participating. For more information or to express interest, contact Mark and
Kelsey directly by emailing markgilrain@gmail.com or klouie@harlemunited.org. Race Report
Front Runners New York descended on Boston this weekend in full force to support our
fellow Front Runners (and friends of Front Runners) running Boston this week. The show
of Force began on Sunday night with a 26-person team dinner organized by our very own
Mike Terry. Mike had the meal pre-ordered so the team was able to sit down to a full
dinner, get some pre-race strategy from Kelsey, and partake in the annual "10 M&M"
ritual for good luck--all before 9:00pm.Early Monday, "Cheer Force One" covered the 26.2
mile race course from Hopkinton to Boston to support Lavar Curley, Kelsey Louie, Bill
Warner (Jonathan’s dad), Jerry McDonnell, Kevin Masse, Patrick Doherty, Dave Lin,
Richard Ervais, Rachel Kliegman, Rachel Hitchcock, Audra Farrell, Paul Racine, Ruben
Coryat, and Janice Jabido.Crossing in first among the men, Lavar Curley worked the
tailwind finishing in 2:54:15. Next across the line was Bill Warner, Jonathan’s dad--and
�well supported by FRNY, in a lightning fast time of 2:55:40. We’re very happy to report
that Bill finished 4th in his age group--congrats to the Warner family. (Note to
Jonathan--we’re now expecting even bigger things from you!) Right behind him, looking
stunning with his perfect hair and his matching racing shorts and singlet, was Koach
Kelsey. Kelsey, in his first-ever Boston Marathon flew through the course in
2:57:41, securing a Boston qualifying time for next year. Also breaking the three hour
barrier was Jerry McDonnell dashing across the line in 2:59:31, and qualifying for 2012.
Not far behind, Dave Lin conquered the uphills and the downhills of Boston in 3:06:54,
setting a new PR and also qualifying for Boston!! How ’bout them apples?Just as Cheer
Force One was getting over the excitement from Wave 1, the Wave 2 runners started racing
by. Congrats to Richard Ervais for his 3:41:46 Boston performance. Richard would like to
thank Mike Terry for the carbo-crutial pasta dinner as well as the Boston Front Runners
for being great hosts all weekend long. Next up for the men, was Paul Racine. Although
he noted he was woefully under trained and that we should "leave the light on for him"
Paul crossed the line in a "not too shabby" 4:27:35. Rounding it in for the men, was
another Front Runner Dad, Ruben Coryat, a super vet at 72 years, crossing the line in
5:13. Congrats to the Coryat family of runners!Experienced Boston Marathon runner Audra
Farrell paced Rachel "Rock" Hitchcock in her first ever Boston Marathon through the
half-marathon mark. Rock crossed the line in 4:04:28. Not too far behind, was Rachel
"RayK" Kliegman, in her Boston debut. RayK traversed the course in 4:06:30. Janice,
although reportedly under trained and overworked, charged through the hills in an
impressive 4:38:50. Wicked pissah!Special thanks to Sandi Rowe, Leah Serinsky,
Katrina Amaro, Michelle Galindo & Aiden Jabido, Blossom Coryat, Jonathan Warner, Herbie
Medina, Michael Grubb, Todd Burke, AJ Stachelek, Benjamin Corbett, Marty Tracy, Cat
Wade, Josh Korth, Nolan, Mike Terry, Benjamin Corbitt, and Chris Stoia for making the
trip to Boston to support the team.Although Boston might have been the most talked about
event of the weekend, it was certainly not the only event with FRNY singlets. The 2011
London Marathon took place on Sunday, April 17th. Representing FRNY, Kieran O’Mahoney
ran the course in 3:13:23. Darin Soler flew through the streets of London in 3:25:39.
Ace!Representing FRNY in beautiful Madrid were Alex Kristofcak (3:37:12), Daniel
Guralnick (3:49:46) , and Manja Srinivasaiah (3:49:55). Cenk Bulbul was in town, too,
but was too tempted by the local sausage (the chorizo for breakfast was too much, he
said). Felicitaciones!!Brittany Freese and Ali Kliegman represented FRNY in the Glass
City Marathon and Half in Toledo, OH this past weekend. Brittany raced the half marathon
in 2:03:04 (PR). Ali "not the only sister running a marathon this weekend" Kliegman flew
through the course in a a smoking 4:08, achieving a full fifteen minute PR! Right
on!!Closer to home, Dave Pitches, Jesse Dean, and Rachel Cutler raced in the Brooklyn
Bun 20k bike/5k run. Dave Pitches (first in his age group) completed the race in
1:20:43. Jesse Dean (sixth in his age group) came in with a time of 1:21:41. Rachel
Cutler (second in her age group) flew through the course in 1:23:13. With all of the
marathons this weekend, it would have been easy to forget about the NYRR race in taking
place Central Park. A total of thirty nine Front Runners toed the line in the NYRR Run
for the Parks. Placing in the top five for the women were Michelle Comerford(39:19),
Sarah Jewell (37:37), Sharen Duke (32:28), Louisa Lun (35:50), and Sarah Wheeler
(33:27). This weekend, the depth of the men’s team really showed as the men placed 2nd
in the teams race! The top five male Frontrunners were David Caraway (23:53--8th in age
group), Michael Benjamin (25:37--6th in age group), Sean Gillick (24:19), Matthew
Anderson (24:05--5th in age group), and Michael White (22:47--5th in age group!). We’re
also excited to report Scott Emmons placed 4th in his age group with a time of 25:40 and
Ekong Ekong enjoyed a PR (30:36). High fives all around!Last weekend, Rich Ervais and
Zander Ross traveled to Paris for the 35th Paris Marathon. Racing together, they both
crossed the line in 4:19:47. F?licitations!! Photos this week feature:

minutes’ walk from the park. Meet at 7 PM at the 3rd Street and Prospect Park West
for our run through Prospect Park (about 3.4 miles). We have a reservation for
dinner after the run at the gay-owned and operated Bogota, 141 Fifth Avenue at St. Johns
Place. Email the Brooklyn crew with questions and to RSVP. FRNY Yoga: Starting
4/30/11
Front Runner Tony Majewski is offering restorative yoga classes at Rutgers (in the "Blue
Room") on Saturday mornings on April 30, May 7 and May 14 at 10 AM. Tony’s dialogue is
one that reaches out to people of all levels of practice and invites them to enjoy the
movement, stretching, and free-ness that yoga can bring to daily life. All body types
regardless of flexibility can enjoy and reap the benefits of yoga. RSVPs are not
required but are encouraged. Email Tony with questions and to let him know if you will
attend. Training Tip
Because the next out-of-town race is a trail run (North Face Endurance Challenge),
here’s a tip for trail running: when running on trails, keep your head up and scan the
terrain about 10 to 15 feet in front of you so you can plan your steps around rocks,
roots, branches, or dips. Try not to look down at your feet, so you can see what’s
coming. Keeping your head up will not only lead to a safer run, but also a more
efficient running form.
And don’t forget to email your Out of Town Race Coordinators to let them know if
you need transportation and what distance you’re
running.

Travel & Training
Mark Gilrain and Kelsey Louie are planning a 3-day weekend excursion to focus on
running, coaching, fitness, and fun over Memorial Day weekend on Long Island’s scenic
North Fork at the vacation home of the Gilrain-Lennons. There will be
running once or twice a day -- training hard on hills, track, and roads; or simply
enjoying jogging scenic byways. There will be time to spend the afternoon
shopping, splashing at the beach, visiting wineries, seeing the sights, or relaxing with
old friends and new. The expected contribution per person is $225 with 12 to 14
participating. For more information or to express interest, contact Mark and
Kelsey directly by emailing markgilrain@gmail.com or klouie@harlemunited.org. Race
Report In addition to a break in the cold, and the breaking open of buds, it was a big
week for breaking records for all the Front Runners out there. Congrats to all our
racers!
Here are just some of the highlights: the 10K Scotland Run was held on Sunday, April 10
in Central Park under a sunny sky, with a temperature of 52 degrees. In addition to 114
FRNY finishers and many PRs, the club fielded a team and scored in the Women Super
Vets (60+) division -- an achievement that has only happened once before, according to
scorer Lenore Beaky.
For the men’s team, Thomas Hammer placed first, with a time of 35:15, followed by
Chris Fisher (35:24), Kelly Swaim (36:58), Gabe Benroth (37:10), and Steven Vizena
(37:44). Other notables among the men was Patrick Guilfoyle who placed 9th in his age
group with 38:18, and Dave Pitches who placed 4th in his age group with 45:29.
The ladies rocked out PRs like it was going out of style. Hilary Lorenz placed
�first among FRNY women with an impressive 47:02 and 12th in her age group followed
by Jillian Ternosky (48:01), Alison McKenna (48:27), and Michele Mazzara (49:02), and
Stephanie Cunnane rounded out the top five with a 51:12 finishing time. Other notables
included the afore-mentioned Women’s Super Vets team: Inger Berger (1:14:04), Lenore
Beaky (1:17:54) and Lorraine Braun (1:33:47). Beth Strickland improved her 10K time by
over two minutes with 1:15:09, and Ruth Gursky had her best 10K time since 2003
finishing at 1:22:37. She was accompanied for part of the race by her friend and new
FRNY member Lourdes Blanco (1:21:18). Elke Gasselseder also reported a PR of 51:30,
besting her previous PR by 4:25. Congrats!
Meanwhile on the other side of NYC at the airport, the JFK Runway 5K was taking place
(one of those NYC secrets). Five of the top 14 overall finishers were Front
Runners. Among those top finishers were Michael White with a time of 16:53 and 3rd
place overall. Michael Sanderson placed 1st for his age group, with an impressive time
of 18:14; he was followed by Steven Waldon (2nd in his age group) with 18:20; Ned
Russell ran 18:53 with a 6:05 (a PR!); Benjamin Corbett ran an awesome 19:08; and Bernd
Erpenbeck ran 21:29 with a 6:55 pace placing him 2nd in his age group. Flying indeed!
Representing FRNY out on the road, Mark Gilrain and Rob Lennon participated in the
Carrie Shoemaker 5K on Duke University’s Al Buehler Cross Country trail in Durham, NC.
They came in a respectable 9th and 10th place overall.
Jeff Schrager ran where mastodons once roamed in the Diamond Valley Lake Half Marathon
in Hemet, CA. His time of 1:45:24 was a PR by almost 4 minutes.
The 2011 FRNY Outdoor Carpet Munchers, which included Front Runners Bernie Janelle,
Cindy Hearing, Martha Dao, Jess King, Meggie Hatlen, Cat Wade, Sharon Abbott, and -starting off the tradition of fielding a co-ed team for this event -- the brave,
strong, sweet, and gentle snoring gentleman, Jeff Werner, kicked ass in the Tough Mudder
- Pennsylvania edition. Sharon reports, "we were on the course for 5.5 hours with
minimal food or water. One of the first event involved running down a mountain
past a snow blowing machine, so we were wet and cold 5 minutes into the race. We
would later jump into a freezing lake from a 15 foot scaffold, scale a series of walls
-- twice! -- eat a habernaro pepper, wade through wet mud many many times, run 3.5 miles
of technically challenging single-track terrain, carry a log up the mountain, crawl
across a series of ropes, crawl across some scaffolding over a freezing lake, crawl
across a snow cover ski slope, and, I kid you not, run through a field of live wires."
We’re glad you all made it home safe!
FRNY fan Phoebe Hanshew completed a 30-hour multi-sport endurance challenge on April 5
and 6 which included a strenuous 2.5-hour leg in the birth pool. Crossing the finish
line at 12:35 AM, Phoebe took first place in the competition and, with partner and
athletic supporter Linda Paparella, received a stunning 7 lb. 2 oz. baby girl named Sula
Marie Fox. The entire event took place in their home in Washington Heights. As
Phoebe’s personal coach Linda ensured that she was well hydrated and fed along the
route, and also provided physical and emotional support throughout the challenge. Photos
this week feature: one of the Women’s Super Vets, Lori Braun at the Scotland 10K
(by Ted Paszek); Phoebe, Linda and Sula, all looking fairly recovered from the 30-hour
multisport endurance challenge. In This Issue Ad Hoc Board Meeting: 4/25/11Outdoor

complete rules). Prize includes one entry into the marathon for the winner, plus airfare

Training Tip
The most efficient race is when you can run even splits the entire race. Try
it! Take your splits during a race and make adjustments in your next race.
For some of you, this might mean slowing down a little in the beginning of the
race. Sometimes you need to go slow to go fast(er). For others, it might
mean starting out a little faster. A track race is also a good way to measure your
progress during a race. For those of you who do not work out on a track yet, this
is one of the many benefits of training on a track! Try to approach your next race
with this in mind.
FRNY Multisport Women in the Water! Koach Kent is organizing two special swim
workouts especially for the FRNY women this month! These women-only workouts will
take place on Thursdays, April 21 and 28 at the LIC YMCA from 8 to 9 PM. All FRNY

with your amazing performances.

With such an incredible turnout it looks like next year we’ll have to move to the big
auditorium at The LGBT Center! Race Report Spring is in the air! Well, that is if
you consider 43 deg. weather to be spring-like weather... it didn’t matter to the
nearly 7,500 finishers of the More/Fitness Half-Marathon on Sunday who happily took to
the annual all-women’s event. Nine wonderwomen of Front Runners toed the line, led
by Sarah Wheeler (2:01:03), Louisa Lun (2:10:17), Brittany Freese (2:12:01), Maria
Cummings (2:24:02), and Laura Giambrone (2:34:17). Sarah Garrison, Nancy Donohue, Jane
Bedell and Inger-Jo Berger also came out to play and represented us well! Way to
go ladies!
In other racing news, Ruth "Half-Marathon" Gursky brought home some pictures of the
unisphere and some major spinning bling from the 13.1 New York race in Flushing Meadows.
It wasn’t a PR for Ms. Gursky, who’s admittedly "tired" from all her recent
racing, but she saw the sights of the world’s fair grounds, and ran into an old
elementary school friend of hers who kept her company for a while before Ruth took off
for the finish line. Congrats, Ruth!
If you were in Washington, DC, you’d certainly know it was spring-time by the blossoming
cherry trees. And you’d know it if you were Josh Korth (57:49, 14th age, 5:47
pace), Benjamin Corbett (1:07:04, 6:44 pace ) or Sam LaFata (1:55:02, 16th age) who all
raced the Cherry Blossom 10-miler ("The Runner’s Rite of Spring") this past weekend.
(Sam also finished last week’s 15K 7th in his age group!!!) Awesome running,
as always, gentlemen!
Eight Front Runners also participated in the Van Cortlandt Track Club Urban
Environmental Challenge on Sunday. Way to take the challenge, Tim Guscott, Michael
Schmeltz, Bernd Erpenbeck, Jeff Schrager, Jill Crouther, John Boggess, Stacy Cooper, and
Nikki Stevens. We’d all love to hear about some of the challenges you faced!
Finally (and this is only last because this reporter is insanely jealous of the fabulous
Hawaiian vacation taken in conjunction with this race result), Rosario Gennaro "capped a
fantastic vacation in Hawaii with the Ford Island Bridge Run a scenic 10K along the
historic Pearl Harbor Navy Base. Rosario ran a 47:02, good enough for 19th in his age
group." Aloha, Rosario!
The FRNY Track Meet results have been published on our web site, and the 2011 points
spreadsheet is also available. Don’t forget to send your PRs and personal racing
stories to our Race Captains! Photos this week feature: Front Runners posing in the pool
at the Freestyle stroke clinic (photo by Kent); Koaches Kent and Kelsey hosting the
Variety Show; Gregg singing Hallelujah; Martha, Aneesh and Gemma having Bollywood fun

