Wow! What a great spring we’re off to this year. Great weather for
all sorts of activities, but especially running. And this is one of those
times of the year that makes me smile when I see people running
because it makes me wonder how many of them are chasing their first
distance dream. Are they going to try their first race, maybe their first
marathon? Are they running for a cause or for someone else, and are
they as nervous as I was the first time I did a race? Then again, maybe
they just need to run. Been there, too.
Hope you all are enjoying the technical shirts. Now live up to them
and get out and volunteer somewhere. That’s what makes us survive.
Happy running to all.

The Pilates Phenomenon
By Christine Crawford
“I must be right. Never an
aspirin. Never injured a day in my
life. The whole country, the whole
world, should be doing my exercises. They’d be happier.”—Joseph
Hubertus Pilates, in 1965, age 86
Much of this country is experiencing the exploding demand for
Pilates, a method of exercise and
physical movement designed to
stretch, strengthen, and balance the
body. Pilates is a systematic practice of specific exercises coupled
with focused breathing patterns.
The practice has proven itself
invaluable not only as a fitness endeavor in its own right, but also as
an important component to sports
training and physical rehabilitation. Widely embraced by dancers
for years, the exercises (the Hundred, the Roll-up) and the language
(“pull navel to spine, and breeaaaathe”) is popping up in fitness
classes, physical therapy offices,
corporate retreats, luxury spas, and
wellness centers across the country.
Another fad? Think again. There
is an increasing trend for athletes,
especially those involved in endurance competitions, to take up the
practice. Therefore, Pilates is more
likely to be found either with a
wait-list at the local YMCA or being taught in public schools.
Practiced faithfully, Pilates
yields numerous benefits. A primary focus is increasing lung
capacity and circulation through
deep, healthy breathing. Other key
components are strength and flex In Passing

ibility, particularly of the abdomen
and back muscles, and muscular
and cognitive coordination. Posture, balance, and core strength are
all improved. Both bone density
and joint health can be improved,
and many participants experience
positive body awareness for the
first time. Pilates teaches balance
and control of the body, and that
capacity spills over into other areas
of one’s life.
Around 1914, Joseph Pilates
was a performer and a boxer living
in England. He, at the outbreak of
WWI, was placed under forced internment along with other German
nationals in Lancaster, England.
There, he taught fellow camp members the concepts and exercises
developed over 20 years of selfstudy and apprenticeship in yoga,
Zen, and ancient Greek and Roman
physical regimens. He began devising the system of original exercises
known today as “matwork,” or exercises done on the floor. He called
this regimen “Contrology.” A few
years later, he was transferred to
another camp, where he became a
nurse/caretaker to the many internees struck with wartime disease
and physical injury. Here, he began
devising equipment to rehabilitate
his “patients,” taking springs from
the beds and rigging them to create
spring resistance and “movement”
for the bedridden.
In a way, Pilates equipment
today is not much different than the
original equipment. Spring tension,
straps to hold feet or hands, supports for back, neck, and shoulder
are as important now as they were
secondwindrunningclub.org
then. Because of the remarkable
nature of the equipment to both
challenge and support the body as
it learns to move more efficiently,
the designed pieces truly act as
a complement to the challenging
“matwork” exercises.
Today, there is an influx of
“quickie certifications” available
for would-be instructors wanting
to be trained in a weekend or two.
While excellent training programs
exist in the marketplace today,
some are clearly condensed and
homogenized, producing lessthan-adequately qualified instructors. Prices for classes range from
10$-$20 for group mat sessions, to
upwards of $50-$100 for one hour
of one-on-one instruction utilizing
the full repertoire of Pilates equipment. Comprehensively, competently trained and knowledgeable
instructors are the essential element in realizing one’s potential
and enjoying the process of learning Pilates. Be sure to check out
the instructor’s credentials before
enrolling in a class.
How can Pilates improve my
running?
Most athletes know that they
need a stable base before adding
strength. Balance and stability
precede movement. Athletes are realizing that Pilates can provide the
tools to give them an edge. Focusing on the deep abdominal muscles
as well as the lower back and buttock muscles for core strength is a
pre-requisite for explosive speed,
power, and injury prevention. One
of the most important factors for
runners is the synchronization of
Second Wind
breathing with movement.
Joseph Pilates designed his
method with the goal of improving
the way a human body gains stamina through breathing properly as
well as skeletal alignment and core
strength development. Additionally,
Pilates stretches the muscles that
are tight and strengthens the ones
that are weak, especially those of
the hips, legs, and back. A balanced
pelvis supports the lumbar spine
and sets the feet and legs in alignment.
Practicing Pilates three or four
days during the off-season and two
or three days during the season will
improve your physical condition
and performance. It will stabilize
the pelvis and give more range
of motion and flexibility in the
extremities. It will stretch the hip
flexor and hip extensor muscles.
It will help the injured runner who
wants to rehabilitate and prevent
re-injury. It will develop a balanced
body that helps to keep your knees,
ankles, hips, and hamstrings as injury-free as possible by correcting
muscular imbalances that can cause
dysfunctional movement patterns
throughout the body. Dysfunctional
movement patterns can prove quiet
serious in ultra runners, as they are
exacerbated by the mileage we put
in.
Since Pilates works from the
inside out, many athletes may not
“feel” the effort with each exercise. For most of the exercises, this
would be correct but you must have
faith that they are really working!
Why? Because when starting
a program, you are training the

