Here we are at the
start of our prime
running season
once again. Although one could
hardly complain
about our winter
since it was so incredibly mild, we
can rejoice in believing that the cold
temperatures are behind us and warm
sunny days are here. If you are a fair
weather runner like me, you are feeling
mighty happy about the change.
Thanks to all the dedicated CRRC
members and volunteers for the help
and support to the 33rd Chambersburg Half Marathon. It is our premier
event of the year and kicks off the
schedule of the many running events
scheduled over the next eight months.
Andy Mason’s column in this edition
showcases the highlights of the Half
as well as his awesome writing skill.
Andy puts you right at the finish line
and captures the excitement of the
race.
We have already begun discussing
changes to improve next year’s 34th
annual Half and I invite you to attend
the next monthly meeting on April 3
at 7PM at the Chambersburg Recre-
ation Center where we will conduct
an after action review of this year’s
race. Many thanks to Chris Monheim
and Rich Secrest for marshalling their
crews of volunteers to provide course
and finish line support this year. And
once again thanks to Mike Spinler
who biked ahead of the pack of lead
runners.
I also want to show my gratitude to
Laurie Dymond. Laurie’s performance at the Half this year resulted
in her double dipping (2nd Female
Master and 3rd Female Open). Simply incredible, Laurie donated her
checks to Cumberland Valley Athletic
Club and to the Chambersburg Boys
and Girls Club. Thank you so much
Laurie for your charitable generosity.
And last but not least, much appreciation for our many Half Marathon
sponsors. Take a look at the back of
your Half t-shirt and show your appreciation by supporting the generous
local businesses.
Thanks also to Tim Fisler for pulling
off another fantastic seminar in February. We had a great turnout with a
diverse array of presentations and an
engaging guest speaker, Jim Hage. Jim
had an incredible story to tell and has
agreed to contribute to our newsletter for the next
year. Welcome
Jim.
My kudos to Bill
Dann for suggesting and establishing a CRRC
FaceBook page.
There is considerable activity on the
page and the number of members has
grown significantly in the short while
it has been online.
Take note that our summer social
event is scheduled for Saturday June
30 at Black’s Woods in Mercersburg
this year. More details to follow when
tickets become available in early June.
Let me close by saying it is really
inspiring to see so many new faces
becoming involved in making our club
successful and helping Chambersburg
continue to evolve as a vibrant running community serving runners of all
levels and those who support running
as a valuable addition to a healthy
lifestyle. Happy trails.

Sarah Morrison - A Triumphant Return
The women’s
overall champion of the 2012
Chambersburg
Half Marathon
should be familliar
to many residents
of our community.
A recent graduate of Villanova
University and a
Chambersburg Area Senior High School
alumni, Sarah Morrison had a triumphant
return home.
Sarah has grown up, developed further
as an athlete, competed at the top level
collegiately and excelled academically at
a prestigious university. Sarah graduated
from Villanova University in the Spring
of 2011, with a degree in Comprehensive
Science. She currently is living in Bryn
Mawr, PA, and working as medical assistant. She hopes to begin medical school or
graduate school in the fall of 2013.
Sarah’s running career has numerous
highlights starting at her induction into
the sport. In 2005, she won the G-1600
at the States Track Meet, with a time of
4:59.36. During her senior year of high
school, she placed second at the State Outdoor Meet behind our newest contributor,
Neely Spence.
Sarah was recruited by Villanova, where
she ran both Cross Country and Indoor/
Outdoor track. She achieved high academic honors in a difficult program of
study. It is not easy to be an All American
academic while competing in 3 collegiate
seasons. Sarah’s awards did not stop with
her academics. In 2009, Sarah, was the
Big East Steeplechase Champion and set
the Villanova women’s steeplechase school
record . In 2010, she was on the Division
1 NCAA Cross Country team.
Academically, athletically and emotionally this is a lot for any person to balance.
After graduation from Villanova, Sarah
took some well deserved time off from
competing. When she decided to start
training again, she set her sites on the half
marathon distance.
“I choose to run the Chambersburg Half
Marathon as my first race back after I
graduated. I feel very comfortable and
proud to run in Chambersburg. I have
always had so much support from the
community, friends, family and previous
coaches.”
The race was not only a step back into
competitive running, but she ran to raise
money for a student-run homeless shelter
in Philadelphia. When asked how it felt to
win the half marathon she replied,
“It was such an honor to win the women’s
race because I know that it is not an easy
task to accomplish and the caliber of runners that come to Chambersburg for the
race is always good.”
To accomplish this much, you must have
an excellent support system. Sarah’s family is critical to her success and happiness.
She is extremely close to all members of
her family, but her mother has a special
passion for her daughter’s development.
“My mom is my biggest fan and has done
unthinkable things to let me be successful
in all that I do!”, said Morrison.
Her brother, Scott, who is currently
attending and running for Charleston
Southern University in South Carolina,
has evolved into a true confidant. She said,
“He is one of the kindest, friendliest, and
caring people I know, and I am so proud
to call him my brother!”
Her support system does not stop with
her family. Chris Monheim helped Sarah
find her way onto the track and off the
soccer pitch. Coach Monheim developed
her into a collegiate level runner during
her high school career in Chambersburg.
Sarah said, “He knew exactly how to get
me fired up for the big races - what to say,
when to say it, how much information to
give, and when to be serious or funny.”
Although she ran her fastest under the
coaching of Gina Procaccio at Villanova,
her ties to her beginnings are strong.
Sarah is adjusting to life outside of academia, where schedules were a bit more
flexible and conducive to training. She is
still finding time to train amongst a busy
and demanding work schedule. She is
persevering as she always has and toppling
her competition. Her work ethic and dedication to all her pursuits continues to pay
off. Start checking the local race results
for the future Dr. Morrison.

