We staffed nearly the entire fmish line, and NYRRC's Rita Duffy made a point of thanking us for being there. Working the fmish line fm" that race I was reminded once again why I run. While I enjoyed being up close to see the top fmishers, it was everyone else that I really enjoyed seeing. The looks on the faces of the women as they crossed the fmish line at I: 15, 1:30 was really something to see. They were so happy and proud of their accomplishment... as well they should have been. All of us, no matter what our race times are, or even if we don't race, can be proud that we're out there running. Registration materials for the International Eront Runners Invitational, (you're all invited) to be held the weekend of October 11-14 in Toronto, are now available on Saturday morning at the club. They've got a lot of fun events planned, including 10K and 5K races, a 5K walk, and a 25K (5x5K) team challenge relay, an arrival party, a Saturday night banquet and a Sunday brunch and awards ceremony. The total price for everything comes out to $127 Canadian. With the favorable exchange rate, though, it's a whole lot less in U.S. dollars. I know October sounds a long way away, but if you want hosted housing, the earlier you get your application .in the better. If you just can't make it on Saturdays and want to register, give me a call. If you ask nicely, I just might send you the packet in the mail. Question of the week: When someone writes a check on June 4 and mails it with A NEWSLETTER STAFF Editor & Calendar Proofreader Mailing Donn Peppler George Schlein John Whooley We must conclude that Amendment 2 classifies homosexuals, not to further a proper legislative end, but to make them unequal to everyone.

As you know, putting on the Lesbian & Gay Pride Run is an expensive proposition, and we couldn't do it without the support of our sponsors, so let's support them. Eat in their restaurants, shop in their stores, buy their products, use their services...and thank them for their support! It'll mean a lot when we ask them for their support in the future. Our sponsors are: American Express Financial Advisors, Naya Water, American Airlines, Chase Manhattan Bank, Mary Ann's, H/X Magazine, Universal GrilllMary's, Mingala West, Nike, Urban Athletics, Claire's, The Gap, Raymond Dragon Boutique, Rubyfruit Bar and Grill, Strand's Salon, and Super Rurmer's Shop. How about a week in Vermont? Stop for a moment and think about NYC in July: 90 0 temperatures with 90% humidity... Okay, now think of bolting out of the city and heading for the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. Cool! (well, yes, literally...) If you've been attending' our. workouts (or reading them ...) then you know we believe strongly in cross-training. Craftsbury is the ultimate training environment. Take advantage of the soft running trails, bike paths and two-milelong Lake Hosmer for swimming and deep water running. Or take the opportunity to lay by the lake and catch some R&R while you watch Adonis-like bodies work their butts om There's something for everyone who comes to Craftsbury. Did I mention the food? Veggies grown in their gardens and breads baked fresh. Some people come just for the food! I'm the head coach and director, which means I get to play up there all summer. Coach Jeffjoins me for Multi-Sport Week, from July 7-13. This week ends with a Saturday swim/mountain bike/trail run triathlon, sponsored by the camp, or a Sunday stop at the NETS-sponsored race in Fairlee (voted by Triathlete Magazine as one of the top ten most beautiful races). Brochures are available at all club meetings as well as Thursday night workouts. Need a commercial? Just ask Edna Benitez, Tony Meola, Beth Collins or John Whooley. Weekly programs run from July 7th to August 10th. Finalizing vacation plans? Mark those calendars and reserve those dates!

At some point he said, "So you're pretty active politically." This took me aback a bit, as I've never considered myselfa pgUtical person, so I asked him what he meant. "Well, you're a member of Front Runners, a gay athletic club, and you run with the club's name on your singlet. That's political." I had never thought of it that way, but he was right. Ever since then, whenever I've identified myself as a Front Runner, whether by wearing our gear at a race, meeting people at a Center orientation, or registering for a race as a club member, I can't suppress a little thrill of pride that I, in my "nonpolitical" way, am making a statement ---' about gay visibility and pride.

