Rocket City Marathon and the back cover is a
full page ad for Cotton Row Run. Inside there
is a full page of marathon coverage. That’s
pretty good publicity for the Huntsville Track
Club’s two major events.

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE RUNNING
The January 29, The Huntsville Times
reported on the armed robbery of a jogger
on Hughes Road in Madison last December
11. The Decatur man was apprehended
and booked into Madison County Jail with
an $80,000 bond. He was also charged
with burglary and theft of another Madison
resident that occurred earlier in December.
UPDATE ON MIKE & BETTY DOOLEY
[Editor’s Note: In the July/August, 2011
issue we included an update on the Dooleys. For the members who knew the Dooleys, below is a picture I received in mid
January. For those members who didn’t
know Mike and Betty Dooley, they are long
time HTC members who participated in
most HTC races and were also regular volunteers with many friends in the area.
They joined the HTC in 1981 when they returned to North Alabama from three years
in Cape Canaveral; both were engineers.
From 1981 to 2006, they were a regular on
the local running circuit, running at least
twenty races a year from one mile to the
marathon. Betty won the Running Journal
Grand Prix one year, winning her age
group in the thirteen races she ran. She
won the HTC Grand Prix two times (1987 &
1989). She still holds 29 Alabama age records from 1 mile to the half-marathon, and
at one time was second among Alabama
female runners with the most age records.
HTC NEWS 214 - 14
In 2006 on Cotton Row weekend Betty suffered a stroke. Two years later they moved
to Texas to be closer to one of their sons.]
LETTER FROM A SUPER VOLUNTEER
Hello Harold and Louise:
You are two of the greatest volunteers I
have ever run across. You have donated
all of your adult life to the HTC.
I have finally come to a conclusion and
that is to leave the HTC. I started running
in 1968. I joined the HTC at the May meeting of 1976. A very good move. Onis and I
took vacation from work to work in the high
school invitational track meets more than
once. I worked with the city marking the
CRR and marathon course for 7 years.
This included the finish line for CRR about
2 am on a Sunday morning. Not much traffic. Also, we were in charge of making arrangements for the use of the parking garage. Also the clean up. Our main problem
came when the marathon course made
changes. It was practically impossible to
black out the old arrows. Remember the
finish line for the marathon? That should
make the books. I bought a motor scooter
to be used for marking the courses. I also
bought a Honda Goldwing motorcycle to be
used for out of town races (and other uses).
Some of the finest people on earth are runners and their families. I enjoyed every
minute of it.
Now the real reason that I am quitting.
About 2003 or 2004 I had back surgery. I
couldn’t run any more. I continued to walk
on my treadmill and do stretching exercises. I still do today. On July 9th 2010 I
blacked out at Wal Mart in Fayetteville.
This was after 57 days and nights of extreme jaw pain. I had all tests by our family
doctor, nurses, chiropractors, and what
have you. My doctor of about 30 years diagnosed it as whiplash. Then came Wal
Mart. I was transported to the Fayetteville
hospital. An ambulance was called from
Huntsville and to Huntsville Hospital I went.
On July 14th I had 3 bypasses, two days
later I had a stroke and 30 days later they
went into my heart and plugged a hole. I
have about recovered 100%. I still have a
slight balance problem. I could not understand why after 34 years of running this
would happen to me. The doctor said it
was heredity on my part. He also said had
I not been a runner I would have been dead
probably 20 years before. I say MOST
RUNNERS LIVE LONGER LIKE MONEY
IN THE BANK.
Another good reason for leaving, I will be
84 years young in April. Thank everyone
for putting up with us all those years. (After
thought: Because most people haven’t
seen us is after retiring from AT&T I started
working for the veterans as a service officer
in Lincoln county for 10 and one half
years.) Next to our Church I would consider the HTC the best organization I have
dealt with. May the HTC prosper forever.
Paul and Onis Goode
[Editor’s Note: The picture was taken at
the post Marathon Committee Dinner Meeting following our retirement as marathon
directors in 1996. Paul didn’t begin to tell
all the volunteer functions he was involved
in with the HTC. Onis advertised in the
HTC NEWS for many years until the post
office got picky about what type advertising
was allowed for the club’s non-profit mailing
permit – she sold insurance of all types.
HTC NEWS 214 - 15
The thing they did that I received the most
feedback letters (yes, before email, and we
received a lot more letters back then than
we do emails now) was their split timing at
the halfway point of the marathon. Onis
would sight each runner’s number and look
up their name from the competitor listing
and Paul would call their name, give them
their split time, then double it and tell them
what their finish time would be at that pace.
The 1996 Marathon Committee of 30 major task leaders, with 17 being husband/
wife teams, had been intact for many years
and was truly like family to us. All attended
the meeting and we have a group picture
plus the 30 individual pictures like the
above that is very special for us. One more
note; about the motor scooter: The original
course marker was Pete Sulyma, the original HTC ultra marathon runner I wrote
about in the last issue, ran the course directing were the markers were to be placed
as they were being painted by the city employees. When Paul took over, being quite
a bit older than Pete, he used a bicycle the
first year. That being somewhat inconvenient is why he bought the motor scooter. I
think you can say both exhibited tremendous dedication, but in different ways. And
there are a lot of really interesting stories
about the attempts to get rid of the old arrows Paul mentioned in his letter. If you
can think of one, I’m sure we’ve tried it.]
COMMENT CONCERNING RACE FEES
I received the following in response to
the email sent to HTC members providing
information about the four HTC races that
are free to club members. This is not the
first such comment published in the newsletter and stated to me as a Board member.
“That is really good to hear. It bothers
me that race entry fees have risen as they
have. It is not a problem for me, but there
are lots of young people out there who are
struggling just to put food on the table for
their families.”

KIDNEY CANCER REDUCED BY RUNNING
The article “Fewer Runners Get Kidney
Cancer” by Scott Douglas and published in
a Runner's World Newswire, noted that
there is a 76% lower incidence of kidney
cancer among those running more than 15
miles per week. That is according to research published in Medicine & Science in
Sports & Exercise.
More than 75,000 runners and more than
15,000 walkers were surveyed and they
were followed for between five and seven
years, according to the RWN article.
NANCY CLARK ON ENERGY DRINKS
Nutritionist Nancy Clark in an article in
New England Runner wrote the following
in answer to “Energy drinks contain magical
ingredients, such as taurine”.
“The magical ingredients in energy drinks
are caffeine and sugar. Although taurine
has been reported to enhance performance, the limited research was done on
rats. Newer research suggests taurine offers no ergogenic benefits.
To save
money, simply add a heaping tablespoon of
sugar to your coffee. You’ll get the same
boost. Better yet, eat wisely and sleep
more, you won’t need an energy drink.”
TOP 12 RUNNING / WALKING TIPS
1. Make exercise a priority; you deserve
to feel good.
2. Ten minutes a day is better than no
minutes a day.
3. Record your progress; it’s motivating
and keeps you honest.
4. Running and walking three times a
week, for 30 minutes or more, reduces
risk of breast cancer and heart attack
by half and diabetes by two thirds. It
also reduces risk of depression, osteoporosis and premature death.
5. Drink water all day; it’s hardly ever
enough.
6. When buying shoes, pay attention to fit,
not hype or price.
7. Find a fitness partner; it’s motivating
and fun!
8. Diets don’t work, regular exercise does.
Running and walking burn about 100
calories a mile – one of the most effective means of safe weight loss.
9. Leave your headphones at home or in
the gym; it’s safer.
10. Missed a workout? Don’t feel guilty,
just start again.
11. Move enough to puff a little bit and
work up a light sweat.
12. Have a goal; it keeps you going and focused.

