5k hopefuls, friends, families, colleagues, non-profit supporters, etc), receive their shirts in advance, complete virtual events (while wearing the event's shirts) in groups, and create their own finish line festivities by ending at a favorite coffee shop or café and presenting one another with the virtual race Finisher Medals they requested in advance. “It's a great way to have fun with friends and stay motivated throughout the year,” Will Morrell said. On a personal note, I had never really given due pause to think about the many benefits of running a virtual race, until recently. Running friends of mine at local running store FITniche in Lakeland, Florida, are directing a memorial race to celebrate my husband's life on September 9. It is called 'Phil Brown's PHEEL GOOD 5k' and it will benefit the PHEEL GOOD Foundation non-profit organization that I founded in his honor. This event will start and end in front of the FITniche running store, but it will also have a virtual component. It has warmed my heart to learn of the people who are participating in the Virtual PHEEL GOOD 5k. People who never knew Phil, people who knew Phil in years past, people who are participating in large events on September 9 but still want to run that week to celebrate Phil's life and the contribution he made to running, people in different states, people in different countries, and even people with running celebrity status, are all participating in the Virtual PHEEL GOOD 5k in September! I look forward to sharing the full post-race recap with everyone after the run. In the meantime, if you are interested in logging some meaningful miles, wearing a special running shirt, and earning a quality custom medal (bearing Phil's photo), all the while supporting a worthwhile non-profit, head over to www.pheelgood5k.vistaprintdigital.com to learn more about Phil and how to virtually join in celebrating his life the week of September 9th. 'After the run,' please email your photos and stories to me, and let me know if the PHEEL GOOD 5k lives up to its name and indeed helps you “pheel good” about completing 3.1 celebratory miles.

The crowds, the clock, the competition, and the newness of an untraveled course … these are things that many runners find very attractive about participating in an organBy ized road race. Interestingly, the absence of these very same things are also fueling the Mary Marcia Brown growing appeal of virtual races. Many runners cringe at the thought of being caught up in race day morning traffic, standing in packet pick-up lines, racing against aggressive runners, and traveling atop unfamiliar terrain in unknown conditions. Yet, they still like to run. They still like to realize new PRs. They still like to support great causes, and they still like the bling! For these runners, virtual races are the logical alternative. Virtual races allow runners to register for great events, run (or walk) them from anywhere, and typically complete them at any time during a specific time frame (usually during a week-long period, and often one that directly correlates with the date of the physical race of which the virtual race is an extension). Katy Cook, of Lake Mary, Florida, enjoys participating in virtual races. “For those who are into the swag (medals and shirts), it's a motivational factor, but for me, if I can't be (at a race) physically, it's an awesome way to contribute to a cause close to your heart. Not only are you boosting the charity and raising awareness, but also improving your health along with it,” Cook said. Roxanne Youngs, of Auburndale, Florida, agreed by adding that virtual races are a great choice “when you want to support a good cause but you can't physically be there.” Those with opposing viewpoints sometimes reference the anticlimac- Mary Marcia is a runner, fitness professional, and Race Director of the TICK TOCK tic “finish line” as reason ULTRA MARATHON & TEAM RELAY in Lakeland, Florida.

Masters Running and Beyond Veteran Grandmasters are the New Masters Runners When I asked my running friends whether they would like to have a Veteran Grandmasters Division at the races, the answer was an overwhelming 'Yes'! Some of you might wonder, what's a Veteran Grandmaster? And rightfully so, since the concept does not yet exist. Right now it's just a name that I created, for a runner over 70 years of age. Since a runner over 60 is referred to as a Senior Grandmaster, I found it logical to call a runner over 70 a Veteran Grandmaster. As the running population is growing older we see more Veteran Grandmasters at our races, several of them producing stellar results. Many races are already giving separate awards for Masters runners (age 40+), and some also for Grandmasters (age 50+). Here in Florida you will also often find a Senior Grandmasters division for runners age 60 and older. Awards in these categories are in addition to the overall and five year age group awards, and it is common practice to not let runners “double dip.” In other words, if you win an award in an overall category, you are usually excluded from the age group awards. The practice to give separate division awards in addition to overall and age group awards evolved over the years, as the running

population grew older. Competitive road racing has primarily been a sport for baby boomers, and this may still be the case. There are youngsters at the races, including some who will leave us “old folks” in the dust, but the median age among runners keeps going up. The creation of new but “older” divisions started with a separate Masters division for runners age 40 and above, around the time we baby boomers began to reach that age. At age 40 we weren't always able to place among the top three overall, so a separate Masters category seemed justified. And as we continued to age up -and continued to run and race - the time became ripe to introduce a Grandmasters division, for runners age 50 and older.