The 2012 Chambersburg Half Marathon
Youth was served at the CRRC’s 33rd
annual Chambersburg Half Marathon
on March 10.
The men’s champion was 24-year-old
Cameron Hanlin, who covered the
rolling 13.1 miles in 1 hour, 12 minutes and 13 seconds in his first time
on the course, while the women’s race
was won by 22-year-old Sarah Morrison, also a first-timer, in 1:25:48.
Hanlin, of Hagerstown, Md., pulled
away from Justin Cole over the final
miles to capture the victory. Cole, 23,
also of Hagerstown, was the runnerup in 1:12:47.
(and third among Masters) in 1:21:39.
Overall, there were 331 official finishers, making it the fourth-largest race
in event history.
Third place went to nationally ranked
Masters runner Matt Sandercock,
42, of Exton, Pa. His time of 1:13:05
was a Masters course record, eclipsing
Vitalig Byelovol’s mark of 1:14:09 set
last year.
Morrison, the former Chambersburg
Area Senior High School star who
now lives in Bryn Mawr, Pa., won the
women’s race by a half-mile.
Lori Gleichenhaus, 40, of Carlisle, was
the runner-up (and Masters champ)
in 1:28:47, while Laurie Dymond, 46,
of Chambersburg, finished third in
1:29:25.
Cameron Hanlin at the finish
Their victories came a year after the
husband-wife tandem of Vitalig and
Tetyana Byelovol, of New Jersey, swept
both the men’s and women’s overall
and Masters titles.
Dymond’s performance was remarkable, as the local longtime runner
smashed her previous best time on the
course by a whopping six minutes.
The top Chambersburg resident on
the men’s side was 48-year-old Tim
Schuler, a former two-time champion
of the race, who finished 10th overall
Laurie Dymond and Edgardo Villagomez
The youngest finisher was 13-year-old
Madison Hurley, of Greencastle, who
crossed the line in 2:12:26. The oldest
was 69-year-old Bill Harden, of Buffalo, N.Y., who finished in 2:03:08.

