President's Column By Mimi Decker Come to the ANNUAL GRTC BANQUET on Saturday, October 17 at 5:00 P~. This is a great opportunity to load up on pasta and talk with your friends about the PR you expect to make the next day at the 1992 illLTON/GRTCMARATHON. Walt Check, the Knights of Columbus and the Hilton boys have done a great job making arrangements for the dinner. Guest speakers will be Norm Frank and Nancy Oshier. Hall of Fame and special recognition awards will be handed out. The price of $6.00 includes all the pasta you can eat, salad and bread. Join us at the Old Church Hall, North Avenue in Hilton. You ' ll have a couple weeks to recover from the marathon before the BRUEGGER'S BAGEL 5K on Sunday, November 1 at 9:00 AM, at the Jewish Community Center. Bob DiGiacco could use some help on that race, so give him a call if you're available - 328-5894. Word on the street, and the track, is that Bob Dyjak's RACE WITH GRACE 10K is one of the better races in the area. Let's all support Bob and take a break from our holiday cooking on Thanksgiving Day, November 26 at 9:00 AM. The Club is looking for volunteers to help out with several key programs including the Winter Youth Track series, and our Freezeroos. Interested? Please give me a call at 461-3122. Orienteering for runners On November 14 the Rochester Orienteering Club will hold an orienteering meet for runners at Durand Eastman Park. Orienteers use a map to navigate as quick! y as possible between flagged checkpoints. The runner's course, designed with newcomers in mind , will feature flags aiong roads and trails. The orienteering won't be too difficult but there ' ll be plenty of running . Anyone who enjoys trail running, crass country or hashi ng - or just Ii kes an occasional run in a park - wil l feel right at home. Have a good fartlek workout in a forest setting and experience a new sport at the same time. GRTe Phone: 271-8733 Registration opens at 12:00 and staggered starts run from i2:30 to 2:00 from the Golf Clubhouse on Kings Highway . The $4 entry fee includes a color map of Durand Eastman Park.

Itls time to start thinking about increasing your weekly mileage in hopes of successfully reaching your goals, whatever they may be. If you're an experienced marathoner or a novice, we hope you consider participating in the Hilton/ GRTC version this year. The race also features a four-person relay and an individual eight-mile run (new this year) . The course if TAC certified and can be used as a qualifier for Boston 1993 (tNY910042AM) • The race committee has been hard at work to improve thi s event and hopefully we will have a marathon everyone can enjoy. Members of the committee are Dave Tresoh lavy, Tom Ganley, Jim Merkel, Paul 'Lombard, Tom Lavery, Mike Mangan, Brian Sears, Bruce Quimby, and Walt Check. The other "KEY PLAYERS" are Steve Fowler, recreation director for the Village of Hilton, and Larry Gursslin, mayor of the village. As in the past, this race has no paid positions ; we are all volunteers and all entry ~ees are used to support the race itself. I hope Ito see many of you at this year's event, as a marathoner, relay runner, a-mile runner or race-day volunteer. IF YOU ARE NOT RUNNING WE WOULD LIKE TO PUT YOU TO WORK!!!

Don McNelly (Irondequoit) . :56.57 Picking up numbers In the Dakotas ... a running odyssey on the way to every state By Don McNelly Several years ago I became aware of a small group of runners, 12 to 15 at the time who were setting out to run a marathon in every State and the Di str ict of Columbia . What an ideal You had to have a minimum of 20 states to join their group as an aspiring member---in other words, on trial. I quickly picked up Indiana and stood at 16 at the end of 1989 . I 've been working on the project since then and had a total of 34 at the end of 1991. My new states come slow. I have too many favorite runs that I just can't miss each year. Early this year, Norm Frank joined me to do the states. He has the same problem, too many old-time favorites. However, since then, running together we have added Missouri, Montana, Wisconsin, and Delaware. We made plans tor the two Dakotas, with runs there only 6 days apart. I arranged to fly into Rapid City SD and out ot Bismarck NO, doing runs in ea c h and driving between runs to see the sights. Norm, being an entrepreneur, had to fly home between the two races to watch his landscaping business. The runs went great. The Dakotas are beautiful, seas ot prairie grass, wheat fields, cool forests, gorgeous scenery, with both runs along rivers The Black Hills Mar.athon was tough at the start with hills, but soon became more interesting with a 2000 foot drop after 6 or 7 miles. It is a course made for negative splits. Bismarck was along the Missouri Rive r , through the town and into flat plains. At the end , Norm and I, along with o ur friend Bob Poppe of Aurora CO , (326 marathons , age 70), were awarded rings made of Black Hills Gold . We don't quite understand why. We guess its for being 60+ and having run over 300 marathons. Walt Bo lleck, who is ahead of both of us in states, having all except Hawaii, ran with us but being only a kid of 40 something was not old enough to get a ring.

