Marking the
Miles
Congratulations to all you Lopers who
trained, ran and finished the 22nd Los
Angeles Marathon! We are especially
proud of all you first time finishers!
What a thrill it is to come across that finish line for the first time. You will never
forget that feeling!
I also want to again thank all our Volunteers, who, behind the scenes gave
of their time and training each Sunday
morning so others could prepare for
LA. I particularly want to express my
appreciation to our Clinic Directors Jim
and Penny Hughes; Ernie Asebedo; Bill
Carter; Susan Pentecost; Christel Drier; our faithful Pace Leaders; our Water Stop Volunteers; and Chuck Harget
(whom we miss very much) and anyone
else I have overlooked. You all did an
outstanding job and enabled the Lopers
Club to conclude another very successful L.A. Marathon Training Clinic!
I want to warn you to resist the temptation to ‘let down’ after the L.A. Marathon. This is the time of year when we
do not have a structured program each
Sunday morning, even though the Club
continues to meet year-‘round. You have
attained your running base and good
physical condition at a hard won cost
and you will want to continue with regular running/walking. It is recommended
to take it fairly easy for about a month
after your first Marathon. Shorter runs
and walks, but regular and consistent exercise. This gives your body a chance
to rest and regain strength while still remaining active. Stay with it. We need
you and you need the Club for next year
and a lifetime of health and fitness.
By the time you read this, the Marathon
will be history but I want to encourage
you to attend our Annual Lopers Banquet on Sunday night, March 18, 2007
at 6:00 PM at the Wong Kerlee Pavillion
on the Campus of Loma Linda University. It is always a fun night where we
President’s
Message
by Jim Walling
exchange stories, bragging rights and
have a chance to reminisce over dinner.
There will be a raffle and some very nice
pictures of the Marathon thanks to Dexter Emoto and Tom Ballesteros. This is
one of the highlights of our year and you
really will not want to miss it. We encourage you to sign up for it now so we
can make an accurate order for our food.
Yes, you can wait and pay at the door but
please, if you can, sign up in advance.
Good news for our Club, the Beaumont
Ave. Bridge is almost complete over
San Timoteo Creek and it is sure to be
available for next season. We hope to
have the new bell (that Lillian Miller
purchased some time ago), installed and
the rest stop ‘spruced up’ as a place we
can rest and catch our breath along the
course before August 2007.
And finally please consider becoming
one of our ‘core Volunteers’ for next year.
It is our Volunteers who keep the Club
running from year to year and we are really short of Volunteers who are willing
to commit to weekly jobs for the Club.
Please give it some thought. Whether it
is you, your friends or family that might
be available we really need regular help
for the next year if the Club is going to
be able to continue the services to our
Members… See you Sunday.

Editor’s Notes
By Nancy Mitchell
Greetings fellow Lopers! Congratulations to everyone that completed the LA
Marathon! If this was your first marathon, a “Big High Five” to you for your
accomplishment! You are indeed a hero
to your friends, families and co-workers. Stay tuned as our spring issue coming out in April will cover the race in its
entirety!
At this point, many runners and walkers may ask “OK, I’ve completed my
first marathon…now what?” Well, a lot
of that depends on you. Hopefully this
has opened a new and exciting world to
you of running, walking and keeping
a more active, fit lifestyle. Many new
Lopers stay with us and go on to complete more marathons, 5K’s, 10K’s and
Halves. Speaking of Half Marathons,
we have a lot of pictures this issue from
the YMCA Highland Half. Better check
them out! Our roving photographers,
Dexter and Tom may have “caught YOU
in action!”
We also have a great article by Sandy
Wible about this year’s Holiday Classic.
Hat’s off to Sandy, Becca and Allison for
doing an awesome job as Race Directors
this year! Also a big thank you to Jim
and Penney Hughes for being our Clinic
Directors and to our many volunteers
who have faithfully been helping out
the club all year! Our volunteers will be
acknowledged at the annual Loper Banquet on March 18th. (see the announcement on page 8). If you would like to
volunteer and help out for next year’s
program, we’d love to have you aboard!