IMPORTANCE OF HIP STRENGTH
Running long distances can put a lot of
stress on the lower body, especially the
knees and the lower legs. A few of the
most common running injuries are plantar
fasciitis, shin splints, runner’s knee, and
iliotibial band syndrome. When these injuries occur, runners look for answers. Often
they look at a new pair of shoes with promises of improved foot mechanics, which is
supposed to help their condition. Another
popular treatment option is orthotics for
your running shoes to correct foot pronation. Sometimes these approaches are
successful. Often, however, the same injury tends to return in a few months.
Sometimes an injured runner’s focus on the
lower legs and feet is misplaced.
A study done at the University of Calgary
by Dr. Reed Ferber offers hope to runners
that are getting tired of chronic knee and
lower leg injuries. The study’s findings
suggest that the root cause of most running
injuries in the knees and lower legs is weak
hip muscles. The researchers found that
89 percent of the patients studied had reduced pain within 4 to 6 weeks by following
a program to improve hip strength. This
makes sense because runners need hip
strength to stabilize their legs each time
they hit the ground, which puts extra strain
on the knees and lower leg muscles. This
is not to say that strong hip muscles are a
cure all, but it wouldn’t hurt to try strengthening the hips.
There are 5 simple hip strengthening exercises that can be preformed with a band
at home or a cable machine at the gym.
The exercises are hip adduction, hip abduction, hip flexion, hip extension, and hip
crossover. Check out coreperformace.com
for easy-to-follow videos and instructions of
these exercises.

TARSAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome (TTS) is a condition caused by abnormal pressure on a
nerve in the foot. The nerve that gets entrapped is the tibial nerve. This nerve goes
underneath the medial malleolus, which is
a bump on the inside of the ankle. A band
of fibrous tissue called the flexor retinaculum forms the tunnel that the tibial nerve
and several tendons from the deep calf
muscles go through. This tunnel is called
the tarsal tunnel.
Causes
1. Over pronation (feet rolling in)
2. Osteoarthritis from an old injury
3. Anything that can take up space in the
tarsal tunnel (tumor, swelling, etc.)
4. Tenosynovitis
Symptoms
The pain is most commonly described as
burning and tingling in the bottom of the
foot. The pain is made worse with activity
like walking and running. Symptoms usually improve with rest. If the condition
worsens the foot may become numb and
weak.
Treatment
Initially treatment should consist of rest
and ice. If the cause of your condition is
over pronation of the feet, then orthotics
may be warranted. Orthotics are inserts
that can be worn inside the shoe that support the arch and take pressure off the tibial
nerve. Active Release Technique (ART)
has specific protocols that can be used to
free up the nerve in the tibial tunnel. Kinesiology taping can be used to decrease
pain and swelling in the area. If these conservative treatments fail, surgical intervention may be the next step.