a lower loop this Satuday, please email beginners@frny.org.
Training Tip
Think about turnover. It’s a good measure of how you are doing. When you are
working out, think about turning your legs over faster. When you are in a longer
race, think about keeping your turnover at a smooth and constant rate. When you
are getting tired and your legs feel heavy, think about increasing the tempo of your
turnover. When you are running uphill, shorten your stride and pick up your
turnover rate. When you increase your turnover rate, your arms will follow naturally.
FRNY Multisport Final 2-Hour Spin. Our last 2-hour spin of the season is
this Sunday, April 3rd from 5 to 7 PM at the LIC YMCA. Although the class is
currently full, let us know if you would like to be added to the waiting list.
We’re Headed Outside in April! As the weather warms, Dan Gallagher will begin leading
weekday morning rides in Central Park. Every Sunday, we’ll embark on longer rides
that take us outside of Manhattan. More details to come through our weekly
multisport listserv. Email Mike and Rachel and let them know that you are
interested in cycling with FRNY this summer!
See the FRNY calendar for details on our regular swimming and cycling workouts.
FRNY Long Run Group
This week’s long run will be our last scheduled 20 miler of the season and will take us
through the roads less traveled -- Queens! The run will take place Saturday at 8
AM and will start from the home of Lori Braun in Jackson Heights. It’s just a hop,
skip and a jump from the 7 train - then a 20 mile circle route. Please stay tuned
to the long run email group for details and possible changes. For questions, please
email us at longruns@frny.org. Memorial Day Long Weekend Travel & Training
Mark Gilrain and Kelsey Louie are planning a 3-day weekend excursion to focus on
running, coaching, fitness, and fun over Memorial Day weekend. The location
will be Long Island’s scenic North Fork at the vacation home of the
Gilrain-Lennons. There will be running once or twice a day -- training hard
on hills, track, and roads; or simply enjoying jogging scenic byways. There will
be time to spend the afternoon shopping, splashing at the beach, visiting wineries,
seeing the sights, or just relaxing with old friends and new. The expected
contribution per person is $225 with 12 to 14 participating. For more
information or to express interest, contact Mark and Kelsey directly by emailing
markgilrain@gmail.com or klouie@harlemunited.org. FRNY Out of Town Race Congratulations
to the 37 Front Runners who participated in the Wurtsboro 30K this past Saturday!
Despite a flat tire on the drive up, the team brought home 12 medals. Well done!
Escape from Central Park and hit the trails in the North Face Endurance Challenge, the
club’s second quarter out of town race, on Sunday, May 8. This challenging
trail run offers 5K, 10K, and half-marathon options of tough terrain and hills. Prices
increase on April 8, and each race is capped, so sign up now. The 10K race is already
sold out, but you can sign up for their waiting list. Email your out of town race
coordinators what distance you’re running and if you’ll need transportation.
Race Report
In the span of two days, 75 different Front Runners competed in three different races
ranging from 4 miles to 30K.Beginning Saturday morning, 37 runners made their way to the
sleepy village of Wurtsboro (pop. 1,234) for the first official Out-of-Town race of
2011: the 9th Annual Wurtsboro Mountain 30K Run. The Wurtsboro 30K is notable for
its start -- a 4.5-mile ascent of approximately 1,000 feet. Individual runners and three
relay teams toughed the long and difficult course, and ended up coming home with some
pretty impressive hardware. A total of 12 different trophies and medals were taken home
by FRNY!Leading the individual men were Jonathan Warner (2:04, 3rd overall), Michael
Sanderson (2:06, 5th overall, 1st in AG), Steven Waldon (2:15, 2nd in AG), Dave Lin
(2:15, 3rd in AG) and Mike Terry (2:23, 3rd in AG). The king of Age Group awards, Dave
Pitches didn’t disappoint, with a 2:47:51 (2nd in AG).Representing the women, Rachel
Kliegman led with a 2:33, followed by Sandi Rowe (3:00), Alison Kliegman (3:01, 3rd in
AG), Cindy Hearing (3:04), and Bernie Janelle (3:04, 3rd in AG).With three relay teams
entered in the event (two female, one male), FRNY took both the men’s and women’s
relays. Taking the women’s relay division, Megan Jenkins, Elke Gasselseder, and Blossom
Coryat came in with a 2:38. The men’s team of Kevin Beganics, Marty McElhiney and Dave
Caraway came in at 2:15 and were the first relay overall. The women’s relay of Martha
Dao, Ruth Gursky and AJ Stachelek took the bronze.A special nod of recognition goes to
the troubled van of Ned Russell, Mike White, Chris Stoia, Manja Srinivasaiah, Jim
McCarrick, and Dave Caraway. Despite a blown tire and a stubborn lug nut, they found a
�way to make it to the starting line and finished the race despite being an hour
late.Sunday’s NYRR races began with the Colon Cancer Challenge 4-miler. The top 5 women
were Hilary Lorenz (30:25, 5th AG), Michele Mazzara (31:58, 7th AG), AJ Stachelek
(34:22, PR - and who had done the Wurtsboro relay the previous day), Sarah Jewell
(34:22), and Alison Casillo (36:09). In an impressive club showing, the FRNY women took
1st place among all the clubs, beating out the nearest club by a full 7 minutes.
Congratulations on the strong showing! Gemma Sanz de la Serna (37:34) snatched
herself a nifty new PR.No less impressive were the men, led by David Miller (26:41, 10th
AG), Dave Caraway (26:54, 5th AG), Douglas Larsen (27:54, 5th AG), Warren Ng (28:26),
and Ivan Dimov (30:20) - good for a 3rd place team showing! Taking place immediately
after the 4-Miler, the Colon Cancer Challenge15K was host to a number of impressive
Front Runner finishes. Kelly Swaim (57:11, 1st AG!), Kevin Masse (58:36, 4th AG),
Patrick Guilfoyle (59:56, 2nd AG), Damian Hartner (1:00:49, 5th AG), and Charlie
Herschel (1:03:36) placed for the men, while Brittney Freese (1:29:34) and Stacy Cooper
(2:03:54) represented the women. Mark Mascolini placed 5th in his age group.Liam
O’Rourke would go on to record a 3-minute PR of 1:22:45 in honor of his mother, and
Jeffrey Schrager also reported a PR (1:19:30). In events outside of New York, Paul
Grillot completed his first (USATF-Certified) Marathon at the National Marathon in DC,
with a very strong 3:15:04. Alison McKenna ran a 4:14:43 on the "fairly hilly"
course and struggled toward the end but was aided by a much-needed friend during the
closing miles of the race.World-travelling marathoners Zander Ross and Rich Ervais were
at it again, this time tackling the inaugural Jerusalem Marathon on march 25th. The
scenic but hilly race was run in 4:40:33 (Zander) and 4:20:48 (Rich).The FRNY Track Meet
results have been published on our web site, and the 2011 points spreadsheet is also
available. Don’t forget to send your PRs and personal racing stories to our Race
Captains! Photos this week feature: Michele Mazzara at the Colon Cancer 4-miler

Please give your body a rest after a weekend of hard racing. Your body will need
to repair and recover after a weekend of tough running. Now is the perfect time to
either cut back your mileage or your intensity for a week so.
FRNY Multisport Last 2-Hour Spin! Join us on Sunday, April 3rd from 5 to 7
PM for our last 2-hour indoor spin class of the season. (We’re taking our cycling
workouts outside now that the weather is warming up!) Although the class is

added to the waiting list.

organized run this weekend due to the races, but for those looking to get in a long run
you can always show up to Rutgers on Saturday after 9 AM if you need a bag drop and run
two loops of the park, meeting up with the fun runners for the second loop. We

Report
On Friday night, Front Runner speedsters and our colleagues from track teams from around
the metro area hit the Armory for the Annual FRNY Track Meet. Koach Kelsey reports a
record number of Front Runners in attendance, as well as more FRNY women than ever
before! With 245 registrants, we also had more entrants than we have ever had in
the past. Many thanks to meet organizers Kelsey and Derek Petti, as well as the many
volunteers who helped manage our largest track meet yet. Stayed tuned for next
week’s Gram when a more complete report of accomplishments will be posted.
On Sunday, the distance runners took to the roads. Thirty-four Front Runners finished
the New York City Half Marathon. Finishing in the top five for the men were Josh Korth
(1:15:09), Chris Fischer (1:16:32), Gabe Benroth (1:17:43), Kelsey Louie (1:17:59), and
Kelly Swaim (1:20:35). The depth of the men’s team showed through as the first ten
finishers all recorded age graded at the 70% or above. Chris Stoia ran an
exceptionally strong race, placing sixth in his age group and breaking into the 80% AG
club. Well done Chris! Not to be outdone, Dave Pitches placed third in his age group
with a lightning fast 1:38:52. Mark Mascolini earned a guaranteed entry to the NYC
Marathon performance with a time of 1:46:36. Daniel Blausey had the luck of the Irish on
his side in the Shamrock Half and placed 7th in his age and recorded a new PR of
1:26:59. Racing for the women, Ali Kliegman, in a breakthrough race, was the first
female Front Runner across the line with a time (and a new PR) of 1:53:47.Chasing Ali
down were Blossom Coryat (who also raced hard just two days earlier on the track -2:06:17), Laura Giambrone (2:24:24), Beth Strickland (2:40:23 -- PR!), Stacey Cooper
(2:56:39), and Ruth Gursky (3:11:42). Congrats to all! The Scotland 10K on
April 10 -- a club points race -- is nearing capacity. Register now! Photos

case.

This weekend, we urge our long runners to race or support! Sunday is both the NYC
Half Marathon and a special fundraising Run for Japan in Central Park presented by NY
Hokkaido Running Club. The NYC Half begins at 7:30a and the Run for Japan begins
at 8:30. So if you are not signed up for the half, we recommend running
counter-clockwise in the park at 7:30a (the opposite direction of the race) to cheer on
our runners, making sure to end up at 72th and 5th Ave by 8:30a where the Run for Japan
�starts and you can continue your run. No registration is necessary for the Japan run,
and they request a $1 donation towards tsunami relief. For questions, please email us at
longruns@frny.org. FRNY Out of Town Race Escape from Central Park and hit
the trails in the North Face Endurance Challenge, the club’s second quarter out of town
race, on Sunday, May 8. This challenging trail run offers 5K, 10K, and
half-marathon options of tough terrain and hills. Prices increase on April 8, and each
race is capped, so sign up now before your preferred distance sells out. Email your out
of town race coordinators what distance you’re running and if you’ll need transportation.
Final arrangements are being made for the Wurtsboro 30K, and all the seats in the vans
have been filled! Over 30 Front Runners, including 2 relay teams, will be heading out to
conquer the first out of town race of the year. Good luck to everyone who is racing.

Please RSVP and suggest Agenda items: president@frny.org. Race Report With spring right
around the corner, this was a weekend of rest for most Front Runners. The race
with the highest weekend attendance was the NJRR Half Marathon in Asbury Park, where
Front Runners were among the top placing contenders. For the guys, the top three
finishers all were among the top ten for their respective age groups. Jonathan
Warner clocked in at 1:20:49, with a 6:10 pace, placing 4th. Mike Terry was next
with 1:25, and a 6:29 pace, placing 8th. And David Lin had a PR with 1:29:28, with
an impressive 6:49 pace, placing 8th out of 71. Steve Cochran was also on hand,
completing his first half marathon in 2:15. Congratulations, Steve!
As for the women, Alison McKenna clocked in at an awesome 1:50:25 with an 8:25 pace,
placing 14th. Rachel Cutler was there, too, doing a long training run before
heading back to Queens to lead the festivities at the first FRNY Multisport Kick-Off.
A Front Runners relay team -- composed of Peter Macari, Derek Petti, Gabriel Celis and
Tyler Adkins -- showed New Jersey how it’s done by placing first overall with 1:27:13.
And, we’ve gotten more reports from New Yorkers running from the cold. Back
on March 6, escaping the city, Andrew Butler and Doug Larsen ran the Miami Beach Half
Marathon under cloudy skies and a balmy pre-sunrise (75F/80% humidity!). Andrew
finished with the race with a time of 2:04 hours and Doug finished in 2:00. Don’t forget
to register for the next points race: the Scotland 10K on April 10, 2011!

the races... The club team challenge races, that is. This weekend was the first
points race of the season, and Front Runners brought speed and numbers to Coogan’s
Salsa, Blues, and Shamrocks 5K despite the wet weather. An astonishing 95 men and
women took to the Washington Heights hills in this perennial favorite.
Leading the men overall were names familiar to those who keep track of these
things: Rich Velazquez (16:36, 6th age, 77.9%), Michael White (16:58, 76%), Josh
Korth (17:08, 11th age, 75.2%, PR!), Gabe Benroth (17:24, 75.3%), and Chris Fisher
(17:36, 73.8%). Leading the women included two runners happily and healthily
returning from injury: Rachel Kliegman (21:13, 70.2% PR!), Megan Jenkins (21:40, 68.4%),
Hilary Lorenz (23:36, 68.3%, welcome back!), Rachel Cutler (24:02, 62.2%, welcome
back!), and Bernie Janelle (24:15, 72.4%).
Front Runners Men’s open team finished the first race of the season in 9th place overall
while the Women’s open team finished 16th. The Men’s masters team (Chris
Stoia (18:22, 5th age, 78.4%), Steve Vizena (18:25, 6th age, 82.7%), and Matt Anderson
(19:00, 71.8%)) and Vets team (Steve Vizena (again), Patrick Guilfoyle (19:22, 11th age,
77.4%), and James Childress (21:31, 69.6%)) both finished 6th. And not to be left
behind, the Women’s masters team (Hilary, Bernie, and Cindy Hearing (24:21, PR!))
finished 14th while the Women’s Vets team (Bernie, Lourdes Blanco (33:05) and Diane
Westerback (33:28)) finished 11th! The Men’s Super Vets team finished 5th (Dave
Pitches (21:37, 3rd age, 77.5%), Mark Mascolini (23:58, 66.9%), and Paul Racine (25:20,
65%))! Way to go team!
Patrick Guilfoyle and Johnny Fraser hosted a beautiful brunch after, which was enjoyed
by all! Thank you, Patrick and Johnny!
Also famously PR-ing and breaking down some major pace barriers (in no particular
order): Tsing Cheng (21:48), Kelly Swaim (17:51), Beth Strickland (35:37, PR of 5:59!),
Brittany Freese (25:35), and AJ Stachelek (26:00, PR of 6:38!).
Also this weekend, USATF hosted its 50K road national championships at Caumsett State
Park at Lloyd Harbor, NY. (50k is just over 31 miles) Daniel Guralnik debuted at
the distance with welcome company from ultra-runner extraordinaire, Tim Guscott.
Tim reports: "Unsurprisingly we did not win anything, but being lapped multiple times on
the 5k loop course by the national elite runners was pretty thrilling. Conditions were
not optimal for spending almost 5 hours on the course, as the Coogan’s runners no doubt
would agree, but at least it was a bit warmer." Don’t sell yourself short, Tim,
you guys are really grooving in these ultras!
Across the sea, Darin Soler and Kieran O’Mahony ran a training run. Well, to them
it was a training run, everyone else called it the Barcelona Marathon. In
celebration of Darin’s first masters race, and in preparation for the London marathon in
a month, these two enjoyed "an awesome day with perfect running weather - bright and
sunny but cool, allowing [them] to take in all the great sights on the course."
They crossed the line together at 3:41:59 and both felt it was one of their most
enjoyable marathons. Darin thought he hit a wall at km 40, but with just 2 km to
go he powered through. As it turned out it wasn’t really a wall but the start of a
flu outbreak that hit half of our traveling party! Get well soon, that marathon is
coming up!!
And back in her home state, Alison McKenna ran the E. Murray Todd half-marathon and
learned some good lessons along the way. Alison reports that it was a nasty day
for a race, with high winds, rain, and tons of puddles to wade through. This
fairly hilly race is organized by the Monmouth County Park System and starts/finishes in
Lincroft, NJ and goes through McMansion country, horse farm country, and then through a
park. The course, which she completed in 1:55:27, was beautiful, but not the
easiest course.

Training Tip
Plan to run the FRNY Track Meet on Friday, March 18! Email trackmeet@frny.org for
more details and click the banner above to register.
When you are getting tired in a race or a long run, think about your form. Often times,
when we’re tired, our form breaks down, causing us to be even more tired as we become
less efficient. So if we can remain efficient, then we can travel further and
faster with less effort. The easiest way to do this is to look at your
armswing. Make sure that are still moving your arms front to back, not side to
side. Also check your eyes -- you should be looking straight ahead, not
down. And finally, are you still lifting your knees? Or are they
dragging? These three simple form checks can remind you to be as efficient as
possible, and hopefully, less tired.
FRNY Multisport Please e-mail Rachel or Mike at multisport@frny.org for
additional information, race questions, or to be added to the weekly multisport e-mail
list.