low load muscles that you should
not feel when you work. These
are the muscles close to the joints
that should fire first to protect you
from injury. However, most people
develop their superficial muscles
(quads, calves), the ones that
shouldn’t fire first since they are
not designed to protect the joints.
This can result in injury or a slower
painful running gait.
Pilates will re-program the timing of muscular firing patterns and
enhance motor control. The basic
Pilates fundamentals of breathing,
pelvic and spine positions, and
shoulder girdle stabilization are essential before progressing into any
advanced exercises.
There are of course a number
of variations of the 25 basic exercises which are more advanced
than you will feel. Keep in mind
that these advanced exercises take
years to build up to. You may feel
strong enough to do them but the
exercises are usually not performed
precisely and with the control
necessary. You are probably just
wasting your time. Therefore, when
beginning a Pilates program, it is
highly recommended that you take
a class or a few one-on-one sessions taught by a certified instructor
who can give you the proper cues
and information to do the exercises
right.
Pilates involves six principles:
breathing, centering, control, concentration, fluidity, and precision,
all of which will take time and
patience to develop. So stick with it
and do the best that you can do. It
is not a competition!

Land Between the Lakes
By Brian Kuhn
The run was to start at 6:00 a.m.
and the skies were ominous. They
made the announcement that the
rain was to start the same time as
the race — and it did. Within seconds of the start, the skies opened
up and we were poured upon. This
lasted for the first mile or so and
then after that the rain was on and
off, but never as hard. The temperature at the start was in the lower
60s and was supposed to warm up
to the mid-70s later in the day. I
got warm but not too hot.
The course begins and ends with
a 1.5-mile jaunt down a road to get
to the trail. Once on the trail, you
do three 11-mile single-track trail
loops. There were gradual slopes
in the loop but nothing too bad.
No real need to walk most of them
unless you wanted to. There was a
3-mile stretch that was a bit hillier
than the rest, but nothing even as
steep as anything at Clinton — just
a bit longer sometimes. For most
of the loop, we were running along
the lake, which made for some
nice views. The course got a bit
muddier as the day progressed, but
again, not too bad. I didn’t see any
shoe-sucking mud.
There was plenty of aid on the
course; 4 times each loop. My
stomach wasn’t dealing well with
the warmer weather so I didn’t eat
too much other than some hammer gel’s for most of the race (they
had some bad flavors too!). I also
switched to water, as the Gatorade
was not tasting good either. I ran
pretty hard at the start of the race