DOES COFFEE CAUSE DEHYDRATION?
A mid January article by Amby Burfoot
on Runner's World Newwire was titled
“Moderate Caffeine Intake Doesn't Lead to
Dehydration”.
“A British team recently researched the
does-coffee-cause-dehydration question in
what it says is the first such investigation of
regular coffee drinkers. Conclusion, in a
word: no.”
This was not a study on people who exercise. Drinking alcohol during the study
was prohibited, but otherwise food and
drink intake was normal. “The researchers
wanted to determine the effects of coffeedrinking on everyday folks.”
The American College of Sports Medicine said in a 2005 determination: "Caffeine ingestion has a modest diuretic effect
in some individuals but does not affect water replacement in habitual caffeine users,
so caffeinated beverages can be ingested
during the day by athletes who are not caffeine naive."
The analysis was that going to the bathroom after drinking coffee is simply eliminating the fluid intake because coffee is
primarily water. Yes, coffee is a diuretic but
only for its own fluid content. So it doesn’t
dehydrate you, but neither does it hydrate
you. Their suggestion following exercise:
“Rehydrate with non-caffeinated beverages
first so that, in the short term, your fluid
levels return to normal more quickly.”
Energy drinks contain large amounts of
caffeine and thus should not be used to rehydrate following exercise.
KEY TO SUCCESS: MOTIVATION
[Editor’s Note: As detailed in the two part
article, “Motivation and Athletic Performance” (issues #199 and #201), motivation is
the result of a variety of human virtues.
Stressed in that article was that motivation
is just as important in everyday life as is in
athletics to be successful. Thus participation and success in athletics is important
training for a successful life. Author Harvey
Mackay attended the Beijing Olympics and
was impressed with the high level of qualities possessed by the athletes. The following are excerpts from his post Olympic arti-
cle; “Keys to success for Olympians can
apply to all” was published in The Huntsville Times, September 21, 2008. The title
of his article and in its contents also notes
that relationship; after all his articles are
business motivation related. Some of the
excerpts have been edited for brevity.]
Heart trumps just about all the other
senses when it comes to accomplishing the
new and unknown. There’s no denying the
heart of a champion.
An athlete can have the perfect body for
a competition or the best coach, but if they
don’t have a deep down burning desire to
achieve something, they won’t accomplish
it. Sometimes desire is more important
than talent. Determination can turn the
ordinary into extraordinary.
Dedication is training for months, even
years for just seconds or minutes for a successful competition. There are no shortcuts in the world of sports and life.
Athletes must stay focused on the goals
above all else. Truly dedicated individuals
won’t let anything interfere with attaining
their goals. That’s why so few people become champions.
It takes a lot of sweat, sacrifice and
discipline to become an Olympic champion. If it were easy to become the best,
everyone would do it. No one can do it for
them. Perfect preparation makes perfect.
Athletes have to believe they can
win….that they have done everything in
their power to compete at the highest level.
There can be no fear of failure. Confidence enables them to perform to the absolute best of their abilities.
I love to watch and study athletes as they
are getting ready to compete. You can see
them running through their races or routines in their heads. Nothing distracts them
because they exert total concentration
and focus.
The breakfast of champions is not cereal,
it’s competition. It’s healthy. It keeps athletes sharp, makes them better and improves quality. Athletes should not only
welcome stiff competition, they should actively seek it. They’ll never realize their full
potential in business or sports unless
they’re challenged.
There are many things that can go wrong
in life, so athletes must be mentally prepared for whatever happens. Sometimes
HTC NEWS 214 - 18
they have to perform at their best when
they’re feeling their worst.
Champions
block out the pain and do what’s necessary
to win or get the job done. They exert
mental toughness.
I learned long ago that projecting oneself
into a successful situation is the most powerful means there is of attaining personal
goals. Vision doesn’t do the planning, and
it doesn’t anticipate the obstacles. It gives
a real idea of what is possible, if only they
want it badly enough.
Life is not always fair. Sometimes
things happen that are out of one’s control.
Judging can be uneven, conditions may not
be perfect and equipment can fail. Champions know how to deal with it. Don’t let
age be a deterrent.
THE FATHER OF DISTANCE RUNNING
Browning "Brownie"
Ross set in motion the
sport of distance running as we know it
and all enjoy today.
“Ross devoted his life
to spreading his love
and enthusiasm for
long distance running
and is often credited
as the cornerstone to
the development of
long distance runners
in the U.S. today.”
His senior year in high school he was
crowned the N.J. State Mile Champion and
National Interscholastic Indoor Mile Champion. Following high school he joined the
Navy and fought in World War II. After the
war he became a standout track athlete at
Villanova. After graduation he won many
awards including winning 8 National AAU
Cross Country Championships.
He competed in the 1948 London Olympics where he became the only American
to compete in the steeplechase final, placing 7th. At the 1951 Pan American Games,
Ross placed 1st in the 1500 meter run,
shared 1st in the 3000 meter steeplechase,
and finished 4th in the 5000 meter run.
Roger Bannister’s classic autobiography
“The Four Minute Mile” includes mention of
a race in London that Ross ran against
Bannister.
Ross was a teacher and coach and it has
been stated that in his later years he organized about two dozen races each year
where he lived in Woodbury, NJ. He continued to run three miles a day until his
death in 1998.
In 1955 Ross recognized the need for
distance running results to be published
and widely distributed in order to increase
the public's awareness of the sport. Shortly
thereafter he created the Long Distance
Log, the only publication at that time devoted exclusively to long distance running
in the USA. In an editorial Ross proposed
American distance runners form a national
organization that became a reality in 1958.
Over the next 20 years he edited, published
and mailed the Log to subscribers
throughout the country that increased to
about 1,000 subscribers when it was discontinued in 1975 in favor of the RRCA
publication Footnotes.
In 1957 he formed the Philadelphia Road
Runners Club. In April 1958 the New York
Road Runners Club with 29 members was
formed and held their first race in February,
1959. About the same time several other
road runner clubs were formed around the
country in opposition to the AAU’s restrictions on open road races, lack of providing
road races for the running public, and restrictions on women, masters and children
competing in races. History of the RRCA in
the RRCA Handbook noted, “…with the
exception of the New England area, there
were very few distance races in the U.S.”
On February 22, 1958 Ross and nine other
long distance runners held a meeting in the
Paramount Hotel in New York where they
founded the Road Runners Club of America. Ross served as the first RRCA President.
Ross was one of the original inductees of
the RRCA Hall of Fame. Something that I
am most proud of is that in 1988 Ross, the
founder of the RRCA and who I consider to
be the most influential person in the sport,
suggested to Jim Oaks, who was a member of the RRCA HOF Nominating Committee, write the nomination for my induction to
the HOF. Something that most of you
probably don’t know is that Jim Oaks has
served on the RRCA Hall of Fame Selection Committee for 32 years starting in
1983 to the present. He has served as the
committee chairman two times, 1991
HTC NEWS 214 - 19
through 1993 and again 1997 through
2010. I don’t know all of the members who
have served on the committee, but of those
I do know 15 are in the HOF.
The Browning Ross Spirit of the RRCA
Award is named in honor of Ross which
two HTC members have won.
In 1996 Jack Heath interviewed Browning Ross which was published in the
American Runner that year. The title of
that article was: “Browning Ross: The Father of U.S. Distance Running”. The article
was reprinted in Runner’s Gazette in December, 2006 where I obtained some of the
information for this article. In the article
running author Tom Osler is quoted as stating: “Ross is to running what George
Washington is this country”. Information
here also came from the HOF section of
the RRCA website, other websites and
from various publication sources including
the RRCA Handbook, history chapter.
The following are several Ross quotes
from the interview that gives some background of what the sport was like in the
1950s and his views of the sport. In that
day the AAU was the governing body for
the sport. Later it was TAC and currently it
is the USATF.
To the question: “You were threatened
with expulsion by the AAU for helping
women run in the 1950s. Can you explain?” “Susan Morse, an Olney High
School runner, asked me if she could run in
a marathon in Philadelphia. Since I was
the Middle Atlantic AAU Long Distance
Chairman, I approved. She ran well and
finished but the AAU promptly barred her
for life. Thus we organized the Road Runners Club of America and started to stage
our own races.”
To another question about his current
view of the sport Ross stated: “Colleges
should strive to bring back dual meets instead of big meets every weekend. This
would encourage rivalries and also take up
less time. I just finished two days of officiating at the Big East meet at Villanova and
even I was bored. People do not want to
spend eight hours at a track meet.” Later in
that answer Ross noted that more opportunities should be given to non-scholarship
athletes to compete after graduation from
high school. And this: “High Schools
should drop the metric distances for run-
ning events. People are more familiar with,
and interested in, the mile and two mile
rather than the 1600 and 3200 meters.
Why have running distances in meters and
field events in feet if you are trying to encourage interest in the sport?” Boy!, do I
agree and so do many others because
there is now an organization Bring Back
the Mile (www.bringbackthemile.com).
To the question: “What is your definition
of a successful runner?” “A person who
sets goals but fits the training in with the
rest of his/her life. It should not consume
you. It’s not fair to your family, which
should come first.”
SOME THOUGHTS TO LIVE BY
“Things turn out best for the people who
make the best of the way things turn out.”
“Winning takes talent; to repeat takes
character.”
“If you don’t have time to do it right, when
will you have time to do it over?”
“Do not let what you cannot do interfere
with what you can do.”
“Success is never final; failure is never
fatal. It’s courage that counts.”
“Be more concerned with your character
than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”
“Never make excuses. Your friends don’t
need them and your foes won’t believe
them.”
“Happiness begins where selfishness
ends.”
“Failure is not fatal, but failure to change
might be.”
“It’s the little details that are vital. Little
things make big things happen.”
“Consider the rights of others before your
own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights.”
Coach John Wooden
ROAD RACES ARE NOT IN AN ARENA
Unlike most sports road races are not
held in an arena, stadium or other sports
facility. For the most part they are run on
public roads and thus have an impact on
the general public. In a previous newsletter
article I expressed my concern that we may
be wearing out our welcome as a result of
the inconvenience imposed on the general
public that has no interest in our sport, and
HTC NEWS 214 - 20
governments which must authorize the use
of public roads and to some extent the use
of funding from taxes paid by the public.
That was expressed in the Runner's
World Newswire article “Some Smaller
Marathons Suffering Despite Boom”, by
Scott Douglas.
The article noted that
“Some get shorter or canceled; others
saved by ad hoc groups.” The article began as follows:
“This year's New York City and Chicago
marathons were the biggest in the races'
history; with 50,266 finishers, New York
City was the largest in history. When the
year-end totals are available, it's highly
likely that 2013 will set a U.S. record for
number of marathon finishers. But as recent news reminds, there's a concurrent
counter story, with some smaller marathons
struggling to stay on the calendar.”
The article noted that, “the Joplin, Missouri city council dropped its support for the
Mother Road Marathon” and “the Rockfest
Marathon, held in Hampton, New Hampshire in October, announced that it will be
only a half marathon in 2014”. The Rockfest Marathon had a combined 5,000 runners in the half marathon and marathon in
2013.
The Joplin City “council thought the municipal funds devoted to the race weren't
merited given the event's declining numbers.” The multi event races went from
1,657 participants the previous year to 572
this year with only 176 of those being in the
marathon.
"Issues concerning long delays to area
residents on the roads of Hampton have
prompted us to limit the event to the half
marathon distance only," race organizers
said. It further stated, “town residents have
complained that the race is too much of a
disruption to normal traffic patterns on larger roads.” The article also noted that
marathons in Columbia, South Carolina
and Eau Claire, Wisconsin were also cancelled. And conclude with the following:
“As we've reported throughout 2013,
many towns are pushing back against the
ever-expanding road race calendar. Because they require more road closures and
last for so long, marathons are especially
subject to cost/benefit analysis from local
officials.”
Another Runner's World Newswire arti-
cle published in November was titled, “St.
Paul, MN May put Cap on Number of Road
Races”, with the sub-title, “Noise, street
closings, and parking tickets are among
complaints”.
“The economic benefits and charitable
tie-ins may be plusses, but the inconvenience and noise and disruption, especially
from road closings and even limitations on
residents’ access to their own driveways,
are beginning to weigh heavily on some
psyches in St. Paul.”
One council member stated, "It's just too
easy now for people to come out with their
own event every year. It seems like every
year there's more and more."
A city resident stated, "The events and
celebratory atmosphere are a benefit ... but
it comes at a great cost to the neighbors.
My hope is that the city and event planners
seriously work to find reasonable solutions
to neighbors' frustrations.”
Another frustration was, “With the music
and announcers that accompany road
races, noise complaints are growing in St.
Paul, too.” One of the major concerns in
St. Paul is that too many races were using
the same courses and becoming an inconvenience to the same residents too often.