3/19/11 Race Report On Saturday February 26, 52 Front Runners ventured to the best
borough to race in Prospect Park for the Al Gordon 4-Miler, named in honor of a
long-time NYRR board member.Leading the men with an impressive NYRR debut was Brendan
Moroney (23:46, 10th Age Group place), followed by Richard Buckheit (25:00, 1st AG!),
Matt Anderson (25:12, 5th AG), Albert Chen (25:48), and Patrick Guilfoyle (25:49, 3rd
AG).Jillian Ternosky finished first for the women (29:18), with Hillary Lorenz (30:43)
close behind. Stephanie Cunnane (32:30) scored 3rd for the team, while Rachel Cutler and
AJ Stachelek both crossed the line at the same time (34:44, a PR for AJ!).Further
mention goes to Dave Pitches for his 2nd AG performance, Mark Mascolini (10th Place AG),
and Sam LaFata (8th AG). In total, an impressive 9 Front Runners scored in the top 10 of
their Age Groups. Congratulations, runners!On Thursday, February 24th, continuing the
trend of FRNY participation at NYRR’s Thursday Night At The Races, 27 Front Runners
competed at three distances (1500m, 3000m, 10K Relay) to test their mettle around the
track. With a combined 260 laps around the Armory’s 200-meter track, FRNY clearly had
the biggest visible presence of the night.Winning Heat #3 in the Men’s 3000, Rich
Velazquez sprinted his final 200 meters to close on a time of 9:27 while Scott
Fitzgerald pushed the pace to come in at 9:55. Dave Lin is finding his track legs again,
breaking a 5:59 pace with an 11:11. Representing the women in the 3000m, Alison
McKenna began her first of three races for the night with a 13:27, a PR. Alison would
become the only Front Runner who ran all three events that night!With 17 heats for the
1500m race (6 Women’s, 11 Men’s), Front Runners had plenty of opportunity to tour 7.5
laps of the Armory Track.Madame President Megan Jenkins led the women with a 5:37, to
solidly claim her title as fastest female Front Runner of the night. Rounding out the
top 5 was a close race between Cindy Hearing (6:31), Alison McKenna (6:33, PR), Bernie
Janelle (6:39) and Brittany Freese (6:48).In the Men’s 1500, Scott Fitzgerald showed his
track prowess with a 4:38, narrowly edging out Marty McElhiney’s 4:42. Following them
were Spencer Nyland (5:05), Allen Durgin (5:12) and Tsing Cheng (5:27).Thursday Night at
the Races would soon give way to Friday Morning at the Races, as 12:00 am came and went
and the 10K Relay races had just begun. The music-themed 80’s night couldn’t have been
more appropriate, as Michael Jackson’s "Thriller" came on before the relays with its
opening line, "It’s close to midnight..."The 10K Relay teams consisted of a rotating
roster of 10 individuals, each racing one 200-meter lap at a time. With 9 teams (90
people!) at a time racing and lining the track, somehow mayhem gave way to a timely and
orderly race.Showing that FRNY plays well with others, the second heat of the 10K
featured a team composed of CPTC, Urban Athletics, and FRNY. Front Runners on the team
were Bernd Erpenbeck, Marty McElhiney, Allen Durgin, and Julio Gonzalez. Honorary FRNYer
Kevin Beganics raced in position #1.FRNY fielded two complete teams for the 10K Relay :
The FRNY InvASIAN and the descriptively named FRNY Women. The InvASIANS were composed of
(in relay order) Dave Lin, Chikara Onda, Koach Kelsey Louie, Da Ping Luo, Kent Lau,
Ekong Bassey Ekong, Onesimo De Mira, Thomas Wu, Steven Waldon, and Tsing Cheng.
With a time of 27:34, the InvASIANS averaged a 33.1-second 200-meter slpit.FRNY
Women would come through in 34:03, anchored by Megan Jenkins and cheered on by all
Armory stragglers who stayed on until the end. In Lane 4, the final 50 meter stretch was
lined the entire length by Front Runners and friends who showed some respect for the
FRNY Women by applauding a great showing. The FRNY Women would average a 40.9-second
split. On the team were Brittany Freese, Susie Conwell, Bernie Janelle, Megan McDavid,
Alison McKenna, Cindy Hearing, Martha Dao, Mi Puchon, Blossom Coryat, and Megan
Jenkins.A big shout-out goes to Koach Kelsey, who worked with all the relay participants
to make sure that baton exchanges were seamless and fast. Kelsey’s experience at the
track and his ability to work with runners of all abilities are beyond measure, and it
will go on record that not a single baton was dropped in the 120 exchanges of the
relay!A very special mention also goes to Chris Stoia, for timing and recording all
times. Chris stayed until the very end, putting in a good 6 hours of work so that
everyone else could focus on running. Special thanks to AJ Stachelek, Gemma Sanz de la
Serna, and Jennifer Wisdom, who also stayed up late to cheer. Left out from last week’s
Gram, the Hungover Hipsters (Susie Conwell, Mi Kami, and Megan McDavid) were the
third FRNY Female team to finish at the Cherry Tree Relay the previous weekend
with a time of 1:21:57. Photos this week feature: most of the track

}; February 24, 2011 Coogan’s 5K and FRNY Brunch
Patrick Guilfoyle and John Fraser are pleased to once again host their annual "upstate
Manhattan" brunch on Sunday March 6th immediately following the Coogan’s Salsa,
Blues and Shamrock’s 5K run. All runners and FRNY supporters are welcome to enjoy
the hospitality in their home at 689 Fort Washington Ave. Apt 5F at West 190th St.,
about 1 mile north of the race start at the Armory. If you’d like to lend a hand
with set-up and join the cheering squad in front of the building, please email
Johnny. You can drop by early if you’d like to leave a bag at their home before
the race. NYRR Club Night
FRNY is sending a contingent of club leaders to NYRR’s Annual Club Night on Thursday,
March 3. If you would like to join the group, please email Megan Jenkins to
indicate your interest by tomorrow, Friday, February 25 at 5 PM. A drawing will be
held at the February 26 fun run. FRNY Multisport Last Chance to SKI! There are
still a few spots remaining on our ski trip to Hunter Mountain this coming Sunday,
February 27. Out & Active has set us up with an $85 package deal that includes
round-trip transportation to/from Manhattan plus an all-day lift ticket! Link to
register for the trip is: http://outandactive.com/trips.php. (Please
note that due to limitations of our club insurance, this trip is not a Front
Runners-sponsored event.) Multisport Kick-Off! Join us at 5:30pm on
Sunday, March 13 at the LIC YMCA to celebrate the start of triathlon season 2011!
Meet our multisport coaches, tour the facilities, and experience an adrenaline-pumping
swim-bike-run workout. A celebration with food, drinks, and prizes will
follow. All are welcome!
Swimming and Spinning! See the FRNY calendar for details on Monday night swims
with Koach Kent. The next 2-hour spin class is scheduled for April 3rd from
5-7pm. Spots are limited! Please email multisport@frny.org to RSVP.
Please e-mail Rachel or Mike at multisport@frny.org for additional
information, race questions, or to be added to the weekly multisport e-mail
list. Track Meet Registration Open FRNY members get $5 off by registering
�online before March 17. Click the banner above to register now. The
Vienna Tourist Board, a returning proud sponsor of the FRNY Pride Run, is offering a
trip to Vienna for 5 days/4 nights where you and a companion could discover a city like
no other. Visit the Pride Run registration page to find instructions on how you can
enter the drawing (and sign up for the race, too!). Training Tip
Plan to run the FRNY Track Meet on Friday, March 18! Email trackmeet@frny.org for
more details. Take care of small, nagging injuries or slight pain right away to
keep it from developing into larger problems. Be smart about when to cut a workout
short, or when to add in an extra rest day. Taking a day or two off voluntarily
now is much better than being forced to take 6 weeks off later. If you are recovering
from an injury and are building back up, do so patiently. (The same is true when
you are coming back from being sick.) Don’t run to the point where it starts to
hurt -- you are re-injuring yourself. You should try to stop before you experience
pain -- this will strengthen that area. Again, sometimes less is more.
FRNY Long Run Group
For more information on the FRNY long run group, please email us or sign up for the long
run list here. Next Board Meeting: 3/1/11
All FRNY board meetings are open to all members. The next one will be held
Tuesday, March 1, 2011 at 7 PM at the home of Dave Lin, 222 West 14th Street, #6A,
between 7th and 8th Aves.. Please RSVP and suggest agenda items to
president@frny.org. Race Report Congrats to the Front Runners who ventured

strong finish, but due to D-Tag failure, it wasn’t recorded by race officials.

}; February 17, 2011 FRNY Does Canada, Eh?
FRNY is supporting a group to fly together and stay together to Vancouver for the 2011
Outgames.
We will fly out Wednesday, July 27 and return Sunday, July 31. The estimated cost
for group travel, hotel (2 per room), and registration is $959. Because of the
generosity of 2 donors, FRNY is able to offer financial support for this event--half to
support women’s participation. If you would like to contribute to making this event
affordable for FRNY members, please contact Megan Jenkins. To reserve your space
�for this trip, click here to make a $50 deposit by Feb. 23 To apply for support,
use this form; the deadline is February 23 at 12 PM. Coogan’s 5K and FRNY Brunch
Patrick Guilfoyle and John Fraser are pleased to once again host their annual "upstate
Manhattan" brunch on Sunday March 6th immediately following the Coogan’s Salsa,
Blues and Shamrock’s 5K run. All runners and FRNY supporters are welcome to enjoy
the hospitality in their home at 689 Fort Washington Ave. Apt 5F at West 190th St.,
about 1 mile north of the race start at the Armory. If you’d like to lend a hand
with set-up and join the cheering squad in front of the building, please email
Johnny. You can drop by early if you’d like to leave a bag at their home before
the race. NYRR Club Night
FRNY is sending a contingent of club leaders to NYRR’s Annual Club Night on Thursday,
March 3. If you would like to join the group, please email Megan Jenkins to
indicate your interest by Friday, February 25 at 5 PM. If more than three people
respond, a drawing will be held at the fun run on February 26. Track Meet Registration
Open FRNY members get $5 off by registering online before March 17. Click the
banner above to register now. You can do two things to support the Pride
Run today: register now (if you haven’t already!) and become a fan of the Pride Run
Facebook page. Training Tip
Plan to run the FRNY Track Meet on Friday, March 18! Email trackmeet@frny.org for
more details. Go into each race with a game plan, and then stick to it, (unless
something significant changes). This is my number one rule of marathoning, but it
applies to ALL races, even a short race like the 800 meters. Running smart translates to
running fast more often than not. When you work out, you do it mindfully, and make wise
decisions--or have a coach to make wise decisions for you. It’s hard to make wise
decisions in the middle of all of the excitement and adrenaline rush of a
race.
FRNY Multisport We’re going SKIING! Join us on the slopes of Hunter
Mountain on Sunday, February 27. Out & Active has set us up with an $85 package
deal that includes round-trip transportation to/from Manhattan plus an all-day lift
ticket! Link to register for the trip is now open and spots are filling
fast: http://outandactive.com/trips.php. (Please note that due to
limitations of our club insurance, this trip is not a Front Runners-sponsored
event.) Multisport Mondays. Join us for swim practice with Koach
Kent Lau every Monday at 8:00PM at the Long Island City YMCA! Swimming is
excellent for building endurance or recovering from a tough race. Don’t forget to
bring goggles, a swim cap, towel, lock, and $5 for admission. Participants should
feel comfortable swimming at least 25 yards with their head in the water.
Limited Computrainer Spots Available. There are a limited number of individual
spots available for "sublet" over the next month from members of the Computrainer crew.
If you’re interested in trying out a session for $25, please let us know.
Please e-mail Rachel or Mike at multisport@frny.org for additional
information, race questions, or to be added to the weekly multisport e-mail
list. FRNY Long Run Group
Sunday’s long run will be the Cherry Tree 10-miler and relay at Prospect Park in
Brooklyn. For more information on the FRNY long run group, please email us or sign
up for the long run list here. Save the Date: 3rd Annual Variety Show 4/1/11
Gather your sheet music, dust off your tap shoes, and gather a few friends for a little
April Fool’s Fun. You are encouraged to email us at social@frny.org if you would like to
enter an act or if you have any questions (NOTE: Details of your act are not required at
this time). More information coming soon!

between 7th and 8th Aves.. Please RSVP and suggest agenda items to
president@frny.org. Race Report Who knew that so many Front Runners would
shine in the bright lights of the Armory Track Center? Regardless of who knew or
didn’t know, everyone knows now! Coaches Kelsey Louie and Chris Stoia and their
army of timers (thanks!) have been working with runners repeat after repeat screaming
out splits and giving direction on form, and it shows. This Thursday Night at the
Races, Front Runners’ spirit, camaraderie and athleticism shone as 18 runners competed
in the three events of the evening (800 m, 1 mile and 2 mile). A brief recap is
below, but click here for the complete results.
Thirteen Front Runners ran the mile - led by Josh Korth for the men (4:36) and Natalie
Johnston for the women (5:31). A special welcome to racing on the track goes out
to Brittany Freese - who, in her first race on the track ran her fastest mile ever
(7:14)! Congrats, Brittany!
In the 800 m, 11 Front Runners completed the quick 4 laps in awesome time. Megan
Jenkins led off for the women (2:41) and Rich Velasquez blazed around the track in 2:07
for the men. Yet another PR for AJ Stachelek who finished in an awesome 3:01; for
�Blossom Coryat who took 6 seconds off her last 800; and for Ali McKenna with a time of
3:16! And in the 2 miler (yes, these souls voluntarily did 16 laps around the
track) 5 hearty Front Runners’ lights shone brightly. Ali McKenna, showing her
strength in "distance" led the way in the 2-mile race for the women after completing
both the mile and the 800 m events (15:37). Shortly afterwards, Linda Paparella
finished the 2-miler in her first ever track meet (15:41) (Welcome, Linda!) Linda
reported that she didn’t intend to race, only to train, but was egged on by the likes of
Megan Jenkins, and was glad she did it. She reported: "the best thing about
running around the track 16 times was that I got cheered for about 32 times, with Front
Runners posted on 2 spots along the track. Martha Dao came out just to cheer and
she was fabulous." Scott Fitzgerald led the way for the men, and ran the 2-miler
in 10:36! Way to go Scott!This weekend, many of us were off celebrating
Valentine’s Day in more traditional ways--eating delicious meals, staring longingly into
our "special someone’s" eyes, and, well - you get the picture. But others chose to
celebrate V-day in the "arctic tundra" as described by Men’s Vice President, David Lin.
In another edition of the holiday races in Van Cortlandt Park, several Front
Runners ran the icy paths in either the Valentines Day Half-Marathon or 10K. Big
time congratulations to Michael Benjamin, Ned Russell and Tim Guscott for completing the
half in one piece. And kudos to David Lin, Daniel Guralnick, Paul Grillot, IJ
Frame, Bryce Wunder, and Jim McCarrick on completing 6.2 snow and ice-covered miles.Over
in Prospect Park, Sam LaFata ran the V-Day 5K in 33:41 - perfect timing for a First
Place in his age group finish! Awesome, Sam, Keep it up!And last, but certainly
not least, 3 Front Runner ladies showed New Orleans and Mardi Gras what we’re made of.
Celebrating their 2-year anniversary (wow, has it been that long ladies?) Rachel
"RayK" Kliegman and Sandi Rowe showed John "the Penguin" Bingham that couples can and
should run marathons together! During his presentation at the expo, RayK asked the
Penguin for advice for couples attempting to run a marathon together.His response:
"Don’t Do it!" Well, luckily for these ladies, he was wrong on this one.
They came down for the experience, and they got it (even managing to snag some
beads along the way)--Sandi reports that it was the most fun she’s ever had running a
marathon! And after giving RayK and Sandi a brief 5-mile tour of parts of the
city, Janice Jabido branched off with the half-marathoners past the familiar sights and
smells (cajun food, anyone?) and to sounds of Mardi Gras and cheering crowds to complete
the half marathon. Laissez le bon temps rouler, y’all!

Next Board Meeting: 3/1/11
All FRNY board meetings are open to all members. The next one will be held
Tuesday, March 1, 2011 at 7 PM at the home of Dave Lin, 222 West 14th Street, #6A,
between 7th and 8th Aves.. Please RSVP and suggest agenda items to
president@frny.org. Training Tip
Rest is an important component of everybody’s workout regimen. Often times, when
it comes to exercise, less is more. Resting will not only allow your muscles to
recover, but it will also allow to you sustain your motivation to run, train, and race!
For marathoners, it is important to not do too much too soon so you can peak on race
day. For shorter distance runners, this will help you get to race day with an
extra spring in your step. Rest may make the difference between a PR and not a PR.