See Jim, Christel, Susan or any of the
Board members and they will welcome
you with open arms!
Enjoy this issue everyone and “keep on
keepin’ on!”
Lopers Rockin’ Out at PF Chang’s Arizona!
On January 14th, many Lopers “pounded
the pavement” and “rocked out”, Arizona
style, at PF Chang’s Rock and Roll Full
and Half Marathons. The race started in
Phoenix and eventually all were rockin’
through Scottsdale and Tempe. Weather
was a “chilly” 40 degrees, cold for us
CA people! But, none the less, all had a
great time doing the whole or the half.
Those that have participated in a Rock
and Roll race know that it is known for
the bands at most mile markers and the
upbeat, party atmosphere which usually
makes a fun time for both race participants and the crowd of loyal rooters that
you find cheering along the way.
Lopers that participated include (forgive
us if we missed anyone!):

Dexter’s Dialogue
By Dexter Emoto
“And The Winner Is…”
“I’ve learned that finishing a marathon…isn’t just an athletic achievement.
It’s a state of mind; a state of mind that
says anything is possible.”
John Hang,
“The Essential Runner.”
Congratulations Lopers! You have just
completed the 22nd Los Angeles Marathon! For the runners and walkers who
started in July training with the Loma
Linda Lopers, we salute you! Welcome
to the marathon club!
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences’ held the 79th Awards
Ceremony on Feb. 25, 2007. If you can
imagine this scenario: I stopped by and
picked up an Oscar for the Loma Linda
Lopers Running and Fitness Club. The
category was for “Best Running and
Fitness Club.” As Steven Spielberg announced, “And the Winner for the Best
Running Club to finish the LA Marathon
on March 4, 2007… the Loma Linda
Lopers!” As I walked up to the podium,
I was given a standing ovation by all the
runners in the Kodak Theater. It was
awesome! My acceptance speech was
simple, “On behalf of the Loma Linda
Lopers Running and Fitness Club, we
are honored to have received this Oscar for completing the 22nd Los Angeles
Marathon. We will continue to train and
prepare runners/walkers to participate
in the Los Angeles Marathon. We are All
winners, there are no losers!”
For Team Blindness Support Services
(Team BSS), their “Oscar” dream has
come true by completing the 22nd Los
Angeles Marathon. The Loma Linda
Lopers are honored to have Team BSS
members train with our club. I recently
met and spoke with Cynthia DeSoto,
Director of Resource Development for
Blindness Support Services, Inc. Here is
her story:
“I felt that having TEAM BSS train with
the Lopers would provide them with
many benefits. The support alone would
How often does anyone get to hold an
Oscar in their hand? At 8.5 pounds, 13.5
inches tall and bronze plated with 24 kkarat gold, it is a piece of art. As I completed my story for this Loper article,
I imagined this scenario took place. It
seemed to fit. I am sure at one time or
another, all of us have dreamed of taking
home an Oscar!
be instrumental in achieving our goal: to
raise awareness, and to participate and
complete the LA Marathon; by integrating into the sighted world working towards a common goal. The result would
inspire others and most of all, develop
camaraderie. In addition, the Lopers provide a safe training environment. There
6 sighted and 6 visually impaired members on TEAM BSS. Participating in the
Lopers has built a foundation and continues to encourage TEAM BSS that the
challenges can be overcome. THANK
YOU LOMA LINDA LOPERS!”
“It all started with Cesar Martinez, a
computer student here at Blindness Support Services. Cesar was a running enthusiast prior to losing his sight 5 years
ago due to Diabetic Retinopathy. He as
had diabetes for 23 years and suffered
kidney failure plus he has had 3 amputations. The words “I can’t” are obsolete
from his vocabulary. ‘You can do anything if you just have the Will and Mindset.’ says Cesar.”