A December article by Jon Chesto, Managing Editor, Boston Business Journal
discussed the problems with two races in
the area. One was the Rockfest Marathon
noted in the first RW article above and the
other was the cancellation of the Quincy
half marathon. Participation was not the
problem, “The main reason: traffic complaints from people who live along the
routes.”
Maybe organizations that put on races
should make their own value analysis before governments have to do so as a result
of public pressure. When government has
to do it under public pressure the outcome
may not be to the benefit of the races. The
resulting impact on the sport might just be
much less if organizations and race directors themselves take actions to solve or
minimize the public inconvenience and cost
problems. That has always been a concern
for the HTC. Club races are spread around
town from Mooresville, to UAH, to Alabama
A&M, to Monte Sano, to south Huntsville;
and a number of club races are held on
trails with the Summer Fun Runs held at
HTC NEWS 214 - 21
the Running Park. However many non-club
races that have sprung up over the years
seem to be concentrated downtown or in
areas where HTC races have been held for
years. The HTC has been around for more
than 40 years so residents (also a lot of
race participants) assume all races are
HTC races, thus the club usually gets the
complaints. The issue of parade permits
has been before the city council several
times in the past. Let’s not go there again.
BEWARE OF WHAT YOU SIGN UP FOR
The article, “Free Half Marathon That
Wasn’t” by Matt McCue in a Runner’s
World Newswire is about a lady in Oklahoma who signed up for the Free Half
Marathon in Glendale, Arizona that was
never held. To sign up required a $50 deposit which supposedly would be returned
when picking up her race number at the
race expo. The race was to be put on by
the event company Heavenly Racing out of
Las Vegas, Nevada. The article also reported on a husband and wife who signed
up for another such event requiring a $50
deposit that would be returned when crossing the finish line. IO Events company out
of Arizona advertised the Really Big Free
Marathon which was actually a half marathon to be held in Henderson, Nevada.
Neither race was held and in both cases
information on their websites was not forthcoming nor did they reply to repeated
emails. The lady did finally get her $50
back after the race director had been interviewed by Runner’s World. IO Events went
bankrupt and that couple is still waiting for
their refund.
In both cases the race directors seemed
to have good intentions from the information given in the RWN article. However
they were not able to get permits to hold
the races and could not secure the sponsorship that was to pay for the events.
However, there was no excuse for not corresponding with the participants of what the
problem was and not promptly providing
the refund of the $50 deposit. Considering
travel and other expenses such a situation
can result in significant aggravation and financial loss.
Recently there was a really long article in
Outside Magazine titled “The Shadiest
Man in the Racing Biz” written by Gordy
Megroz. It was about Dean Reinke and his
for-profit road race company USRA Half
Marathon. Reinke has been around since
before I was president of the RRCA in
1983-86. My involvement with Reinke was
back in the 1980s. I didn't have any problems with him as I had learned about him
from past RRCA presidents and others involved with the RRCA. When he was a
Rep for Brooks I had him as a clinic
speaker for the marathon and he did a
good job and for me the price was right.
On the outside he really is a charming and
knowledgeable guy and that is how he
takes advantage of charities wanting to
raise money. Now with the internet he
sucks in race participants that don't know
they may be paying for a race that will or
will not exist. What the article states about
him are nothing new, he just has more opportunity now through online registration to
take advantage of people that don’t know
about him.
Racing scams have become almost
commonplace by for-profit companies now
that there is money to be made in races.
Beware if it isn’t an established race put on
by a reputable event company or running
club, one that is an RRCA member club
that will be reputable and be insured
through the RRCA.
See the article
“RRCA’s Buyers Beware Tips when Registering for Events” in the September/October
issue #211 on page 29 of the HTC NEWS.
FITNESS INCREASES PAIN TOLERANCE
As runners we have come to know there
are many values resulting from getting fit.
Another that you may not have realized
was reported on by Scott Douglas in the
Runner's World Newwire article, “Getting
Fit Increases Pain Tolerance”.
Researchers in Australia tested the pain
threshold and pain tolerance of a group of
non-athletes. Then they put half of them
through an exercise program and tested
them again. While their pain threshold did
not change their pain tolerance increased
by 20%. Without getting into the details
here, what they found out is that it only required a relatively moderate exercise program and that it suggests a new psychological adaptation to training. "Exercise
training may facilitate the development of
brain function that increases tolerance of
HTC NEWS 214 - 22
these signals and associated sensations,
and this increase in tolerance may contribute to improved endurance performance."
Not a bad value to have, especially when
you get older.
MARY CAIN STILL BREAKING RECORDS
Mary Cain, now age 17 and competing
as a professional, has continued her record
breaking performances this year on the indoor circuit. In the Boston Unlimited Open
on January 16 in Allston, MA she ran a new
World Junior Indoor Record in winning the
1000 meters in 2:39.25, but that record
didn’t last long. On February 9, on a 200
meter banked track, she won another 1000
meter race in 2:35.80, again lowering her
WJR by more than 3 seconds. In that New
Balance Grand Prix race held in Roxbury
Crossing, MA, all of the top 10 finishers ran
personal best records, so she had to really
work for that win. And she came really
close to the American Women’s Open record of 2:34:19 held by Jen Toomey set in
2004.
In the January 24-25 Terrier Classic in
Boston, held on a 200 banked track, she
won the Mile in 4:24.11 setting an American Junior Record and just missed tying
the World Indoor Junior Record by 0.01
second. The old AJR was 4:28.25 which
she had set last year as a 16 year old. Her
1500 meter time was 4:06.63 also breaking
her old indoor AJR of 4:11.72. Finishing
second and third in personal records were
Abbey D’Agostino (4:28.31) and Jordan
Hasay (4:28.37), two of last year’s top collegiate distance runners.
D’Agostino’s
1500 meter time was 4:09.77 breaking the
collegiate record of 4:10.20. The American
Indoor Record Cain is chasing is 4:20.5 set
by Mary Slaney in 1982 – that’s the American Women’s Record, not American Junior
Record.
At the Washington Invitational, high
school runner Alexa Ephraimson from
Camas, WA (reference last HTC NEWS issue) ran 9:00.16 for 6th in a 3000 meter
race against a mix of professional and college girls. Ephraimson’s time set a new indoor American Junior Record, American
Youth Record, and High School Record.
The previous record of 9:02.10 was set last
year by Mary Cain. Her time was also better than the outdoor 3000 meter records.
The following concluded the announcement
of Ephraimson’s record performance: “She
will face Mary Cain in the Wanamaker Mile
at Millrose on Feb. 15th for one of the biggest showdowns in years.”
What the American middle distance runners are doing at the World level is simply
outstanding. Another of Cain’s American
Junior Records fell at the World Outdoor
Championships last year. At that meet it
was the first time ever that three American’s reached the 800 meter finals with
Brenda Martinez getting the bronze metal
with a 1:57.91 PR. This is what Track &
Field News wrote about Ajee’ Wilson in
that race: “The 19-year-old Wilson came in
6th but her 1:58:21 slashed the American
Junior Record from the 1:59:51 run at the
Pre Classic by young sensation Mary
Cain.” Note that Cain was just 17 when
she set the record last summer.
The Wanamaker Mile at the Millrose
Games has been considered the top indoor
mile race on the indoor circuit for many
years. I had the good fortune to attend the
meet in Madison Square Gardens back in
the mid 1960s when my job at Westinghouse sent me to Long Island, NY for 11
months to teach a course on a General
Mills computer to be used in NASA tracking
stations in Rosman, NC, Quito, Ecuador
and Santiago, Chile. Yes, really, the company that makes the breakfast cereal
Cheerios, and that’s a long, but interesting
story. Back then the Millrose Games was
primarily a male meet.
Cain and Ephraimson did meet in the
Wanamaker Mile facing 10 professional
runners. The mile started out as a slow
technical race at about a 4:40 mile pace, so
it would not be another record, but it did
end really fast – there’s that kick again.
Shortly after the half mile Cain and her Salazar coached Oregon Project teammate
Treniere Moser had had enough of the slow
pace and moved to the front picking up the
pace and the runners began to string out
behind. With about a quarter mile to go
Cain went into her kick and the race was
over as she ran the last 400 in approximately 60 seconds. Her 4:27.73 was good
enough to be the 2nd fastest American
Junior time. Treniere Moser finished second in a PR 4:28.86. In all 5 of the 12 runners ran PRs with one of those being
HTC NEWS 214 - 23
Efraimson finishing in 6th with a 4:32.15 to
become the 2nd fastest High School female
mile runner. The race was held on Cain’s
home track where she trains, so the crowd
went wild that last 400.
At the USATF Indoor Championships in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, on February
21–23, Cain was again a winner in 4:07.05
in the 1500 meters with a margin of almost
3 seconds over her training partner
Treniere Moser 4:09.93 and they were another 3 plus seconds ahead of third place.
According to Track & Filed News the race
was the fastest time ever at an altitude site.
Not a record but it was the 2nd fastest
American Junior indoor time and seven of
the 15 finishers ran PR’s.
In my nearly 60 years of following track
and field this potential, level of performance
and excitement doesn’t come around very
often, be it male or female. A female running a 1:59:51 800 meters and a 4:24.11
mile is World Class regardless of age and
competing in World Championships at age
17 is remarkable. As my old college
teammate and elite athlete in his day, John
Dunkelberg put it: “Mary Cain is the real
deal.”
A CAUTION FOR VITAMINS C AND E
The article “Vitamins C and E May
Lessen Fitness Gains From Workouts” by
Amby Burfoot in the February 13, 2014,
Runner's World Newswire stated “Supplements can cause increased oxidative
stress, reduced cell signaling”.
“A new human study published in the
Journal of Physiology suggests that runners should think twice about taking two
popular supplements, vitamins C and E.”
Fifty-four subjects were exercised over
11 weeks while taking 1000 milligrams of
vitamin C and 235 milligrams of vitamin E,
or placebo pills, daily. All the subjects experienced improvement by similar amounts
in VO2 max and included the following
note. “It is intriguing to note that the four
participants with the largest improvements
in running performance were all in the placebo group.” However, before-and-after
biopsies of the subjects’ quadriceps muscles showed that the supplements interfered with exercise-induced cell-signaling in
cell muscle fibers and the muscle tissue of
the supplemented runners showed signs of
increased oxidative stress. “Thus, supplementation with high dosages of vitamin C
and E appears to diminish some of the endurance training-induced adaptations in
human skeletal muscle.”
The study authors noted that, “The results are a bit confusing.” and provided the
following conclusion. “Vitamin C and vitamin E hampered cellular adaptations in the
exercised muscle, and we advocate caution
when considering antioxidant supplementation combined with endurance exercise.”
LA TO HOST 2016 MARATHON TRIALS
USA Track & Field has announced that
Los Angeles will host the Women’s and
Men’s 2016 U.S. Olympic Marathon Team
Selection Trials.
Both Houston and Los Angeles bid to
host the 2016 Trials on a multiple-loop criterium course with separate starts for men
and women, which were used in Houston,
who by all accounts had hosted a very successful 2012 Trials. The Trials will be held
February 13, 2016 and the LA Marathon
will be the following day.
A major controversy preceded the final
selection. As had always been done in the
past the Men’s and Women’s LDR committees voted at the USATF Convention to select which bid would host the Trials. Representatives from both committees unanimously selected Houston. As it turned out
the precedence and vote meant little towards the final outcome. USATF CEO Max
Siegel wanted LA and it was pointed out to
the committees that the USATF bylaws
don’t specify the selection process even if
has always been done that way. It was
also pointed out that the USOC owns all
rights to the Trials and that USATF simply
recommends a location to the USOC and
with no rule then the CEO has the final say.
Thus the USATF CEO and USOC wanted
LA and that was that regardless of what the
athletes desired.
Sounds like the old days of the AAU dictating to the athletes rather than representing them – and we all know what happened
to the AAU even though it literally took an
act of congress to get rid of them – may
need to drag out the RRCA Athletes Bill of
Rights once again. The Amateur Sports
Act of 1978 (S.2727) signed into law by
President Jimmy Carter gave the USOC
HTC NEWS 214 - 24
the mandate to resolve disputes through
arbitration. Have we come full circle where
the USOC is now the villain?
Probably should have seen this coming
when the LA Marathon LLC hired Tracey
Russell away from the successful Atlanta
Track Club and the World’s largest and
most prestigious 10K to be their CEO of a
marathon that has never been on the same
level as the major marathons in the world.
Seemed odd to me at the time and now it
makes you wonder if this was planned long
ago. It’s all about money. LA is one of the
world’s biggest media markets and the
Trails will be broadcast on NBC. I should
also note that McCourt Global acquired the
operating rights to the LA Marathon in
2008. Also this may be a show for the IOC
as it has been reported that LA plans to bid
for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. LA
held the Olympics in 1932 and 1984. It will
be interesting to see how all this turns out.
DEEP THOUGHTS ON RUNNING & MUSIC
I’ve heard it said that runners who are
compelled to listen to music while running
are the same people who are less than
comfortable when left to their own thoughts,
or put more simply, that only boring people
get bored when running. I’m not sure it’s
that simple. And I doubt it’s the same for
everyone.
But for me one truth stands out. Lifelong,
running and music have been such important parts of me—in essence, two of the
three great joys of my life, matched only by
parenthood—that each deserves my full attention. When I offer that, each bestows
upon me its own unique and magnificent
reward.