Crosstraining and Staying Healthy Part 1
It is that time of year when many of
you have just completed the Chambersburg Half Marathon or are in
your final preparations for a spring
marathon. Your bodies may be starting to feel tired and ready for a break.
I am going to talk about some benefits
of crosstraining and show you how
replacing one day per week of running with something else can not only
keep you injury free but help you stay
mentally fresh and physically ready for
the rest of the season.
Swimming is probably the best all
around workout you can do. The
tricky thing with swimming is that
it is as much about technique as it is
about fitness. Once you get the technique, swimming is something you can
do anytime and all the time. The recovery time from swimming is far less
than any sport so you can swim hard
3 or 4 times week without it affecting
your other workouts. The one thing
about swimming is take as little rest
as possible to see the best results. You
usually only need about 10 seconds of
rest per 100 at race pace. More than
that is considered full recovery and
your HR will already be cooling down.
As far as burning calories and taking
the pounding off your body, you won’t
find a better workout than swimming!
Next is pool running and this is the
closest you can come to running. The
key is to stay as close to your normal
run form as you can. The first few
workouts will feel weird but after you
get a feel for the water you should be
able to tell what your body is doing. This will work the run specific
muscles. For those who are a little
Gear Buzz Around The Runner’s Sole
IRRA is an acronym for Independent
Running Retailers Association. This
association consists of 168 independently owned running shops throughout the country. Many of these have
one location and a few employees. The
purposes of the association are infor-
mation sharing, amongst other things.
However, with what seems to be a
strong association, each small shop
owner experiences the same types of
struggles; unfair pricing from large
store chains and online warehouses.
dinged up or injured heading into a
race getting some pool running in can
really help you keep that fitness. I
have several athletes who will pool run
once a month as one of their long runs
just to help avoid injury and to work
the muscles. It is best to start with a
belt the first few times, but as you get
more comfortable in the water, mix
in some segments without the belt
and eventually you will be able to go
longer and longer without the aid of
a flotation device. Bob Kennedy used
pool running the summer leading up
to his American Record for the 5000
meters.
Next month I will get into a few
more that will help you enjoy the hot
weather and sunshine!
In a recent round table discussion
within the IRRA members regarding a
24 page supplemental advertising pullout in the April edition of Runner’s
World by Dick’s Sporting Goods store,
small running shop owners now realize that we have lost our last sanctuary.

Gear Buzz Around The Runner’s Sole
The initial reactions from small shop
owners were to take out a collective ad
against the big retail giant, but even in
the best of financial times, IRRA members can’t match the deep pockets of an
organization that operates 525 stores
within the United States. The problem,
however, isn’t that Dick’s is advertising in the monthly magazine, but the
unfair prices that Dick’s offers. A small
shop owner cannot set the prices for
lower than what they purchased the
product for, but large corporations
can. Their margins are made up in
other areas and products.
Finish Line is another major chain
that has created problems for the small
shop owner. With their overwhelming 700+ stores in the United States,
they are able to offer prices that shop

acids. Glutamine is used to perform
owners cannot match. The unfair pricing is overlooked by many of the shoe
manufacturers due to the volumes that
are purchased by the large corporation
within a year’s time.
Aside from the brick-n-mortar chain
stores, online warehouse retailers are
hurting all levels of brick-n-mortars.
Even the chain stores such as Dick’s
and Finish Line have overhead to pay
for, but online warehouses have even
less overhead and offer prices so low
that chain stores can’t match.
The only benefit that the small shop
owner has is the customer service.
Most small shops are owned by runners who understand the needs of runners. Small shop owners are usually
more educated in the sport of running,
more educated in the products, more
several important functions in your

have more passion for not only running as a sport, but relating to their
customers. Large chain and online
warehouse employees may be well
rehearsed to regurgitate the information about the product as it was given
to them, but many times they become
lost when a customer begins to ask
questions outside the rehearsed babble.
It’s a major challenge in this economic
state of the country to operate a small
business and keep the doors opening up everyday. However, despite the
financial challenges that all of us in
the association are facing, collectively
none of us could imagine doing anything other than showing up at their

following intense or prolonged periods
of running or other forms of exercise.
When you are running, glutamine
is being sent from your muscles to
your liver and converted into glucose.
This glucose is then sent back to your
muscles to provide energy. Glutamine

that intense/prolonged sessions of
exercise can cause the glutamine levels
in your blood to drop significantly--one study found the decrease to be
as great as 45%.