And The Winner Is… I present the Oscar
to BSS and all of the Loma Linda Lopers
who finished the Los Angeles Marathon
this year!
“Greatness is not in where we stand, but
in what direction we’re moving. We must
sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it—but sail we must, and
not drift, nor lie at anchor.”

Experiences as Race Director
by Sandy Wible
Last summer, Jim Walling asked Allison
Stewart, Becca Hastings, and me to be
race directors for the 2006 Loma Linda
Holiday Classic. While I felt this was
quite an honor, I also realized I did not
know anything about putting on a race.
Jim assured me not to worry and said
there was a “race bible” that had all the
information needed in it (note-always
worry when someone says not to). Once I
started looking through the race bible, my
anxieties quickly soared. I was amazed
by all that was required. There were so
many details that needed attention.
Once we decided to take on the challenge as race directors, the Loper board
was supportive in all our decisions.
Many of the board members and other
Lopers were team leaders, overseeing
different areas of the race. They included Jim Walling, Christel Dreier, Ernie
Asebedo, Russ Barber, Ruth Homan,
Nancy Mitchell, Dave Hessinger, Ron
Whitehead, Chuck Harget, and Bill Carter. Most of them had experience doing
this before and were able to tell us what
was needed. Our first task (and probably most difficult one) was to determine
what the date of the race would be. The
first Sunday in December was generally
set aside for the Holiday Classic. Well,
that was the day the Inland Empire Marathon (that was subsequently cancelled)
was supposed to occur. The second Sunday was the date of the Tucson and Las
Vegas Marathons. We tried to calculate
which of those two dates would be better so we would not lose volunteers or
racers to them. Since the Inland Empire
Marathon was local, we decided to not
do it on that date. December 10th was
determined to be race day.
The second big decision was what logo
would be used. The requirements are
it needs to have the Loper coyote and a
Christmas theme. We got together with
a friend and came up with an idea. He
drew the idea out for us, and the Loper
board approved it. To the graphic artist
the design went, and we were all quite
pleased when we saw it in on paper with
color. That design was to be used for the
race brochure, t-shirts, medals, etc.
Allie, Becca, and I divided the tasks and
started working. While there were many
large and small details to be covered, I
will only talk about a few of them. Once
it was remembered to order the all important port-a-potties, Allie went on-line
and found a site where you just put in
your contact information and port-apotty companies send you their information. She learned more about port-a-potties than she ever thought she wanted to
know. Becca was amazed with every-
With some anxiety, I opened the boxes
not knowing what to expect. I was extremely pleased with how they looked.
As a runner, you always want to have
nice weather for the race. An overcast
sky with temperatures in the 50s is always nice running weather. While a little sprinkle does not bother runners too
much, a lot of rain is not wanted. Race
organizers want no rain. We have to set
everything up in what seems to be the
middle of the night and be outside for
many more hours. I woke up at 3:00
a.m. on race day by the sound of rain
hitting my patio roof. It was not a little
sprinkle…it was a downpour. I quickly
started praying. The rain stopped about
45 minutes later. We had perfect weather
for the race.
As I reflect on the memories of that day,
I always think back to the last person to
cross the finish line. This person was so
excited in finishing. There were many
of her friends at the finish line to hug
and congratulate her. This person understood the true joy in finishing a race.
To quote from a card I received after my
first marathon, “It’s not the speed that
matters…it’s the getting there.” How
true it was for this person.
The Terrific Trio! Allison Stewart, Becca
Hastings and Sandy Wible.
thing that was involved in chip timing.
The chip timing, race bibs, participant
information, estimated number of runners and walkers, and finish line chutes
needed to be coordinated together. I had
the pleasure of being the person to order
the medals. While I was excited about
this, I also knew it was a huge responsibility. This was the first year the Holiday
Classic was to have custom medals. As
a runner, I know how important it is to
have a nice medal around my neck after I
cross the finish line and wanted to make
sure this was a classy one. I looked at
the finishers medals I have and decided
I thought the nicest ones were the ones
without color. I liked the antique gold
diecast medals and went with that. I
contacted several companies to get estimates. What a confusing task. After
about two months, the medals arrived.