Track Club.

RETIREMENT ARTICLE FEEDBACK
Harold & Louise,
This afternoon, I received the latest HTC
NEWS. I could not help but marvel over
the tremendous contribution the two of you
have made to the HTC and the running
community in general. I did not start racing
until I was 50. At the time, I lived in Dothan
and, then, in Guntersville. This meant lots
of driving early in my racing career for me
to stay active in the Huntsville area running
community and, regrettably, I did not make
much of a contribution to that community,
unless frequent racing could be considered
a contribution. But, nonetheless, you have
probably, unknowingly, made me feel at
home here doing the thing which has
meant so much to me as I have grown
older. I just wanted to say thanks.
Mac (McCrady)
Harold,
Jeff forwarded to me your retirement column in the HTC newsletter. You have
much to be proud of – quite a "career" of
service for both you and Louise and I
wanted to offer my sincere thanks for your
friendship over most of those 40 years. (It
was 1977 when I showed up in Alabama in
my mother's VW with a box of Running
Times flyers in the back. I met both you
and Nick Costes during my swing through
the state.) Where has the time gone?
I hope our paths will cross in the near fu-
HTC NEWS 214 - 25
ture. Jeff keeps talking about a gathering
somewhere warm for all of the "old timers."
It would be great to see you there.
I am more of a biker than a runner these
days, but did manage to run a 3:47 marathon in Chicago last fall.
Best,
Phil Stewart