In 2011, Road Runners Club of America, a.k.a. RRCA, introduced a Senior Grandmasters (age 60+) division at their championship races. It was soon catching on elsewhere, and at least here in Florida we now have a Senior Grandmasters division at many races. And it is often quite competitive! Now back to the original question: Are we ready for yet another division, for runners age 70 and above? We baby boomers are rapidly approaching that age, and some are already there. And we want to keep on running and racing for as long as we can! So, small wonder that the friends that I asked (ranging in age from 50 to 91, and all runners) want competitive age groups and divisions beyond age 60. But would race directors be as happy as the runners about introducing a new division, and maybe also a few more age groups? (Currently in races outside of Florida, age groups sometimes end at 60 or 65.) The new division and age groups would have to be programmed into the race results, and more awards would need to be purchased. And a new Veteran Grandmaster division would increase the potential for errors and confusion at awards ceremonies, especially when older runners excel so much that they take home awards in a

younger category. Here in Naples, FL, this happens all the time, because we have runners in their 60's who are fast enough to place in the in the Masters and Grandmasters divisions. This excludes them from collecting awards in the Senior Grandmasters category and bumps everyone else here (including myself!) up one notch. It should also be noted that in some races, especially smaller races outside of Florida, there may not be enough runners to “justify” having separate Grandmasters and Senior Grandmasters categories, and even less so for Veteran Grandmasters. And with a Veteran Grandmasters division in a smaller race, the winner could be in the back of the pack, delaying the time frame until complete results would be available. However, the above is about to drastically change as we baby boomer runners move up in the age groups. Since many of us refuse to “get old” and will keep on racing, the older age groups will be more competitive, both when it comes to the number of runners and the quality of our performances. Not only here in Florida, but probably in the rest of the country as well. Ten years from now runners who are currently in their 50s will be in their 60s. And those of us in our 60s will be in our 70s, and often left out of the awards. Unless we have a Veteran Grandmasters Division! So yes, we runners are definitely ready. If not yet, then very soon. My running friends are all for it, at least the ones that I asked. And

Inspired Daily The Best and Worst at My First Multi-Sport Event Rather than a detailed race report, which I am actually quite excited to share, I decided to keep it brief and tackle another side of my experience at my very first sprint duathlon. I have never been interested in multi-sport events, mostly because I am a terrible swimmer and have not owned a bike for over 13 years. But this summer I discovered a first year sprint duathlon on Siesta Key and thought I would give it a try. I have been running for 33 years and I guess I just needed to try something new. For weeks I trained on the stationery bike at the YMCA and even completed a couple of “bricks,” which I discovered is not only the term for a run immediately after cycling, but how my legs felt when I started that run! I finally decided on a bicycle to purchase about a week and a half prior to the race. I have been contemplating a bike purchase for awhile and decided I wanted a folding bike so I could avoid a bike rack and easily take it with me at all times. It conveniently fits in the back of my CRV along with all of my other coaching equipment including coolers, agility ladder, cones, foam rollers, first aid kit, etc. I mainly wanted a bike so I could ride it through parks, on our beautiful barrier islands in Manatee and Sarasota

Rae Ann and her bike

Counties, and at cross country practice when I have already completed my own workout earlier in the day but still want to be out on the trails to check on our athletes. I was not looking for a competition bike. I rode my Tern folding bike twice the week before the race. Definitely NOT ready to go pro! I had to laugh at how bad my balance was since I was so used to the stationery bike at the gym. On race morning I was way more nervous than I anticipated. This sprint duathlon was a 1 mile beach run, 11 mile bike, 5K beach run. Once the race started the nerves settled down. I finished the mile and headed into transition for the first time ever. It was exciting to get out on the open road and start pedaling my 8-speed folding bike as fast as I could. I definitely