Runners who have been racing recently have sent out words of thanks and appreciation to
Kelsey Louie, Chris Stoia, and the indoor track crew, for helping them achieve
team and personal PRs. This week was no exception. The NYRR Gridiron
Football Toss and 4-Miler were held on Sunday, February 6th. Under a sunny sky at
a balmy 38 degrees, the team had a strong showing.
Among the men, Rich Velazquez placed first, with a 22:10 finishing time and a 5:32 pace
per mile, and a 13th overall place. Josh Korth came in next, with 22:56 and a 5:44
pace. Matt Anderson finished in 25:04 with a 6:16 mile, Jeremy Reiss clocked in at
an impressive 25:16 with a 6:19 pace, and rounding out the top five was 2010 Newcomer of
the Year, Benjamin Corbett with a 25:50 time, and a 6:27 mile. David Pitches
finished 2nd in his age group, with 28:20 and a 7:05 pace, while Jeffrey Schrager had a
PR of over 7 seconds and a finishing time of 30:35 (7:38 pace).
The ladies had many PR’s as well. Rachel Kliegman placed first for the team, with
28:05 and a 7:01 mile. Leah Serinsky was second, with 28:24 and a 7:06 mile.
Newcomer to the Front Runner racing scene, Kiley Margolis came in at 29:28 with a
7:22 mile pace. Hilary Lorenz (in her first NYRR race since LAST February welcome back!) had a stellar 30:01 time, and a 7:30 pace, and rounding out the top five
was Bernie Janelle who had a PR with 30:50 (5th in her age group), with a 7:42 pace.
Cindy Hearing also had a PR with a finishing time of 31:46 and a pace of 7:56
(first time under 8 min/mi. in a race over 1 mile). Brittany Freese had her third PR for
�2011 with a time of 34:16 and a pace of 8:34. AJ Stachelek improved her final time
by more than two minutes, with 35:28, and a pace of 8:52. Gemma Sanz la Serna had
a PR with 39:15 (9:48 pace), and Beth Strickland achieved a 13 second PR with a
finishing time of 47:32. Way to go Front Runners!
And a shout-out to Cat Wade, who threw the football the farthest of all the women
(and probably the men) at Sunday’s race festivities. Enjoy the basket of goodies!
 
; Also this month is one of Front Runners’ perennial
favorites - the Cherry Tree 10-miler and relay presented by Prospect Park Track Club.
Check out the website - teams are already forming! Mens VP Dave Lin is helping to
match up relay teams, so if you want to run or you need a teammate, email him.Looking
ahead to Reach the Beach in September, Jeff Werner is putting together a men’s open
team. Email Jeff if you are interested in participating.Finally, a quick shout out
to Zander Ross who also hit the shores of Miami last week completing yet another
marathon (4:08:05). Congrats, Zander! Photos this week feature: Josh Korth,
Kelsey Louie, Dane Grams, and Sandi Rowe at the Variety Show in 2010 (from Dave Lin’s
Facebook album); Matt Anderson, Dave Laurence, and Mike McMahon and Cindy Hearing,

Training Tip
Learn to trust yourself in your workout runs. Don’t be afraid to do a run at an
aggressive and tough pace (of course, you must temper this with judgment--but I’m
talking about paces that are reasonable). Trust that you will be able to finish the
entire run/workout. The worst that could happen is you slow down, maybe not even
finish the workout, but you pushed yourself. This is OK, you’ll learn to find the right
pace. Just push yourself. This will translate to trusting yourself and pushing yourself
in a race, and eventually, running faster times. Save the Date: Track Meet 3/18/11

Race Report While most Front Runners spent the weekend enjoying winter sports in what
has been one of the coldest winters in recent history, six lovely ladies headed to Miami
to take on the half marathon presented by ING. While Cat Wade (Ultimate
Cheerleader and Mini-van-driving Soccer Mom) cheered them on, Leah Serinsky (1:55, who
fell in love with and perhaps stayed in beautiful South Beach), Rachel Hitchcock (1:56,
Team ASPCA - over $2600 raised!), Katrina Amaro (2:11, despite being sick the week
before), and Jen Ishii (2:16 and Coach/ Tour Guide Extraordinaire) helped Colleen Brough
(2:16 and Rockstar!) tackle the distance for the first time ever. Way to go ladies
- you all certainly deserved the time lounging, eating, drinking and being happy by the
pool clad in flip-flops and shorts!!
On Tuesday, the 1st, 3 Front Runners excitedly ascended to the cold, icy, sleet-covered
top of the world in the Empire State Building Run-Up. That’s 86 floors - 1,576
steps to be exact. Congrats to Josh Korth, Barbara Finnegan, Philip Greenwald,
Daniel O’Neil, and Sandi Rowe who were cheered on by John MacConnell, Kelsey Louie,
Rachel Kliegman, and Lori Braun. Sandi reports that she had NO idea what to expect
and doubted whether or not she could finish. She only had 2.5 weeks notice that she was
in. So, she trained in RayK’s staircase by taking the elevator down to the ground
level & running up 6 flights; and repeated this over & over & over & over again.
Would she do it again? "In a heartbeat!"
This Superbowl Sunday, start the day out with the Gridiron Classic. The
event starts with a football throwing contest (8 am), and ends with a short and sweet
4-miler (starting at 9 am) where you can show your team spirit by choosing either the
Packers or Steelers finishing chute. As of press time, the race is still open, but check
�out the NYRR website for more details.Also this month is one of Front Runners’ perennial
favorites - the Cherry Tree 10-miler and relay presented by Prospect Park Track Club.
Check out the website - teams are already forming! Mens VP Dave Lin is helping to
match up relay teams, so if you want to run or you need a teammate, email him.Looking
ahead to Reach the Beach in September, Jeff Werner is putting together a men’s open
team. Email Jeff if you are interested in participating. Photos this week

FRNY Out of Town Racing
FRNY is providing transportation for members to the Wurtsboro Mountain 30K and the
accompanying relay, a good shorter distance option, on March 26 on a first come, first
served basis. 13 people have already signed up for transportation, so let us know if you
want to travel with the club soon. Stay tuned for info on the Jersey Pride Triathlon on
July 9. Email questions and future event nominations to outoftownraces@frny.org.
Training Tip
Keep a running log. It will help you keep track of your training better than
relying only on your memory. You will be more likely to identify workouts that
work really well for you or training flaws, such as overtraining. Just make quick
notes of what you ran, how you ran it, how you felt, eating and sleeping habits (at a
minimum just the workout). There are electronic versions that will help convert
information to graphs for you, or you can simply use pen and paper. FRNY
Multisport TNYA One-Hour Swim on Sunday! If you missed the first one on January 9,
you’ve got another chance on Sunday, January 30 to participate in this exciting
charitable fundraiser sponsored by Team New York Aquatics. See how far you can
swim in an hour, or form a four-person relay team and tackle it as a group. For
more information and to register online, check out http://www.tnya.org/ohs/

Track Meet 3/18/11
Race Report In what is starting to sound like a broken record of winter race-day
weather, 58 Front Runners turned out at 8am on a sub-freezing, 14-degree Saturday to run
the Manhattan Half Marathon in Central Park. Thanks to these conditions, we now know
what it takes to keep Mary Wittenberg’s pre-race speeches to a minimum: a wind chill of
5 degrees. The Top 5 for the men were led in by none other than Josh Korth (1:22:06,
72.1% AG), one of only two Front Runners to crack the 70% AG barrier. Following him were
a duo of Steven W’s: Wengrovitz and Waldon, with times of 1:26:01 and 1:28:35
respectively. 4th to cross the line was Michael Sanderson (1:28:37), followed by Anthony
Majewski (1:30:27).
 
; Representing the women, Rachel Kliegman decided to start her
first NYRR race of 2011 by leading the team in with a 1:42:52, while Lynn Canfield
�(1:58:46), Sandi Rowe (2:00:42), Alison Kliegman (2:01:05), and Michelle Duchon
(2:02:35) rounded out the Top 5. Making the Top 10 in their age groups, Paul Grillot
(1:36:23, 7th AG) rocked a purple bib and fought through more than 4300 racers on his
way to finish 485th overall, while Dave Pitches (1:41:11, 2nd AG) scored the highest AG%
of the club with a 75.8% and set a record for most icicles in a single mustache. In a
welcome return to racing, Todd Burke put in a solid, pain-free 1:48:27 after taking most
of 2010 off due to injury. It’s great to have you back, Todd! We look forward to your
full return to racing in 2011.
NYRR Thursday Night at the Races had a mix of
newbies and experienced track veterans running ’round the Armory in 3 distances: 800
meters, 1500 meters, and 5000 meters. In the 800 m, AJ Stachelek (3:05) and Blossom
Coryat (3:27) gave it their best at their first attempt at the distance, and ran strong
races to hit their target goals. While it may have been their first track meet, it
certainly won’t be their last! For the men, Derek Petti showed us all how it’s done
(2:02), along with Rich Velazquez (2:07), Marty McElhiney (2:16), Scott Fitzgerald
(2:19), Allen Durgin (setting a baseline PR 2:36), and Bernd Erpenbeck (2:39). Rich,
Marty and Scott all managed to improve their times from the last track meet and we look
forward to seeing more progress in the coming months. Racing the 1500 meter were Josh
Korth (4:19), Allen (5:23 -- another PR) and Bernd Erpenbeck (5:32). It was Allen’s
first time at the distance, and with such a fine showing we expect to see him represent
FRNY well at upcoming meets. Both Josh and Bernd turned out 1500 m times that were
faster equivalents of their mile times from only two weeks ago.
And because nothing says "fun" like 25 loops around the Armory track, Scott
Fitzgerald (17:33), Chris Stoia (18:21), and Thomas Wu (25:53) took on the 5K and got
their full fifteen-dollar’s worth of running -- 200 meters at a time. In warmer
climates, competing in the Dubai Marathon were Marathon Maniacs Rich Ervais (3:59:31)
and Zander Ross (4:51:30), each inching their way closer to hitting 80 marathons. Keep
’em coming, boys! February 1st is the Empire State Building Run-Up. Registration is
closed, but good luck to everyone ascending all 1,576 steps to reach the Observation
Deck a quarter mile straight up!
Register now for the Prospect Park Track Club’s annual Cherry Tree Relay on February
20. It is followed by a spectacular brunch at Sandi Rowe’s home near the
park! Next Board Meeting: 2/7/11
All FRNY board meetings are open to all members. The next one will be held Monday,
February 7, 2011 at 7 PM at the home of Andrew Butler, 327 St. Nicholas Avenue,
#3J. Please RSVP and suggest agenda items to president@frny.org. The

event recommendations to outoftownraces@frny.org.
Training Tip
When preparing for a race of a particular distance, it’s always good to test yourself in
a race that is shorter than that distance. For example, if you are focusing on a
�marathon, you want to test yourself in half marathons and 10ks to measure your
progress. Likewise, if you are racing 5 milers, it’s a good idea to test yourself
in a 2 miler or a 5K, on a track for example. And what a coincidence!
There’s a track meet this Thursday! Consider running this week’s Thursday
Night at the Races. It’s the perfect opportunity to get 200m splits for a race
where we can then analyze how you race. FRNY Multisport Deals at Ride Brooklyn!
Did last week’s speaker wet your appetite for a new ride? Get outfitted for the
summer race season with our group buy opportunity going on now through February 6.
Ride Brooklyn is also offering Front Runners a discount on professional bike fittings.
Regular Multisport Workouts. Join us for swimming with coach Kent Lau every Monday
at 8 pm at the Long Island City YMCA. Mark your calendars on Sunday, January 30
for our next 2-hour spin class, also at the LIC YMCA.
Please e-mail Rachel or Mike at multisport@frny.org
for additional information, race questions, or to be added to the weekly multisport
e-mail list.

Race Report It was a cold and quiet week for Front Runners on the New York racing
circuit; however, Front Runners were well represented in warmer races far from the snow
and ice.
Richard Ervais, racing in Bahrain, placed third in his age group in the Seef Mall Half
Marathon on Friday. Coming in at 1:38.35, Richard automatically qualified for the NYC
2011 Marathon.
Racing in the Miami to Key West Ragnar Relay was Patrick Guilfoyle. Patrick ran on the
"Running from the Law" team, placing second in the Mixed Corporate Division with a time
of 27 hours and 41 minutes.
Also apologies to Chris Miller who also raced in a warmer climate last week for the late
report. Chris ran last week’s Disney Half Marathon in a speedy 1:47.03.
Congrats to all who raced this past week! As a reminder, the next Thursday Night at the
Races series is tomorrow, January 20, and FRNY will be awarding five points to those who
race in the NYRR track meets (and report their times to the race captains!). Register
now for the Prospect Park Track Club’s annual Cherry Tree Relay on February 20. It
is followed by a spectacular brunch at Sandi Rowe’s home near the park! Next Board
Meeting: 2/7/11
All FRNY board meetings are open to all members. The next one will be held Monday,
February 7, 2011 at 7 PM at the home of Andrew Butler, 327 St. Nicholas Avenue,

Training Tip
Pick a specific distance to train for and focus on that for a few months at a
time. It is difficult to train well for both long and short distances at the same
time. If you attempt to train for both, you increase the risk of injury because
the specific workouts for, let’s say a marathon and a 5K, stress your body in different
ways. You’re less likely to perform optimally in either event if your training is
not focused. FRNY Multisport Last Call for Group Buy and Computrainer
Classes! Plans for the group buy and computainer classes are
solidifying this week. If you are looking for a new bike/trainer or would be
interested in participating in our group Computrainer classes, let us know immediately!
Ride Brooklyn speaking about bike maintenance this Saturday! Our speaker of the
month at the Saturday fun run on 1/15 will be from Ride Brooklyn. Learn about bike
maintenance and get tips for picking out/fitting your dream ride!

group were David Pitches (36:27, 3rd) and Sam Lafata (54:34, 10th). Cheering for
the team were Megan Jenkins, Blossom Coryat, Donna Checkan, Janice Jabido, and Paul
Racine. Great turn out and great running for any temperature.
 
;

Also representing the Front Runners well were Josh Korth, and Scott Fitzgerald.
The next indoor NYRR event is on January 20th with the 3000m (women only), the
5000m (men only), 800m and 1,500m (women and men).Meanwhile, in sunny Florida a trio of
Front Runners participated in the Goofy Challenge, a weekend event consisting of the
Walt Disney World Half-Marathon on Saturday followed by The Disney Marathon on Sunday.
Tim Guscott (1:50 / 3:53), Dane Grams (1:52 / 3:58), and Daniel Guralnick (1:52 / 3:53)
conquered the multi-day challenge. Special shout out goes to Daniel, who ran the Goofy
Challenge after having been diagnosed with a stress fracture only a couple of months
ago. Way to go, Dan! Timmy Wilson participated in the marathon clocking a 3:25 marathon,
and a newcomer to the 13.1 distance, Beth Strickland ran the Walt Disney World Half
Marathon in 2:47. Congrats!

Runners Rachel Cutler (3,645 yards), Peter McGrane (4,160 yards) David Lin (3,040
yards), Kent Lau, and Bob Nelson demonstrated their cross-training abilities.