The board would like to thank the LGPR's corporate fund-raising volunteers Mike McMahon, Craig Booth, Dan Armstrong, Jim Connolly, Jim Brandon, Glenn Finn, Tom Malcolm, Bob Nelson, George Mayer and Mike Mahon. They are working to secure a corporate sponsor for the race - a difficult task, given cut-backs in contributions by most major corporations - and have contacted more that fifty potential sponsors. A motion was passed to raise the admission fees for the LGPR to Sll, $13 and $15. John Spooner distributed a memo from Ken Majerus requesting funds to replace the race-ready singlets, which have completely sold out. The new singlets will have black lettering instead of purple and will sport the FRNY logo on the back, as well as the front, slightly raising their cost. A motion was passed to provide $1200 to buy them. They will sell for S20.00 Harold Brueland has invited over thirty local clubs to join us in leading the AIDS walk.

It winds 42 ;i1es through all five boroughs, spending about as much time in the Bronx as the marathon does, and heading over the Verrazano Narrows too, only in the opposite direction. Just like the marathon, they also need volunteers to staff water and food stops. Mark DeRose would appreciate any helping hands.

Joint activities and get-togethers seem to be the trend just about everywhere. California, which is home to more Front Runner clubs than any other state or province, seems to be really getting into the spirit. EastBay was taking a joint ski trip with Different Spokes (presumably a GIL biking club) and the San Francisco club and, reportedly, planning to share condo space with those San Francisco babes. On that topic, let me quote from San Francisco's advice column (written by Kate Moss as told to Heather Locklear): "the sleeping arrangements on these trips are pretty loose and unlikely couples always seem to disappear together or at least end up snuggling by the fire." On more runnerish pursuits, San Francisco reports on the "Homo Depot Half Marathon" they ran along with a number of BayLands Front Runners, as well as the Valentine's Lake Merritt Run, after which they joined fellow EastBay runners for brunch. The event was such a success that they plan to try staging more events with local Front Runner groups. San Diego reports on increased efforts to bring more interaction between the San Diego, Los Angeles, and Shoreline groups. Of the seven California clubs I've seen newsletters from, that leaves only Sacramento out of the picture - and I haven't heard from them in a while, so maybe they're hibernating? Back on the East Coast, Floridians are becoming a bit more clubby. Tampa Bay reports that Orlando planned to join them for the Gasparilia Distance Classic in late February. Meanwhile Ft. Lauderdale was cheering the world to come south for the annual Seven Mile Bridge Run, and Toronto planned to join Buffalo for their sixth annual banquet. Somewhat closer to home, Two Rivers (Albany) plans to come to NYC for a weekend excursion in late April, and is looking for interested parties to ride the five borough bike ride and start planning for the Boston to Provincetown ride. Unfortunately, seems like they're comfortable enough with NYC that they don't feel the need to hook up with our club for any activities. Oh well, not to fret: we get kudos from a BayLands member who enjoyed his new year's run with us, and encourages future visitors to be sure to hook up with us. Probably the biggest interclub topic on everyone's mind is the October International Front Runner Invitational in Toronto. Clubs looking forward to sending members for the weekend of fun and running in Toronto include Chicago, Sydney, and Orlando. Philadelphia mentions that the event has been officially recognized by the mayor's office of Toronto. And Toronto itself announces a web site for updates (http://www.inforamp.netJ-walkerd), as well as the receipt of seed money from Orlando, Ba,yLands, Atlanta and New York. This weekend takes place October 11-14, and the preliminary schedule shows various runs and races, as well as city tours, organized cocktails and dinner events, as well as other possible excursions. They're really putting a lot of effort into organizing a fun and interesting weekend, and Toronto's not so far away. So think about going!