Harold and Louise,
Just read your letter in HTC News. If any
people have a right to step back it is you
two. Your contributions to the club and to
the sport are so enormous. The fact they
span many decades while impressive,
more impressive is the dedication, innovations, sticktoitiveness, loyalty and selflessness that you two have brought to your
sport and the community.
I salute you and Louise as I am sure so
do so many of us who had the privilege of
working closely with you.
Jeff (Darman)
Past RRCA President
Director, Capital Challenge
Harold and Louise,
The HTC News arrived today and I read
the article on you two deciding that you had
had enough fun (and much work) are not
standing for any elective spot on the HTC
board. You two certainly have been the
heart and soul of the beginning and most of
the history of that club. I certainly have
admired what you have done for the sport
and for the club. I also know that there
comes a time to hang up the "spikes".
Looking forward to our next meeting in
Atlanta.
Cheers,
John (Dunkelberg)
Winston-Salem, NC
Hi, Harold,
Just got the Jan-Feb HTC News—
another fine job. I see you (and Louise) are
phasing out over the next year or two, with
a well-thought-out plan for doing so.
Should be plenty of time for the club to arrange for replacements.
Congrats and thanks for all those years
of work.
And thanks for keeping me on the mail-
ing list. I appreciate it.
Best,
Gar (Williams)
Past RRCA President
Dear Harold,
Words can't express my gratitude for all
you have done for running in the south. If
as you say your wife has done as much as
you the same goes for her. No two people
paid or unpaid have contributed as much
as you have and you certainly deserve a
rest.
Thanks for your memories.
Hawthorne Wesley
Atlanta, GA
Hi Harold,
I sent you a copy of the ATC Newsletter
announcing the new executive director.
Our previous Director, Tracy Russell, resigned after the Peachtree Road Race last
year to take over the Los Angeles Marathon. We have had an interim director, Sue
Payne, for 7 months.
Also, I don't know if you know it or not,
but Tim Singleton died, I believe in August
of last year. I meant to send you an e-mail
about it, but never did.
I received my latest HTC news this week
and was sad to see that you will not be
running for office in the up coming elections.
I really think a lot about both you and
Louise and hopefully you will still be publishing the HTC news a couple of more
years. I still have every issue that you have
ever sent to me. Nobody else could ever
do it as well as the both of you. Also the
front and back covers looks very good in
color.
Good Luck,
Regards,
Ken Winn
[The following was in response to the email
sent to members announcing the results of
the HTC officer elections.]
Mr. Tinsley,
Please let all these folks know that I appreciate their volunteering their time to
support the Huntsville Track Club, both to
those agreeing to sign up for another year
and those volunteering for new roles. They
all have my admiration.
Thanks!

PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS

Trail Running
The Huntsville Track Club's national organization is primarily the Road Runners
Club of America (RRCA). The key thing to
note there is "Road Runners". While we do
plenty of road races and yes they are by far
the majority, we also do many trail races
and could just as much be considered a
Trail Running Club nearly as much as a
Road Running Club. Although it has been
around for a while, Trail Running is a
younger sport than Road Running and as
such it seems to have piggy backed on the
infrastructure of the Road Running. I suppose running is running but anyone who
has run a trail or two knows that there are
vast differences between that and a road.
The HTC puts on 22 events each year
and 7 of those are off road. As one of
those 7 events includes the Summer Cross
Country Runs, which is conducted on
Tuesday nights for 10 to 12 weeks
throughout the summer months, I will confidently state that a solid 1/3 of our races (if
not half) are not actually Road Running.
Moreover, I would be amiss if I didn't take a
second to comment on our club's name!
We are the Huntsville Track Club, yet only
1 of those 22 events actually run on a track.
I'm not sure how we got there (I'm sure
Harold can fill in that detail) but I must admit, it sure does sound better than the
Huntsville Road Runners Club or something like that.
So anyway, back to trail running. I must
admit that my first real love of running
came through trail running. When I started
running, there was pretty much only one
game in town, Mountain Mist 50K. That is
if you really wanted to run on trails out in
the woods. There were some of the Cross
Country events but to truly spend time
amongst the trees you had to somehow be
able to run 31 miles. Yikes! Fortunately
these days there are more and more options popping up as the sport grows in
popularity. At least now we have McKay
Hollow Madness which, while very daunting, may not completely scare off the
shorter distance runner.
Every year in March, a few hundred runners join in the excitement as the McKay
Hollow Madness commences. This race is
notoriously tough. If the multitude of hill
climbs does not wear you out, the seemingly ever present mud will suck the energy
right out of you.
A fair amount of the trails on Monte Sano
mountain have been around for many years
with many of them remnants of the old Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) days
when the park was first constructed. These
trails are a valuable resource to us in
Huntsville in so many ways. Unfortunately
many of these trails were not constructed
with sustainability in mind back then but
were more of an evolution of the "easiest
way through". This has caused many of
the trails to become wash outs, mud pits
and can be strewn with meandering reroutes to avoid the erosion. Erosion is the
#1 concern with trails.
In order to keep our local resource in
good shape so that we can continue to use
it for years to come, they need to be maintained and used in a responsible manner.
Typically this means avoiding them when
they are not in their best shape. Yes, the
best solution is to stay off the trail when it's
been raining recently and the ground is
soft. Unfortunately come race day, with
participants coming into town from all over
the country, we can't just drop everything
and reschedule until it is nice and dry out.
So what can we do?
• Stay on the trail: Trails are narrow
paths for us to run/walk/hike through nature. If you get off the trail, you’re walking on nature.
• Run through it: Get your feet wet! That
big mud puddle in front of you will only
get bigger if you try to run around it.
(And you will use less energy, and race
faster running straight through the puddles, I promise!). Don't worry about
muddy shoes, you can hose them off
when you get home to get the grit out
and let them air dry or stuff with newspaper. If you do this they'll be as good as
HTC NEWS 214 - 28
there were before the muddy run and
ready to go next time.
• Stay single file: Avoid passing when it
will take you off trail. And if you are the
one being passed, know it, and find a
nice spot to stop and let the person behind you go on.
• Run on only open trails: Respect trail
and road closures. Ask a land manager
for clarification if you are uncertain about
the status of a trail. Do not trespass on
private land.
• Real time trail care: Not necessarily
during a race, but if you see a branch or
other debris on the trail and you (and
your buddies) can move it off the trail; do
so! If you know of a common problem
area caused by a blow down (branch or
tree that has fallen across the trail) that
you frequently pass by, consider taking a
folding saw or small pair of loppers on
your next run to help clear the obstacle.
If it's too big an obstacle to handle yourself let the appropriate agency know e.g.
the state park, or Land Trust; they all appreciate receiving trail status updates.
And I should mention SORBA (Southern
Off-Road Bicycle Association) that es-
sentially manages all the trail maintenance in the state park (as well as many
other areas).
• One last thing: Volunteer to come out
and help maintain the trails - if you're not
willing to help maintain them, what gives
you the right to use them?
Ok, that last one could be considered a
bit harsh, but seriously. Do you know that
your tax dollars do not pay for the upkeep
of your state park? The entry fees, camping/cabin fees are essentially the only
money that the park gets and that money
only really pay for the upkeep of the main
park facilities. The trails themselves are
completely supported by volunteers. And
the Land Trust is in the same boat. They
have to support their land with money from
donations and also rely on volunteers to
maintain their trails. Here in Huntsville we
are very fortunate to have these trails so
close to us available for our use at a moments notice. If you're a trail runner, consider getting out there and helping out.
We'll be looking to provide information on
"Trail Work Days" in the future. And if
you're not a trail runner, give it a try, you're
really missing out!