We look forward to seeing you in 2011! RENEW TODAY! Training Tip
When setting goals for the year, remember that there are two types of goals: process
goals and outcome goals. Process goals identify something that you will do, for
example, I will run at least 4 times a week every week or I will not run more than 2
races a month. Outcome goals identify a result, for example, I will run a race
where I hit a 65% age graded % or higher by July 1 or I will run a sub 4-hour marathon
in the fall. It’s best if the goals are aligned so that you are more likely to
achieve your outcome goal if your work towards your process goal. And finally, set
SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-oriented. FRNY

Checkan by 5 PM on Friday (1/7/11) if you are interested in going as a group to the
Union Square Theater Tuesday night. Race Report "Happy New Year!" from your race
captains, new and old! May this year bring you prosperity, wellness, PRs, fast
races, team points and podium wins!Congrats to all who ran the first NYRR race of the
year - the Emerald Nuts Midnight Run! The fireworks went on for longer than it
took some of you to run, for sure!While most of us were recovering from the festivities,
some of our teammates (apparently, only the female half of Front Runners!) were busting
out some new PRs and awesome races this new year’s weekend.On New Year’s eve, Ali
Kleigman ran the "Run into the New Year" in warm, yet rainy, West Allis, Wisconsin 10k.
Her 53:55 time was yet another PR AND she got a full take-home bottle of
champagne! Cheers, Ali!On the first day of the year, Ruth Gursky was up bright and
early and shlepped herself to Prospect Park for the 1st race of the year, Harry’s
Handicap, in which runners are given starting positions based on their mile/hour pace.
Running at 13.3 mph, she started the race at 10:11:45. Her clock
finish time was 59:16, and her net time was 49.05. This was her first race at the
3.4 mile distance, so it’s another PR and more bling for her shelf! And even though she
joyfully joined PPTC with all the excitement of the day, she assures us that she
continues to race exclusively for Front Runners! Also on New Year’s day, Brittany
Freese hit the streets and wants the world (or at least the people who peruse the Front
Runner Gram) to know that she ran the Hangover Classic 5K in Monclova, Ohio in 27:45.
And, she finished 1st in age group! Despite the name, she reports that she
ran the race hangover-free with a good friend from Ohio. Congrats on winning your
age group, Brittany!Want a no fee, no fuss, no frills race in the woods?
Well, these races seem to be gaining popularity - the first was on Thanksgiving,
then Christmas, and finally New Year’ day and 9 Front Runners joined in the fun to start
the new year. Jill Crouther, Rachel Kleigman, Bernd Erpenbeck and Austin Phillips
ran the 10k; and Chris Stoia, Steve Waldon and a trio of Michaels (Benjamin, Sanderson
and Orzechowski) all ran the half marathon in the snow-covered hills! And
finally our friend south of the Mason-Dixon line - Melissa Kelson - continues to push
her boundaries - this time finishing a 50k - the annual NC Fat Ass 50K event. The
race was originally scheduled to take place on the All American Trail, Fort Bragg, but
was moved and instead run in Reservoir Park, Southern Pines. Melissa racked up
32.08 miles in 6:53:07. Not a bad way to start the year, indeed!This Saturday is
the first race of the year as well - the Fred Lebow 5 miler - starting at 8 am on the
East Dr. just north of 99th St. As of press time, registration is still available!
Will we see you there? Photo this week feature: Lenore Beeaky, Doug Larsen, Dave
Laurence, Mike McMahon and new FRNYer Brendan Phelan at the fun run on New Year’s Day.

track meet. Join us at the FRNY Track Meet on Friday, March 18 at 7 PM at the Armory
Track (West 168th St. and Ft. Washington Ave.). I urge you to register and run at least
one event, but if that’s not to your taste, you can always show up to volunteer (let
Kelsey and Derek know) or just come out and cheer!
An Interview with the Coordinators
We met with FRNY Track Meet coordinators Kelsey Louie and Derek Petti this month to get
the scoop on them and on the upcoming track meet.
The Next Mile: When did you first start racing on the track?Derek Petti: 8th grade. I
ran the 100m dash because anything longer felt like death. I guess I haven’t changed
much!Kelsey Louie: 21 years ago. I was 8. Just kidding. I actually ran during my
freshman year by myself in order to train to get ready to be on the track team my
sophomore year. I started because my oldest brother, who I idolized, ran track.TNM:
What’s your favorite distance to race and why?KL: 800m. It was my first race on an
indoor track. I took my coach’s advice of starting out conservatively too seriously and
ran a 2:43. I got lapped--the winner of that race ran 2:00. The winner yelled at me
after the race was over because I was in his way. (I wasn’t.) That day, November 16,
1990, I set the goal of running a sub-2:00 minute 800m race. I tried throughout high
school, but my high school coach made me focus on the longer distances. I only ran a
2:04. My college coach had me focus on longer distances too, but I managed to run a
2:01. I decided to try again for the Sydney Gay Games in 2002. I only ran a 2:03. In
March 2004, after countless attempts, at the FRNY Track meet, when I was 29 for the
first time, I finally broke 2:00 and ran a 1:59.62. The 800m is a tough race, but it
reminds me that you can do anything you set your mind to. It just takes hard work and
patience. This has made me a better runner and a better coach.DP: I’ve always loved the
400m hurdles (outdoor track, only). It’s an unpredictable race. You can train all year
and clip one hurdle at the conference championships and some freshman on your college
team will take advantage of it and duck you out at the line. Come to think of it, I
think I prefer the half mile.TNM: What’s going to be new or different about the 2011
FRNY Track Meet?DP: This year’s track meet is going to have all of the great features we
had last year (discounts for Front Runners, great relay opportunities, unlimited races
for one entry fee, gift certificates for overall winners, & medals for age-group
winners), but in addition, we’re planning on having our sponsor, Urban Athletics, bring
some vendors to sell running gear as well. This will be a great opportunity for the
people who trained at the armory this year to get a pair of flats or spikes for the
outdoor track season!TNM: What distances will you be running on March 18?DP: Once the
meet is flowing smoothly, I hope to have a moment to organize a distance medley relay.
It’s made up of 4 people that run 4 different distances - 1200 meters, then 400 meters,
then an 800 meter, and last a mile. It’s my favorite relay because you get to run with
people you don’t normally run with, and you can play to everyone’s strengths--fast short
distances and less intense longer distances. It’s especially fun for the people who ran
the indoor workouts to combine people who normally do the longer distance workouts with
people who do the shorter distance workouts.KL: I also enjoy the distance medley relay,
and, like Derek, if I can manage to run something on March 18, it will be the DMR. TNM:
What do you do when you’re not running?KL: Coach.Oh...do you mean for work? [laughs] I
am a non profit manager--I am the Senior Vice President of HIV Services at Harlem
United. I also teach at the NYU School of Social Work. In all of these roles, I see
myself as a coach, just a coach of different things...whether it’s how to run faster,
how to run with better form, how to provide therapy to clients or how to manage others,
or how to administer quality social services. I like to coach.DP: Sleep. And don’t tell
�Rachel [Cutler], but I sort of love those multisport swims in Queens on Monday nights at
8pm at the LIC Y [laughs]. Email trackmeet@frny.org for more details.

}; SEPTEMBER 2011
Volume XXVIII Issue 9 On more than one occasion, when I’ve felt tired or disheartened at
the beginning of a workout, Coach Chris Stoia would tell me (and I’ve heard him tell
others), "showing up is half the battle." I have taken this saying on as my mantra when
the going gets tough, my "A" race is looming near, and nothing seems to be falling into
place. Training for a big triathlon, track meet, marathon, or obstacle challenge
course is an emotional and physical task. It’s hard to be on target and in the zone for
an entire season. Even when you just run for fun and fitness, there can be days that you
just don’t feel like going out to run. We all have lives outside of running: families,
friends, jobs, school, pets, and other important obligations. So, I think it’s important
to acknowledge that, at least on same days, managing to also schedule time for a run or
a team workout is an accomplishment in itself. The other key part of this
philosophy is knowing that if I can do half the battle just by showing up, my teammates
and coaches will help me through the other half of the battle at the workout. With the
support of my fellow Front Runners, it seems like almost any track or hill workout, long
run, or tempo run will be easier, or at least more entertaining. Front Runners has
a number of exciting events in the next month at which the team will show off its
training and camaraderie. September 10 is our annual, fun cross country meet. This 5K
loop, in gorgeous Van Cortlandt Park, is followed by donuts and coffee. Join us there at
11 AM for an 11:30 AM race start. Wild Women Wednesdays, a newer FRNY tradition,
have proven to be fun for Front Runners of all genders. Every first Wednesday of the
month women and men gather after the fun run at the Amsterdam Alehouse on Amsterdam
Avenue at 76th Street at about 8:30 PM. I hope to see you there tomorrow, September
7! Email Women’s VP Sandi Rowe or see the FRNY calendar for details.
September will also see the fall Reach the Beach Relay in which several
Front Runners teams will participate, including the first FRNY ultra women’s team. It’s
not too late to get involved-some teams need drivers and we can always use alternates.
Drop us a line, if you are interested in being connected with a team. Also coming
up shortly are back-to-back NYRR points races: the Fifth Avenue Mile on September 24,
and Grete’s Great Gallop, a half marathon, on October 1. If you need help deciding which
one to do, or wonder if you can do both, check in with our coaches; they can help you
make a plan.
Wishing you all the best,Megan Jenkins by Kelsey LouieGetting back into running after an
injury isn’t always easy. We often want to return back to our routine or pace or
intensity as quickly as possible, however, doing so in a way that allows us to recover
properly requires patience. There are so many factors that must be considered when
returning from injury -- what and where the injury was, the severity of the injury, how
long you were off running, and your overall fitness level. However, with all
injuries, it is critical to start back slowly and increase your mileage gradually to
allow the final healing to take place.A good test to make sure you can run is that you
must be able to walk briskly without pain. During walking, your body absorbs forces of
about 2 times your bodyweight. This will help determine when the injury will be able to
handle the greater impact forces of running. During the first few runs you will just be
getting your body used to the running motion again, and it may feel awkward at first.
You may even feel winded very early on and even feel out of shape. Rest
assured, this feeling will go away after a few runs. If you have pain in the area that
was injured then you have not healed sufficiently to run. You may, however, experience
some normal soft tissue discomfort as your muscles get used to running again.
Joints, soft tissues, and bones are more susceptible to common "overuse" injuries
such as shin splints, tendonitis (especially in the knee), ITB Syndrome, plantar
fasciitis, and even stress fractures. If running is painful, stop right away and consult
your doctor. Do not try to "run through" the pain -- it could severely
set back your recovery. If you run to the point where you feel pain, you are not
allowing yourself to heal, and in fact, you could be re-injuring yourself.
Instead, if you stop before you feel pain, you’ll be strengthening that area.
A good guide is to monitor how you feel immediately after each run and the next
�day. The length of time it takes for any soreness to dissipate is a good indicator of
how well you are healing.An excellent way to re-introduce yourself to running is by
alternating walking and running. Walking will warm up your muscles and walking breaks
will give you time to evaluate how you feel. It is common during the first few weeks
back to get excited and overdo it, but be mindful of that, especially when running with
others. Stick to the game plan! The running segments will gradually become longer and
the walking breaks shorter until you are back to continuous running. The amount of
time required to return to full training varies widely, so you should know which
training variables to adjust: distance, frequency (number of runs per week), and
intensity of your runs. One important thing to remember is that you should not increase
all three at once. It’s more important and easier to increase frequency and
distance rather than intensity. The key is to continue with alternative activities such
as deep water running, cycling, or using the elliptical while re-introducing running. It
may take several weeks before you are running far enough or hard enough to actually
improve your cardiovascular fitness, so your hard sessions (if you want to do some) will
have to remain with your alternative exercises. Following these guidelines should
help make returning from injury a little easier. Remember to be patient and to consult
your doctor (and koach!).

As we head into September, the end of our summer triathlon season is coming near.
Most of us will wrap up our final races by late September and early October. Even
if you’ve completed your last race for the season, it’s a great time to enjoy outdoor
workouts as the heat of the summer wears off. Here are a few tips to carry with
you as we look toward the fall training season:
Now is a great time to look for sales on triathlon gear, specifically cycling-related
equipment. Like any other retailers, tri/bike shops will start looking to
liquidate their inventory of summer triathlon gear this month; it’s a great time for you
to pick up that remaining piece of gear (new bike gloves, tri shorts, tops, etc.) at
drastically discounted prices. Cycling retailers are also starting to clear out
their inventory of 2011 bikes as they make way for the 2012 models. A great time
to buy!Be more cautious on morning and evening rides as the daylight hours
shorten. If you don’t have bright lights on the front and rear of your bicycle
(white in front, red in back) now is the time to buy them...and use them! We have
suggestions on brands/designs that work well -- reach out to Rachel and Mike if you have
questions.There are certain pieces of gear such as cycling booties and biking tights
that will allow you to extend your cycling season further into fall as the weather
cools. Dan Gallagher is an excellent resource for tips on cool weather biking
gear.Once you’ve completed your final outdoor ride for the season, be sure to give it a
thorough cleaning before you let it hibernate through the winter months. Removing
dirt/dust from the frame and wheels plus lubricating the chain will help increase the
lifespan of your bike components. (Taking some time to clean your bike now will
also make your first ride next spring far more enjoyable!)If you plan to train indoors
through the winter months, consider purchasing a bike trainer that will allow you to
spin stationary indoors. We plan to organize computrainer sessions at Ride
Brooklyn again this winter/spring -- those sessions will be advertised over the coming
months.
Finish strong this month, FRNY! By Zander Ross
IF YOU WORRY, WILL THE FUTURE CHANGE? So I begin this column with a question that is
just as important as the answer itself. I think we all know the true answer to this
question, nevertheless, we still worry about what it could be.
The answer is simple: No.
But sometimes worrying is not all useless, I think worrying pushes us to find a
solution, to resolve a problem or to realize that the future won’t change unless we do
something about it.
Take for example our future in the upcoming fall marathons lineup.
Are we worrying that we are not training enough? That we are doing too few long runs?
That perhaps we don’t have the right equipment to endure the distance?
Let’s stop worrying and do something, let’s put on paper what’s in our minds and what’s
concerning us and write the solutions right next to them. For instance I worry about how
my legs will feel after long runs, as they get longer and more numerous. So here is what
I use to make myself feel "Legs worry free."
Compression Tights: These tights are just as comfortable in winter as they are in warm
months, they reduce swelling and pain. Some of the new models are recommended as well
for use during the night while sleeping as they promote healing. I have a pair of short
and long and I even used the long ones in the summer and they keep my legs and muscles
in good shape.
Compression Wraps: Similar to the tights, but more dedicated to a specific part of the
legs. There are some for shins, thigh, calf and even ankles.
Strasbourg Sock: This is a funny sock, but it’s an excellent device to battle plantar
fasciitis while sleeping. The Strasbourg socks keep the plantar fascia in a stretched
�position encouraging healing and flexibility. And it’s also good to relieve heel spur
symptoms.
Foam Roller: This light easy roller promotes flexibility, myofascial release, and
prevents injuries. It alleviates muscle and soft tissue tightness on the legs and even
in the upper and lower back. I use it mostly for my IT band, but also for my abductors,
hamstrings and quads.
Finally, Alcis: It’s a pain relief cream. It works very well with sore, bruised or
swollen muscles.
So, going back to my question, "If you worry, will the future change?"
Though the answer is still no, we can at least learn from it, by changing what can be
changed; by fixing what’s in the way of our having a great run and/or race. Take those
hurdles out of the way and you’ll have more time to strategize on how to run well and,
as Koach Kelsey says, "Run Smart!"
And, as always, remember that while you’re now running worry free, you should still:
Trip a KenyanBeat a KenyanBE a Kenyan
Don’t worry anymore. Zander By Miles Harter Good news about dark
chocolate!
To explain this good news, I first have to describe oxidation and antioxidants.
Oxidation is the continuous interaction between oxygen molecules and cells in the body.
This oxidation can in part be caused by either the positive stresses brought about by a
good run or the negative stresses brought about by poor nutrition, mental stress, or
insufficient sleep.
The oxidative interactions generate by-products called free radicals. These free
radicals are molecules that are chemically unstable molecules, unstable because they
have lost an electron. To restore balance, each chemically unstable molecule (or free
radical) embarks on a hunt to pair with another molecule, attempting either to steal an
electron from another nearby molecule, or to donate its remaining electron to a nearby
molecule. This molecular instability can damage, disrupt, or even destroy nearby cells,
potentially causing such unwanted side effects as cardiovascular disease and premature
aging. In essence, oxidation is the equivalent of rust in the body.
There are many different groups of free radicals. There are also many different
groups of chemical compounds -- called antioxidants -- that can counteract these free
radicals, lessening the damaging effects of oxidation. Because of the many types
of free radicals, our bodies also need many types of the antioxidants to fight the free
radicals. One key type consists of polyphenols, which are plant-derived organic
compounds.
Now to dark chocolate! Cocoa seeds, which come from the cacao plant, are full of
these polyphenol compounds. These compounds can produce such miracles as reducing
inflammation, increasing energy and immune function, and improving sexual function in
men. Who needs Viagra when they can eat dark chocolate?
Two caveats!
(1) We need only small amounts of the chocolate -- half a bar of dark chocolate a week
-- to provide us with the antioxidant polyphenol compounds of cocoa seeds to help
counter some of the damaging effects of oxidation. More is not better!
(2) The milk in milk chocolate interferes with the absorption of polyphenols. So
to fully benefit from the chocolate, we must stick with dark chocolate. Deepesh Jain