San Diego is celebrating their fifteenth anniversary with plans for various festivities and a new logo design, and Tampa Bay announces their first annual (? -- sic) 5K Pride RunlWalk, in March. On the dishier end ofthe spectrum, Ft. Lauderdale and Omaha amuse us with their ongoing scuffle. Omaha apparently did produce the newsletters as promised, but had been slower in producing the promised avalanche of T-shirts and postcards. However, the latest issue of Ft. Lauderdale's newsletter does include a reproduction of a postcard from Omaha, along with a report of one T-shi.i1 arriving. I have to wonder whether Ft. Lauderdale wasn't hoping for more interesting clothing items... .I must also report several beefs of my own. Like, for one thing, Ft. Lauderdale's newsletter is, like, eight pages long, right? And like, how many pages does their gossip columnist get to report on interclub news? Like, three pages with pictures. I mean, they even name one issue "The Omaha Issue." Now, I know this is New York and we have more significant things to report, but really - Donn, can't I have more than a measly half page at least every now and then? (Do I hear snores from the gallery?!) Ft. Lauderdale also applauds my earlier whining about not seeing Buffalo's nude issue (still haven't seen it, any club out there that's actually reading this, hint, hint), but I have yet to see results from my whining. So I'll whine again: where are you, Buffalo? And let me add Miami to my b-list: San Diego tells me you have a wonderful orange-colored newsletter (cute, last year) - care to share it with your buddies in New York? And to Ft. Lauderdale: let's get together on our b-lists. Maybe working together we can have more impact.

I want all club members to know that our presence at that race was especially appreciated by Road Runners. Apparently, unknown to us , a fewer number of volunteers were registered for the Bagel Run than in previous years. Every person who helped at that race was important, every person counted, and Donn and I received a special heartfelt thank-you call from Rita Duffy, the Road Runners coordinator of volunteers. Thanks also to Robin Pomerance who volunteered at the Rites of Spring 10K. The Volunteer Race of the Month for April is the Nike Run for the Parks on April 6th, a Saturday. We will meet at 9:00 a.m. at Tavern on the Green. This is a 4-miler so you can expect to be back at Rutgers, Evian bottle in hand, just as the crowd gets there - 11 :30 a.m. Don't forget, every race we volunteer builds bridges from our club to the wider running community. Volunteering is cool. '1!:~ tJat6uu4~ Deep Water Running Deep water running is a form of cross training that can increase your endurance and strength. Participants use a flotation belt to keep their head above water while running in - you guessed it - deep water. Doug Stem, who organizes this activity, claims that it helps runners prevent injuries and continue to exercise when they are injured. Front Runners have been offered a special discount offer on the initial session. If ten people sign up to do a 7:20 p.m. session at John Jay College, the price per person is $5.00. This is a one-time-only offer. This single session is normally $ I5.00. A series of seven sessions is $80.00 If you are interested in participating, please call Jim Brandon at (212) 279-3520 Page 5 April 1996 I FRNY Ski Trip Our annual ski weekend was March 1-3, a week later than usual, which proved fortuitous. I had never been on skis before, and was looking forward to trying a new sport, as well as being with my friends. We were slightly worried while driving up to Vermont, as we did not see any snow on the ground. The previous week had been ~a:m and rainy. However, shortly after arnvmg at our condo at Mt. Snow, it began to snow. It was a much smaller group this year, only twelve, but that did not diminish the fun we had. On Saturday morning, the downhillers only had to step out the door to the slopes, while Ed Pyle tutored Jim Gibb and me in the basics of cross country. Afterward, some of us took in a swim and stearn, while others went to the local hangout, the Snow Bam. Saturday night we gathered in one condo for a fabulous meal and engaging conversation. Thanks go to Jerry Smith, who rearranged some furniture between condos, so we were all able to sit around the table together. We tried to entertain Sara Jane Cuttita-Westerback, but videos won out. Amy Risch and Nancy Andrews were there, having returned from Sri Lanka. Sunday was even more pleasurable. It had snowed most of the night and was continuing, off and on. We novices were eager to try out what we had learned; The extra snow made falling easier, at least for me. Some tried Haystack, a smaller downhill slope nearby. When our weekend fmally came to an end, we got back on the road, very tired, but grateful for a wonderful experience. Thanks go to Paul Brockmann and Seth Slade for organizing the trip. Thanks also to Ed Pyle for being condo mom and ski instructor extrordinaire. Also thanks to the drivers and cooks. I plan on going next year, and you should too. ei.tvdu '/,()~ ~Atf £AVTAI~§· ~fV()VT I Boy, Howdy! It looks like we're getting into the swing ofthings. With the exception of the underwhelming turnout of men for the Snowflake 4-Miler (a points race, might we add), we've been seeing quite a few Front Runner faces at the races. Yes, the women did outnumber the men 15 to 2 at that race, but then hordes of men turned out to run and volunteer for tbe Bagel Run tlote following week. What do we have to do to get the men to the points races? Give out smoked fish and onions? Well, the April points race for men - and women - is the Queens 112 Marathon on the 24th. I don't know about the fish, but it's a pretty flat course and springtime in Queens is something you just don't want to miss. We want to wish our twenty-plus Boston Marathon runners good luck from Front Runners New York! We'll all send you positive thoughts on the 15th!