The late middle miles were the
toughest for me. I eventually felt

better the last 8 miles or so and
ran harder then. It’s always fun to
finish strong. Thanks to Jeff’s sister

Numbers Don’t Lie
By Bruce Rodgers
You can’t compare marathons.
There are just too many variables.
I can’t pass up, though, comparing
my differing strategies at races in
New Orleans and Little Rock, as
well as the results.
I did Mardi Gras on February 5,
2006. Tim Gill and I agreed to try
Jeff Galloway’s run/walk approach.
We planned to run a mile and walk
for 30 seconds, run a mile and
then walk 30 seconds. Galloway
recommends cutting out the walking breaks after mile 18. He says
your legs should be fresh enough
to take you the rest of the way in
good fashion. Our first walk came
at mile 2, and I only missed two
walk breaks due to restroom stops.
I did take an extra one at mile 20,
at which point I consumed a gel.
The last 5 miles I was tired, but
felt good enough to run the last 5.2
without any problem. The splits
are listed below. The course was
very flat, even flatter than Chicago.
I finished with an average pace of
8:32-per mile.
Based on my Mardi Gras performance, I thought I could run an
8:20-per mile pace in Little Rock.
The goal was to be at 3:38 and
change at the finish. This finishing
time would place me in the top ten
of my age group, according to last
year’s results. Steve O’Connor’s
goal was to break 4:22 for his
second marathon, after having run
a 4:27 in Chicago last October. He
decided to try the run/walk method,
and starting walking at mile 3. His
splits will be listed to compare

them with mine. I decided to try to
run the whole thing without taking
any walking breaks.
The Little Rock course could be
compared to running a marathon on
the Mountain Goat course at Kickapoo. To say the least, it was very
hilly. The weather at both Mardi
Gras and Little Rock was perfect.
Both starting temperatures were 44
degrees and both were around 59 at
finishing time. The only difference
was that in New Orleans it was

sunny and in Little Rock it was all
clouds. So take a look at the splits,
keeping in mind that at Mardi Gras
there were 30-second walk breaks
til mile 20. Also, notice the heart
rate average per mile. That is the
big story and the one that explains
why I bonked in Little Rock.
Considering that my lactic acid
threshold, or anaerobic threshold, is
163 beats per minute, you can see
the reason for the bonk. In Little
Rock I was already at 163 by mile
4, whereas in New Orleans it didn’t
happen until mile 9. In Little Rock,
my heart rate hit 170 by mile 6,
but in New Orleans it didn’t get
that high until mile 14. Big difference! The result was that miles 23
through 26 became the “walk of
shame.” You want to run, but your
legs just won’t let you. The result

Q. How often do you run?
A. I run between 30 and 40 miles a week.
Q. When and why did you start running?
A. I started running in 1979. My family has had
and still does have a lot of heart and cardiovascular
problems so I decided to start walking on my lunch
hour. I worked for the Veteran’s Administration in
Danville, and it was a half mile walk to the front
gate. I soon became bored with walking and started
running in the evenings.
Q. How long have you lived in C-U or area?
A. I have basically lived my entire life in this area
with the exception of a couple of years when I was
just a child.
Q. Why did you join Second Wind?
A. To be near other runners and to learn more about
running. The club used to have monthly meetings
with speakers. I learn a lot from the programs.
Q. What is your occupation?
A. I’m a retired registered nurse.
Q. Have you done marathons, triathlons, and so
on?
A. I’ve done 34 marathons, 3 ultras, and 4 or 5
duathlons. I haven’t done a tri because I hate swimming.
Q. Where and when are we most likely to see you
running?
A. Now that I’m retired I can run anytime during
the day. I usually run near Race Street and Meadowbrook Park. I also do many long runs at Mahomet.
Q. What other interests, hobbies, or pastimes do
you have?
A. I love to cycle. I have done several touring trips
in the U.S. and in Europe.
Q. Do you have any first impressions of our club
that you’d like to share?
A. The people were incredibly friendly and helpful.
I think the fact that the club was here help keep me
running.
continued from page 18
was also the finishing-time difference of over 13 minutes, plus
the added recovery time after the
marathon. Again, the hills had a lot
to do with it.
Now let’s compare my Little
Rock time to Steve’s. The chart below shows our finish time, not our
chip time but we started together so
it’s a true comparison. By the 6.8mile mark, I had shot off to a lead
of 3 minutes and 41 seconds. By
the half, I had a 7:14 lead on the
lazy walker. At the 20.5-mile mark,
the lead had grown to 10:22. Less
than six miles later, Steve beats me

by 1:13. I find that amazing. Not
that I got beat, but that this run/
walk method really works. I plan
to test it more closely by walking
20 to 30 seconds every mile in St.
Louis, and then running the whole
marathon at the Cincinnati Flying
Pig Marathon in May.
Bottom line: from all these
stats, don’t start out too fast, and
take walk breaks. Also, pay the
race marshals to keep an eye on
Steve. He had to cut the course
short somewhere during the last
four miles!

Across the Years Ultra
By Brian Kuhn
As I write this, nearly three
months have passed since I finished
the Across the Years race. My body
has healed and I have participated
in several races since. Even after
all of this time, I still have a strong
emotional attachment to this race.
It was both more than I expected
and less.
Across the Years (ATY) is a
24-, 48-, or 72-hour race held near
Phoenix on a 500-meter course
over the New Year. This was my
first time participating in an event
like this. I selected the 72-hour
run without knowing exactly what
to expect. The longest I have run
previously is 100 miles on a trail
in about 24 hours. I wondered how
my body would react to this. How
would my I feel? Would I be able
to sleep? Keep myself fed? Keep
mentally focused? Tolerate the
short loop? Will myself to continue
when I wanted to stop? Enjoy it?
Make it over 200 miles? I entered
this race mostly to try to answer
these questions for myself.
Logistically, the race is extremely well organized—I don’t think
they could have done more for us.
The course is run on a 500-meter
crushed gravel path. It is a relatively soft surface to run on and works
well late in the race when you feet
can only shuffle. Each time around,
the chip on your ankle is recorded
and results from the race are immediately projected on a screen.
You can see how far you have gone