Deep in the recesses of every runner's mind is a lingering uneasiness about purchasing a pair of running shoes. Whether you're a hard-core runner or a novice, you know it's essential to choose a good shoe. First, know the five basic running shoe components: last, upper, outsole, midsole, and heel counter. The following provides a brief description of each: - Last: The three-dimensional model on which the shoe is built, lasts are average shapes made from surveys of many feet. - Upper: The main portion of the shoe that surrounds your foot, uppers used to be they're made made of of leather, but synthetic that breathe, are lighter, today fabrics washable and require little or no breaking in. - Outsole: The treaded layer glued to the bottom of the midsole, it resists wear, provides traction and absorbs shock. Midsole: Located between the outsole and the upper, it controls excessive foot motion and provides , cushioning and shock absorption. Heel Counter: The inflexible material surrounding the heel, it must be rigid and durable to support and stabilize the heel. Next, decide what type of foot you have. By now, you've probably heard a lot about pronation and supination and you may be confused. Basically, a pronator' 9 foot rolls ' inwards when running. I f you bend halfway at your knees and your kneecaps move toward the inside of the feet, the n your feet probably over-pronate. Pronators tend to have flexible feet, which can lead to injuries such as runner's knee, iliotibial band syndrome and tendinitis. A pronator should get a shoe that is board-lasted. The last and the upper come together via three techniques, one of which is board lasting. In boardlasting, the upper materials are pulled over the last and the ends are glued or stitched to the bottom. A board-lasted shoe is very supportive, which is ideal for the pronator. A supinator's foot rolls outward when running. If you bend halfway at your knees and your kneecaps move toward the outside of your feet, your feet probably oversupinate. Supinators tend to have rigid feet and cannot absorb shock as well as pronators, so the supinator is more prone to ankle sprains, stress fractures and pain on the outside of the shin and knee. Supinators should look for a sliplasted shoe or a combination-lasted shoe. In slip-lasting, the upper material circles the last, with the edges stitched together on the bottom. Slip-lasting is light and flexible. Combination-lasting uses two methods, with the board process in the heel and the slip process in the forefoot. This construction provides stiffness, but flexibility in the toe area. Now what if you bend halfway at the knees and your kneecaps point in the same direction as your feet? Then your feet probably don't supinate or pronate, and you don' t have to worry about purchasing a shoe with special features. Regardless of whether you're a supinator or pronator, there are some basic things you should check for in shoe construction: 1. Determine whether you need a straight, semi-curved or curved last. The shape of the last determines if you have enough room for your longest toe to push forward naturally during each step. To determine the shape of your foot, stand on a sheet of paper and trace the outline of each foot. Superimpose your drawings on the soles of the shoes to see if the size and curvature are a good match. 2. Make sure your shoe has a padded tongue to cushion against lace pressure and a padded ankle collar to cushion the ankle and help prevent Achilles tendinitis. 3. If you run on dirt or grass, get a stud or waffle outaole because they improve traction and stability. 4. If you run on asphalt or cement, go for a ripple sale. 5. Know what type of midsole cushioning you're buying so you can predict how long your shoes will la~t. EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) is a light foam ' with good cushioning, Untying slaoe l'fIysteries but it breaks down fairly quickly. Compression-molded EVA is harder but more durable. PU (polyurethane) also but a foam, it is is denser, heavier and more durable than EVA. Many shoes are now cushioned with gel, air bags, silicone and foam that are encapsulated in the midsole of EVA or PU. This cushioning lasts longer than previous methods. 6. Make sure the shoe has a heel lift of about one-half to one inch. It enhances the shoe's ability to absorb shock and reduces strains. 7. Check the quality control of the shoes. Put them on a flat surface near eye level. The midline of the heel counter should be perpendicular to the surface. Check the quality of stitching, eyelets and laces. Make sure the sale layers are evenly and completely glued to each other and to the upper. Look and feel for lumps and bumps inside the shoe. 8. Be sure the sole flexes easily where your foot flexes. Buy shoes wi th removable insoles 50 you can modify or replace them with orthotics.

(Editor's note: Be sure to buy your shoes from a reputable, established and knowledgeable retailer who will stand behind his/her recommendation and be able to answer any questions you may have about running shoes. Also be sure that your shoe choice is comfortable from the start - never assume that a shoe will "break in". And wear your new shoes on several training runs before you race in them to assure their comfort and suitability for your needs.) DR DAVID H.

He is attempting to put together a comprehensive program to make drivers more aware of cyclists and runners who may be sharing the road with them. The cornerstone of this program is the development of an inexpensive bright yenow biking jersey with a "share the road" logo prominently displayed to make cyclists more visible to motorists. The idea is presently in the inception phase. but he is currently defining the logo for the jersey and is searching for a clothing manufacturer to assist with this venture. Three cheers this month for the crew of the Hamlin Beach Triathlon. In just a few short months, these people got together and saved the last local race (and the World Championships of Rochester .... ). Three cheeers to the many volunteers who helped set-up, orchestrate, and then tear-down for this race. Race director Lew Asmuth did a masterful job despite the traditional weather chaos which turned the SBR into a RBR at the last minute. Its good to see that many of the club members are putting something back into the local tri-scene. Thanks again Lew and all the Hamlin Cast!!! Dennis wrote an editorial entitled "RATS in Mourning" in the August issue of Triathlon Today. In it he mentioned the idea of the cycling jersey and logo. As a result of this publicity, Lew Kidder (publisher of Triathlon Today) and others have shown a real interest in the project. Lew may be willing to promote this idea nationally through his magazine. He has also contacted some of the triathlon clubs across the nation (Tri-Maryland and others) to see if he can drum up interest in this idea and maybe make this a national phenomenon. In the September issue there was a follow-up editorial from Frank Schroeder (a triathlete from Mo.). In it he also expressed some interest in the project. This idea is on the verge of taking off! The Department of Motor Vehicles has their own "share the road" program in place (though not too visible). Dennis is trying to incorporate their program into this also. He has a few other ideas about this program (pamphlets, etc), but he is looking for input from others. If you have any thoughts on the subject, or would like to help Dennis out with this effort, please give him a call.