Thoughts of spring bring thoughts of Spring Fling, D.C. Front Runners' annual weekend of fun, socializing and -oh, yes- a race. This year, the weekend is April 26-28. We'll be leaving here Friday evening, arriving in D.C. around 1l:00, when we'll be met by our hosts and whisked off to their cosy homes. There's a fun run on the Mall on Saturday morning, followed by lunch at the nearby Post Office Pavilion. Then there's a women-only event in the early afternoon... guys are on their own. In the evening there's a banquet, dancing and a talent show (we're invited to participate!). On Sunday morning is the Sallie Mae 10K (no, you don't have to do the race to be allowed to come along), followed by brunch at a Dupont Circle (i.e. gay?) restaurant. The D.C. Front Runners always put on a great weekend, so mark your calendars. Just call the man who has volunteered to coordinate things on our end, Glen Holman. Glen will be booking the bus, taking reservations, arranging for hosted housing (although DCFR has arranged special rates at a local hotel, if that's what you want), collecting money and generally making the whole thing happen. Thanks, Glen, for volunteering. (His number's in the directory). Speaking of volunteering, (and when don't I?) we could use some more people for the Gay Pride Task Force. What we most need right now is someone to handle fundraising on the local level. Mike McMahon and George Mayer are doing an awesome job of hitting up big corporations, but we need someone to contact local people.

I'd also like to ~ add my voice to Beth's, urging women to come back on Saturday mornings. Several women were among the people who made me feel most welcome when I first joined the club. I'll never forget Mickey Zacuto ~ scaring the hell out of me by walking over one day and loudly announcing, "You're wearing my shorts!" And Doris Stoll made a point of running with me a couple of 8. times when the guys were ignoring me (but I'm not bitter). Women have always been an important part of this club, and your absence is keenly felt. Pray for spring. Craig Booth reported a loss for January of $700 in general operating expenses. This is primarily due to low winter turnout at Rutgers. Membership stands at 441. The LGPR budget was passed unanimously. FRNY projects expenses of$17,348 and revenues of$19,980. Mike McMahon reported on corporate fund raising for LGPR. Naya has verbally agreed to provide water. Virgin Atlantic is on hold. Tony Meola has donated Broadway tickets and Tony Armas has promised accommodations at his San Juan hotel. There will be a Charitable foundation meeting at Peter Hoontis' home on February 22 at 7:30 p.m. A large turnout is expected for the Spring Fling in D.C. on April 26. This is open to everyone, including those who choose not to run the race. Jim Gibb and Lourdes Follins will be staffing the FRNY table at the Center orientation on March 9. Care to join them? $30 was approved for a 30-word description of FRNY in this years Pride Guide. Harold Brueland has volunteered to be point person for the AIDS Walle FRNY traditionally runs in front of the walk. Harold will be encouraging other groups to join us. Metrobeep would like us to list on their internet resource guide. Pending investigating, Jim Brandon will contact them to set it up. $500 was approved to restock FRNY clothing and the Clothing Committee was given authority to decide on how best to reduce excessive stock.