While I was not always thrilled Jim asked
me to be a race director during the planning stages of the race, I am happy I did
it. I learned so much from the experience. I have always thought it is important to give back. I have strived to do that
in my work and church, and I have had
the opportunity to do that with my running. Besides being a race director this
past year, I have also been a pace leader
for the past two years. As humans, we
tend to be selfish and not want to give of
ourselves with volunteering. We think
others are taking from us. Just the opposite has happened to me as I volunteer
my time and effort with the Lopers. I
have received so much by learning about
myself and others. The time I spend on
the road and in planning meetings have
been enjoyable experiences. I would not
change a single mile or idea for anything.
Take the opportunity to give of yourself
in your work, community, or running.
You will be glad you did.

By Russ Barber
Running and Performance
at Higher Altitudes
Running at higher altitudes especially
above 6,000 feet will dramatically affect
your performance. Forget about setting
a new PR at these altitudes unless you
are comparing your performance to another effort at the same altitudes.
The accepted theory behind altitude exposure is that max VO2 (the ability of
your lungs to provide oxygen to your
muscles as fuel) decreases 3-3.5% for
every 1,000 feet over 6,000-feet above
sea level. The decrease in barometric
pressure at higher altitudes results in less
oxygen absorbed into the blood. There
is plenty of air. It is just harder for your
lungs to take it in because of this lack of
barometric pressure.
For the average male runner (150lbs)
this would translate into about a 6 second loss per mile, per point in max
VO2. The average recreational runner,
at around 30 years old, has a max VO2
of about 50. For this individual 3.5% of
50 would be 1.75 points in max VO2, so
this person should expect to lose at least
10.5 seconds per mile for each 1,000 feet
above the 6,000 foot level. In a 5K race
at 7,000 feet this would approximate a 32
second loss in time based on max VO2
alone. Add to this that the body just isn’t
used to having to work this hard for the
same pace you will tire more quickly if
for no other reason than psychological.
This effect can be dramatically reduced
by acclimating to this altitude days or
even weeks ahead of time. The body
uses a process that produces Erythropoietin, (EPO) which kicks in when there is
a decrease in oxygen levels in the body,
known as hypoxia. Erythropoietin produces an increase in red blood cells until
the hypoxia is relieved. Distance runners, of course, can greatly benefit from
this process but it takes time to achieve
the desired benefits.
Living and training at high altitudes
however is not the answer. According
to Benjamin Levine, MD of Dallas, TX,
who is rewriting the book on altitude
training with his landmark research,
training at altitudes above 9,000 feet can
disrupt the body’s acid-base distribution,
increase ventilation, provide insufficient
oxygen levels to train competitively, and
may even cause muscle atrophy—all of
which, despite the increase in red blood
cells, can actually cause a decrease in
performance levels. “At altitudes below
7,000 feet you may see a small bump in
EPO, but nothing that will significantly
affect performance in most individuals,”
says Levine.
So what is the answer? As it turns out
to gain the benefits of high altitude you
should live at an elevation between 7,000
and 8,000 feet, where you will receive an
84% increase in EPO in about 24 hours,
but train at an elevation around 3,000
feet, or below, where training intensity is
not compromised. According to Levine,
EPO levels will return to normal, despite
still being at altitude, but the increase in
red blood cells and oxygen carrying capacity will remain. To get the full effects
of this regimen, the athlete must stay at
these altitudes for a minimum of three to
four weeks.
Successful application of this principle has
revealed improvements of 1-4%—significant when races are determined by minutes and seconds. According to Levine,
this may translate into an eight-second improvement for an elite 3,000m runner.