DJ: I love the beach but scared of going into the water -- any swimming coaches care to
help? Michael Grzelecki - by Rob Lennon
Mike Grzelecki spent the last two weeks of August on the easternmost edge of
Provincetown. Just beyond the garage-door knockoffs of Warhol’s Marilyns and before the
entrance to Truro, the rustic artist’s cabin where he set up shop could not feel farther
from the buzz and bustle of P-Town and yet Grzelecki was just a five-minute bike ride to
the Boatslip for afternoon "tea" or an evening of debauchery at the town’s (in)famous
A-House.
�
"This location suits me," he offers with a grin as toothy as it is contagious. During a
tour of the three-room residence, he points out some of the space’s hidden
eccentricities, stopping at one point to unlock a wooden barrel mounted to the kitchen
wall that opens into a kitschy bar inspired by (or perhaps crafted in) the 1950s. The
small front patio peeks out through a zigzag of dunes and seaside shacks to the rich
blue horizon where the bay touches the sky. The simple house brims with these unexpected
details. "It’s kind of like the Brooklyn of P-Town," he beams with trademark
self-effacement.
Of course, no one embodies Brooklyn like Grzelecki. (Sincerest apologies to Rick
Buckheit, Sharon Abbott and Jeff Werner!) "Mike has been living in Park Slope since the
early 90s, which makes him somewhat of a pioneer," says fellow Brooklyn-phile Brendan
Moroney. "He was there before the Food Coop, before all the gentrification, and possibly
even before (gasp!) it became popular in the lesbian community." Of his beloved
borough, Grzelecki picks Prospect Park - which he bikes through every day to work as a
seventh grade English teacher in Ditmas Park - as his favorite spot of all. "It’s all
about being a quiet haven from city-living," he adds of the experience.
A representative Brooklynite among this year’s Front Runner New York race captains,
Grzelecki has been a breath of fresh air since joining the club in 2009. President Megan
Jenkins went to the same church in Brooklyn as Grzelecki and urged him to run with the
club. "He’s super relaxed and very easy to spend time with," says Jenkins. "And he
doesn’t get his feathers ruffled about much, which is an essential race captain trait."
His leadership role in the club began in 2010 when he offered to join long-time Brooklyn
ambassador Peter Doebele as a co-head of the Tuesday runs in Prospect Park. Grzelecki
opened up his apartment to fellow runners for bag drop and - along with Megan McDavid,
Holly Brewster, Karl Rutter and Messieurs Doebele and Moroney - helped ensure a stable
and fun presence in Brooklyn, with attendance creeping past 15 runners on many Tuesday
evenings. But much like Brooklyn itself or that easternmost edge of P-Town, there is
more to Grzelecki than meets the eye.
Despite his laid back attitude and surfer dude speech patterns (marked most adorably by
his ability to stretch the word "nice" over about six seconds and a chorus of undulating
syllables), Grzelecki hails from Schenectady, where he comes from a hardworking family,
in which his father - a self-taught electrical engineer - spent 50 years as a loyal
employee of General Electric. He still misses certain of the simple pastoral pleasures
offered by Upstate New York, but finds living in close proximity to Prospect Park helps
sate his desires to commune with nature.
Grzelecki never doubts his decision to move to New York City - and, like many gay youth
before him, he heard the city’s siren song at a very early age. In Grzelecki’s case, the
melody was carried equally within the bleak chords of "Taxi Driver" and "Midnight
Cowboy" as on the lighter notes of "Tootsie" and "Working Girl." And so Grzelecki headed
to college at Fordham University in the Bronx to study English and Communications. "I
could barely contain my enthusiasm when I saw the city skyline in the distance," he
recalls. (Can anyone else hear the opening lines of Let the River Run rising through the
soundtrack of his life?) "The first thing I did, after saying goodbye to my parents, was
to go for a run, to try to get my excitement and my nerves under control."
Running has long played this type of therapeutic role in Grzelecki’s life. As a
teenager, Grzelecki used running to quell some of the pangs of self-criticism that
plagued him. He ran on the track team in high school but with no real focus or specific
ambitions and continued to find himself running to quiet his overactive synapses and
smooth out those dendritic frays. In his twenties, that meant running to sort through
the "mess" of coming out and the journey of coming into his own - as well as the trauma
of a vanishing hairline. Running also provided comfort during romantic travails that
included the dissolution of two long-term relationships and during professional upheaval
that included turning in his fundraising career for the pursuit of teaching.
But these last two years Grzelecki has really hit his stride, so to speak. "Front
Runners has helped me incorporate running into my daily life," he says. "If you had told
me a year ago that I’d be running outdoors in winter and in the crazy NYC heat I would
not have believed you." As is so often the case, the social aspect of Front Runners
fueled the athletic and fitness interests for Grzelecki, who has recently broken 6:30
pace in shorter races and is training for his first NYC marathon this fall. When asked
in P-Town last week about his irritating absence of body fat, Grzelecki said: "yea, I
guess I’ve become a little bit of a running psycho lately."
In typical Front Runner fashion, this fever has proven highly communicable. Moroney
notes that Grzelecki, who was the first Front Runner he met, encouraged him to attend
not just the Tuesday night but also the Saturday morning fun runs. Grzelecki also added
�Moroney as a contact for the Brooklyn fun runs. As for the fast times that both men have
been clocking lately, with Moroney smashing 1:30 by several minutes in his debut
half-marathon this past May? "Those super-intense Tuesday evening runs in Prospect Park
must be the culprit," posits Moroney.
So could this chill dude with the carefree attitude actually be upping the volume in
Brooklyn? Come find out for yourself. "We meet every Tuesday at 7 PM at the Third Street
entrance and begin running at 7:15," says Grzelecki. "This fall we are hoping to add a
few long runs in and around the borough, and a few socials as well." Keeping Front
Runners on its toes with a healthy mix of tradition and innovation - well, no surprise
there.

FRNY bids fond farewell to Janice Jabido, who has served as Race Captain since
January 2010. She will be greatly missed in the weekly Gram, as well as on

-- relocates to Chicago this month.
Bernie Janelle Bernie Janelle has been an avid runner for 37 years. As a high
school athlete in Nashua, New Hampshire, she participated in tennis, softball,
basketball, and track and field. In college, Bernie became an active member of the cross
country training team and the intramural tennis team. After running seven marathons, she
embraced the fact that long distance events require discipline of the mind, body and
spirit, too. Bernie demonstrated both determination and commitment by qualifying for
Boston at the 2010 Philadelphia Marathon. In 2011, Bernie discovered triathlons.
She successfully completed three sprint distances and one Olympic distance.
For all of the support and encouragement she receives from FRNY, Bernie always
wants to give it right back.
As a veteran runner, she sees the role of race captain as an opportunity to support and
encourage runners at all fitness levels and experience. She also looks forward to
reporting (and celebrating) your small victories and BIG accomplishments, too!

At this time when so many people are training extra hard for marathons I think a recipe
for recovery is needed. I borrowed this recipe from an active.com e-mail and I like it
because it has a good amount of calories, and a good ratio of carbs/protien and
fat. Cherry and Blackberry Smoothie1 1/3 cups frozen sweet dark cherries2/3 cup
frozen blackberries1 cup cherry juice1 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt1 tablespoon
flaxseedCombine all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.

}; OCTOBER 2011
Volume XXVIII Issue10 At the International Front Runners meeting on Saturday,
September 24 (my report is below), that drew 30 representatives across the country, the
other attendees frequently referred to FRNY as a club to emulate. They are
impressed by the number of paid members, the percentage of participation we have at our
events, our Pride Run, and our communications (clearly they weren’t aware of the
glaring omissions from the initial Reach the Beach race report). I don’t have the words
to properly express what an honor it was to have represented FRNY there in Austin,
Texas. I was asked over and over, "How does FRNY do all that?"I
told each person who asked that FRNY has many deeply dedicated volunteers who can be
relied upon to complete the projects we undertake. There is so much energy in
FRNY to create the training programs for our runners, allow members to try new
things, and to connect with one another. I told them that the FRNY board has for years
been staffed by seven energetic and responsible people who really know what it
means to serve. Beyond that, we have dozens of volunteer coordinators, project leaders,
graphic designers, and event planners who step up to the plate, so to speak, month
in and month out to serve the club. Another opportunity for stepping up is
available right now! I hope you will consider nominating yourself, or someone else, for
a position on the 2012 board. I’m not going to lie: being a board member is a
lot of work. We have a big, active, diverse club with high expectations of its
leaders. But the rewards of service to the club as a board member are great. If you
have ever bageled, then you know what it is to be greeted by everyone coming through the
line and applauded on a Saturday morning. In my experience, the vast majority
of people in this club are immensely generous in expressing gratitude for club
initiatives and the time and effort our programs take. There are tangible benefits,
as well, such as adding experience and volunteerism to your resume; networking with
FRNY’s fabulous membership, other running clubs, and other LGBT sports
organizations; and the delicious dinners that have become a monthly tradition at board
meetings of late.If you are thinking of running for a board position, please know that
board members, past and present, are usually very willing to answer your questions about
the duties they handle during the year, the time commitment, or whatever else you
may want to know. I hope, if you have the interest, that you will feel encouraged to run
for a position.FRNY Election Officers Martha Marina Dao and Tom Malcolm can answer your
questions about the process -- look for their calls for nominations and self-nominations
in the Front Runner Gram.Wishing you all the best, Megan Jenkins
International Front Runners Meeting September 24, 2011 - Austin, TexasOn September
24, 30 delegates from Front Runner clubs across the country gathered for the Annual
General Meeting of the International Front Runners. This report
summarizes the decisions of the meeting. Last year there was no meeting, and
therefore, no elections. Alden Clark of Boston FR has served as Communications
Chair, a position formerly titled President. He was unanimously elected to
continue on in the position. Dave Lin of FRNY was nominated to run for NE Regional
Representative to IFR. Contacted by phone from the meeting, Dave agreed to serve in this
capacity, and is now a voting member of the IFR. The Federation of Gay Games
and Gay and Lesbian International Sports Association (OutGames) will host one single
Quadrennial sporting and culture event beginning in 2018. Tentatively, the Annual
General Meeting of the IFR in 2012 will be held in St. Louis, and will likely coincide
with the St. Louis Rock and Roll marathon.Alden and Brad--the web master of IFR--asked
us to share our newsletters with other FR clubs, and to also to update their calendar
with our events. IFR collects about $1,500 in dues from 57 Front Runner clubs; the
amount of dues is based on club size. FRNY is one of the 5 largest clubs that pays
$100 per year in dues. IFR had a cash balance of $7,889 at the start of the
year, and a cash balance of $8,957 at the time of the meeting. by Kelsey LouieTapering
for Fall MarathonsWith about one month left before the ING NYC Marathon, I offer
suggestions on how to plan an effective taper and some recovery
tips. TaperingEverybody tapers differently, so knowing the goals of a good
taper will help you determine what you need. A proper taper allows your body to
recover from the months of hard training without letting you get out of shape. It
should also be a time to get your muscles used to running your marathon pace. A
three-week taper is typical, although some people prefer a two-week taper. I would
�only suggest a two-week taper for experienced marathoners. In your
first week of tapering, cut your total weekly miles by 20-30% of your most recent weekly
total. Then cut back another 20-30% of that total in the following week. And then,
again. So if you ran 50 miles in your last week, your first tapering week should
be 35-40 miles, your second tapering week 24-32 miles, and you third week 17-25.
Your long run in the first week of tapering should be no more than 15 miles. Your long
run in the second week should be 8-10 miles. In the week leading up to the
marathon, you should run fewer total miles than your longest long run. Rest completely
on the day or two before the marathon. During tapering you should NOT run any intense
workouts like hill repeats or speedwork. You can do timed mile repeats aiming to hit
your marathon per-mile goal pace. If you’re weight conscious, don’t be surprised to
see yourself gaining a few pounds as you taper. Don’t worry about it. Much of that
weight is just water, and they’re not going to slow you down in the race. Try to
get a good night’s sleep on Friday night before the race. If you do that, you don’t have
to worry about losing sleep on Saturday night because of nerves, and because you have to
get up early on Sunday to make it to the start. Don’t try anything new in the
week leading up to race day, especially with your diet. Eat foods that you are
used to. You may consider trying high doses of the antioxidant vitamins C and E as
many athletes believe that will prevent soreness after the race. Another trick to keep
your muscles loose after the race is taking an ice bath! It’s not as horrible as it
sounds. Get into a tub of cool water and gradually add ice to lower the temperature of
the water. You’re using the same principle as putting an ice pack on a sore muscle after
a tough workout. Mentally prepare for your marathon. Visualize the
race. Review your race strategy. Remember the #1 rule of racing. Stick
to the game plan. (Unless something changes drastically, like an injury, etc.)
Review your hydration/fuel plan. Think about what you are going to say to
yourself to motivate you to keep going if you get tired. Recovery
Immediately After the MarathonJust like any other race, it’s a good idea to cool down
after your marathon. Jog slowly or walk for about 5-10 minutes if you can.
The walk to the baggage and then to the meeting area at the ING NYC Marathon is
plenty. Do some light stretching if you can, or if a massage is available, take
advantage of it. All of these activities will help increase blood circulation.
Drink plenty of fluids, especially those rich in electrolytes like
sports drinks, or orange, or tomato juice. Rehydrate for the next few hours, with
approximately 6-8 ounces of water every 90 minutes or so. Eat something as soon as
you are able to. Take an ice bath, to reduce soreness. Take a nap if you
want to. If you are able, try to walk another 10-15 minutes later in the day to
keep your blood flow moving. The Day/Week After the MarathonFor
the next few days, you may experience fatigue and soreness. Delayed onset muscle
soreness may cause you to feel most sore 48 hours later. This is normal.
Exercise when you feel ready to. Anything that you do will promote circulation and
aid healing and recovery. Whether you walk, jog, run, cycle, or swim, take it
easy. Your body is still recovering. If anything is sore, ice it after your
workout. You have the right to eat anything you want. For those
of you who decided to run a marathon, especially if it’s your first one, the hard part
is over. Congratulations! Best of luck during the marathon! Remember, there
will be many reasons to slow down, but you only need one good reason to keep
pushing. Find that reason.
By Mike Terry and Rachel Cutler
This month we interviewed some of FRNY’s top multisport talent for their stories and
wisdom on the sport of triathlon. We learned quite a bit about what makes
these athletes tick--and what makes them so successful.
"What made you start competing in multisport?" Several of our triathletes
jumped into multisport because they were looking for something new--a new challenge, a
new way to cross train, or as a means to recover from a running-related
injury. Ryan Singer recalled, "I started multisport because I was in a
post-marathon funk. I needed a new challenge." Others, like Alison
McKenna and Dan Gallagher, lived in awe of triathletes and it fueled their decision to
become one. Alison said, "I swam in high school, grew up biking around my
town, and had always watched coverage of the Ironman World Championships. I
thought the Ironman triathletes were crazy for running a marathon! (How times
change...)" Our pro swimmer Onesimo DeMira started taking multisport
seriously when he realized that biking and running made him stronger in the water--and
vice versa!
We also asked our triathletes about their favorite multisport memory--several of them
struggled to choose just one! All of them recalled the adrenaline rush of
racing and the elation of conquering something huge. Both Cindy Hearing and
Onesimo remembered the thrill of completing their first half Ironman-distance races (as
�a side note, both Onesimo and Cindy will be tackling full IM-distance races
this year!) Bernie Janelle went back to the Jersey Pride Triathlon this past
July, "Not knowing that I took 1st place in my age group until Cindy gave it to
me!" Sean Gillick, one of the club’s elite Ironman-distance triathletes,
remembered the energy he felt standing on Panama City Beach with 2,500+ triathletes
before the start of his first Ironman. "The realization that I was about to
tackle such an enormous event/goal was incredible. It’s hard to put into
words."
The tri-veterans also shared their wisdom for triathlon newbies. Each of them
brought up the mental toughness that triathlon requires. Dan Gallagher wrote,
"Don’t worry about the latest bike or aero ’gewgaw.’ In the end it is your body and
mind working together in concert like you have never done before." Dave
Pitches, one of the club’s longest-tenured podium finishers responded, "The number one
attribute of successful competition is concentration. Concentrate on your
stroke, your spin, your pace--the tougher it gets the more you have to
concentrate." And then Bernie just wrote, "Don’t think about
it. Don’t plan a lot. Just go out, do it and have a blast. Get
out of your comfort zone." I think those are words to live by.
Go gettem’ FRNY! By Zander Ross
"Anything for you"
Hmmm... "Anything for you." Haven’t you said those words before? Perhaps
even a few times. Even a few more times than you can remember? God
knows, I did! More times than my ears hear them from somebody telling them to
me. So, is that considered a promise? Did you keep that
promise? Was it kept for you as well? Is...anything for you a
promise made, that is sometimes not kept?
I used to run in New Balance shoes, but I found that they didn’t last at all for
me. So I went in search of another shoe. A shoe that will take me
to my next race without giving me any problems. That’s when I found Nike Free 5.0
Gosh! Did I love those shoes, they promised me swift feet, free of pain and
discomfort, mile after mile. I even went as far as running a full marathon in them,
"Anything for you" they told me. But, as you all know, after nearly 90 marathons, 1 pair
is not much. So I went back in search of my "Promise," but it was no
longer there. Anything for you, they said, but they were gone -- those words
were as empty as my bank account. An empty promise. My Nike Frees
5.0 had turned into Nike Frees 3.0 and even a totally different name now. All I
could hear was more empty promises. Isn’t it unkind when you finally find the
"Nirvana" of shoes, and then they are taken away? What kind of shoes do you
use? How many pairs do you buy before they are all gone? I once went on
a hunt on the internet searching for dream shoes, but it was useless, Nike Frees 5.0
were finally gone. For good. Forever. How much longer are you
going to be able to find that perfect running shoe? And, what will happen
when they change them--when they "better them," will you still buy them? Will
you still hear: "Anything for you."?
I could write tons about shoes, just about all brands. Gosh, I tried
just about every brand, from expensive ones to the very inexpensive ones from Payless
shoes. But, I think I can speak from experience when I say
that a great shoe, is great only if it delivers the promise to you that you are asking
from them. Racing flats, motion control, cushion shoes, on and on and on...
You know what is best for you, only you, only your feet can decide what is the best
fit--the best friend for your feet.
The one that will tell you those magic words, "Anything for you," "Anything for
your feet," and the one pair that will keep the promise. Basically, only you
can tell what is best for you, but if you need help narrowing the search, I know for
sure that the guys at Urban Athletics know their stuff and can help you find that
"Promise" again.
So my running friends, I hope you are able to find and keep YOUR "Nike Frees 5.0"
much longer than I did. As for me, I will miss them forever...or I
will have to succumb to the 3.0s.
And as always, remember:
�Trip a Kenyan

Zander By Miles Harter
Mostly good news about dietary fat! Fat is terrific for providing energy (nine
calories per gram); protecting internal organs (especially important for runners);
helping transport Vitamins A, D, E, and K (stored in the liver and fat cells); and
promoting healthy skin and hair.
Some fat terminology is simply based on chemistry. Fat consists of "fatty acid
chains," made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. One type of chain, where there
is a hydrogen atom connected to a carbon atom at every place in the chain, so there are
no spaces in the chain, that fat is "saturated" with hydrogen. On the other hand,
if the chain does not have a hydrogen atom at every space, it is considered
"unsaturated." A fat molecule is monounsaturated if it contains only one of those
spaces, and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one of those spaces. Olive
oil is a good source of monounsaturated fats and most other vegetable oils are good
sources of polyunsaturated fats.
With the polyunsaturated fats, they are liquid at room temperature and vulnerable to
becoming rancid. This is where the idea of "transfats" comes in.
Manufacturers (especially of muffins, crackers, and cookies) make unsaturated vegetable
oil more solid, preserving their shelf life, by "blowing" hydrogen gas into that
unsaturated fat. But there is an unintended consequence: the new fat
molecule is so distorted that the body cannot easily break it down, leading to a higher
risk of heart disease. So beware of a food on which the label says "partially
hydrogenated oil." Also, even if food does contain transfat, if there is less than
a half gram of transfat per "serving," the label need not indicate this sorry
fact. And "servings" can be surprisingly small!
Bottom line: We all must eat fat, regardless of whether it is saturated or
unsaturated. With unsaturated fats, we should focus on the flaxseed or fish oil in
Omega-3 fatty acids -- the Omega-3 name is also based on the chemical composition of the
fatty acid chain. How much fat we eat depends, as always, on our own
bioindividuality. The ONLY fat we always must avoid is transfat. Rachel

When did you start running?
I was a division one swimmer all the way through my college career, so I have been
running as part of my swim training, which is twelve years. Other than training and
running to stay in shape for the off season, I would run a 5k every so often.
You recently ran your very first Reach The Beach with the Women’s Full Team. Would you
do it again? I can say without a doubt I will do it again. In fact, I want to do
the one this coming spring. I am even considering doing this next one on an ultra team.
What is your favorite distance or race? I have only really done two types of races,
5k and reach the beach. Reach the Beach was my absolute favorite, but I mostly have done
5k.
What is your relationship status? Single
How do you spend your days (i.e., what do you do to pay the rent)? I spend my days
doing business to business customer service. Right now, the client I work for is an
energy supply manufacturer. Basically, I lower people’s ConEdison bills. I also
spend my days going to graduate school. I’m getting a Masters Degree from City College
where I’m studying psychology.
Besides running, what else do you like to do for fun? I do a lot of art. Right now,
my art mostly consists of charcoal and graphite drawings but I also enjoy painting very
much.
Many might have noticed that you run in Vibram Five Fingers (VFF). How long have you
been running barefoot? I have owned my VFF for almost a year now, before that I
wore strictly asics. And more recently yet, within the past couple weeks, I have gone
completely barefoot! I feel better when I run barefoot than when I run in shoes.
�
What is one thing you would like to share that might surprise your fellow Front
Runners? I was declared dead and shocked back to life. Long story short, I was
swimming with my cousin, who is one year older. I was allowed in the deep end cause I
had taken lessons, but she was not cause she had not taken lessons. She came over to me
in the deep end, and because she could not swim, tried to hold on to me and ended up
holding me underwater to keep herself afloat. No one saw what was going on until some
time later and they ended up saving her and me. Soon after that I started swimming
competitively. And now I run competitively. By Dave Lin
You’ve seen him at all our First Fridays. He seems to always have a cocktail
in his hand and a big, wide grin on his face. But Anthony Ng, a stalwart
of the FRNY social scene, is about more than just having fun.
Born and raised in the very same one bedroom apartment on the edge of Chinatown where he
lives today, Anthony is a native New Yorker through and through. The younger
of two sons born to garment-factory workers who spoke little to no English, Anthony has
gone through life being independent, trying to improve the world around him, and
bringing joy to the people in his life.
He describes his upbringing in New York as "sheltered." "I never had friends
over," nor was he allowed to go outside and play, or attend sleepovers. To
say Anthony’s parents were overprotective of him would be an understatement. And it
didn’t help that Anthony grew up in his older brother’s shadow.
"He was the athletic one," says Anthony, describing his brother as gifted in both in
baseball and basketball. As the overweight kid brother, Anthony had to deal
with the constant teasing, enduring names like "fei nu," a Chinese term meaning "fat
woman." At the time, Anthony weighed about 200 pounds.
High school, however, provided an opportunity for Anthony’s individuality to
blossom. As a member of the Baruch College Campus High School’s very first
graduating class, Anthony was one of only 90 students. He found himself very
involved in high school, where he started the Multicultural Society at
BCCHS. He then found religion and was attending church regularly, and later
formed his high school’s Christianity Club.
By senior year, Anthony started to discover his sexuality, which caused him to struggle
with his religion. "I prayed to God to accept me for who I
was." He soon discovered the chat rooms of AOL, and was able to reach out to
other gay people to help him deal with his sexual orientation.
After he started at Hamilton College in upstate New York, despite the gay
community on campus, Anthony continued to struggle with his sexuality. It was a long
process of coming out, but towards his senior year, Anthony was out and
proud. He even became the coordinator of the Hamilton LGBT organization ("I
did the same thing that Megan does with FRNY," he jokes).
After Hamilton, Anthony decided he wanted to put his talents to use bettering
society. So he enrolled in the Peace Corps and was sent to Guyana in South
America. "I was a Health Advocate," he says, "assigned to a village to
educate the Guyanese to be more health conscious." Part of Anthony’s role was
to educate villagers about HIV/AIDS prevention.
The stint in Guyana turned out to be more difficult than Anthony had
imagined. "You have to have a lot of patience, because you’re completely
immersed in the community." Being away from home, dealing with the constant
exposure to illness and poverty, and struggling to embrace his gay identity, in a place
where it was unheard of, Anthony decided to end his post after five
months. So in 2006, Anthony returned to New York and started back at the job
where he worked a few months before he left--as an office administrator in a doctor’s
office. He continues to work there to this day.
Living in New York after college was certainly different from growing up as a child
here. One of the first things he did when he came back to the city was to
seek out gay organizations. At first he joined the gay volleyball league
Gotham, and then one day in 2007, he and a friend came to Front Runners
together. But after feeling like he wasn’t able to keep up during the fun
run, he didn’t come back.
It was a year later, in April 2008, that Anthony decided to give FRNY another
try. This time, he came to a Wednesday night fun run when Koach Kelsey
happened to announce an upcoming meeting for the outdoor training season. Not
being one to shy away from anything, and with some encouragement from then President
Mikey B and former President Michael O, Anthony went to the meeting, and "learned all
�about VO-2 max and lactic threshold training," and he jumped right into the
workouts. Before he knew it, Anthony became a four-day-a-week Front
Runner. "I really got into running," Anthony recalls, "no one else ran my
pace, but I stuck with it."
And stick with it he did! Although he had just started running in 2008, by
2009, Anthony had decided that he was going to run all of the NYRR Club Points Races
(except the Marathon, which he didn’t get into, but volunteered for
instead), and all five half-marathons in the NYRR Grand Prix
Series. On top of that, he ran Reach the Beach and the Philadelphia
Marathon--all in 2009!
But that didn’t mean the runs came easy to him. After running his first two
half-marathons at an 8:21, and then an 8:16 pace, Anthony decided he was going to break
the 8:00 mile barrier. With the help of a support crew that included Koach
Kelsey, Cenk, Bernd, Ray-K, and Walter, Anthony set out to hit that goal in the 2009
Bronx Half. Despite the encouragement of his FRNY teammates, the notoriously
difficult course took the better of him, and left Anthony with a disappointing 8:37
pace. But Anthony just picked himself up and tried again, and again, and
again. An 8:59 in Brooklyn, followed by a 9:00 pace in Queens (one day after
Reach the Beach) and a painfully close 8:07 at Grete’s. But then it happened,
in October 2009. It was the day of the Blue Line Run, but Anthony had other
things on his mind: he was determined to meet his goal at the Staten Island
Half. And that’s when he did it, finishing the race in 1:44:05, a 7:56 pace!
That thrill of victory indeed set off a love affair Anthony has had for distance
running. After running the Philadelphia Marathon in 2009, Anthony decided to
train for an Ultramarathon, and set his sights on the following year’s Knickerbocker
60K. In the process of training for the 37.2 mile race, Anthony "accidentally" PR’d at
the New York City Marathon, shaving a whopping 40 minutes off of his Philly time with an
enviable 3:40:26. Two weeks later, he ran Knickerbocker in 6:08:09 (9:53
pace), being one of only 209 runners to tackle the grueling nine-loop course.
What’s on his racing calendar now? The Victoria (Canada) Marathon on October
9, the New York City Marathon on November 6, and the Knickerbocker on November 19 (he’s
trying for sub-6 hours this time). But most importantly, he wants to be
healthy, says Anthony, "After the Philadelphia Marathon in 2009, I was injured for six
months, with a stress fracture in my left tibia."
But how did Anthony get into Ultras? He has Front Runners to thank for that:
Patrick Guilfoyle piqued his interest, and then Tim Guscott hooked him up with a
training plan. In addition, he credits his fantastic finish at Knickerbocker
to all of his "stars" aligning that day: the many, many Front Runners who paced him,
cheered for him, and encouraged him along those 37.2 miles. "If there is ever
a chance that I can repay you in some way," he wants everyone to know, "please do not
hesitate to ask."
Running, though, isn’t all that Anthony does for FRNY. For the past two
years, Anthony has been serving on the Board of Directors as Treasurer. "I
wanted to give back to the club in a concrete way," he explains as his decision for
joining the Board.
But when pressed for some juicy details of his board experience, Anthony is
uncharacteristically mum. Anything to say about his hotly contested election
for Treasurer in 2009? Nope. Thoughts about the leadership styles
of the two different FRNY presidents he’s worked
with? Silence. Controversial Board actions? Nada.
One thing he’s happy to talk about, though, is his role on the Social
Committee. "I love working with Sandi and Timmy." He’s also proud
of his role in taking the First Fridays to new and exciting venues, including straight
bars like Desire in the West Village and the Bohemian Beer Garden in Astoria.
But, alas, all good things must come to an end. "I’m definitely leaving the
Board next year," says Anthony, who plans to go back to school to pursue a Masters
Degree in Social Work. It is a field that has personal significance to Anthony, who for
the past four years has volunteered every month to counsel victims of domestic
violence. Although he hasn’t applied for schools yet, he is spending the next
year to focus on other things in his life. Anthony expects to quit his job at the end of
January, after which he will travel, work on his grad school applications, and most
importantly--spend time with his family.
�"My mom was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer last year," explains Anthony. He
learned about the diagnosis in the days before leaving for the Gay Games in
Cologne. Although it has been a difficult time for him, Anthony says that it
was through running and the support of his FRNY friends that he’s been able to cope with
his mom’s illness. "You can just run and forget about the world," he
reflects. These days, Anthony’s parents are both retired, having moved out of
the apartment in Chinatown into a house in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn; Anthony diligently
makes the trek to meet them for dinner every week. It’s in his mother’s
honor, he says, that he has decided to pursue graduate studies.
Although he’s not sure where he’ll end up studying social work, he thinks it’s a 50/50
chance that he will leave New York. "If I don’t do it now when I’m 28, I
won’t be able to do it as I get older." Wherever he ends up, we can be sure
that Anthony will be working hard to improve the lives of those around him, either
through his counseling and education work, or by just sharing a cocktail and a laugh
with his friends. FRNY Board Meeting: Tonight All members in good

Volume XXVIII Issue 11 Congratulations on the many successes of last weekend’s
marathon! Special thanks to the organizers of our events: Matt Kovich and Gemma Sanz de
la Serna (pasta dinner) and Mike McMahon and Dave Laurence (pancake breakfast). Extra
special congratulations go to Jennifer Wisdom and Argus Galindo who took the 24-mile
water station to a new level this year by taking on the task of staffing it completely
with Front Runners and our friends (from Crux, the Dashing Whippets, TNYA, Vancouver
Front Runners, and others). NYRR, its vendors, and many runners noted that our water
station was one of the cleanest, best organized, and most pleasant to run through. Many
thanks to the volunteers who helped make that happen. With the marathon behind us,
we move into the last part of the 2011 FRNY calendar, which includes not only the
elections for the 2012 board, membership renewal, but also preparations for FRNY’s
Annual Awards Night. Ten years ago Michael Orzechowski started a grand FRNY
tradition by holding the first Awards Night. On Saturday, January 21, 2012 we will
celebrate the accomplishments of the club and of individual members at our tenth annual
Awards Night at Union Theological Seminary, 3041 Broadway at 121st Street. Please save
the date; ticket information will be available next month. In the meantime, please
consider nominating your teammates for FRNY’s 2011 awards, using this online form. Your
nominations will be read by FRNY’s race captains, coaches, and 2011 board members.
Nominations are due by November 25. The final voting for all awards is made by the
2011 in a private session after the rest of club business is discussed at the December 4
board meeting. The club has accomplished so many amazing things in competition, as
volunteers, and in terms of personal goals in the past year. As you might imagine, there
are many excellent nominees every year, and these decisions are incredibly difficult.
Your input is extremely valuable to the board, please consider nominating those whom you
have noticed doing great things this year. Additionally, as we approach 2012, the
board is proposing a big change to FRNY’s points award system for next year in order to
encourage participation and smart racing and reflect the competition, participation and
team spirit and exposure of FRNY in and around the New York City area. The board invites
your comments and feedback on the new system now through November 25. Click here to fill
out a short questionnaire. A final decision will be made at that board meeting on how to
shape the FRNY points system for 2012. Wishing you all the
best, Megan Jenkins And the candidates are...