and your last loop time. This also
allows you to keep track of the
other runners. Every two hours we
changed direction.
There was a well stocked aid
station right next to the course at
which you could get practically
anything you needed. With the
small loop, you would tell them
what you wanted (if it was something special) and they would
have it for you the next time you
came around. They had “real” food
several times a day. There was a
large heated tent just off of the path
inside of which you could set up
your own “camp.”
One final thing they provided
for us—communication from the
outside world. Through their Web
site, people were able to send
messages that were delivered on
slips of paper while we were out
on the course. I received well over
100 messages during the race.
Everything from well wishes and
encouragement to poetry, jokes,
and requests to get the web camera focused. My favorite was one
telling me that I could sleep when
I was dead. These messages were
greatly appreciated. Thanks to all
who sent them.
Day 1: We were off and running at 9:00 a.m. I ran solidly the
first 3.5 hours, garnering about 20
miles during this period. It’s possible I went out too fast, but I felt
like I was taking it easy. At this
point, my right knee, which had
been sore from a trail marathon a
few weeks before, started to bother
me. I decided to take it easy and
secondwindrunningclub.org
Brian Kuhn
started walking. I didn’t realize it
at the time, but my running was
basically over at this point. The
knee would never get better, but
walking did not seem to bother it at
all. I tried running a bit more later
on the first day, but this was not as
fast as my earlier running. Since
walking didn’t hurt my knees as
running did, I decided that I would
probably walk the rest of the race.
At 3 miles an hour (less than 12
laps an hour), I could still complete
216 miles over the duration of the
race—a very respectable distance.
And I can walk faster than that.
The first day continued on with a
lot of walking. Later in the afternoon on that day, I caught up with
Marty Kennedy. I would end up
walking a lot with her over the subsequent days. She is from southern
California and has experience with
multi-day staged adventure races.
She had never done a continuous
three-day race before. She is also
involved in search and rescue operations and has a lot of experience
walking long distances. Anyway, it
Second Wind
worked out well to join up with her,
since she had a fast walking pace
also. We were walking very consistently—around a 4:40/lap pace
and passing a lot of people. When
I did try running, I was only doing about 4:10/lap, so walking was
clearly the best choice, given that
it was not painful as running was.
The only significant break I took
the first day was around 3:00 a.m.
(70 miles in), which was a 1.5 hour
break. I went to my tent and tried to
sleep; however, there was too much
noise in the tent and I was unable
to sleep. Sound carries very well
inside the big heated tent. Someone having a quiet conversation on
the other side of this tent sounded
like they were right nearby. Even
though I was unable to sleep, the
rest break was good for me.
I got started again around 4:30
a.m. and made decent progress. I
was very comfortable in this cooler
weather now, and I discovered that
4:00 a.m. to sun up was my favorite time to be out there every day.
The temperature seemed perfect to
me. For some reason, I was always
colder earlier in the evenings, and
after a break of some kind, when I
went back out, I was comfortable.
I kept moving all morning at a
steady walking pace and was feeling pretty good.
I was happy with my progress
at this point and felt I had a good
chance to make my goal of 200
miles. At 9:00 a.m., after one day
on the course, I had gone 86 miles.
The plan was to get to 150 miles
in the next 24 hours; then I would
only need 50 miles the last day.
Day 2: People were telling me
that this would be the toughest
day of the race. I had previously
figured that the third day would be
the worst since it was the last and
I would be the most tired. Well, as
it turned out, the second day was
definitely my worst of the three.
I had a great first day in which I
had made good progress and did
not tire myself out too much (I
thought). My good progress continued on the second day until a bit after 1:00 p.m. when I went over 100
miles. By the end of this stretch,
my legs were telling me they were
tired and that I would have to give
them a break for a bit.
After a brief 1.5 hour break, I
knew that I had to get going again.
I didn’t intend to take as long of a
break as I did, but I just felt wiped
out. I did manage to get moving but
I never felt all that great. I got to
about 111 miles by 6:00 p.m., but
I was really dragging by the end of
this stretch. I decided that I needed
to stop again for a bit. I had a few
blisters at the ends of my pinkie
In Passing
toes that were bothering me a little.
I had taped them earlier in the day
(along with my other toes for good
measure), but this was not helping
much. Admittedly, the toes were
probably only part of my problem
at this point. I tried to take a bit of
a sleep break again but I did not get
much sleep. I was really kind of
bummed out at this point. I didn’t
feel well enough to head back out
to the course but I couldn’t seem to
rest either. I just had a total lack of
energy. I somehow decided to go
over to the medical area to see what
was going on. They were working
on several people’s toes, doing blister repair and preventative taping. I
hadn’t intend for them to work on
my toes, but as I was sitting there,
I decided that since that was one of
my problems, maybe it would be a
good idea to have them take a look.
Anything to pass the time.
They got around to working on
my feet. Chris O’Loughlin was the
one doing the work. He said that
most of what he was doing was

straight out of John Vonhof’s book,
Fixing Your Feet. He drained the
blisters with a small syringe and
needle. After they were drained, he
applied Tincture of Benzoin, which
is an adherent to help the tape
stick to the feet. Then, he applied
a single layer of tape over most of
the surface of the feet. The toes
were individually wrapped and the
whole bottom surface of the foot
was also covered. They were like
mummy feet. After he was done, I
went back to my tent and started to
get ready to run again. I was somehow optimistic that things would
go better at this point. As it turned
out, the fix worked and blisters
were no longer a problem the rest
of the race.
After a bit more of a break getting food and drink, I tried to get
back on the course. I thought I was
feeling pretty good and looked
forward to getting some more
miles in, but I couldn’t get my legs
going! Over the next 45 minutes I
managed to get in only 6 laps, and
it was a struggle the whole way.
My legs were just too stiff and
wouldn’t cooperate. I was starting
to get a bit discouraged. I decided
to go back to the tent and try to get
a real night of sleep. I ended up
sleeping for almost 6 hours, waking
a bit before 6:00 a.m. I was now
at 114 miles and had decided that
it would be nearly impossible (or
very difficult) to make my goal of
200 miles. I think this was a good
thing for me—it stopped me from
worrying about any specific goal
and my new goal was to go out
and just see what I could do. This
should have been my only real goal
from the start anyway.
This extended break seemed
to work for me. When I got back
on the course, I was feeling pretty
good again and moved at a reasonable pace. I managed to get to
about 125 miles by 9:00 a.m. on
Day 3.
Day 3: The third day turned
out to be pretty good. I continued,
taking short breaks here and there,
but was generally out on the course
most of the time. I stopped and
watched Yiannis Kouros set the
new 48-hour world record. I think
he was more tired than me at this
point, as he had barely stopped for
2 days. For me, the third day was
nothing like the previous day when
I just couldn’t get myself going.
The highlight of the day, and
possibly the race, for me, was in
the early evening when after a short
break, I was feeling great and really got moving. I started walking
faster and faster and was eventually
passing the runners while walking. I was practically running, but
still walking. I got several loops
in under 3:30. My legs felt like I
had just started the race. People
were cheering me on because I was
doing so well at this point and this
motivated me further. However, all
good things come to an end, and at
9:00 p.m. when they changed the
course direction, I was spent and
slowed down to my more regular
walking pace. I used all of my
excess energy in this burst. I have
wondered how I would have done
long term if I saved this energy and
used it more gradually.
I didn’t have any real problems
the rest of the race—I just kept
moving along at a steady pace
when I was out on the course. At
midnight, everyone stopped and

had some champagne to ring in
the New Year. The workers and
everyone then walked a lap while
they set off fireworks. Very pretty.
At 3:30 a.m., I had been walking
with Marty again, and we decided
to take a few hours off to sleep.
I’m not sure I needed this break
but I decided that since I had no
real goal, that I should just take it.
A bit after 6:00 a.m. I was back
out on the course moving along at
my steady pace and continued this
til the end of the race. We were
fortunate and ended up having just
enough time to finish a final loop
before 9:00 a.m. We were the last
ones to finish the race. I ended up
with 178 miles.
I’d like to thank Tracy Thomas
for deciding to run this race. I told
her that if she did it, I would also.
We are both much better off having
done this race. She was awesome
out there and inspired many people.
I look forward to going back to this
race (this year).
What I learned:
• earplugs are very nice (and necessary) for sleeping in the tent
• I needed shoes that are even
larger than my usual (oversized)
running shoes
• proper blister care can be a godsend
Things I should do better next
time:
• train
• avoid long breaks during the run
• try to keep moving

Graced Lightning Strikes Fast and Hard
at River to River 2006
By Rachel Lindner
I knew this year’s Illinois River
to River Relay was going to be
memorable when I found out
my team’s roster. The group was
comprised of Melony Barrett, Jane
Domier, Becky Kastin, George
Ringler, Paul Ellinger, Van Hartman, my Mom (June Lindner) and
me. Our team, Graced Lightning,
certainly was graced that day,
at least weather-wise. Morning
temperatures were in the 50s, but
climbed to approximately 84 by
noon.
Our team arrived at the race at
about 7:10 a.m., which gave lead
runner Melony only about five
minutes to prepare. Her runway
was so steep it gave new meaning
to the phrase “running yourself into
the ground.”
Our first few legs went smooth,
contrasting the upheavals that
would later emerge. Just two
minutes before the scheduled start
of the race, we watched as another
team ridiculously tried to unload
mountain bikes from their vehicle.
We nicknamed these people “Team
Doofus.” Later on in the race, our
team member George was buzzed
by a speeding red sports car. The
car’s driver blatantly ignored the
cries of race volunteers and the
mad scrambles of the surprised
runners. He had to be doing at least
60 mph! We all heard a resounding crack as the car passed George.
We later found out George had