thought I would start to fade since I went out so fast but I actually finished the second half a little faster thanks to a little tailwind and finding my groove. When I started the 5K run on the beach, my legs felt like they weighed 500 pounds each! I could not believe how difficult that was. I have a whole new level of respect for my multisport friends! I was a couple of miles into the bike portion of the race when a woman in a very nice cycling outfit flew by me on what looked to be a very expensive bike. I was so impressed by how fast these more serious cyclists and multi-sport athletes could ride. As a first timer, I was in awe to say the least. What bothered me for the entire rest of the race was what she said to me as she rode by: “Rae Ann, I thought you'd at least have a real bike.” Wow. She knew who I was so she must have known that I have been solely a runner and this was my first duathlon. Social media allows you to kind of get to know someone without actually knowing them and I am assuming that is how she knew who I was. After the first turn around, a guy whizzed by me and said “great job.” At the final turn around with only a mile back to transition, a group of three guys all made that last turn with me and one of them looked back and said “that's impressive.” Assuming he meant my speed/position in the race despite my folding bike. After the race I had two more people inquire about my folding bike and ask how fast my ride was. I surprised myself by averaging over 17 miles per hour on only my third time riding this bike so I was pretty happy. The results were not posted for the duathlon, only the sprint triathlon and super sprint triathlon so I was surprised when my name was called for winning my age group. I found out later I was second female. I am not totally sure but I think the female duathlon winner might have been the woman who made the snarky comment about my lack of a real bike. I am trying to let it go and that is why I chose to write about it. I guess my point is that almost all the comments I heard that day were encouraging. The spectators and several male competitors all offered something positive but why couldn't she? Is that how multi-sport athletes treat and judge each other, based on the price tag of their equipment? Or is this just another case where this specific woman felt the need to knock down another woman? Why is that? We can all be successful and competitive and driven without knocking each other down. My goal was to complete my first duathlon. I wasn't concerned with times or winning. She clearly had the advantage of better, more expensive equipment and more experience in multi-sport events. I respect that. I have some runner friends who are

faster than me and some who are slower than me. I am even competitive with some of them. But I ALWAYS support, respect, and encourage them to do their best. I try to lift them up as I do with all the girls and women I coach. If I can train someone to eventually beat me in a race, then I have done my job as a coach.

LEARNING FROM THE YOUNG GUNS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 Similarly, the middle of a 5K or 10K is the period where you need to get comfortable being uncomfortable. The effort should still feel manageable though, and you want to feel in control of the race rather than the race being in control of you. The pace should remain even from the first third of the race. As you work through the final third of the race give yourself small tasks to accomplish so you can keep your focus as narrow as possible. Focusing on a minute or two at a time or catching the next person in front of you will help you run faster over the latter stages of a race. The same is true of the final 5 miles of a marathon or 2-3 miles of a half marathon. Narrow your focus as much as you can; accomplish one small task before moving on to refocus on another small section of the race. You can do more at the end of races than your mind would have you believe, and focusing on small tasks allows you to push through that limitation. Standing on the start line can be overwhelming at times, and can lead to a host of insecurities and doubts. Eliminate the anxiety by unpacking one box at a time; remember you have to take the first step before you can finish the race.

Women’s Running

MASTERS RUNNING & BEYOND

Atlanta Track Club Takes National Masters Title For several years the Atlanta Track Club Elite Masters have gone to national meets and come close to the number one title. This year 68 members ages 30-80 plus (29 female and 39 male) converged on Baton Rouge, LA, for the 50th anniversary of the USATF National Outdoor Track and Field Championship. Fourteen of the male competitors were 70 and over and contributed many points to the winning total. The Atlanta Track Club dominated the team competition at the 2017 USATF Masters Outdoor Championships as the Club racked up 1143 points for the win, well ahead of second place team So Cal Track Club with 697 points. Two Olympians from the Atlanta Track Club competed as Executive Director Rich Kenah ran the 800 and Amy Yoder Begley competed in seven individual events and three relays. Quoted Begley: "I never thought I would compete again, it just didn't appeal to me after so many injuries but doing 10 events at USATF Masters with/for Atlanta Track Club was really fun - 5K, 10K, 1500, 800, discus, shot put, long jump, 4x800, 4x400 & 4x100. My favorite event was long jump and funny enough, doing a 10K at LSU in high humidity and high heat, was my least favorite event. Atlanta Track Club had 70 athletes ages 30s to 80s." The four-day event had high humidity and heat (mid summer in bayou country!!) and lightning caused delays in the early afternoon of the first day and created evening indoor sessions. The 400m prelims were moved to the indoor track, as well as the pentathlon 1500m. Thursday's scheduled hammer throw and discus were moved to Friday morning at 7 a.m.

At LSU's Bernie Moore Track & Field Stadium, the first day of track competition began with 5000m finals for several age groups. Brent Fields (Covington, GA) of Atlanta Track Club won the M45-49 group with a finishing time of 16:58.51. Several team members also took gold in the 5000 including Laurie Knowles 35-39(17:09), Kathy Wiegand 40-44 (20:14), Jim Askew 8084 (28:38), Charlie Patterson 75-79 (27:04), Dylan Kight 30-34(26:47) and Andrew Begley 40-44 (17:27). Sonja Friend-Uhl is used to gold at masters championships and she dominated the 45-49 800m in a near world record time of 2:15.56. Friend-Uhl wasted no time asserting her lead and finished the first 400m in 1:05.49. On the bell lap, she maintained position and won with 24 seconds over second place. Olympian Rich Kenah ran beautifully negative splits to pass age group competitors for a third place podium finish in 2:15:22. In a close race, 2008 Olympian Amy Begley finished second in the women's 30-39 800m final, crossing the line in 2:36.79 behind behind first-place finisher Lisa Edwards in 2:35.57. Jim Askew, 81 competed in nine events scoring 53.5 points on his own. The club came home with 167 medals: 70 gold, 48 silver and 49 bronze plus many points collected for places four through six in each event. Masters athletes of Atlanta Track Club Elite and dedicated masters club members gave their all for the team.The athletes were all great and supported each other. Amy Yoder-Begley was a true sport trying events for the very first time. On her first competition with the long jump she stated, "First time long jumping. Things I learned/experienced. You get to spend more time talking to your competitors. I didn't get as sandy as I thought I would. I didn't eat any sand and I didn't foul. I think it was a pretty good attempt. So when they asked do you want a 10 or 1 meter board, at first we opted for 10 meter. Then reality set in and we asked for the 1 meter board." Begley managed a best of 11 feet 10 and 1/4 inches for a silver medal!! First timer Dylan Kight summed up the experience for many. "I don't even really know where to start. This type of event is far outside of my comfort zone but it was such a great experience. I had a great time with great people doing something I love. The Atlanta Track Club won the USATF Masters 2017 Outdoor Championship and it wasn't even close!!! It

was a blast to watch my fellow ATC teammates dominate in so many different events. If there was ever a moment where all this #nodestination stuff made sense- it was this weekend. No matter what it is that is pulling at you. Commit to yourself, stay inspired and keep going. The fear of failure or doubt is real. Do yourself a favor and do it anyways. I still have doubt and anxiety about different aspects of my life. It doesn't go away. You owe it to yourself to fight that voice everyday." In the process of putting himself on the line the 32 year old took home two gold medals (5K and 10K) and a bronze in the 800. He further said. "Thanks to Stephanie (Reynolds) and Amy (Begley) for thinking of me for this event and being so supportive!! I would have never done this without you!" Amy and Andrew Begley made this an adventure for all. Both she and her husband Andrew work at the Atlanta Track Club coaching elites and doing a multitude of jobs. including leading training groups for the 5K to the marathon for runners of any speed, and organizing trips like this to the national championships. "My first discus event was suspended due to lightning. Then our 4x800 relay got moved indoors where I ran SEC indoor Champs in 1998. USATF Masters Nationals. I do not recommend doing a 10K, 4x800 & discus in one day. Tomorrow is 1,500 m, finish the discus, shot put, 4x4 and 4x1." The coach not only works hard but took the effort to participate. And she learned from her participation that the coach sometimes does not follow her own advice to athletes. "Teaching athletes what not to do. Signing up for the 10K seemed like a good idea until I realized I had not run 6 miles since May 24. Last 2 miles were rough. Walking was not an option but definitely a thought." She still took the silver medal (3539). “Our greatest reward was being a part of a great group of people supporting each other to reach our goal,” said Charlie Patterson, who competed in several events and placed first in the 75-79 in the 5,000 meters, 10,000 meters and 2,000-meter steeplechase. Although many endured a long bus ride to and from the fourday championships, there was fantastic camaraderie among all who participated. Those of us who decided not to participate obviously missed an awesome trip. As always many thanks to Amy and Andrew Begley, staff members Elizabeth Unislawski and Andy Carr and to the Atlanta Track Club and Rich Kenah for the support and coaching. This was a huge win for all!! And many congrats to all of my incredible teammates who competed so well. I still marvel at how many made that 25 loops around the track in the heat and humidity. You are all heroes!! Stay tuned for next years outdoors championship August 2-5 in Spokane, WA. At least it should be a bit cooler.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 when I peruse race results, and read articles about talented runners in their 60s, 70s and beyond, I must say “why not”? We need another division for these runners! And I guess, eventually we will have it. Probably here in Florida before anywhere else. Because only in Florida can you be a 65 year old female and “only” place fourth in your age group with a 26:28 in a local 5K, or by running two hours flat in a half marathon. The latter example was my performance at the Naples Half Marathon this January, where age group awards went five deep, and a 2:00:34 gave me the fourth place award in the 65-59 age group. This does not count 68 year old Jeannie Rice, who ran 1:42:53, placing second in the Senior Grandmasters and therefore excluded from the age group awards. And had I been one year younger and in the 60-64 age group, I would not have gotten any age group award at all! For comparison, I was able to dig up results from the Naples Half Marathon ten years ago, in 2007. I discovered that back then the female 65-69 age group was won by Esther van Duzee of Bradenton, FL, in 2:28:51. Also, there appears to have been only six women in the age group, compared to 19 this year. So, at least based on this sample of one single age group in one single race, running among us “older folks” has evolved quite a bit in the past ten years. Another interesting tidbit from the 2007 Naples Half Marathon was that they had a Senior Grandmasters division already back then. Again, the RRCA did not introduce it until 2011, and many races not until after that. So here's another testament that Florida is a “trendsetter” state for older generations, at least when it comes to running. Since we (presumably) were the first state to have a Senior Grandmaster division at the races, I hope that we can also be the first to introduce a Veteran Grandmaster division. And once it happens in Florida, I'm sure the rest of the country will follow suit!

RUNNING PSYCHOLOGY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 negative attitude, can have serious negative effects on your fitness development in the long term. So learn to focus on what you need to do today. Each day of good training adds up to race fitness. The same thinking patterns can be applied during a race. Focus on what you can control and don't waste emotional energy on what you can't control. Stay in the present and take care of what you need to. Stick to your prerace routine, have a good warm-up, get to the start when you need to. Be positive with your thinking. You have prepared to the best of your ability. You can run well. You have demonstrated your ability in past races and have also demonstrated it through your training. When the race starts just trust your training and yourself and give your best effort. Again, be positive. Focus in the present, in the moment. Don't worry about what will happen at mile 24 or how you might feel in the second half of the race. Just run in the here and now. The result will come through the process. So work on what you can control in your training and racing. Get more into the process, not just the actual result. By doing so you may find yourself running faster, worrying less and having more confidence. So each training run and race remember to stay in the present, give your very best effort and be positive with yourself. Stick with the recipe and good performance will happen!

Down the Road Watching the 2017 Peachtree 10K on TV Did you watch the NBCsports channel broadcast of the Peachtree 10K in Atlanta on July 4th this year? My wife Kathy and I did, and found it interesting but very superficial. Maybe we are too hard on the broadcast because we ran Peachtree for so many years - giving us a connection and love of the race. We ran the race almost every year from the 10th anniversary race in 1979 until my brother Earl's untimely death in 1991. He lived just north of Atlanta and we would stay with him and his wife and drive down to Atlanta early in the morning each July 4th. After his death we ran the race every few years and stayed at a hotel near either the start or the finish. The last time was the 40th anniversary and I planned to run the 45th and 50th anniversary races, not knowing a car wreck a few years later would prevent me from being able to run. Some background before we talk about the TV coverage. The first time we ran the race, it was the largest 10K we had ever run or heard of. They listed all 12,000 of