HUNTSVILLE TRACK CLUB MEETING MINUTES
Regena Moore, HTC Secretary
§
HTC EXECUTIVE MEETING MINUTES
February 25, 2014
The Huntsville Track Club held an executive board meeting on February 25th, 2014
at I Love Sushi. The meeting was called to
order by President Eric Fritz at 6:45 pm.
Board Members Present: Eric Fritz (President), Karen Gelmis (VP–Programs), Alex
Clark
(VP–Races
and
Equipment),
DeWayne Satterfield (VP–Communications), Regena Moore (Secretary), Kathy
Youngren (Treasurer), Harold Tinsley (Appointed Member – Past Board Member),
and Dink Taylor (Appointed Member – Cotton Row Director).
Board Members Absent: Suzanne Taylor
(Appointed Member – Rocket City Marathon Director)
- - - - - MEETING TOPICS - - - - GOALS/PLANS ETC FOR 2014
1. Promote HTC better/focus on our mission.
2. Produce a more uniform HTC website
with daily news feed and Facebook feed
that will be managed by DeWayne.
3. Schedule yearly HTC Race Director
meeting to discuss being uniform with finances, sponsorships, vendors and services.
4. Membership/Image – offer online membership via the website. It was noted that
HTC has an image problem. General
public believes they have to be “invited”
to become a member. Need to increase
our Social Media awareness and make it
easier for people to join.
5. Provide online HTC membership survey
– How can we improve the club?
6. Develop better process for Membership
Renewal/Payment collection at meetings.
7. Invite well known, Guest Speakers (runners) to attend the General Meetings.
Karen will contact their agents for
fees/availability. Runners mentioned:
Meb Keflezighi and Billy Mills.
WORKING WITH MONTE SANO STATE PARK
There was some concern expressed by the
park about runners using the trails for a
race when it is muddy. We discussed options on how we could better address this.
Options included education for the local
runners on how to run on them without
causing significant damage to the terrain
and widening of the trails as well as assisting with trail maintenance and possibly
meet with Kent to discuss other ways we
can help. It was noted that the Xterra race
this year caused issues due to all the rain.
It was also discussed on how HTC would
like to help encourage runners to purchase
a yearly park pass. Karen will set up a
meeting with Kent for further discussions.
ASCAP UPDATE
HTC has been approached by ASCAP
(American Society of Composers, Authors,
& Publishers) to pay for a license to
play/perform music at our events. Fees are
based on the projected number of attendees and will be evaluated on a yearly basis. HTC will also look into possibly obtaining a XM Radio Account to use for some of
the races without penalty.
FREE RACES
It was discussed that the races provided
free to members are probably too inexpensive for non-members and thus diminish
the perceived membership value. Eric will
meet with the RD’s of the following races to
discuss their entry fees. Perhaps we provide some additional value for the entry fee
increase like a hat/visor/pair of socks/HTC
shirt.
• UAH Spring 10K – 3/2/14 – Ronnie Nelson
• Rocket Run 10 Miler – 3/15/14 – Valerie
Connaughton
• Harry Williams Track Meet – 5/17/14 –
Marty Clarke
• AL A&M XC – 6/14/14 – James Falcon
HTC NEWS 214 - 31
FACEBOOK
Page vs. group? Overall consensus was to
close the Group page (as it requires approval to join) and keep the Public Page.
Anyone can view or “like” the public HTC
Facebook page and the page can even be
viewed by non-Facebook users. We will
begin transitioning over to the public page
including adding all HTC events to provide
an alternative Event Calendar.
CHARITIES/PARTNERSHIPS/COMMUNITY
• It was discussed on how we should decide which Non-profits and businesses
we partner with? It is felt that we need to
spend more time researching the Nonprofit groups that approaches us to be
sure they are legit and find out where
exactly the money is going. Are they local or global? Are they HTC members?
Perhaps we need to design and follow an
Application process and limit how many
we work with per year. Additionally different companies are approaching the
club trying to market / sell through the
club. e.g. – RacePins – It was decided
that the club did not want to pursue RacePins at the club level, however an individual race may utilize them if they desired.
• Discussed how we should support other
Non-HTC races that don’t conflict with
our race dates? There is a long time
concern that HSV Police will begin
charging for their services as more and
more races are scheduled.
HOW DO WE DISTINGUISH AND PROTECT
WHAT IS OURS?
• Discussed the need to copyright and protect our logos and event names. The
need to research lawyers and this process was brought up.
• Hotel & VBC contracts signed
• New CRR website:
http://cottonrowrun.com/
• 2014 Beneficiary – Fallen Officers Memorial and a TBD military based charity
ROCKET CITY MARATHON
• Embassy Suites Hotel & VBC contracts
signed.
• Space & Rocket Center will host the Friday night dinner.
• Course still in the approval process with
City.
• Jill Hadley will return as Kids Marathon
RD.
• Registration opens Memorial Day.
• Expo Vendor details TBD.
• Guest Speaker - Dave McGillivray, Boston Marathon Race Director.
RRCA ANNUAL NATIONAL CONVENTION
May 1st – May 4th in Spokane, Washington. Louise Tinsley will be receiving the
Browning Ross Spirit of the RRCA Award.
The Browning Ross Spirit of the RRCA
Award was created to honor the memory of
the RRCA’s founding member, Browning
Ross, who died unexpectedly in April 1998.
The award honors an individual who is an
unsung hero. These are the people who
champion the RRCA tirelessly and enthusiastically, but prefer to stay in the background, letting others bask in the spotlight,
just as Browning did. This award recognizes lifetime volunteer service over a period of many years to the running community. Congratulations, Louise!
Next General Membership meeting – TBD
– Karen will propose dates for the 2014
meetings.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 pm.

MEET YOUR NEW 2014/2015 HTC BOARD MEMBERS
Three new officers were elected to the HTC Executive Committee at the January club business/election dinner meeting. The newsletter editor provided those three officers a list of
questions to answer that should provide some background information about who they are
and their involvement in running and the HTC. We welcome Alex Clark, DeWayne

go run!
One piece of advice I'd give to other runners is... Pay attention to nutrition and
cross training. Both will ruin your race.
If I could go on a social/training run with

like everything else. You get out of it
what you put into it.

lifestyle and part of that is maintaining
the infrastructure to allow us to continue
this healthy lifestyle. If everyone does a
small part, then no one person would be
overwhelmed and the HTC will continue
to provide the great events to which we
have become so accustomed. Oh yeah,
and be nice to everyone…especially volunteers.

WALL OF HONOR FOR KEN WINN
By Harold Tinsley
§
Ken
Winn,
who I have written about many,
many times over
the years I have
edited the HTC
NEWS, was recently inducted
into the Decatur
High
School
(GA) Wall of
Honor. Ken was
a standout high school runner and also for
the University of Georgia, a founding member of the Atlanta Striders in 1959, and Atlanta Track Club in 1964. He was one of
the 110 who ran the first Peachtree Road
Race in 1970.
Ken was one of the few who continued to
run after college even though there were no
road races in this area of the South back at
that time. He competed anywhere there
was a cross country or track meet that
would let a
post-collegiate
runner
compete, and there
weren’t many of
those available
without doing a
lot of traveling.
He gained a
reputation as a
fierce competitor competing
against college runners, and when road
racing finally came to the south. We had
many battles in road races back in the
1970s and 1980s. He was the master’s
winner in the first Rocket City Marathon in
1977 finishing 13th overall in 2:29:44. In
his four marathons here his averaged time
was 2:31:18. His best time was 2:28:59 of
the 29 marathons he ran.
Even though he didn’t live in Huntsville
and competed for the Atlanta Track Club he
HTC NEWS 214 - 36
joined the HTC in 1975. Ken recently told
me that he still has every issue of the HTC
NEWS dating back to issue #9 published in
May, 1975.
The picture here was taken following the
Wall of Honor ceremony. In the picture
with Ken (on the left) are two of his closest
running buddies from back in the day, Lee
Fidler on the right and Hawthorne Wesley
in the middle.
Many of you will recognize Lee from his
picture in Running Journal as a regular
contributor for many years. He is a highly
respected running coach and personal
trainer in the Atlanta area. In the 1970s he
ran races here in Huntsville when we all
had to travel on the weekends to find races
to run. Over the years he ran 42 marathons with his best of 2:15:03 coming in the
1980 Mardi Gras Marathon. Considering
marathon times today it is hard to believe
that Lee’s time in that race was only good
for 10th place. There were 24 sub-2:20
and 69 sub-2:30 finishers, and none were
foreigners, unlike major marathons in this
country today which are dominated by
Kenyan and Ethiopian professional runners. I doubt it’s possible to find a current
U.S. marathon, other than the Olympic Trials, that has 24 Americans under 2:20 and
69 under 2:30.
When I began publishing the HTC NEWS
in 1974 Hawthorne Wesley had already
been publishing the Atlanta Track Club
newsletter Wingfoot for several years,
which he continued to edit until 1978.
This year will be the 50th Anniversary of
the ATC and Hawthorne was a founding
member, past president, served on the
ATC Executive Board for 21 years, and one
of their most dedicated volunteers. For all
of those 50 years he has been the Awards
Chairman and Master of Ceremonies for
their spring track and field and their fall
cross country banquets that honor the AllMetro High School athletes and coaches.
Seven of those athletes have gone on to be
Olympians with one a gold medalist and
two silver medalists. A number of others
have reached the finals of the U.S. Olympic
Trails.
The highlight of this year’s Atlanta Track
Club Awards Banquet was the announcement that in a tribute to the ATC’s 50th Anniversary the club will be granting a $2,500
college scholarship to a male metro Atlanta
high school senior. The scholarship will be
named in honor of Hawthorne Wesley’s
dedication to high school athletics.
At the 2012 USATF Georgia Association
Banquet Hawthorne received the Lifetime
Achievement Award. He currently serves
as Vice-Chair of USATF Georgia Association Hall of Fame Selection Committee.
Interestingly Hawthorne was competing
for Auburn when I was running at Clemson
and he remembers us competing in a two
mile indoor race on a dirt track in Montgomery. A teammate of mine at Clemson,
John Dunkelberg a 440/880 yard specialist,
also competed in that indoor meet. John
was another pioneer who continued to
compete after graduation and became a
national class runner competing on three
USA teams overseas. According to the history of the ATC written by Julia Emmons in
1989, John was also one of the track athletes that formed the Atlanta Striders in
1959. I should note that the Atlanta Track
Club was formed by track and field athletes
and coaches, because there were no road
races in 1964.
The three in the picture here represent
many training miles and more races that
probably few can match and they contributed significantly to the birth of road racing
and track clubs in the south. We are sad to
report that a fourth pioneer of that group,
Tim Singleton, died last fall. In 1966 Singleton put on the first ATC road race and in
1970 founded the Peachtree Road Race
that is now the largest and most prestigious
10K road race in the world.
When Tom Bolt founded the Huntsville
Track Club in 1971 our constitution and bylaws were modeled after those of the ATC.
Road racing and track clubs in this area of
the south basically grew out of what that
core group in Atlanta pioneered. Back in
the 1970s there weren’t many road races
and those were just in the major cities, so
we had to travel most weekends to find a
road race to run and in the summer we
competed in track meets. At a road race in
Huntsville there would be runners from Atlanta, Chattanooga, Birmingham, Nashville
and Florence, AL, and frequently runners
even from Knoxville. On a following weekend most of those same runners would be
at a race in one of those cities.

SPINE CANDY
By Dr. Daniel C. Batchelor
§
When one of my patients calls to make
an appointment, she asks if she can come
in to get some "spine candy". She states
that being adjusted feels so good, it’s like
eating candy. She no longer has pain; she
comes in now to complete the correction of
her spinal alignment.
When she first came into the clinic a
month ago, she had pain in her lower back
and down her right leg. Within a few
weeks, we were able to correct her pain
and teach her specific exercises that would
enhance the correction.
Now, when this patient comes in for
treatment, the procedures that we use are
to complete the correction so that she is not
predisposed to the same pain in the future.
Most of my patients enjoy being treated.
If it only the patient who enters the clinic in
severe pain who might experience a slight
discomfort when they are treated. Most of
the therapies that we use feel very good.
Decompression is a rehab machine that
opens the space where nerve pressure exists. It is quite comfortable and most patients state that they would like to remain
on the machine for the entire day because
it feels so good.
Electrical acupuncture is another therapy
that we use. It interrupts the cycle of pain.
Most patients experience a reduction in
pain from it because it blocks the sensory
impulses that carry pain messages from the
area of pain to the brain.
Galvanic current is another therapy used
in our office. It reduces inflammation and
pain by separating the positive and negative charges inside the nerve fiber. Then
they rejoin and interrupt pain. This usually
feels very comfortable.
Laser is used when a patient has an inflammatory condition. Cellular effects occur when a therapeutic laser light interacts
with cells, higher ATP levels are produced
which then boosts DNA production; this improves cell membrane permeability and initiates the release of nitric oxide. These
three events then lead to a cascade of
beneficial effects increasing cellular energy
and health. During each painless treatment,
laser energy increases circulation, drawing
water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged area. This creates an optimal healing
environment that reduces inflammation,
swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness, and
pain. As the injured area returns to normal,
function is restored and pain is relieved
Manipulation or adjustments are done by
hand or instrument. This specific method
of spinal correction is used to realign misaligned vertebrae.
Since I began practice several decades
ago, I've treated over 11,000 patients. The
treatments and therapies listed above have
been responsible for restoring tremendous
amounts of health and happiness and perhaps saving many marriages and relationships.

clubs that operate in North Alabama is

ALABAMA STATE RECORDS
Compiled and Maintained by Buck Jones
§
CRITERIA: Criteria for a state record include the following: (1) Alabama resident (2) U.S. citizen (3) Race
run in Alabama (4) Certified courses.
BIRTHDATES: Anyone noting their name in the state record listings, please call or write if I show no birth
date for you.
CHANGES: Potential changes to this list or any future list are welcome, just call or write me at the phoneaddress listed below.
HELP: Race Directors, Club Board Members, and Runners, help me a little and I will be able to provide you
with accurate state records.
► WEBSITE & EMAIL ADDRESS FOR ALABAMA STATE RECORDS ◄
Website: http://www.staterunningrecords.com-index.html
Alabama Running Data Center - Phone: 256-539-1922
C-O Buck Jones, 2920 Eastern Shore Drive, Owens Cross Roads, AL 35763
e-mail: [email protected]
P - Pending Record, birthdate/hometown required within 6 months of race date or will be dropped.
a - Point to Point Course, better than State Record but not eligible for State Record.
* - Non U.S. Citizen, better than the State Record but not eligible for a State Record.
# - Best Time for Distance-Sex on Point to Point Course.
T - Tie performances for same age.
RACE DIRECTORS: Race directors please note the following information if you have a certified race. On
your race results I need individual ages, not just by age groups. Also I need the home town listed, in order to
confirm the runner is an Alabama resident. Without the above I can't use the results, unless the runner is well
known to me. I do need birthdates for record holders and would suggest that all race directors add a place on
the entry forms. I would not expect birthdates to be added to the race results but they would be available should
I or USATF Road Running Information Center need them. USATF RRIC is the national data center for long distance road-track racing, having taken over from the NRDC. I will process all Alabama race results as the state
record keeper through to USATF RRIC.
NOTE: Birth dates are still required for an age record, however those dates are no longer being published.

CLUB MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION WAIVER
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, but not limited to, falls, contact with other participants, the effects of the weather, including high heat and/or humidity, the conditions of the road and traffic
on the course, all such risks being known and appreciated by me. Having read this waiver and knowing
these facts, and in consideration of your acceptance of my application for membership, I, for myself and
anyone entitled to act on my behalf, waive and release the Road Runners Club of America, Huntsville Track
Club and all sponsors, their representatives and successors for all claims or liabilities of any kind arising out
of my participation in these club activities even though that liability may arise out of negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons named in this waiver.

FULL PAGE - $40 - 11.5 inches high by 7.3 inches wide (Print Area)

The above sizes are available print area on the original page layout size of 13 inches

best). Advertisers will be mailed a copy of the HTC NEWS when published. We

newsletters will be mailed by the end of the month.
The Huntsville Track Club reserves the right to reject ads that are judged not to be in
the best interest of members, or in keeping with the image of the HTC, or that would
conflict with our race sponsors, or not meet the requirements of our non-profit mailing permit. The permit limits the content of advertising to races, running products,
and running services. If you have a question please check with us to be sure your
ad meets these requirements.