smacked the car’s hood with our
baton, damaging both the baton
and, probably, the car’s hood! Hee
hee! I was personally responsible
for running the race’s sixth leg,
infamously known to be hilly and
tough. One of the final hills was so
steep I felt that had I fallen down,
my forehead would only travel
inches before hitting the ground! I
knew that my running duties were
almost over by the time my third
run had come around, though. I
made it through this leg, despite the
negative comments from my calves
and quadriceps about my lack of
hill training the weeks previous.
Team Graced Lightning finished
the relay in 10 hours, 11 minutes,
7 seconds, 10th place in the mixed
division. After the race, we showered, feasted on food that included
secondwindrunningclub.org

corn bread and pork-chop sandwiches, and headed home. We had
an awesome day. Mom and I will
be in Texas this time next year, so
we probably won’t make River

happy trail (and hill) running!

To Run (and Die?) in C-U
By Jeff Kelly
Night had long past cast its
dark shadow over the area, and the
streetlights illuminated an artificial
path. Long, dewy grass offered a
brief respite from the mercilessly
hard concrete streets. The cries
of children interceded upon the
night’s stillness like a harsh word
into a dream of utopia. These children were a trio, the largest of them
no more than probably 8 years old.
I paid them no heed. Why? Even if
the time was late, this was a public
park, a true haven for children to
act their age.
“There he is!” cried one of them.
Oh, how cute.
“Get the gun!” he called. Well.
We expect ourselves, as runners, to
be relatively free from life’s myriad
threats. Heart disease, old age, and
stress are just a few of the entities
we believe we can avoid through
regular exercise. We forget, however, that the act of running itself can
expose us to many new dangers.
I glanced nervously to my left,
where about 30 feet away, these
children were giving chase. In their
baggy pants, bright orange sweatshirts, close-cropped haircuts, they
were no longer innocent children
to me. They were predators. I
quickened my pace, in disbelief
that I was actually fleeing a gang of
youngsters. I have never been one
for meaningless confrontation, but
I was sinking to a new low here.
Were my fears warranted?
Recently, I stumbled into a
conversation with a crime-scene
investigator about the ill wills and
misbegotten generations of the
modern world. He thrust his hands
deep into his jacket pockets and
stared a hole in the wall as he told
me a story about a twenty-something gang-banger who had been
charged with shooting a young girl.
The girl was sitting in her home
watching television on a random
afternoon, he said. A car full of
young men, including the accused,
drove past and filled the house full
of bullets in an attempt to kill a
rival. They didn’t hit their target,
but instead struck the young girl.
The accused elicited prompt justification for his crime when interrogated.
“She shouldna’ been there” the
accused had told the cops. The
detective shook his in disbelief and
continued on with an emotional
diatribe about how the younger
generations are being inoculated to
crime. He conveyed extreme frustration with his job. He was a man
caught in a struggle to which there
is perhaps no end.
I was not shot at that night. The
kids probably had no weapons.
They were probably just playing
a joke on me, trying to see if the
skinny guy in skimpy clothing
would crap his pants. I didn’t…really. But when kids that young are
casually tossing out jokes about
brandishing weapons, how seriously will they take it when they
can actually perform the act when
they’re older?

RACES
I know that running and volunteering to work in club races are potentially
hazardous activities. I should not enter and run in club activities unless I am
medically able and properly trained. I agree to abide by any decision of a race
official relative to my ability to safely complete the run. I assume all risks
associated with running and volunteering to work in club races, including falls,
contact with other participants, the effects of the weather including high heat