By Cedric Jaggers

the entrants in the pre-race Atlanta newspaper. This year, it is still the largest 10K race in the country last year, and probably again this year as an internet search showed 55,372 entrants, but since there were 60,000 entrants they probably meant finishers. The TV broadcast was shown the evening of the race, so they had plenty of time to get the number of finishers, but the only number they ever mentioned was 60,000 runners, never mentioning if it was entrants or finishers. Not exactly in depth research, it is easier just to say 60,000 and

it sounds like a lot more to a television audience. The broadcasters, one of whom was a runner who admitted she had never run Peachtree, but that it was “On her bucket list, to do”, also said that instead of giving confusing age division awards like most races, that Peachtree had always given only elite awards, plus T-shirts to all finishers. Not exactly accurate. We can testify that during the 80s and 90s that T-shirts were only given to runners who crossed the finish line in an hour (with the caveat that the hour started when the last runner crossed the starting line, which actually made it more than an hour). And beating even that deadline was a big achievement for a lot of participants, and made getting one of the T-shirts a big deal. If you watched the entire broadcast, you could easily have assumed that this was a small race with maybe a hundred women, and about a hundred men who started about 20 minutes later. They got all the coverage, with an occasional mention that there were 60,000 runners, but you certainly never saw anything showing the mile or two of runners lined up from the start. To me this was a big disappointment and a huge missed opportunity to show thousands and thousands of runners waiting to start the largest 10K in the country. So what did they show? Each of the elite races were covered. The women's race was a runaway. If you have run the race, you know that the first 2 and a half miles are pretty much downhill. So a lot of runners stay together during the 'easy' part of the race. Then when you head up 'Cardiac Hill' (we used to joke during the race that it was steep enough to cause heart attacks and there was a hospital conveniently atop the hill), and the rest of the course which has a lot of uphill, the real racing begins. Once the uphill began, the race turned into a runaway. Aliphine Tuliamuk of Iowa broke from the field and ran unchallenged to the finish to win by 11 seconds in 32:49. If they showed or mentioned any of the other female runners before the finish, I don't remember hearing it. The race used to finish inside Piedmont Park and it was a beautiful, but potentially dangerous segment as the road narrowed from 4 lanes to 2 as you entered the Park. I don't recall which year a big change was made, but now the race passes the Park and turns onto a wide street

beside the Park for the last half mile or so. The last time I ran the race (2009) that finish was in use, and it seems to take forever to make it down that stretch. The men's race was an exciting battle for almost the entire distance. There was a big crowd of men until the uphill began, and then they dropped all but 5 or 6 contenders. Watching the race I realized that you never knew where they were in the race - no mile splits, except they did call the 5K split in each race. I noticed (based on watching the time) when they went by the mile split signs (you could only see the back of them after they passed them as the cameras were on the runners, so it wouldn't have been difficult for the announcers to figure and call them out, but maybe that would have been too much effort. I used to love the mile splits because of something they may no longer do. On the left had side of the road, at each mile mark they had a Peach painted at the marker with the number inside - a 1 at the 1 mile etc. It was really a neat concept. If they still do it, the announcers didn't mention that they did, or that they no longer did it. A little research would have been interesting. When the leading men made the last turn there were 3 men left and it turned into a surging, then a kicking contest. Leonard Korir of Arizona, Shadrack Kipchirchir of Oklahoma, and Samuel Chelanga of Arizona. It looked like any of the 3 men could win, but Samuel Chelange was the first one to drop back. I have to admit to cheering for Kipchirchir as I had watched him kick the final stretch of the Cooper River Bridge Run back in April to win. He kicked to the lead with about 40 feet to go and then got outkicked in the last bit as Korir won 28:16 to 28:17. At this point I expected to see some coverage of the other 55,000 or so runners, but I must have fallen asleep because it wasn't there. I got the feeling that commonly occurs when you see race coverage - only the first across the line matters. A genuinely missed opportunity to show thousands of runners on the streets of Atlanta, even if it was only in the fade out and credits section. But it was not to be. Still, it was great to see same day television coverage of a road race that I've run and love: my second favorite 10K. I hope you all lucked into seeing the coverage and getting to see the elite portion of the Peachtree 10K on television.