But let’s back up to the affects of running at altitude with out the benefit alti
tude training. In addition to the earlier
problem of loss of max VO2 there is
the problem of losing more body fluids
through respiration because of the dryer
air. In addition to this, there is less atmosphere to block ultraviolet rays from
the sun which can cause the body to feel
warmer and perspire more.
So, bottom line is to expect to run slower
for the same perceived effort at higher
altitudes. Remember that everyone is
different and these are generalizations.
Some will be affected more others less,
but all will be affected by altitude.

History of the Loma Linda Lopers - Part II
Those Were the Days Getting Started 1980-1983
By Jim Perry
By 1980, our club had established a reputation for two quality events, the Pigeon
Pass and the Orange Grove road races.
Many runners looked forward to “The
Tough One” as Pigeon Pass was called
due to its challenging climbs at 2, 5, 7
and 15 miles.
Dr. George Sheehan was our guest speaker the evening of March 10, 1980. He
spoke on the night following the Pigeon
Pass race and his presence “packed”
the amphitheater in the Medical center
that afternoon and later in Gentry Gym
that night as he shared his philosophy of
running and life. The close working relationship with Loma Linda University,
Medical Center and the Church would
enable us to bring Pete Studwick, the
“footless runner” and Dr.Ken Cooper
to our community during the first three
years of the new decade. Without their
financial backing, we could never have
provided the honorariums that these individuals received.
We are meeting now weekly for a long
run each Sunday with a few for what was
called “The Rooster Run” each morning
at 5:30am. The club has now grown to
200 members. Traveling all over S.Ca
to events was quite common with some
venturing farther afield.
Our original shirts were gold with a
brown logo. (the famous Loper Pink had
not yet been introduced!) Lopers: Yvonne
Monsauret, Mary Abel, the Abbott Family, Lillian Miller, Dick Johnson, Dave
Aswiderski, Lyle Deem, Harold Willis,
David Nieman, BobWindver, Vaneen
Parker, Lynn Brown, Carol Boyko, Pat
Biebendor, and Dave Roadruck* almost
ALWAYS brought home medals!
The first Honolulu Marathon tour was
organized that fall and a group of 14 enjoyed a week’s vacation in paradise. Five
people ran the marathon and we heard
about a unique training program that Jack
Scaff and John Wagner had started. These
running cardiologists had developed a
nine month training program called “the
Clinic” that had had great success.
In Feb. 1981, Ralph Pueshal, a new
member, led out in what was to last for
ten years, our own Honolulu Marathon
Clinic. We followed their protocol, used
their manual and rewarded ourselves
each year with a trip to Hawaii!
One other new member, Jody Payne,
can be credited with starting an interest
in “ultra” running. Jody, an experienced
tri-athelete and ultra runner, having done
the Over and Back Grand Canyon Crossing, the Iron Man and the Western States
100 mile trial run. She did the American
River 50 in April and the Western in June
where she improved her time by 5 hours
over 1979 finishing the third woman and
the first Over 40.
Ten seniors in the club participated
in the International Senior Olympics at USC that year. Harold
Willis had been doing this in previous years and organized us for
the track and field meet.
The Orange Grove Race that year
brought us our first Olympic runner. Julie Brown showed up with
her coach and ran the half in
1:15:33!
With a week in Hawaii costing
only $329, the culmination of the
clinic found 154 people in Honolulu. Altogether over 70 first timers
had completed their first marathon
at either Orange Grove or Hawaii.
As the new year and our fifth anniversary rolled around, Ralph Pueshel, our new president, presided
over the annual Banquet where
over 200 people hear special guest,
Dr. John Wagner tell us the many
benefits of an active running life
style. He had received his medical training at LLU.
The August Issue of Runner’s World
Magazine found our own Carol Boyko
as the cover girl. She was our fastest female runner with a time of 2:57 to take a
first place at the Rose Bowl Marathon.
We had experienced some losses-the
Gridley’s had moved to Montana, Harold and Vernette Willis lost all in the November fire in San Bernardino, and one
of our own had ended her life, but the
club would endure. We were runners!