For most runners glutamine supplementation is a good idea and poses no
real downsides. Because glutamine
facilitates post-workout recovery,
your recovery drink is a great place
to supplement your glutamine intake.
Look for a drink that contains at least
500 milligrams of glutamine, with 1
gram or more being preferable. You
can find drinks containing up to 6
grams of glutamine per serving. This
may be more than you need but it is
still a safe level. Ultragen or Hammer
Recoverite are two options you might
want to try.
Race day advice for the lower extremity:
Do not wear new sneakers or change
sneaker style on race day. Be sure to
have at least one long run in your race
day sneakers prior to the race. This
goes for socks as well. The risk of
blisters and or injury from doing this
is significant.
For longer races (1/2 marathon plus)
Carry salt pills for cramps, band-aids
for blisters and Vaseline (smear a small
amount in a baggie) for chafing. These
can all fit in a small race style pouch.
If it rains consider having someone
with dry socks and sneakers at a water
stop. A 2 minute delay to change
could prevent a blister or injury leading to a DNF.
Make sure you sneakers are comfortably laced and you run a warm up in
them. Double knot if they tend to
come undone. Warm up based on the
race length, strides for shorter races,
slower for longer races. Stretch dynamically as well.
If you cramp up, stop, stretch the
cramped muscle for 30 seconds (or
longer if the cramp remains) and then
go but pick up the pace gradually. Do
not try to make up time immediately
or you will cramp again.
If you get a blister, stop and cover with
a band aid, re-lace sneakers to avoid
the pressure spot if possible. If you
have a history of blisters, protect vulnerable areas with proper lacing and
band aids before the race.
Body glide on the feet or anti-perspirant spray, synthetic socks that fit
well and sneakers that fit well and are
properly laced can all prevent blisters.
If it is cold you can cover the vents/
mesh area of your sneakers with duct
tape. Do not wear two pairs of socks
or insulated socks unless you have
done this on a long run prior to the
race.
If something hurts, slow the pace. If
the pain persists, stop and check the
area out. If pain still persists and you
have to limp to run, it is best to call it
a day. If you feel something pop and it
swells, then stop and get help. Do not
continue. Better to not finish then to
finish and not be able to run for a few
months due to an injury.
The most important thing for a successful race is to try nothing new on
race day and to have everything prepared in advance of the start so that all
you have to do on race days is pin on
your bib and go.

-The Extra Mile
Do not go gentle into that good night.
I was pleased to be the featured
speaker at the club’s second annual
seminar on Feb. 18. Mike Hayduk and
Tim Fisler, among others, provided
first-rate organization and demonstrated classic leadership from the top.
The nearly 100 attendees asked intelligent and interesting questions, keeping discussions focused and pertinent.

additional thoughts.
Mike suggested that, at the age of 54
and with my fastest times decades
behind me, I came across as intolerant of the natural decline in my racing
performances. It’s true that I’m not
happy about my deteriorating times,
although I’m aware that many would

easily coexist, but I know that training harder is likely to lead to injury.

3/8-The ElliptiGo
ElliptiGo anyone?
2/24-Research
The people of Franklin County
thought they had seen it all… from
horse and buggies to recumbent bikes,
the roads of central PA have many
alternative modes of transportation
thanks to the Amish and Mennonite.
However, this week, Shippensburgians were introduced to the ElliptiGo.
An elliptical/bicycle that is flashy, easy
to maneuver, and a great workout!
Adding this new element has enhanced my training. The founders of
ElliptiGo are excited and enthusiastic.
They emailed me all the information,
research, videos, and tips regarding
training with an ElliptiGo. They put
me in contact with their specialist who
has conducted studies on how similar
the ElliptiGo is to running.
I submitted my research proposal
to the review board at Ship for my
senior research project. I am conducting a study on Effective Communication in Coaching Athletics. As I
have explored this topic throughout
my four years as a communication
major and coaching minor, I found
how little research is out there on this
important topic. I found that much
of the research has just compared
a coach’s role to that of a corporate
manager; a teacher; a motivator; or a
public speaker. I am excited about this
project because I aspire to be a coach
and want to be able to communicate
effectively with my athletes. If there is
anyone else who is interested in being
apart of this study, please contact me
at [email protected], on facebook, or through twitter.
2/4-Keeping a Log
I have recorded every run since I first
began training competitively back in
8th grade. First, I just began by writing down the minutes recorded that
day on my calendar. Then I added in
more specifics regarding workouts,
and paces. My secret obsession as a
historian has developed over the past
eight years, and now I write down
everything. The workout, the paces,
amount and type of recovery, miles if
I GPS’d them, average pace, amount
of time spent in the gym, if I iced or
got a massage, if something hurts, and
if I happen to do anything else that I
think worthy of recording, it all gets
written in the log at the end of the
day. Thus, my calendar was becoming so filled with scribbles that it was
completely illegible. Obviously, it was
time for a change. I now can keep
track of my daily training routines in
a much more organized and effective
way. If you do not already use a training log, then this is my word of advice
for you: START.
1/26/12-The Journey
I have to ask myself so many questions; What are my goals for beyond
2012? What might I aim for in 2016?
Where do I want to train? What climate will I thrive in? What coaching
style/approach will best suite me? Do
I want training partners? Do I want
to travel frequently? The ultimate goal
is to end up in a place that will meet
my needs as an athlete as I work with
a coach and team, who together, all are
aiming for that same goal: to become
the best we can be. A poem that my
dad shared with me acts as a good
reminder:
