Steve's shrubbery provided an unaccustomed schizophrenic leadership of the run mimed the venerable style of our own Howard Kessler, requiring fancy footwork from the participating runners {who were done up in a tasteless array of colors befitting the season). From the romp through The Ramble we continued on to Columbus Circle, and southward to the sparkling new Convention Center, home of one of the oldest profes$ions on earth. Given Guy's choice of clothing for his lower extremities, he could have competed with the girls on their own turf. At the Spike we swaggered in {Leonora Lucan does it best). Arriving late and squeezing in at the women's table (after all, I was still the First Lady), proved what I already knew: that the women can talk mean and dirty with the best of them.

Two L.A. FRs, a Chicago FR, and our very own Lee Graham, now with the Philadelphia group, were also on hand {or foot). After exchanging season's greetings and finding out whose stockings had gotten stuffed by whom, the group made i ts way to Cent r al Park to "run from one year to the next."

As we sat around folding, licking, stuffing, and stamping, the warmth of friendship and camaraderie filled the apartment. It was a nice moment, and I felt proud to be a Front Runner. The Club is oft to a good start for 1986. David Logan THE LAVENDER TRAIL. Although the crowds and the marchers, the bands, the floats, and even the purple stripe itself are six months gone, over 20 FRs met Sun. morning, Jan. 12th, to retrace the route of the Gay Pride Parade. The sky was a faultless blue, the weather a little nippier than mild, and our spirits tempered by the knowledge that this would be the last short run hosted by Fleet Foot Adventures, aka Howard Kessler. After a send-off fran our new president and vice-president, we undertook to follow the Lavender Line. Picking up Manny and Jim at the Plaza we proceeded past St. Patrick's, where this reporter got a cinder in his eye (the place is cursed). At the New York Public Library, George Schlein turned and went back uptown (don't go below 42nd St., George?). Thereafter we coasted the long downhill from 40th, bringing back memories of rank upon rank of proud parading gays and lesbians, filling 5th Ave. all the way to the Arch. Brunch was had at The Spike. And now for MF. Blackwell's Winter Running Wear Best and Worst List. Many Front Runners chose to brave the day bare-legged. Best Bare Legs Prize goes to all hardy enough to try it. Best Tights were surely those "fuzzy peach" sweats worn by Nelson Gonzales, with a Special Mention going to those Silver-Cloud Grey and Electric Blue items coating Mickey Zacuto and Jim Skofield, respectively. The Worst Dressed Prize I claim. Does anyone know how to rid tights of a random pattern of small white balls of lint? Phil Blackwell COACH COMMITTEE REPORT. Seven requests for applications to be the FR coach were received. Four have been returned. The committee will be meeting in the coming weeks to compose interview quetions, review applications, and determine which applicants to interview. Interviews will be conducted on Sun., Feb. 23rd, at 752 West End Ave., #4G, and will begin at noon. In order to participate, FRs must first review the completed applications, and be willing to commit to a full day of interviews and discussions. The cannittee is hoping to make a reco~n­ dation to the Board of Directors and the membership in March. If all goes well, FRs should have a coach by April. It's not too late to get in on the selection process. Call Rick Buckheit for information (212) 749-2437. Rick Buckheit RACE OF THE MONTH. Please remember that we as FRs are going to volunteer at one NYRRC race a month. It's not only good sportsmanship, but it helps insure that they will continue to loan us the finish line equipment for GPR. If we had to pay the going rate, it would add a LARGE sum of money to our race budget. Let's keep our budget down and our club's profile up. Come out and join us for the February race: Bagel Run, Sun., Feb. 23, Columbus Circle, 8:30 am. - Guy Z BOARD MEETINGS. Attendance at the monthly Board of Directors meeting is open to all members. Board meetings are held on the Wednesday evening before the business meeting at Richard Walker's, 2025 Broadway (at 70th St.), #26E, and start promptly at 8:15PM. If you plan to attend and wish to be included in the board's traditional order-out dinner (read "pizza or Chinese"), please let Richard know before the date of each meeting. RUNNING MONOLOGUE. A new year, a new club administration. Steve gave up the crown, but have you noticed that he's now always close enough to the front of the pack to make a speech at a moment's notice? Oh, the intrigue. Steve may have stepped down, but is Bob Buckley up to something? Just consider this: The new Prez has no First Person. Bob is already decorating Richard's place. Just watch out for an appropriation for new dishes. And if Richard's speeches get real long, you'll know who the true administrative head is. It's always the quiet ones.

Jim sent a letter to the American National Beverage Corp. before he left for his Vienna Marathon and we are waiting to hear from them. News from MAC/TAC meeting of April 9, Gay Pride is Sanctioned and Certificates of Insurance have to be sent to the Parks Dept. We had paid $1,000 for insurance but we will be receiving that check back and should only have to pay about $300 for insurance. Good news, right! We are in need of volunteers for Gay Pride Run to help with all areas of the race course. So all of you and/or your friends, who are not running, who want to be a part of the fun and pride of this Class A race please call Guy Zelenak (718) 278-8280, Russ Redmond ·(212) 255-0372 or Julie Keirn (212) 666-0004. We would also appreciate any tax deductible financial donations you can make to the race. Julie Kelm TAKE THE FIRST STEP.

Been thinking about trading in that tired modular couch for a trendy sofa bed or turning your unused closet space into a Murphy bed? That's good because it's time to get serious about housing an out-of-town runner for Gay Pride Run 1986. We're expecting record nu~1bers of Front Runners from across the country, so whatever you want, a Texas longhorn, a leggy lassie from Lansing, we've got 'em. Give me a call and make me an offer. If I don't hear from you, you'll hear from me. And while you're in D.C., you might want to make your selection and pass on the name. Cupids bow is all aquiver, but he needs a little assistance--otherwise it's potluck. My telephone number is (212) 535-7550. I have finally bowed to modern technology and acquired an answering machine with a cute message, so that you're-never-atroutine won't get you off the hook. Tom Cook BUSINESS MEETING. April monsoons greeted those FRs who braved the torrential rains and gusty winds to attend the most recent business meeting, hosted by his honor Richard Walker. After we left our soggy sneakers, battered umbrellas and other foul weather gear in Richard's hallway, we munched on chocolate chip cookies and fresh coffee. Richard promptly called the meeting to order shortly after 9 pm. In addition to the various announcements made, Richard informed the group about the current status of our appeal to the NYS Sales Tax Commission. A letter has been forwarded to the cannission by our legal representative and we have asked to have a response within 3 to 4 weeks. Also of importance was the introduction of our new coach, Cliff Pauling, to the club. Cliff told us about his plans for the upcoming running classes. He warned us about the blood, sweat and tears that we would see after our first sessio.n. Guy Zelenak made a plea for volunteers to work not only the Trevira Twosome, but also the L'eggs Tune-Up and Mini Marathon. Joe Criscione reported on the long and short runs for the next two months and Howard Kessler briefed us about the status of the upcoming Washington trip. Bob Richert gave an update on the Gay Games. As he described the men's & women's heats much laughter abounded, especially from yours truly. I just lost track of myself! Other news: Firth Whitehouse has volunteered to serve as director of our Benefit Run in the fall. Running gear and t-shi~t sales king Gerben hinted at some possibly new items that might be added to the club's line of running wear. Someone suggested umbrellas! There being no other business to attend to except for deciding which boat to row home, the meeting was adjourned at 10:15 pm. The next business meeting will be hosted by Julie Kelm, 733 .Amsterdam Ave. (at 96 St.) on Wed., May 14 at 9:00pm. Debbie White TRACK MEET.

Atfer the first steps from City Hall in New York there were less than 10,000 miles to go. The start was achievement enough. Each day as the run becomes more a routine job, advertising the issue of AIDS, answering the same questions, facing the same physical and psychological grind, the achievement grows. Howard Kessler April 10, Pittsburgh, NH: Ran from Pittsburgh to Champlain, NY yesterday. The total; 602 miles, 8 states, 2 countries, and a 24 hour flu bug. I used this week's rest day to go back to Vermont and make up the miles I missed through Montpelier. There was a party for AREA at the Metro in Boston. Jeff Mello, lthe gay marathoner who we met last Fall running again for Boston's AIDS Action Committee in the marathon, was there. It was great to have Dave Weir with us as interim road manager in New Hampshire. We've been having some beautiful weather and scenery, though this week it was cold and wet. So, New England is behind us. We crossed the border into Canada today and will be running into Montreal on Saturday Sure do miss all of you. I thought about you running up Riverside Drive last night and heading back to the American. Thanks so much for the wonderful messages you sent. Your good wishes and your support help me get through the tough times. Brent RUNNING MONOLOGUE. Joe Criscione entitled the February long run 'Oh, What A Guy.' When he announced the title, a number of members chuckled. It was at Guy Zelenak's apartment that the chuckling stopped. Guy served a wonderful spread, and showed the pictures that he has been compiling from the very beginnings of the club. Once, the club's newsletter come out every now and then. It was Guy who made it monthly. And recently, besides sponsoring the run, doing his part on the newsletter and club secretarial work, he co-sponsored the skating party at Rockefeller Center, continues coordinating volunteers every month for Road Runners, keeping relations good between the two clubs. He is also developing volunteer positions for Gay Pride Run, ~s he has done for the past five years. I don't think that there is a position in the club that he has not had, or helped out with. If there was ever an award for the most dedicated member of the club, there is no question who it should go to. Yes, he is quite a Guy. Howard Kessler SO MUCH EXERCISE, SO LITTLE SALT? Now, something new for ultramarothoners and other "ultra" sportspeople to worry about: too little salt. While much of the medical community has started treating the stuff like it's poison, a researcher at Vanderbilt University's School of Medicine warns that people who spend the better part of a day in strenuous exercise might be candidates for what he calls hyponatremia. Ironically, one of the apparent causes is too much fluid replacement,diluting the bodies sodium content, and the result is an agitated state, disorientation, possibly even seizures. The condition is rare, but you can't be t.oo careful: "Uh, make that a McBLT and a large order of fries, please: I'm feeling a little faint." John Delves GOOD NEWS WEST OF THE HUDSON! We're pleased to extend our warmest welcome to Phoenix and Seattle as new members in the family of Front Runners clubs. If you're visiting the desert or the Northwest, be sure to join these groups for a fun run. You can see Richard, Guy or Lee Abbey for the address and telephone number of our contacts in any of the "Front Runner Cities." Pg. 3 �SPRUCE UP FOR SPRING.

Some of us runners do love Brooklyn. On this cool, sunny Sunday, Prospect Park was honored by almost twenty Front Runners doing hilly miles, flanked by budding trees and blooming daffodils. A few of us won pasta or trophies and others did our personal bests. Kathy Mcintyre sparked cheers from our club when she harvested her trophy for 1st place woman after running the lOK in 36:03. After the awards, the women ate at the Leonora-Donna mansion. We feasted on peste-spinach-lasagne, bran muffins, devilled eggs, salad, bagels and amaretto-laced coffee. (Donna said, "It's just amaretto flavored.") The writer, co-founder with Vicki Metaxas of LAP (Lesbians Against Pussies}, ate in the hallway and admired the cats from a safe distance. /~any thanks to our hostesses. Kathy Rooke THANKS. The following all deserve a round of applause from the membership and especially from me for giving up so much of their time to help make GPR'86 as successful as in the past. To Russell Redmond for a two-fold job Assistant Volunteer Director and part of a Select Timer Team with Andrew Khoo the second half of this team; Dan Del Monte and Will Dixon-Gray the second Select Timer Team; Joe Criscione and Kevin McKinney as Heuer (Seiko) Operators; Firth Whitehouse and Sue Ann Butwell as Chute Captains; Nelson Gonzalez on Lead Rope; Russ O'Hara as Recording Supervisor; and last, but not least, two dedicated people who are out of the limelight but doing one of the most important jobs-- Andy Curry and Cathy Schwartz as Scoring Captains. There are others who have placed their names on the list of the 120 needed to operate this CLASS A race; they are: Sue Foster, James Minter, Bill Ross, Ron Hamblin, Bruce Ballard, Greta Man, Inger-Jo Berger, Jean Robinson,· Bob Richert, Phil Blackwell, and Herb Herzog. Thanks to all of you. Guy Zelenak MEET-THE-MEMBERSHIP RUN AND PICNIC Here's a reminder for you to remember. On May 17 you can meet all the FR members We're having a run and a picnic in Central Park So on your calendar give this day a mark Friends to see and have a laugh, maybe two Come out to meet and greet all those who are new Let's enjoy the warmth we all share And make this a day to show each other we care The time to be there is 10 am Everyone come out, women and men Don't forget to bring your lunch And, of course, goodies on which to munch Debbie White, Meet-the Membership Co-ordinator COACH REPORT. By now I hope everyone has taken the time to speak to FR coach Cliff Pauling, either at the April business meeting, a Saturday run or over the telephone. Interest has been building as FRs sign up for the first session of running classes to be instructed by Cliff. At the time of this writing over 40 members have sent in applications. Class participants have indicated many different goals which they wish to obtain by taking the classes. The goals range from beginning running to training for the Gay Games, with the popular goal being that of training for the Gay Pride Run. Cliff has been busy putting together workouts to keep us busy once the classes begin on May 5th. Cliff has Pg. 4 �been busy on the track as well. He set set National Masters Championship meet records at distances of 600 and 1000 yards recently and as a result appeared in an article in the March 31st issue of "Sports Illustrated". In addition, Cliff placed second in his age category in the Perrier lOK race. Good going Cliff! Lets hope some of that skill is picked up by FRs. For those of you who have signed up for Cliff's classes, just a reminder that confirmation of you application will not be sent to you. Classes begin on May 5 and 6 (depending on your level) at 6:30pm. We will be meeting at the West Side YMCA (5 West 63 St.). [where in the building?] Cliff will be able to answer questions at the May 17 Meet-the-Membership Run. Be sure to check your schedule of runs for future Sat., runs Cliff will be attending. Cliff is also available to all members via telephone on Mon., Wed. & Fri. between 9-11 pm at (212) 588-8517. R. Buckheit NUTRITION Af\0 PERFORMAN:E. Optimizing physical and mental performance through nutrition can be easily accomplished and is scientifically demonstrated on a daily basis in many performances by top athletes. Proper nutrition is the provision of the nutrients -Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats, Vitamins, Minerals and Water in quantities that produce optimal health as well as optimum physical and mental performance. Foods from which we obtain these nutrients are chemically complex and must be broken down into simple chemical forms that the body can absorb through the intestines into the bloodstream where they are distributed to cells for energy production and tissue rebuilding. There is no single source or food from which all the nutrients can be obtained to provide optimal health. Therefore, a variety of foods must be consumed to provide the required nutrients. There are, however, some nutrients that are more important than others for particular parts of the body. But even these nutrients require the presence of all the other nutrients in proper quantities to achieve peak health and performance. Therefore, every effort should be made to obtain and maintain an adequate intake of these nutrients to have the best opportunity for achieving . optimum performance. Every food we eat is made up of· the cornerstones of nutrition -Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats, Vitamins, Minerals and Water. These organic components are not only our major source of energy but provide the basis for control of energy production as well as other essential body functions. Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats, and Water are considered macronutrients because they are required in large quantities. While, Vitamins and Minerals are referred to as micronutrie~ts because their requirement is for very small quantities in the milli- and microgram range. The utilization of all macro- as well as micronutrients relies on the presence of water. Therefore, you must ensure that sufficent quanties of water are ingested for optimum performance. Considering this requirement, you could say that water is the essential nutrient. The mocronutrients are the primary source of energy that provides the fuel necessary for work and heat. Their fuel value is expressed in calories, which indicates the amount of energy available when that food is broken down into glucose, the basic-energy providing substance used by the body. Foods that ore rich in caloric value are high in energy. Fats contain approximately nine calories per gram, while carbohydrates and protein contain approximately four calories per gram. As you con see, fats are a more concentrated source of energy. In building up energy stores, you must consider the manner in which the body processes the various forms of mocronutrients and particularly how your body processess these organic stores, and components of food. Individual requirements and responses vary over a wide range. Micronutrients are required in very small quantities and have no caloric value. However, what they lack in caloric value, they make up in importance. They are essential in catalyzing many processes such as energy production, nerve stimulation and muscle control, just to name a few. Minerals help maintain the delicate water balance in and around the cells together with the acid-balance of the blood. The Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council (NRC) has established and periodically publishes standards of desirable nutrient levels that are designed to meet the needs of average individuals conducting themselves in an average manner in an average lifestyle. What is average? The levels are the cannonly seen Recomnended Daily Pg. 5 �Allowance (RDA). Generally these levels must be modified for people with cha1 acteristics that deviate from the so-called "average", especially athletes. These deviations usually have a significant impact on the utilization of nutriin general and some specific nutrients in particular. You can achieve ents Recent optimum performance only if these special nutritional needs are met. scientific studies have indicated that most RDA levels are too low. However, these levels can be used as a base or starting point for determining your You must make this determinnation and adhere to it to achieve requirements. If your find this task tedious and too time consuming, a optimum performance. Nutritionist that normally serves athletes can perform this task for you. Your facets of your efforts in this area will provide amazingly rich rewards in all life. Cliff Pauling- Coach LONG RLN - BROOKLYN HALF.

Once formal gloves ensconced at Joe's, our obsessing began: Should I wear my long, or the short casual ones? A lycra long-sleeve or a simple but smartT-shirt or just a sexy singlet -- and what about tights? And how many times can I go to the bathroom within ten min- utes while six other fidgety FRs are also lined up stoically outside the john (or· is it jill)? Finally, however, we were persuaded to heed Joe ' s u r gent c a 1 1 s ( " I t ' s t i me to 1eave ! !

We turned right this time, along Neptune Avenue, past "Metropolis"-like high rises and into the old Coney Island of ramshackle wooden houses, the parachute jump, the Cyclone, bumping cars (this writer's favorite ride in all the world) and, of course, Nathan's. Brooklynites gazed at us in bewilderment: were we going to dash right into the Is't possible?-the course is flatter ocean? But no! Back up Ocean Parkway! The last gift was no final loop around Prospect Park, than ever! and faster Thereupon, we took just the direct and pounding route to the finish line. another direct and pounding route to Joe's, where we restored our depleted bodies and souls with quiche, pasta, muffins, and fruit salad. Even the toilet, though severely pressed by the urgent and unremitting demands of many importunate FRs and briefly forced to take its own rest stop, was restored by a hero (nameless in this article) to its usual flush self.

June 8, 10:00 am, 12 and 7.5 miles. May•s racing schedule does not allow for slating a long run, so our next long run will be in June, the month we allow our gay pride to bubble over. And what better place to begin this run, than in the borough of Queens. The run will begin at the Joe Criscione 1 s apartment, in Astoria. We will romp through Long Island City to the Queensboro {59th Street) Bridge. Across the bridge we will travel, until the borough of Manhattan is ours. We will then head south down Third Avenue, then west along 14th Street, then south again down Eighth Avenue and Hudson Street until the majestic towers of the World Trade Center are upon us. Once around the towers we will go, then head north along West Street, until we reach those majesties of the Village, Manny Gonzalez and Jim Schmidt. There we will be treated to a brunch fit for kings and queens. The Schmidt/Gonzalez residence is 382 West Street, #2A. If you plan on attending the run and brunch, contact Jim and Manny, {212) 989-8252 or Joe, {718) 721-3699. The full run will be 12 miles. If this distance is a bit too royal for you, a shorter 7.5 mile run will begin at about 10:45 am at the foot of the Manhattan side of the Queensboro Bridge. At that time this shorter run will pick up the FRs doing the full long run. If you wish to do the shorter run and attend the brunch afterwards, contact Jim, Manny' or Joe (see phones above). NOTE: My (Joe Criscione•s) residence is 30-18 49th Street #3N in Astoria, Queens. To get to my apartment for the start of the long run take theE or F train {IND line) to Queens Plaza and change for the Queens-bound G train. Ride the G train to the 46th Street stop.

On Sunday, June 15, five Front Runners t raveled by way of Louise (T.J.'s lime green auto supreme) to King ' s Point Merchant Marine Academy to participate in the M.A.C. Masters Championship track meet . This was a first for most of us, and the word "nervous" took on a whole new meaning. The five of us were able to cover the following events: lOOM & 200M Dash, 400M Run, Long Jump, and the 4 x 400M Relay. The meet proved to be more t han just a learning experience--it afforded us the chance to compete as a team against other teams and to share our e~tions, our efforts, and our rewards . (Be sure to check out the race results on the back page. This neophyte team really brought home the medals! -Editor). Rick Reece IRON MEN. Sunday, June 15: At the sixth annual Iron Team Relay on Nantucket Island, Carl Zanolli and I set out to show what kind of mettle Front Runners are made of. Outfitted to intimidate (Carl's yellow helmet, RayBans , and cycle computer made him the day ' s "most interviewed competitor" for local TV and newspaper), and armed with Coach Pauling's killer training sessions, we captured sixth place (out of 45) for our team. This feat was not accomplished without many dramatic moments: one teammate fell to heat prostration; Ca r l battled strong headwinds for 20 miles to place 5th in the cycling leg; I f i nished the final event for our ternn, a 6.7 mile run, only one second ahead of the next two teams, and had the once-in-a-lifetime thrill of breaking a tape at t he finish. Our thanks to Coach Pauling: By next year we should be able to cap t ure first place! Pieter M. Judson A FIRST MARATHON CAN BE HARD ON A GUY. As a new FR, I had a humbling experience in the New Jersey Waterfront Marathon. I took off at a pace faster than I should have, determined to get aPR of under 3:30. Fixated on my goa l , I forgot one of the most important rules of marathon running -- keeping up your water supply. At mile 21, TJ Storch met Bob Richert and me to run us in. A hundred yards from the finish line, I began to wobble, fell, and became hypothermic. What followed was a quick trip to the Jersey City Medical Center and treatment by a caring and professional staff. Nothing can equal the care and concern shown by TJ. He stayed by my side for three hours. As long as he was there, knew that I had met someone very special. If this was what it mean t to be a FR, I was proud to be able to associate myself with such a distinguished group. I learned a hard lesson, and though I know I won't give up marathons, more important is my new commitment to FRs. Unending appreciation and grati t ude to all the FRs who, like TJ, have been there for others when it really mattered. Dan Di Stasio FRCM QUEEt-...15 TO KIN:;$, Fourteen guys and Lenore Becky showed up at Joe Criscione's apartment in Astoria, on Sunday morning, June 8th for a 12-mile run which had been advertised by Joe as a "romp'' through Queens and Manhattan. Due to the humidity that day, the run turned into a test of stamina. Fir s t, we ran to the Manhattan side of the 59th St. Bridge ("Quick, do we have an application for that guy in the blue shorts?") where another dozen FRs joined us for the remaining 7.5 miles. Claiming the right-hand lane for ourselves, we ran down Third Ave. to 14th St. Then we went ar::rrn town to Eight!, Ave. (overheard from a passerby on 14th St.: "Hurry up, Mister! An old man went by who's way ahead of yo u • " ) , a n d s o u t h o n Hu d s on a n d C h u r c h S t s • r o r n e Wo r 1d T r ad e Ce n t e r • T u r n i n g north on West Street, we ended the run (Rick Reece reported: "I felt l ike I was finishing the marathon on West Street.") at the apartment of Jim Schmidt and Manny Gonzalez, where an excellent and abundant brunch was served. Throughout the morning, there was the usual blend of excellent organization: printed course directions, two distance options; two water stops; a driver to haul baggage and water (special thanks Joe Criscione, Tom Records and Harold Levine); and humor: T.J. Storch's comment to the onlooking neighbors during the photo session of the assembled runners in front of Joe Criscione's house: "It's hard to believe, but this is the groom's side of the family." And of course, FR determination and camaraderie. Bob Newman Pg. 2 �COACH REPORT.

For an application or information, call (212 ) 749-2437. Rick Buckheit Q;()()SING YOLR SHOES-Part II. Although running may look simple, it is a series of complicated movements that are determined, in large part, by characteristics of the feet. The characteristic causing the greatest concern is pronation (discussed last month). There are many different types of shoes, as well as feet, so understanding both will permit a proper choice of shoe. Feet are divided into three basic categories: normal, low arch, and high arch. These characteristics generally define the level of pronation: overpronation for low arch (flat feet), and underpronation for high arches. (These pronation levels can exist in the absence of these characteristics.) Shoes too fall into three basic categories: (1) motion control, (2) all around, and (3) racer/trainer. Since all feet pronate, it is one of the primary considerations in shoe selection, particularly shock absorption, lasting, and midsole rnaterial. If you are one of those lucky runners with 11 normal 11 feet, you can choose any high quality shoe. If not, read on. Underpronation. If you underpronate, the following characteristics, in the order of importance, should be considered: (1) Lasting: Slip lasting allows maximum motion and softness. (2) Midsole: Air midsoles provide softness and shock absorption, which are essential for underpronators. (3) Curvature: Curved shoes conform to the foot shape better and provide greater comfort and foot mobility. (4) Heel Counter: External heel counters provide support needed on the outer side of the heel. Overpronation. If you overpronate, consider these characteristics, in order: (1) Lasting: Board, or combination of board and slip lasting with the board in the rear for greater stability, is essential for the overpronator. The board will help even with a soft midsole. (2) Midsole: A firm midsole that provides the required support is more important than softness or shock absorption. (3) Curvature: A straight shoe provides the greater stability required in this case. (4) Heel counter: Helpful in minimizing rearfoot motion, but can be omitted if all other characteristics are present. Other Characteristics. These are relatively unimportant aspects of the shoe but may need to be considered to tip the scales in your decision: (1) Outersole: Waffle or nubbed soles are used for grass or dirt trails. Ripple or herri~gbone are used for asphalt or cement, the latter being longer wearing. The longest wearing material is carbonized Indy 500 rubber. (2) Uppers: Nylon is best bee au s e o f t he r educed a b r as i v e a c t i on and i t s a b i 1 i t y t o b rea t h . ( 3 ) p rJ.s~: As you may notice this is the last consideration. Be sure you keep that in mind. Prices range from $40 up to well over $100. The best pric~s u ce obtained through the mail-order shoe houses. If you need instant gratification, the local stores are usually around 20% higher. Good luck! Cliff Pauling WHY IS CHARLIE CARSON CRYING? It 1 s not because Carl Zanolli wouldn 1 t hold his hand when they crossed the finish line at GPR. What it is is that no one has given him any information on when they are arriving in San Francisco and where they will be staying. Charlie wants to compile a directory so that we can get in touch while out there. Please call him at 212-226-1573 as soon as possible. Pg. 3 �WELCOME NEW MEMBERS.

FRONT RUNNER ENTERS HAWAII IRONMAN RACE. Undaunted by the formidable odds against getting into the world 1 s most famous triathlon event, Glenn Person has succeeded in obtaining a race number for the Hawaii Ironman scheduled for Oct. 18, 1986. Over 30,000 applications were considered for the several hundred lottery numbers available to first-time Ironmen and Ironwomen. Getting into the race might be the eosiest part of it. The term "Ironman" typically refers to an event combining a 2.4 mile ocean swim, 112 mile bike segment, followed by a marathon. While the distances alone are impressive, the course conditions make this race particularly brutal: a pounding ocean surf, blistering heat, and mile after mile of unrelenting hills and sun-baked lava beds. Glenn is aiming for a finishing time of somewhere between 11 and 12 hours. Let 1 s give him our support and admiration for daring to tackle the most challenging of all human endurance events. Carl Zanolli DID YOU MEET THE MEMBERSHIP? On Saturday, May 17, about 100 Front Runners gathered in Central Park to celebrate our annual Meet the Membership run and picnic. After posing for a group photo for our Gay Pride Run Program, we split up into groups led by pace captains and ran anywhere from 3 to 6 miles. We then opened our blankets, sated ourselves with food, and spent the rest of the time enjoying the company of our fellow FRs. Thanks to all of the pace captains and to those who didn 1 t run but watched over our bags instead. And most of all, thanks to you FRs for your wonderful support of such an important event.

Surprise, pardners, we're gonna have two long runs in July. After you branded your buns on the beach the week before, you'll be ready for a shady run this Sunday morn. We'll begin our run at the Anna Panettiere ranch, 142nd Street and Riverside Drive. It's north, little doggies, to the George Washington Bridge we'll go, across the bridge, do si do. We'll swing each other around, and just as quickly cross the bridge bock. We'll head north again, where we'll find serenity in the Cloisters, no gunfights there. Then it's south, running happy trails to 125th Street and Broadway. We'll swing each other around one more time, head north again, and end at the ranch. A square donee of a run! Cowpokes and pretty little things should call Anno at (212) 491-2698 or Joe Criscione at (718) 721-3699, if interested. Anno's residence is at 644 Riverside Drive, ff8D. To get there, take the #1 train to 145th Street. Walk one block from Broadway to Riverside, then down to 142nd. If 11 miles are more trails than yo want, you can do a shorter five miles by running from Anna's place, to the bridge, across, and back. For a shorter run still, just run from Anna's to the Cloisters and back. S I NG I NG 01\1 THE RUN .

Neither stitches in an Irishman's side, nasty water in Union Square Park nor pains courtesy of our coaches exercises could mar this short be melodic 6.5 miles. As usual the dark cool, goy atmosphere of The Spike's Sunday brunch provided a perfect finish line treat. Special high "C" to Leo Boneou for expertly taxing our bags downtown. Tro, La, La-- Bill Ross RUNNING MONOLOGUE. At the beginning of one of the club's Saturday AM runs I greeted one or two of our women members with a hug and kiss. A neighbor of mine later blushed at me in the elevator of my building, and confessed that she had thought that I was goy. Can you imagine that? For years it was imagined that gay men and lesbian women cannot and would not associate with each other. Surely that is not true among the FRs. If there is a CanTton quality among our group, it would be that we hove made a choice. For many it was a hard choice, for others it was easy and natural. We've made sexual choices, and we have proved that we are able to choose friendships. We of choice, seem to be friendly enough, but as a total group we ore rarely together in large social gatherings. I wonder if we can choose to see each other as equal friends? Howard Kessler AREA's ARIA. The meaning of Goy pride is not so much the acceptance of what we are as it is the responsibility we have for what we are. Howard Kessler MAY 18, 1986 1,187 M. Ron into Toronto yesterday, accompanied by a couple of runners from "Out and Out," the gay outdoors group. It was a scorcher but a lot be +ter than the last venture into Canada. Got hailed on in Quebec! The weather's been pretty erratic. Warm and sunny in the Adirondacks and snow in Schenectady. Tongue Mountain near Lake George was the steepest climb-- 2 miles straight up! Quite a trip running into my home town. The Lockport police were the first ones so for to refuse us an escort. Ironic? I came out to the local paper and radio station. Any closet left in my life was shattered here. Ran across the Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls and midway, whipped off the Stars and Stripes and threw on the Maple Leaf. Next major stop, Cleveland. Friday, June 13, Very warmly received in Cleveland, OH, and in Erie, PA. Got to meet Mark Hansfield, the man who last year biked from Anchorage to Key West for the Wellness Network of Detroit's AIDS group in that city.

We ate breakfast at Jason's as usual, hot coffee and warm bagels to thaw out our freezing buns; but the one thing that was missing which was very unusual, no one sold T-shirts, not even a one!

It seems as though we barely finished with January, and here June and Gay Pride Run are upon us! It's not too late, however, to enter the race, volunteer to staff, solicit an advertising sponsor, contribute moola yourself, house an out-of-town Front Runnerj or dream up (and follow through on) an after-race extravaganza. In short, there is plenty you can do to make our fifth annual Gay Pride Run the best ever. We're counting on each and every one of you to show your support by joining us out there on June 28 for this unique event. FIFTH ANNUAL GAY PRIDE RUN. With four weeks to go before Saturday, June 28, the race is on a good pace and accelerating. Race entries to date are almost double what they were at this time last year, and personal donations by club members are up, too. Volunteers (no doubt lured by the promise of a special, first-time, pre-race volunteers kick-off party --Tues., June 17, 6/7:30pm, at the Community Center, 208 W. 13) are rallying to the call for volunteers. Guy Zelenak's phone (718-278-8280, just in case you get itchy fingers) should be ringing off the hook. In case his line is busy, do remember that Assist. Vol. Dir. Russell Redmond will be happy to take your call at (212) 255-0372. Tech. Dir. Julie Kelm, and Assist. Tech. Dir. Kathy Kuzmin are ordering race numbers and trophies (lots of trophies this year, with four new age categories!), and sweating over the minutest details of race logistics and time-lines. Prog. Dir. T.J. Storch and his staff are working madly to meet the race program deadline at Tower Press, egged on by the brilliant and harried Graphics Director and Race Designer, Joe Piliero. T-shirt artist Tim Wilson has delivered final art to Gale Graphics and the Racers ! and Volunteers' T-shirts promise to be stunning. Meanwhile, the quiet, steady, and competent Lee Abbey and Tom Cook (Mailing Coordinator & Housing Coordinator, repectively) are working to ensure that the out-of-town racers Lee's mailing campaign has enticed here, are comfortably housed in the accommodations Tom has secured for them. To the above Task Force members, Richard Walker, Steve Gerben, the Board of FRNY, and all the elite, finish-line "shock troops" who show up to work races each weekend, very special, very personal thanks. To all the racers who will run on June 28, the best of luck and a good tailwind! And to our newest Race Benefactor, American Natural Beverage Corp., makers of Soho Natural Soda, welcome on board for the third year in a row! Their financial underwriting support, joined with that of Sustaining Benefactor, Christopher St. Financial, Inc., and co-sponsor, The New York Native, will go a long way in ensuring the financial well-being of the race (and slaking the thirsts of racer and volunteer alike!). We look forward to having each member of the club join us as either a racer or a volunteer on June 28 for what promises to be the biggest race ever in the five year history of the event.

For ticket information, obtain a form from Richard Walker. · FROM THE COACH: CHOOSING YOUR SHOES To make a proper shoe choice, you must know at least two basic functions (1) How the foot functions, and (2) what function the shoe serves. There are several definitions you need to know, for now and later: Pronation: The inward rotation of the foot during the foot strike phase of the running gait. Supination: The outward rotation of the foot during foot strike. Shinsplints: Irritation of a tendon that attaches to the foot, which occurs when the foot goes through excessive motion. Plantar fascitis: A pain beneath the arch due to excessive motion. The weight bearing portions of the running gait are the heel strike, midstance, and propulsion. We'll concentrate on heel strike because it produces most of the injuries. Contrary to common belief, the foot is designed to pronate as the heel strikes the ground, an action necessary to reduce overall shock. The shoe we choose must be designed to minimize this shock, as well as to support the foot in a manner that minimizes the rotation. The amount of pronation is one of the primary determining factors in shoe selection. First, you must determine your category: normal, overpronator, or underpronator. Your arch is a good guide. A normal arch is a normal pronator, a flat foot is an overpronator, and a high arch is an underpronator. This is simplistic, not foolproof, but a place to start. If your foot strike is normal, you must simply concern yourself with a comfortable shoe that is the correct size. The overpronator requires a shoe that has a lot of cushioning at the outer heel and firm midsole support. While the underpronator needs less cushioning at the heel and a more flexible midsole. The weight of the shoe is not as important as support and cushioning. A strong heel cup is also more important than shoe weight. The last area is price, which should not be a prime consideration. All of the above areas, if properly considered, may save you more in grief than any amount of money you imagine. Other aspects of shoe selection will be covered in subsequent issues. Stay tuned.

On April 20, six Front Runner women headed for "do Bronx" to do the first in a series of biathlons. The run portion was along the boardwalk at Orchard Beach where we could watch the lead runners and encourage each other in passing. Then it was onto our bikes to work our quads the second part of the race. After an 18-mile bike ride on a relatively flat yet slightly windy course, it was time for the second run. Cries of "my quads," "my quads," were heard in the transition area--it was time to get off our buns and onto the legs for another 2.8 mile run. Now the only thing left to battle was tired legs and Pg. 3 �Greller Gremlins. While the Gremlins battled it out with Kathy 'Kodak' Ku~in for prime photo positions, we all finished with smiles on our faces. Like' the true FRs we are, we could not walk away empty handed. Minnesota Mary won second place in her age group! Fran De Nardo QUEENS GO(es) BI. On May 11, five FRs headed out to Queens to do the second of the biathlon series. Queens wasn't easy on the athletes, challenging us with a variety of terrains for the 3 mile runs and the 18 mile bike ride. The run brought us over hills and grass patches; the bike portion brought us through bourgeois Bayside. At the end of it all, showing once again that FRNY is an award-winning team, Lenore (Bikie) Beaky captured third place in her age category. Congratulations to all who finished! There are more Bi 'sand Tri's coming up; see the race notes for a list. Can you do it? Tri and see! If enough are interested, we can car pool/picnic at these events. Spectators also welcome: We :an always use cheering on. Fran De Nardo A RUN ON THE NATION'S CAPITOL. The fifth annual Washington DC trip, on the weekend of May 2-4, was a resounding success. Carefully choreographed by Howard Kessler, it was a wonderful mix of running, cultural events, and socializing with our Capitol cohorts. The bus ride down, strictly managed by President Richard ("no one can eat until we hit the New Jersey Turnpike") Walker, was f o 1 1owed b y t he j o s t 1 i n g t o f i n d o u r h o s t s ( "Oh , I hope I hope I hope my h o s t i s Mr. Big Arms/White Polo Shirt"). Saturday morning found us, our Washington hosts, and a small {but pulchritudinous) Philadelphia group, assembled on the Mall for a wonderful, if windy, morning fun run on a loop anchored by the Capitol and the Washington Monument, followed by a freestyle brunch at the Old Post Office (now a "cute-rified" agglomeration of trendy eateries). The afternoon activities demonstrated our urbane, cultured nature, as we hit the National Gallery (fabulous Impressionist show), Museum of American History (fabulous Hollywood exhibit), Air and Space Museum (fabulous cornfed Midwestern high school boys), and other points of interest. Saturday night's dinner at the Plaza Hotel was a great time to get to know our hosts better (even though Bill Dolan suggested that the chicken had been fed rubber bands until dead of starvation), after which the group broke up to visit various pulsating night spots. Sunday morning's Capitol Hill lOK went off without a hitch, with Joe Piliero leading the Front Runner contingent to the finish line. After a lovely brunch at the · home of Keith Buchanan and Kerry Jones, we once again went our separate ways, to meet at Dupont Circle for a warm farewell to our Washington hosts, and a snoozy bus ride home. Harold Levine LONG-AND-SHORT-OF-IT TOURS LONG RUN: FROM QUEENS TO KINGS. June 8, lO:OOam, 12 and 7.5 miles. Our next long run will be in June, the month we allow our gay pride to bubble over. And what better place to begin this run than in the Borough of Queens? The run will begin at the Joe Criscione apartment, 30-18 49th St., #3N, in Astoria. We will romp through Long Island City to the Queensboro (59th Street) Bridge. Across the bridge, then south down Third Avenue, then west along 14th Street, then south again down Eighth Avenue and Hudson· Street until the majestic towers of the World Trade Center are upon us. Once around the towers we will go, then head north along West Street, until we reach those majesties of the Village, Manny Gonzalez and Jim Schmidt. There we will be treated to a brunch fit for kings and queens. The Schmidt/Gonzalez residence is 382 West St., #2A. If you plan on attending the run and brunch, contact Jim and Manny, (212) 989-8252 or Joe, (718) 721-3699. The full run will be 12 miles. If this distance is a bit too royal for you, a shorter, 7.5 mile run will begin at about 10:45am at the foot of the Manhattan side of the Queensboro Bridge, where we will pick up the FRs doing the full long run. If you wish to do the shorter run and attend the brunch afterwards, contact Jim, Manny, or Joe (see phones above). To get to my apartment for the start of the long run take theE or F train (IND line) to Queens Plaza and change for the Queens-bound G train. Ride the G Pg. 4 �train to the 46th Street stop. 721-3699. Joe Criscione For further information contact me at (718) SHORT RUN: MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC. June 22, ll:OOam, 6.5 miles. Music is one of life's greatest pleasures, and New York has some of the best music halls in the world. For June, we will pay homage to some of these pleasure palaces. The run will start at Riverside Park and 72 Street. We will quickly make our way to Broadway, heading down the Great White Way until we reach Lincoln Center. Aida will bid farewell as we pass. At Columbus Circle, we'll head east, then south again, until Sinatra's crooning in Carnegie Hall can be heard. From there, it's east and south again, past Ashford & Simpson at Radio City Music Hall, then west again followed by a descent down Broadway. We'll pass some of the finest musical theatres. Down Seventh Avenue for our next stop, Madison Square Garden. The Stones will be rockin' as we run by. Our last visit will be to the Palladium, which was formerly the New York Academy of Music, only the premier music hall of the 1940's and 50's. Our musical journey will end at the Spike. If this run brings music to your ears, give Joe Criscione a ring at (718) 721-3699. BY THE RIVER. April 27, 1986. The day: overcast and cool--not what Mr. G predicted. My physical condition: exhausted; functioning on a little sleep, given the Front Runners party the night before, and the switchover to daylight savings. Obstacles to the course: we (only 9 of us) had to compete for space with a bike-a-thon and the March of Dimes Walk America. The incentive: a superbrunch served by Cathy Schwartz & Sue Ann Butwell at their East Side apartment. (Let's hear it for the East Side!) My feelings: very positive. The special Sunday run + brunch is perhaps my favorite vision of Front Runners. Attendance is generally small, and thus a great way to get to know more members. As for as I'm concerned, Let's keep it our secret--it's the other Front Runners' loss for not joining in. Joseph Straus [)()IM\J GAY GAMES UNIF~. Red worm-up suits with white stripes and lettering have been chosen by 3GNY as the official uniform for Team New York during Goy Games. The cost of the worm-up suit is $39 (with up to $20 being refunded at a later dote, depending on the 3GNY fundraising results). Call Gwen Deely at (212) 533-4049 to place your order. The competitive uniforms for runners consist of a white singlet or t-shirt with a red and blue Team New York Logo. Contrary to the original information, these shirts will cost each athlete approximately $5. More information on the shirts will follow. Accompanying running shorts should be bright red. Athletes are responsible for choosing and paying for their own shorts. While outfitting yourself as a member of Team New York is not inexpensive, the camaraderie and sheer excitement Gay Gomes creates is worth the investment. Questions regarding uniforms, call Bob Richert or Richard Walker. THE SOCIAL CALENDAR Goy Pride Weekend is almost upon us. Saturday, June 28, is the race. After the race there is a picnic in The Rambles arranged by Jeff Guasco. That evening is the dance arranged by Julie Kelm at Garbo's, 225 West Broadway, 9-11pm. Your FR card or running number will get you in free. Sunday ~~is a run through Central Park. The Goy Pride Parade will follow and finally the festival at Christopher St. Get lots of rest during the preceding weeks. You'll need it. Howard Kessler RACE TRACKS.

The Fran DeNardo All-Star Traveling Biathlon-Triathlon Athletic and Picnicking Association made the third appearance of its current tour in Greenwich, CT. Day dawned early, to say the least, with pre-5 am wake-up calls and a ride up I-95 for the groggy biathletes. The "Two Outa Three" Biathlon (10K run, followed by 25-mile bike ride) is held on what must be the hilliest course in all of the Northeast. 1\Jearly 500 competitors, some sporting in-cred-ible delts, pees, biceps and triceps, pushed themselves up steep inclines and hurtled down precipitous drops for the initial run. Unfortunately, there was a plethora of steep inclines but only a piddling number of precipitous drops. Fortunately, more precipitous drops were awaiting us as we transitioned (a neologism!) into the bike ride. Like carrot cake after veggies, however, the precipitous drops came only after about five or so Annapurna-like summits. This writer of necessity finally learned to drink from her water bottle while perched on a moving Nishiki. Kvetching aside, though, you haven't experienced exhilaration till you've careered down a twisty, woodsy road, bent low over the bike, wind whist! ing past--only to meet a truck coming round the bend! Race and exertion over --and did those quad s cry out, or was that me?--we lay in the sun, soaked up the rays, scarfed up the food, read up the Times, and eventually made our way back to the city.

Two articles recently appeared in The Journal £i the American Medical Association discussing the topic of running and osteoarthritis. Both studies involved small numbers of people: one dealing with men and women; the other with men only. Both groups came to the same conclusions. "Our observations suggest that there are no deleterious musculoskeletal consequences for individuals, at least into their 50s, who have averaged running 12 years at 28 miles/wk, including marathons." Of particular interest to women, one group made the observation: "Runners, both male and female, have approximately 40% more b o n e m i n e r a 1 t h a n ma t c h e d c o n t r o 1 s . . . .

The Canadians are coming, and we're planning a warm welcome for our Northern friends. A group of runners and square dancers from Toronto's gay and lesbian outdoor sports club, "Out and Out" (surely the most cleverly titled group I know), is visiting New York on the weekend of September 27. We'll be planning a special run for that date, as well as joining the Times Squares that evening for two-stepping and square dancing. Save the date!

August 24, 1 0 am, 15 mi 1e s . We' 11 need Nan Bailey home for this run, because the start and end is the Park Slope place of t-lan, and Barbara Berger. This trek takes us from near Prospect Park to Coney Island and back. We'll start at the Bailey-Berger abode, run south to the salty air of Coney Island, hang ten along Surf Avenue to Ocean Parkway, then begin a long voyage north along the parkway until the greenery of Prospect Park soothes our eyes. Making our way to the Bailey-Berger residence, we'll be rewarded for a hard day's work with a fabulous feast. The Bailey-Berger address is 214 St. John's Place, fl3, Brooklyn, NY. Interested? If so, please call Barbara or Nan at (718) 622-9132 or me at (718) 721-3699. (Note: If 15 miles 1s more of Brooklyn than you wish to see, you can do a much shorter run by going from the Bailey-Berger place to Prospect Park and doing a few loops there.

How proud he made us feel to see him as we have always seen him. Pg. 3 �He is Brent. You know, one of the FRs. The one who is out there doing something relevant, important, and relieving a portion of the burden from all of our shoulders. Yes, the rest of the world could say that we homosexuals are interested only in our rights, with no responsibilities, if not for our 10,000 mile runner. He is running for the education that might lead to the end of AIDS. There is one major stumbling block: The cost of keeping himself and his small band is quite high. It is not a lack of spirit that might cut short the run, it is the money. The ball is now in your court. How many friends have you lost lately? Now, what are you going to do about it? Howard Kessler AREA'S ARIA. On July 2Lnd, the last 16m of the first leg of the AREA Run was accompanied by the absolutely terrific Chicago Club members. They threw a wonderful party for us the night before, after the third benefit performance of the National Company of "La Cage Aux Folies." Being back with you for Gay Pride Weekend was an incredible 1 ift. Hard to believe not running lOOm a week for two weeks got me out of shape. The firtt week back was rough. July 7th, I left Chicago accompanied by supportive Kip Baranoff and Carry Nurse fran Chicago's FRs . The next weekend we were warmly received in Milwaukee, and now, into Madison, WI. We're planning an early start because of the heat and humidity. The recent Supreme Court ruling makes our Gay Pride Run and the Gay Games more important than ever. See you there. Brent N. Earle THE DATE HAS BEEN SET. Philadelphia, here we come. September 12th we will take the chartered bus fran CPW and 72nd St. at 6:00pm, or Sheridan Square at 6:30pm. Time and Tour wait for no one so pick up your burger King or health salad early. We will be greeted by our "brotherly lovers" for a welcome back get-together, and then off to our personal hosts' and hostesses' hospices (say that five times fast). They have planned a Saturday run, a walking tour (you're on your own for dinner), two brunches, and a champagne dessert at extra cost notch, so if you are interested add $8.00 to $25 . 00 which is the cost of the bus. There is also a special world premier of a piece by George Frederick Handel at Christ Church. Oh yes, The Philadelphia Half Marathon will be on Sunday the 14th. The bus holds 43 bodies. Count yours in. First check, first reserved. Howard Kessler SO WE'RE NOT IN 'FRISCO. While those who are able to shake the ground at the Gay Games are performing for our general glory, we who can't get away will conmiserate in the sun with Jones .•• Beach, that is. No bicycling. hlo running. We're just going to eat bon-bons and bitch about all those in California. There's safety in numbers. If you're not part of the Games you had better be with us or you'll burn from worse than the sun. Meet after you buy your ticket at the LIRR information booth Sunday, August 17th, at 8:30am. Dishes are mandatory. If you ' re late, meet us at our usual spot. Howard Kessler HAVE YOU GOT A COSTUME YET? No? Better think about it. Our Marathon carbo-loading party is on Halloween, Friday, October 31st. It will be held at Number 3 School, just south of Christopher Street on Hudson Street. You can be in the parade and then come to the party. More of the particulars will be up coming. Howard Kessler NEWS FROM THE NORTHWEST. Want to know where to go if you'd like to run between the blue sky and a bluer lake? Where to go if you'd like to meet 30 friendly Front Runners, breathe fresh air, and eat good food for cheap? Heaven? No. Just /v'linneapolis, Minnesota. If you plan to be there any time soon, take Mary Tomich's advice and meet for a run at 10:00 am, Sunday morning on the Northwest end of Lake Calhoun. The Minneapolis Front Runners are as friendly as friendly can be, and the scenery is even better than the food. And if you're looking for a different marathon this fall, keep the Twin Cities Marathon in mind. It's flat, fast, very beautiful, and takes place October 12.

I am pleased to announce that Carl Zanolli will be serving as our new men's race captain. His enthusiasm in racing and participation in Coa7h Cliff's clinics will put him in good stead to motivate us all to do our best 1n team and individual races. So when Cap'n Carl calls,pull out those racing shoes for a new personal best! It is appropriate at this time to thank Dan Del Monte for the contributions he has made to FRNY over several years as race captain, and to wish him well in his mounting work and school comnitments. Fran DeNardo is also resigning as women's race captain due to an increased class load in the fall semester. So now, we're looking for a woman to fill the race captain's position. Interested women should talk with me at a fun run. Despite two resignations in the same month, I'm really not that hard on the race captains; am I, Fran and Dan? Richard Walker RACE TRACKS.

No , it's the second annual Frontrunners/Philadelphia weekend on Sept. 12-14. Why are so many members looking forward to going? Is it that the Philadelphia Half Marathon is a nice cool-down after the Gay Games? Is it a cheap weekend away (only $33 for bus transportation, get-togethers, and brunches)? Is it the Liberty Bell, Bookbinders, or candleshops? Mostly, it_ is the old and new friends from the City of Brotherly--and may I add Sisterly-- Love. If you are planning to go, it's a "first check received, first reserved" weekend, and the bus holds only 43. As of August 24th, 48 people had indicated they wanted to go. Is your check in?

Led by a strong women's contingent, complemented by a pack of "older men," Team New York captured a phenomenal 91 medals, including 40 golds, in track and field and the marathon at Gay Games II. This fine showing placed New York first in overall medals for the running events, a feat all the more impressive when you consider the majority of our team had never competed in a track meet prior to setting foot on the San Francisco State oval. Particularly outstanding performances were turned in by Marty King, Judy Spina, Philip Dlackwell, Claudette Furlonge, Tom Cracovia, and Inger-Jo Berger, who captured enough medals among them to open a jewelry store. But congratulations are also in order for our runners who set PRs against tough competition, particularly in the 30-34 and 35-39 age groups. All who participated have something to be proud of, as the Games bring together every four years the top gay athletes in the world, in a setting akin to the Olympic Games. Complete Gay Games II results appear elsewhere in the news 1e t t e r . On t o Vancouver i n 1 9 9 0 ! Bob Ri c her t GAY GAMES II-~A WOMAN'S PERSPECTIVE. The uniforms are bright red, snappy blue, ice gray; the Australians are there, and the New Zealanders, and the Parisians. As we wait to enter the stadium, we take pictures, tell stories about flights to San Francisco, exchange pins, stare at each other, and grin. Finally, we are inside Kezar Stadium; the audience goes wild; I get misty; and Gay Games II has begun! For the rest of our stay, people will come up to us in the Muni (the transportation system) and on Castro Street, and say, "Welcome to San Francisco! What's your sport? How did you win those medals?" Coming into The Patio restaurant, I feel like Dustin Hoffman's Tootsie at the Russian Tea �Some of us, when not basking in the Castro's adulation, see Pat Bond Room. playing Eleanor Roosevelt, or commune with nature (the redwoods), or hit the bookshops (Old Wives Tales) or the bars (Maud's , Amelia's).

And then there are the spectacular performances of Mickey, Jean, Brenda, Connie, Firth, Peg, and the best dressed civilian, Claudette! The women collect dozens of medals and new notions about themselves. Not that women athletes from other teams go the explosive grace of the LA and SF sprinters, the strength and unnoticed: depth of the San Diego masters, and the brassy muscles of the California But bodybuilders which catch our eyes and make us catch our collective breath. finally and astonishingly soon (it always happens like this), we are carrying our balloons and pins and warm-ups into Kezar Stadium for closing ceremonies. We release the balloons; some of us let go of our pins &nd warm-ups, but none of us will lose the feelings we have from this week. As expressed by a sign from opening ceremonies, "Thank God I'm Gay!" Lenore Beaky THE FOG AND THE MEDALS KEPT ROLLING IN. San Francisco h~s almost a magical quality about it, and Gay Games II raised the excitement to a peak level.

On Sunday, Team New York gathered early at Cox Stadium for a long day of trials and finals. The first of what was to be a veritable storehouse of medals began rolling in to Team New York as the women and men in the red shorts finished the lOK The team spirit was amazing; you can't imagine what it does for your events. performance--not to mention your ego--to have 40 teammates chanting your name as you pass on the track. Yards and yards of Kodak film were exposed as our team members stood on the platform to receive bronze, silver and gold. In the three days before the finals began, various FRs became tourists in San Francisco, hiked the mountains in Yosemite, or came down with what has become the "New York cold/flu/pneumonia." Coughs notwithstanding, we were back in full force on the track for three more days of events. By the end of the relay events, you would have thought we were old pros at baton p~ssing--not a single person tried to twirl these colorful items! In one of the most exciting finishes of the track events, the men's 30-39, 4 x 400 relay team consisting of Bob Richert, TJ Storch, Richard Walker, and Phil Blackwell, fought hard for the Then, bronze medal, losing in a photographic fini~h by only 4/100 of a second! several FRs packed away their spikes and turned to the marathon. On a course 2 �for which the elevation profile could be described as an EKG of a person undergoing electric shock treatments, our mighty FRs gave quite an impressive showing. Rick Buckheit won silver in the highly competitive 18-29 category; Marty King and Inger Berger also took medals; Brent Earle had aPR (running 20 miles ·a day for 5 months does pay off!); Barry Miguel and the Pauls (Kelly and Travis) were early-on finishers; Steve Yeary bettered his PR time by 30 minutes; Steve Gerben demonstrated his new "respectable marathon time on 15 miles a week training" method; Leonora Lucon cursed and swore she's never run those hills again. And then it was time to say good-bye. Fortunately, the sadness of the end of this fantasy week was offset by announcement of the 1990 Games in Vancouver and the almost lascivious trading of tee-shirts and singlets off the backs of other athletes. Gay Games 11--it's an event we'll long savor. Don't miss Gay Games III--you'll love it. Richard Walker GAY GAMES TRIATHLON. Even by Bay Area standards, the Tuesday morning of the Gay Games Triathlon was unusually foggy. Situated high up in the Berkeley Hills, the course consisted of a half-mile swim, a 20-mile cycle segment, and a 6-mile run. Ninety-three men and women from all over the country--but mostly the West Coast--made their way through the thick fog to assemble for a 9:00Al\'I start at Lake Anza. George Waffle, Dan Trimbach, Mark Lanaghan, and Carl Zanolli represented the FR contingent and Team New York. The competition appeared first-rate--especial ly the boys from San Diego (triathlon capital of the world) who climbed out from their Datsun pick-up on heavily muscled and shaved legs. We knew we were in trouble. The fog was so thick that not one of the--buoy markers was visible, so many of us lost precious time swimming in circles. Sadists must have designed the cycle and run courses. The hills of Central Park were no preparation for climbing the endless series of steep mountains--one of which could easily have been mistaken for the Matterhorn. Finally, the California sun broke through the fog just in time to make the run nice and hot. An Australian was the first finisher (he runs a 2:30 marathon) followed, of course, by the San Diego boys. As a team, FRs performed well, with our first member fJnishing 12th .overall. Carl Zanolli GAY GAMES THANKS. Organizing the running contingent of Team New York was one of those exponentially expanding tasks I would have been hesitant to undertake had I seen more than the tip of the iceberg last winter. Fortunately, with each increase in the workload, another avid worker seemed to appear, so a few hundred "thank you's" are in order to Firth Whitehouse, women's and 18-29 age group coordinator; Andy Hickes, 40+ age ,group coordinator; Charlie Carson, who compiled the directory that kept us all in touch in SF; Coach Cliff Pauling, who focused our training by opening his classes to all track and field entrants; and Tom Cracovia, Front Runner and multi-sport medalist, who was a co-founder of New York's Gay Games umbrella organization, 3GNY. Ai.d last, but not least, a perfect "stick" to Richard Walker, first for his co~petence in appointing me Gay Games coordinator; secondly for helping coordinate the concerns of getting to, getting housed, and being properly attired in, San Francisco (freeing me to concentrate on our entries), and finally, for being a sounding board for various decisions that had to be made in areas unfamiliar to nascent track stars. Personally, I am taking a break from administrative duties thank God these Games are only once every four years to concentrate on training for nothing longer than a 5K.

Also, Judy Spina has agreed to coordinate workouts at the track for those interested in continuing the shorter distances. Bob Richert A Note from Prez. When someone puts in as much effort as Bob Richert did in coordinating our Gay Games events, "thank you" seems insufficient. Accolades are in order for his outstanding job. We certainly appreciate your effort! We do, however, have information that Bob is resigning from administrative duties, not to concentrate on training, but to hone his dancing skills at The Saint. Well, it is aerobic, and it does exercise the legs. Thanks for your help, Bob. 3 �PLANNING AHEAD.

On a steamy, torrid Sunday morning of July 25th, Sheriff Joe Criscione led a posse of FRs on a tour of the wild and upper West Side. We began at the ranch of Anna Panettiere at 142nd St. and Riverside Drive, headed north, over the George Washington Bridge, and back to Manhattan with a side stop at the Cloisters (was this a fun nun?). We galloped back to the Panettiere ranch for a delightfully appetizing brunch of homemade muffins, fresh bagels, fruit, and coffee. Among the uninvited guests was my dog Scottie, who bit off more than he could shoe--Leonora's new Adidas. Oh well, a dog day afternoon it was indeed! Debbie White BUSINESS MEETING.

I'd like to thank those "Original Nine" for their vision and their tenacity for keeping things running (pun intended) during the early lean periods. Four of those nine are still members: Harold Brueland, Ron Kirchem, George Waffle, and Steve Weinstock. With these pioneers serving as stirring inspirations, ask not what your club can do for you ••• run for an office and help lead FRNY through its 8th year. Be prepared to commit yourself to the time required in managing a large organization; be prepared for the rewards as well. If you have questions about what is involved with a particular office, please talk to that officer, director, or me. Richard Walker LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD WOMEN AND MEN. The first step in our election process will take place at the Oct. 15th business meeting. Bob Richert has been appointed Elections Officer and will be taking nominations for 1987 officers and directors. Any member may nominate him/herself or any other member in good standing. Nominations will remain open until the November business meeting, and the ballots will be sent out with the December mailing. Additional details will appear in next month's newsletter. BENEFIT RUN. The Fourth Annual Benefit Run is the next major FR event, so set aside Sat., Oct. 18. Enclosed with this newsletter is further information and a sponsor sheet. Please get as many sponsors as possible. Use the "Note to the Sponsors" paragraph on the pledge form to help explain the operation of the Benefit Run to the people you ask for money. Don't forget to invite them to picnic with us (weather permitting) in Sheep Meadow directly following the run. Cathy Schwartz has volunteered to guard the picnic baskets while you run. This event is open to all runners, so please urge your non-FR friends to join us. To help those who have not previously run with us feel more welcome, we need pace and/or distance captains, so please call me to volunteer. For all of you training for the -upcoming marathons, why not reserve October 18th as a day to do at least 20 miles? There is no minimum or maximum distance, but of course, the more the better. Our gay and lesbian service organizations need your support, so plan to be there on Oct. 18. Call me at (212) 757-2846. Firth Whitehouse BUSINESS MEETING. What were three dozen FRs doing in the Village on a Wednesday? Did someone move Central Park? No, as a pleasant change of pace, the FR business meeting was held at the Village home of Manny Gonzalez and Jim Schmidt. After a run to the Battery, reminiscent of the early days of FRs, the meeting got under way. In addition to the usual treasurer's and board reports, Jim Schmidt announced promising news about our sales tax exemption status. It seems New York State has asked us to resubmit our application for exemption. This, according to FR counsel Rob Wintemute, is a good sign. Excitement was in the air as Howard Kessler and Julie Kelm spoke about plans for our October 31 Halloween/Carbo-loading/7th Anniversary Party. In addition to Board members telephoning new members a month after they join, a six-month follow-up call will be made to ensure new members feel welcome. The next .business meeting will be on October 15 at 9pm, at the home of Patrick Barker, 120 West 15th St., #3, (212) 255-6564. Check the running schedule for the fun run location.

So what if no one opted to run the scheduled 15-mile course? It was a gorgeous, gusty day, and a fabulous time was had by all. Everyone did his or her own thing in terms of distancP., and if you add the total mileage of all who participated, it was a very long run indeed. Besides, the brunch itself was of marathon proportions. Thank you, Nan and Barbara, for a seemingly never-ending feast and _for sharing your lovely home. Joy Allen PHILADELPHIA TRIP. Fashionably late, a packed Greyhound bus set out for the City of Brotherly Love and the Philadelphia Distance Run. Though the journey three hours, the time "flew" thanks to the pampering of our thoughtful air hostesses, who nimbly demonstrated the safety and entertainment features of our craft and distributed nuts to the fruits. Once in Philly, we were met by our Pennsylvania counterparts in front of the Unitarian Church, and were served a fantastic buffet. Matched with hosts, many later visited the local establishments, such as Woody's and Key West. The next morning, a fun run was held past the Museum of Art (one expatriate Californian fulfilled his Rocky fantasy on the steps), and along the beautiful Schuylkill River. After breakfast in Reading Terminal Market, we were treated later that afternoon to a festive tour of "Olde City" Philly. Compliments of our guide, Bert Wylen, we learned that those 13 stars Betsy Ross stitched may have had more to do with notches on bedposts than liberated colonies. We also discovered that Christ Churchyard had a great deal more to offer than just tombstones -- it was the live bodies basking in the sunshine that caught our eyes. After a Saturday night of dancing, champagne, and dessert, many congregated the next morning at the Distance Run starting line, joining 7000 others. The 13.1 mile race again traced the Schuylkill River, finishing at the "Love" statue near City Hall. Leading FR David Casey completed the course in 1:16:25, under beautiful weather conditions that benefited both runner and spectator. Afterwards, burgundy shirts in hand, many went to Woody's for a generous brunch for Philadelphia, New York, and Washington FRs. Earl y that evening, an appropriately named Holiday Cruiser bus picked us up and deposited us back in Manhattan Sunday night. Many thanks to all those Philade l phia FRs who hosted us and, in particular, to President Lee Graham, for a wonderful weekend. Tom Giles NEWS FROM NYRRC. Starting next month, only NYRRC members will be listed in the race results published in Running News for all non-sponsored events. The magazine, they claim, has always been a financial drain, and this is a cost cutting measure. A good reason to be a member, if only to see your name in print! Carl Zanolli 2 �RACE STAFFING OF THE MONTH. It is now time to work again to help ensure the use of NYRRC equipment for GPR '87. If we ever have to rent this equipment, it will add a large amount to our race budget. We will work the following races: Sun., Oct. 12, Marathon Tune-Up, report at 8:30am to Tavern. Sun., Oct. 26*, Computer Run*, report at 8:30am to Tavern. Sun., Nov. 2, NYC Marathon, (finish line or 24 mile water). Sun., Dec. 21, Winter Series-6 miler, time and place TBA. [*If you are working the marathon finish line, this race is a mandatory dress rehearsal] Thanks to all for your past and future volunteering. Remember too: you still receive a certificate for free entry to any non-invitational NYRRC race for every three you work. Guy Zelenak NYC MARATHON VOLUNTEERS. Joy Allen has volunteered to be captain of the Mile 24 Water Station, staffed by FRs and friends. If anyone is interested in assisting, please contact Joy at (212) 645-3176 or me at (718) 278-8280, or see one of us at a run. We'll need to know volunteers' shirt sizes for the uniforms. I am also take names of those interested in working the finish line. Note: Joy will need a small crew to be at the 24 mile spot early to receive the equipment, a crew to do set-up, and a crew to do clean-up. All will hand out the water to the runners. Guy Zelenak "FAMILY" CONTACT PROGRAM. If you are interested in helping with a Contact Program to keep us in touch with members of our FR family who for whatever reason are unable to be out there running with us, please call me at (212) 475-7510 before the October business meeting. These members are not running and would like hearing from you: Russell Redmond, 5606 Tomahawk Trail, Durham, NC 27712; Francis Brady, 208 West 23 St, #1409, NYC 10011; and Debbie White, 165 West 87 St., #1, NYC 10024. One of our members who is out there running, but thousands of miles away, is Brent Nicholson Earle, AREA, 2350 Broadway, #1016, NYC 10024. He could use a card or letter, too. Andy Hickes COACH REPORT AND COMMITTEE MEETING. The Coach Committee will be meeting on Wednesday, October 22, at 9pm, at Steve Gerben's, 52 West 85th St., #1R, to discuss surveys which members have been sending in over the past few months. The results of the 35 surveys returned will be discussed to make improvements in the FR coaching program. Anyone interested in improving the program is encouraged to attend. Participants of the current coaching session are receiving very personalized attention as a result of a drop in attendance compared to past sessions. A total of 18 members are taking the regular Monday evening session and Tuesday Marathon session. Cliff's training methods proved out well in San Francisco. Of the 31 FR clinic participants who took part in the Gay Games, 23 brought home medals. Cliff's Saturday morning workout and lecture for the month of October will take place on the 18th, at 9:30am. Remember, Cliff is available weeknights to answer your questions over the telephone at (212) 231-4592, so give him a call! Rick Buckheit FROM THE COACH. Most runners have known the agony of diarrhea personally or through a fellow runner. Either way, we know it as a very debilitating situation. Since we are now into fall and marathon training season, which usually requires longer runs and correspondingly more energy, we don't want to defeat or compromise our training by contracting diarrhea. Therefore, we must exercise caution in what we eat since food poisoning is responsibl~ for most diarrhea. As runners, we have to be careful because diarrhea can trigger other more serious illnesses, including reactive arthritis and ulcerative colitis. Reactive arthritis, sometimes referred to as Reiter's Disease, is characterized by pain in weight-bearing joints, as well as eye and urinary tract infections. Three percent of the people who are infected with intestinal bacteria end up with reactive arthritis -- the connection is obscure because the arthritis symptoms usually occur three to four weeks after the diarrhea. Although temporary, the arthritis can last for weeks, months, or even years. The general treatment for diarrhea is: Before (prevention): Kill organisms by cooking. Avoid contamination by hand washing and using different utensils for raw and cooked meat. Refrigerate or freeze stored food to slow the growth of bacteria. During: Increase fluid intake to avoid dehydration. Avoid foods containing refined sugar and milk products. After: Eat plain yogurt and complex carbohydrates, i.~. rice, potatoes, except fruits. In addition to dehydrating the body, diarrhea causes a loss of nutrients. If they are not 3 �1 • replaced, you will lose endurance and energy. One week is the usual recovery time · from a bout with diarrhea, during which, it is essential to replace the intestinal flora and the normally stored nutrients. Therefore, highly nutritious foods (especially yogurt) should be consumed. Cliff Pauling LONG-AND-SHORT-OF-IT TOURS LONG/SHORT RUNS: The New York City Half Marathon ••• And More.

There has been some mention that a greater connection should be developed among all the Front Runner clubs. A number of the clubs visit each other regularly for special weekend trips. Some new clubs are direct outgrowths from the success of the brother/s ister organizat ions. Recently, I visited another another FR city, but did not run with their club because, during my phone call to find out where the run was, I was made to feel like I was an imposition . Now, after having talked with other FRs from a number of clubs, I have found that most clubs will go far out of their way to make an out-of-town FR feel at home. Let us start our club's "national connection" by seeking FR camaraderie when we're visiting other cities and by extending a sincerely friendly welcome to our out-of-town FR guests.

As most of you know, Russell Redmond died on Sunday, Oct. 5, of bone marrow cancer. While he lived, his presence was felt by all Front Runners.

Oct. 13. Summit. WA. 3185 miles. It was two years ago today that I decided to undertake AREA, after running in my first FRNY Benefit Run. And now I've crossed the country once, completed my Canadian tour of duty, and begun to run south along the West Coast. The Seattle FRs organized a wonderful event in conjunction with AREA's arrival in the city. It was a relay pledge run for the Northwest AIDS Foundation called "25 Hours for Friends." The theme was "There aren't enough hours in the day," and it was inspiring to see the runners and volunteers keeping vigil throughout the very cold and wet night. The Vancouver FRs, together with AIDS Vancouver, held a terrific banquet for us to benefit the Canadian AIDS Society. I was able to visit Expo '86 while there and to run with Vancouver FRs in Stanley Park. Looking forward to being back there again in 1990 for Gay Games III. Brent N. Earle AREA'S ARIA.

The team results from the Philadelphia Half Marathon are tabulated, and I'm very happy to report that our men's "A" team placed 18th out of 26, which means we beat both the Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Front Runners. Our men's "B" team scored 22nd in this world class event, which draws top running talent from all over. Special recognition to FR David Casey, who proved there was no blarney in his half marathon debut time of 1:16. Let's keep the momentum we captured from the Gay Games going through the end of the year when we face two of our most important team events: the Turkey Trot on November 27, and the real cliff-hanger, the Winter Series 6-miler on December 21.

Mental preparation is as much a part of your race training as physical I ~ II II r:I :~ ... :~1 ~ I preparation, but it's too often undervalued. Despite what a lot of coaches ·say, you need more than mere imagery or "visualiz.ation." A four-step approach can put your head in the right state (NY?) to make the most of your physical training. These steps are: (1) Identify your purpose. Take a step back and ask yourself, "What am I trying to accomplish?" Take a look at the overall picture, being careful to avoid the extraneous. (2) Examine hidden purposes. After looking at the overall picture, look for hidden or unknown purposes. A top world class runner who was training for a marathon responded to the question, "What is your overall focus?" by saying, "To do well in the race." His training log revealed he was a chronic overtrainer. Generally, an athlete who overtrains is underconfident. So, in this case, the hidden purpose was to overcome a lack of confidence. This can be totally unconscious, and extremely insidious. (3) Clear away antagonistic thoughts. There are several steps. First, redefine the meaning of winning; second, create a balance~-there will be life after running; third, combine play with competitiveness; and fourth, play the sport, don't let it play you. (4) Practice. Learn how to develop and manipulate positive images. When you ·have achieved this, applaud yourself, and continue to practice.

The glorious weather on Oct. 18th couldn't have been better for the fourth annual Benefit Run. Approximately 50 runners gathered in Central Park and after an "official" starting line pose for the press, the run began. The picnic held afterwards in Sheep Meadow continued to grow as runners completed their various distances. Now that the run is over, the task of collecting pledges and distributing the funds to our community's organizations is upon us. Please get your pledges and sponsor sheets to our treasurer Nan Bailey as soon as you can. Those returning their pledges and sponsor sheets by Nov. 15th will be eligible for prizes in the following categories: most miles run, largest amount collectged by a runner (male and female), most number of sponsors, and largest donation by a nonrunner. Prizes, which have been donated by local merchants and individuals will be presented at the Dec. 17th annual meeting. I would especially like to thank T.J. Storch, Philip Blackwell, Bob Richert and Cathy Swhwartz for their help. Our efforts are greatly appreciated by the organizzations that we have benefitted, as evidenced by the following telegram that was sent to the club by Brent Nicholson Earle of AREA: Portland. OR. Oct. 18. "To all my dear FR friends, may you have a very successful Benefit Run today. I want to thank all of you who are running for AREA.

Thank you for your votes in the past. Looking forward to serving the Club again if you'll give me your vote. JAMES MINTER. Joining Front Runners was a part of my coming out, and nowhere in the gay community have I found a more supportive environment; collectively and individually, Front Runners have created a friendly and fraternal (not to mention sororal) setting for me to be who I am: a gay man who enjoys running. I would be happy to find a way to repay the organization for what it's done for me, and to make sure Front Runners as an organization stays alive and well for gay men and women who will need it in years to come. It was a pleasure to serve the club as registration captain for the 1986 Gay Pride Run, and I would welcome the opportunity to serve the members of Front Runners as their treasurer. JOE CRISCIONE. I joined FRNY three and a half years ago, and since that time the club has brought many riches to my life. I have made many deep friendships, shared in the delights of our Saturday and Wednesday group runs, and trained side by side with other members for the NYC Marathon and the Gay Games. I have gotten to know many special lesbians and gay men through our common love for running, and have witnessed the unique input each member has given to the club. This past year, I served as the Chair for the special runs committee, and enjoyed the challenge of devising different and fun courses to travel. I was also an active member of the coach selection committee. FRNY is a positive, healthy statement of our lesbian and gay community, and I am committed to our continued growth as a premier running club. I would be honored to serve as a member of the Board of Directors. STEVE GERBEN. I have very much enjoyed my year of retirement from the Presidency of FRNY and seeing Richard have all the ''fun'' doing all the work that's involved in running an organization the size of FRNY. It has been another very successful year for the club, and I think we can all be very pleased at the way the new administration has conducted club affairs. I am running for Director-at-Large because I would like to get back into being more involved in the business affairs of the club by putting to work the experience and knowledge of club affairs that I have gained in my five years as President, along with my proven willingness to do the work that is required. Let's all work together to keep FRNY the first class organization that it is. Thank you. MICKEY ZACUTO. For the past three and one half years, FRNY has been a major source of support for me, keeping me running through times when I surely would otherwise have quit, and providing me with a valuable link to the rest of the gay community. I would like to repay this gift by devoting energy to serving on the Board of Directors, where I believe that my somewhat less mainstream gay political perspective can make a meaningful contribution. FRNY COMMITTEES. The committees of FRNY are established by the Board of Directors, and the chairpersons are named by the President. All 1986 chairs will expire at the end of the year, and certainly those willing souls are welcome to volunteer again for 1987. I do, however, encourage each of you to consider chairing one of our standing committees. And the chairperson can't do the whole job on his or her own; any one of them would welcome your help. Talk to Richard Walker if you're interested in chairing or being on any of the following committees: Social Activities, Special Runs, Newsletter Editor, Running Gear Design, Running Gear Sales, Finance, Legal, Housing Coordinator, Men's Race Captain, Women's Race Captain, Publicity, Community Outreach, Benefit Run Director, NYRRC Running News Correspondent, Family Support, GPR Race Director, GPR Technical Director, GPR Volunteer Director, GPR Graphics Director, and GPR Publicity. 3 �The Annual Meeting of FRNY will take place on Wed., Dec. 17, at the • Lesbian and Gay Community Center, 208 W .13th St., starting about 8:30pm.

We'll be wrapping up year-end business, counting the ballots, and announcing the results of the election for 1987 officers and directors. Plan on being there for our final group event of 1987! ANNUAL MEETING. My term as women's vice president will soon come to an end. Because of educational commitments, I was unable to run for another term. However, I want to thank all of you for electing me as an officer in this really terrific club. The six other board members are special people with whom I had the pleasure to work over the past year. And you, all the members of the club, are what make Front Runners the warm and loving club it is today.

The question of what to do when not training for a specific race comes up very often. People who are obligatory runners will have little trouble dealing with this question because they will always run; they are like an addict without their addictive substance. Hopefully, this does not apply to anyone reading these words because we want to control all aspects of our lives, especially running. It is absolutely necessary that we control our running so that when we race we will be in command of our activities such as pace, breathing, and recognition of body state (how we feel). When you are not preparing for a specific race, your running should be performed to either maintain your current aerobic capacity or increase/maintain your endurance. Maintenance running would be performed under very relaxed conditions. You may have to work at this because most people do not run relaxed. The rate and distance of your runs should be determined by your level. However, the basic activity level is determined by state of condition and age. For example a 30-year beginner would run at a rate of 75% of the maximum level of effort. An intermediate would run at 80%. The maximum level is determined by the formula (220) - (AGE) = MAXIMUM HEART RATE. This activity must be performed for a minimum of 30 minutes. If you want to increase your endurance, you do not have to run the entire distance at the above rate. However, the maximum distance you cover in your endurance runs will maintain your endurance for a race distance equal to three times the average distance of your endurance runs. Don't forget to join TAC. The cost is $11.00 for 1987. This fee covers insurance for lnJuries that occur at an organized training session or TAC sanctioned race. If you get injured give your coach, Cliff, a call at (212) 231-4592.

Sun, Dec. 28; 10:00am; 11 miles or less. We'll close out 1986 in a festive way by heading over the river and through the woods to T.J. Storch's house. Gather at 10:00am sharp at the Hoboken terminal of the PATH train. A baggage car will be there. We'll start by running north, along the Hudson River, through Hoboken, then by the Lincoln Tunnel, up the Weehawken Hill (a bit of a bitch, but at the summit, a most spectacular view of the Manhattan). A little further north, a loop of North Hudson Park, then back to the cozy home of T.J. Storch. There we'll be treated to a fabulous (yes, Steve G., fabulous) chip-in holiday brunch. T.J. 's address is 520 Hudson Street, #4F. If you're interested in getting your Jersey Jollies, contact T.J. at (201) 659-6542 or me at (718) 721-3699. NOTE: This is an out and back run.

Let's welcome in 1987 by celebrating in a way we're all accustomed to: let's go for a run. We'll meet at 12 noon (the last of the parties should be over) at Prez Richard Walker's place for a quick baggage drop. We'll proceed to Central Park for a loop of the park (5 or 6 miles, it's up to you) then return to Richard's for our first brunch of the New Year. A happy and healthy start to the year. If you resolve to do this run, please notify Richard at (212) 724-9700 or me at (718) 721-3699. Richard's address is 2025 Broadway (70th Street), #26E. And yes, you can wear bells on your toes. Joe Criscione 5 �A MARATHON PERSPECTIVE. Lots of people told me I wasn't training enough. My grandmother said I would probably puree my knees. A co-worker from Long Island pointed out that it was roughly the distance from our office to her house. The night before, my Spanish neighbor was giving me back rubs and pumping me full of Iberian herb tea to calm my nerves. And then, all too soon, it was Sunday, November 2, and I was standing along with It was ra1n1ng, 25 or so other Front Runners at the corner of 42nd and Fifth Avenue. which led me to wonder if the heavens were crying for us. I suppose that if they really were, they would have flooded the streets, thus preventing the buses from leaving for But, no, we all ended up in a tent at Fort Wadsworth, gobbling rolls, Staten Island. drinking water, visiting the Port-O-Sans, and engaging in nervous chatter, games, and jokes. All this while the Verrazano Narrows Bridge was shrouded by clouds, a Bali Hai of And at sorts, beckoning us towards an ominous 10:50am rendezvous at the toll booth. 10:50 a gun was fired, and the endeavor began. For some it was a race, for others it was I was a test of endurance. The people of New York City really shine for this event. my hand cheered on by people of all nationalities, encouraged by children wanting to slap An Irish runner commented on my wing tipped hat and told me to have as I passed. Towards the end, the FRNY water stop at mile 24 provided a desperately needed courage. Knowing you have this kind of support far exceeds the benefits of any amount of boost. And, finally, almost four hours after it started, it ended. They handed carbohydrates! me a medal, wrapped me in Mylar, made me walk a quarter mile, and then finally let me limp home, sore, tired, but extremely content. To all the other Front Runners in the tent that morning, a special thank you for making the wait a happy one. And to those who dished out the water at mile 24, a big thank you also. Events like this remind you how wonderful it is to have a group like this behind you. Tom Giles BENEFIT RUN. Money has been rolling in as a result of the Benefit Run held in October. in, we have raised a total of approximately $4000. So far, with about 57% of the pledges My sincer.est thanks go out to those individuals who have returned their pledges and sponsor sheets, and to those who have not, I urge you to do so as soon as possible. Sponsor sheets and checks (payable to the organizations, not FRNY) should be mailed to We will accept money the club address or given to Nan Bailey or Richard Walker. Once indefinitely, but we would like to forward the money in full as soon as we can. again thank you all for running, and thanks to the sponsors for pledging. Prizes will be awarded at the December Annual meeting, so be there! Firth Whitehouse HALLOWEEN PARTY. With overtones of a church supper, junior high mixer, and Mardi Gras, the Halloween/Anniversary/Carbo Loading Party might easily have fallen prey to festal But to the 150-odd Front Runners from New York, Philadelphia, and points schizophrenia. west, our party was a perfect continuation of the ghoulish festivities in the streets that night. Not all the partiers dressed up, but those who did were wittily turned out in such conceits as a bunch of grapes, a fleet of taxis, and a single order of salmon roe sushi. FR appetites made short work of the groaning board which ran down one side of the room, lined with dozens of types of bread, pasta salads, hot casseroles, chips and dips, pies, cakes, and cookies. This writer's award for most creative interpretation of the (Am I food theme must go to Joe Criscione's sweet potato and marshmallow casserole. nuts, or are these the "starches" mom used to warn about?) Shortly after dinner, all eyes were drawn to the front door by the dramatic entrance of the "Runnettes," a "girl" group perfect down to their beehive hairdos and starlet sunglasses, who lip-synched several hits from our youth. A "satyr"-ical Howard Kessler, complete with hooves and Pan pipe, mc'd the annual green teapot award for best costume, awarded by popular acclaim to those same Runnettes. Richard Walker, in a stunningly soignee black ensemble, discussed the anniversary of Front Runners, and pointed out many original members at the party. Soon afterwards, the party broke up, with most of us -- jaded New Yorkers and first-time visitors alike -- lingering a while in the Village to enjoy again the larger party which was the City that night. Harold Levine ONLY IN NEW YORK. Here we go again. The Midnight Run through Central Park, sponsored by Road Runners, is an annual New Year's Eve event. Don't expect a PR, but if you have a need to run through Central Park as Emmett Kelly or Lady Di or maybe as yourself (kinky), get an application at the International Running Center on E. 89th St. near 5th. There is 6 �a party for runners at Steve and Bob's at 52 W. 85th St., starting at 10:30pm. Bring a potluck dessert.

Please RSVP to me at (212) 873-0517 Howard Kessler IT'S PARTY TIME. Our annual holiday get-together has been set for December 13th. This year's party will be held at the disco Tracks, 531 W. 18th St. It will be from 8pm to 10pm, but once you're in, you're in. We will also be the hosts to members of the Philadelphia FR club. Naturally, the regulars will be there. Now, as for our inactive club members who have been looking for the excuse to be involved with a bunch of genuinely nice people, remember, it's your party, too. Howard Kessler LES MISERABLES. The London smash hit Les Miserables is coming to New York in the spring. And FRs and friends are going -- and benefitting Senior Action in a Gay Environment (SAGE) at the same time. On Tuesday, Apr. 28, 1987, SAGE has reserved 600 of the best seats at the Broadway Theater. FRNY has reserved (and paid for) a block of 40 of those tickets. Tickets are $60 (that's only $15 over regular price). And as is our usual policy: first check, first reserved. As of November 18, eleven of the 40 have already been sold. Don't wait; get your check in now. Besides, the club has already put out $2400 to front you! Questions? Contact me at (212) 724-9700.

Shasta. A great, big thank-you to everyone for your tremendous show of support for AREA in this year's Benefit Run. This past weekend we lost one of our greatest leaders in the fight against AIDS, David Summers. We honored David last year at the AREA benefit. He gave us so much hope and he will be sorely missed. This weekend we will attend the San Francisco FR's Annual Dinner. I hope that all of your holidays are bright and joyful. I miss you all very much. Brent N. Earle FAMILY SUPPORT GROUP. About 15 Front Runners gathered at Joel Ifcher's on November 19th, to hear Ron Petersen of Home Care America speak about the AIDS crisis. Ron had previously worked for San Francisco General Hospital, and has done extensive counselling with patients and their families and friends. He described the current treatment trends surrounding the disease, and the programs available to assist AIDS patients in the New York area. The group found the meeting very worthwhile, and decided to hold another meeting on Tuesday, December 9th, at 8pm, at Lenore Beaky's, 302 West 87th, #96. A representative of the PWA Coalition will speak, and we'll discuss how we, as a group, can help those who are not running because of illness.