again!!The Indoor Training season at the Armory is for everyone! It doesn’t matter if
your goal is to run a 4:30 mile or a 4:30 marathon! The workouts will be interval
workouts where we run for a specified amount of time, take a break, and then start
again. It’s a great way to increase speed, build strength, and improve form. What
if I am training for a marathon this Spring?Then the Armory workouts are designed just
for you! We will work on increasing your speed during the early weeks of marathon
training. Then we’ll move into tempo running, and finally marathon-paced running. Speed
work is essential for proper marathon training. What if I am new to
running?Then the Armory workouts are designed just for you! These workouts are geared to
help beginning runners with more intense workouts to help jumpstart your speed and
fitness. What if I’ve never run on a track?Then the Armory workouts are designed
just for you! In the beginning, we’ll review proper track etiquette. You’ll be a pro in
no time! What if I don’t plan on racing a track meet? Then the Armory workouts are
designed just for you! That’s OK. Hopefully, you’ll change your mind, but if you don’t,
the Armory is a great place to run indoors during the cold evenings in the winter with
some of your Front Runner friends. What if my goal is to improve my 5 mile
time?Then the Armory workouts are designed just for you! There are so many workouts that
can benefit road racers at all distances. Measuring your pace every 200 meters will help
diagnose your strong and weak points in racing. So, in case you haven’t figured it
out, the workouts at the Armory are designed for every individual. So, come try it out!
And if that hasn’t convinced you yet, think about all of the hot and sweaty guys and
girls who’ll be there!! Come to the Informational meeting at Tuesday evening
(TONIGHT!), Nov 8 at 7 pm at the offices of Harlem United, 306 Lenox Avenue, 3rd Floor
or contact Koach Kelsey at klouie@harlemunited.org.
By Mike Terry and Rachel Cutler
This fall, Rachel and I are proud and excited to be earning our USA Triathlon (USAT)
Level 1 coaching certifications. The certification process is a fantastic
opportunity to support the club’s growth and visibility--and it will also help enhance
our programming for the club. We’ve already got lots of ideas percolating for
2012! Tuition for the coaching certifications was covered in full by a grant from
USAT for growing multisport clubs--it’s an honor that FRNY was selected!
To kick off the certification process, Rachel and I both attended three-day coaching
clinics in Chicago and Philadelphia. World-class Level III coaches (the ones who
train elite and Olympic-caliber athletes) lectured us on race nutrition, training plans,
technique drills, injury prevention, mental skills, and exercise physiology.
Following the clinics, Rachel and I began the lengthy examination process. We’ll
complete our certifications this winter-in time for us to plan for spring training.
�So what’s in it for the club? You can look forward to more multisport-specific clinics,
workouts, races, and training trips in 2012! In particular, we’ll be leveraging
our skills to support our athletes training for the Jersey Pride Triathlon in July and
Ironman New York City in August.
Come give FRNY Multisport a ’tri’ next summer! "Fathead" is a funny and educational new
documentary, focusing primarily on cutting-edge nutrition ideas. I highly recommend the
film, with a couple of caveats.... "Fathead" is an autobiographical rejoinder (by
the pudgy comic Tom Naughton) to the hugely popular "Super Size Me," the story of Morgan
Spurlock’s month-long diet of only McDonald’s food and the deleterious effects of this
eating regimen on both his body and mind. Spurlock also comically explored the fast food
industry’s pervasive (and negative) corporate influence. In "Fathead," Naughton’s
premise is that Spurlock’s downfall was his ingesting the simple sugars, grains, and
Cokes at McDonald’s. So Naughton embarked on a similar journey, this time eliminating
the bread, desserts, and sweetened drinks, but eating the burgers, fries, McNuggets, and
salads. And all of his key health indicators improved. Naughton does a
good job in explaining basic nutrition principles. He relies on sound science in
explaining how saturated fat became the culprit for so many years, wrongly so.
Basically, in the 1950’s, one scientist distorted the results of a study, and his
writings led to the demonization of fat for the next generation. The bottom line is that
so many health disorders (such as obesity, heart disease, and high blood pressure) stem
from a disturbance in the levels of a critical hormone, insulin, and an overabundance of
sugar and grains creates this disturbance. Instead, we need to focus on increasing both
our fat and protein intake. Now, my caveats. Unfortunately, Naughton doesn’t spend
enough time discussing the "bad" fat in fries, and he drinks far too many diet sodas,
which can also create health problems. His sarcasm in vilifying both
vegetarians and the government’s role in promoting nutrition policy is also way over the
top. Still, I wish I had come up first with the idea for the movie. We shall
see if I can come up with something better. Meanwhile, "Fathead" is available on DVD and
Netflix streaming.
All members in good standing are invited to attend all FRNY board meetings. The next
board meeting will be 7 PM on Monday, November 14 at the home of Matt Kovich (N.B. the

meeting are here.
A preliminary draft of the November board meeting agenda is here. Please RSVP and
suggest additional items to Megan. CRAIG GOODWIN New Member since June 25, 2011
What first brought you to Front Runners New York and what inspired you to join during
this past Pride Weekend? I was looking for a running club and Front Runners seemed
to be the natural choice. I found FRNY through the New York Road Runners
website. I was inspired to join by seeing how much fun Front Runners were
having at the parade!
When did you first start running? I started running in July 2010.
What is your favorite distance or race? I really enjoy the 10k distance, but after
running the Staten Island Half Marathon I can see that distance becoming my favorite
very soon.
What is/are your running goal(s)? I will complete a marathon in 2012. I also
want to get my pace down to less than 10:00 per mile.
I see you also like to participate in Monday night swim, have you also competed in swim
events or a Tri? I learned how to swim in summer camp when I was 16 years old. I
have always loved it. I have yet to compete in a swim event because I have been
building up my endurance. I plan on participating in a one-hour swim in January
and completing at least one sprint triathlon next year. What is your relationship
status? I have been with my wonderful partner, Arturo, for almost five years.
When I came home from my first race he said, "So, did you win?" Of course I said,
"Yes."
How do you spend your days (i.e., what do you do to pay the rent)? I manage the
Wendy’s restaurant on 165th Street and Broadway in Washington Heights.
Recently, you shared on Facebook that you are officially off diabetes and high blood
pressure medication. How long had you been taking them? In 2005, I was 310
pounds and by 2007 I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and high
cholesterol. I was taking about seven different medications every day.
In 2010, when I saw that I was spending $7000 per year on medications, I made a
commitment that I would stop living that way and get off the meds. I saw results
very quickly. After three months, I was able to stop taking insulin and now
after a year I was able to stop taking all of the other medications. Although I
still have to lose about 50 pounds, I am very healthy. My doctor says that my
heart is in excellent shape and my resting heart rate is in the high 40s.
I never realized how poor my health really was until I became athletic. I have so
much energy now to do everything I want to do. When I started running, people
�actually told me that I would not be able to do it. After all, I was never
athletic in my entire life! Now I just dare someone to tell me I can’t do
something. I’ll prove them wrong every time. (photo courtesy of Tom Henning)
PERSONAL RHYTHM Matt Tivy traded celebrity for solidity. Now he’s on his own
determined cadence to a dream life - by Fred Pfaff.
Matt Tivy in his chef coat.
You may not know him yet, but he’s already made you smile. That is, if you’ve been at
any number of FRNY catered functions in the past decade. There’s no doubt FRNY is the
best fed running club in Manhattan, and Matt Tivy is the reason. For more than 10 years,
Matt has been bringing 4-star touch to the club for next to nothing and a nod.
"I haven’t done that much for the club really," says the 50-year-old, blond marathoner.
Try telling that to his friends.
"I don’t buy that at all!" yells longtime friend and former race director T.J. Storch.
"Make sure you let people know how much Matt has done for Front Runners," insists pal
Phil Wahba.
"He’s done so much for the club, year in year out on an unsung basis," says former FRNY
president Mike McMahon. "Matt’s an example that you don’t have to hold an office to give
meaningfully to Front Runners."
All told, Matt has produced, catered, or assisted with well over 40 FRNY events,
including five variety shows, and at least five pre-marathon pasta dinners and pancake
breakfasts. His calendar’s full on a slow day, but he always finds a way to get one more
done. If it’s a sweat, he’s not showing it.
Untrained marathon
That was the story yesterday in the 2011 New York Marathon, which he ran against
doctor’s orders, partner’s pleading, and friends’ admonitions. Last year a routine
physical detected a heart valve condition that deteriorates with prolonged or intense
exercise. This summer his doctor told him not to do the marathon. He hadn’t run more
than 5 miles since June, instead going to the gym four days a week to row, run or bike
for half an hour (read: total weekly run mileage just 4-8 miles). But he felt so good on
a 4-miler in mid-October in Riverside Park that he just decided he had to be on the
Verrazano Bridge on November 6.
"I’ll walk a bit, jog a bit, but I’ll be out there just to participate," he told me two
weeks ago. "I just love the experience so much, and this will probably be my last one."
Yesterday, he passed the FRNY-run 24 Mile Water Station in Central Park completely
focused, running tall and looking straight ahead. He didn’t stop for water because he
couldn’t afford to break stride. And, well, he wanted to make a statement. He crossed
the line in 3:52, 20 minutes behind his PR but miles ahead of anyone’s expectations.
"When I got into Brooklyn, I thought, ’this feels right!’" Matt told me on Monday, the
day after the marathon, after a nap and 12-hour sleep. "Then I turned in a great half
and I thought, ’you can do under 4 hours, so you have to go for it.’"
Running the 2009 Brooklyn Half with longtime partner Keith Jameson showed Matt he could
run a long distance without training, so long as he kept the pace smooth and slow. And
years of experience have him convinced that he’s better when he goes out faster than
coaches advise; he gets confidence from having fast miles "in the bank."
"I was not happy at all about Matt doing the race," says Keith. "But he makes his own
song, always. He’s completely individual, which is what I love most about him. So I had
to support his going for one last hurrah."
This might not be the last hurrah, though. Emboldened, Matt aims to plot an
unconventional training schedule for the 2013 New York Marathon and enroll his doctor in
it. In this case, unconventional means avoiding the rigor of high-mileage weeks
punctuated by hill and interval workouts.
For a man who knows his instrument and isn’t afraid to wail 100%, who knows? Besides, he
might not be able to resist one-upping Phil Wahba one more time. In 2009, Phil
out-trained him but Matt beat him by nearly 10 minutes. This year, Phil got a shock at
the medals area. "What are you doing here?" he yelled, followed almost instantly by,
"You bitch!" (For those unfamiliar, this ranks as the ultimate compliment between them.)
From stardom to stability
It’s 4:30 on a sparkling Sunday afternoon in October, and yet already an early dinner
crowd is ambling in to Caf? du Soleil at 104th and Broadway. Most have no idea the tall
blond Englishman facing me at a side table is the owner, let alone the chef with A-list
�pedigree and icons like Daniel Boulud and Alain Ducasse on his speed dial. When I
acquiesce to escargots-it’s hard for an owner chef to sit with a guest for long without
offering him food-he quietly gets up and approaches a waiter at the bar. No gestures of
influence.
It wasn’t always this way. He’s gained a humbler perspective since trading stardom for
stability.
Fast start: Chef Matthew at age 3.
From the moment he could distinguish flavor, Matthew began a love affair with food. By
10, he was pushing his mother to teach him to make his favorites. That summer, "Matt’s
Place" opened on the Tivys’ back patio, with 3-cent items including PB&J and Campbell’s
chicken noodle soup. At 15, he was working in a restaurant kitchen. When he graduated
high school, he headed straight for Culinary Institute of America.
He started as a sous chef for a little French inn in the Berkshires and quickly replaced
his alcoholic boss. When that place closed after the owner suffered a stroke, he became
the first chef of Blantyre, a Relais Chateau property in the Berkshires. After two years
at the summertime resort-he wintered as a private Chef in the Caribbean and at top-level
restaurants in Strasbourg, France-he was itching for the big time. So Mark Sarazin, a
celebrated butcher, took the 24-year-old to lunch with Daniel Boulud, who hired him on
the spot as a sous chef at his new Plaza Athenee hotspot.
When Matthew got antsy again 18 months later, Daniel set him up as the chef of Maurice
in the Parker Meridien. But Maurice only lasted six months, and a gig as Executive Chef
at the reborn QV restaurant another six months. So Matthew took the summer off to
operate a catering service for Tanglewood. He returned to Manhattan to work for magnate
Brian McNally (Odeon, Indochine). While overseeing the kitchen design of the soon to
open Royalton restaurant, Matthew stepped in to rescue McNally’s newly opened open Canal
Bar. After the celebrity outscored the food on opening night, McNally woke Matt with a
panicked call. "It was a disaster," he cried. "Nobody even mentioned the food!"
Matt put a new menu together, and Canal Bar reopened three days later. It was slammed
from the start. When McNally’s next venue dulled the sheen on Canal two years later,
Matthew redid ManRay in Chelsea.
Celebrity came with a high cost, though. The work was all consuming, and it was a way to
hide from what Matt needed most: coming to terms with himself. "I thought I was God’s
gift to the kitchen back then," he says. "I put everything into my work and career so I
didn’t have to acknowledge or face what I knew to be there."
Out and true
He’d long been attracted to men, but his only two one-night-stands-in high school and
after culinary school-left him so ashamed he couldn’t do it again. During his Tanglewood
summer, he’d met Jen, a vivacious blonde Columbia student who was a former high school
track star. They ended up married, with Matt "putting everything into making that work
to avoid coming out." When the marriage started to unravel, Jen urged him into therapy
to save the relationship. He was so bound up he came out to his therapist in a letter,
but he got it done. Jen went on to marry another Englishman, and Uncle Matt is a
favorite with her four kids.
The breakup cleared the way for a life. Ultimately. Matt took a job at La Cremaeliere in
Westchester, using the well-staffed, routine venue as the foundation for a new, stable
personal life. Being too shy for the bar scene and wanting a younger guy-"I felt I’d
totally missed the boat in that part of my life"-he joined a 20-Something group at The
Center. Then a youthful looking 34, he met a 24-year-old attorney, had a brief
relationship, and then met with frustration on the dating scene. He joined Front Runners
in 1994 hoping for a boyfriend, but discovered running and community instead.
Two friends had met partners through personal ads, so he plunked down $250 on a New York
classified. The most intriguing of the 25 letters with photos he got back was from an
opera singer named Keith. They roller-bladed in Central Park, then dined at Caf?
Luxembourg, and then started dating in earnest. Their age difference-Keith is six years
younger-bothered Matt until his therapist asked, "Why don’t you just do what you want
for a change?"
He did. And he’s pretty much been doing it ever since. He and Keith have been together
15 years now, and have lived together since 2005. Typical of a Matt endeavor, their
relationship takes extra effort. When the job calls, Keith has to fly. Last year, that
meant nearly 11 months away from New York. Matt flies out to meet him as much as
possible-last year in Santa Fe, Los Angeles and Chicago-and Keith bargains retreats when
he has a few days clear (he’s building it into his contracts now). The two got to take
an extended vacation together this summer, at long last, heading through England and
�Italy for two and a half weeks. Luckily, Keith just landed an annual contract with The
Metropolitan Opera that will keep him in New York fulltime starting next September.
"I always said I’d never date another singer, because singers are crazy," says Keith.
"Lucky for me, Matt’s good but he’s not a pro. He’s chef crazy, which is just different
enough. And he’s so loving and loyal."
Their relationship has opened the door to dreams for both. With Matt’s support, Keith
went from a day job doing admin for Travelers to a first-rate tenor on the classical
circuit. With his deepest needs met, Chef Matthew progressed through a series of solid
jobs-running La Cremalliere for six years, Chez Louis in Rockefeller Center for two,
Metro Diet for two-on the way to his dream of his own bistro. "After all the ups and
downs of hot restaurants, I decided I need something more secure," he says.
"Popularity-driven, homey cooking is more sustainable than critically acclaimed menus."
Caf? du Soleil opened in 2005 and instantly filled a need in the neighborhood below
Columbia. Although a pizza place across Broadway didn’t work out, Matt and business
partner Alain Chevreux now own the successful Chez Lucienne, on Harlem’s hot new
Restaurant Row at 125th and Lenox, next to Red Rooster and Sylvia’s. Coming off a PR
year despite the recession, they’re now heating up Soleil Caterers, which will soon add
FRNY weddings to its calendar of corporate and personal events. Matt’s place has become
the Upper West Side celebration venue for Front Runners. And, naturally, Soleil Caterers
is the first call for official FRNY events. No matter how busy Soleil gets, there’s
always room for the club.
Running for keeps
"I love Front Runners," says Matt. "I love the group and what we represent in the gay
community. When I put a Front Runner jersey on in the front pack, I’m going to do the
best I possibly can."
Before Sunday’s example, Matt had given it his all in more than 50 NYRR events,
including the 2007 and 2009 NY Marathons. In 2007, he targeted 3:45 but went out much
faster and maintained it, coming in at 3:32 even with a bathroom break. In 2009, he
stayed with the 8:00 pace group until a tight hamstring slowed him up to 3:33. 2011 was
to be his ticket to Boston.
"I could have trained for the marathon and tried to PR," he says. "But it would just
wear out the valve faster, and it’s an open heart surgery. I don’t go into the victim
mentality, I just think, ’Let me avoid the surgery as long as I can.’"
Whether there’s another marathon (or three) in his future, Matt figures to keep running
in his life. He’ll do Pride Run as a fun run, and join the club on Saturdays in the
park. Being outside with everything rolling in stride counts for something. Don’t look
for the chef to be anything but lean, as he’s dedicated to core training, and he’s as
good on the rower and the tennis court as he is on the roads.
"Marathon running makes me feel like I can get through anything," he says. "Before my
first one, I couldn’t imagine doing something that taxing for that long. Now I know I
can just put my head down and get through tough stuff, whether it’s physical or mental
or emotional."
Uh huh.
So much energy emanates from his 6’ frame that I don’t doubt him when he says he wants
to find another intense outlet. It could be a music business of sorts. His mother sang
professionally, and Matt studied guitar, oboe and music in high school and for a year
after in England. He leads a band of talented musicians, Evil Prince Ludwig The
Indestructible, through covers of tougher Seventies to current pop rock. Anything but
the usual cover band stuff, the band shines on intricate harmonies. Whether the gig is
at Cafe du Soleil or The Bitter End, the audience is largely faithful family and friends
out to see people they like playing stuff pretty well.
"I miss music when I’m not playing it," Matt says. "But we don’t play that often and I
never had the discipline to try to do it as a profession. I would like to incorporate
music into my catering. It might different music and food packages, like a private
dinner with a jazz trio. I’m just building a catering website now, and I can see a food
and music pairing section."
Bet on it. Matt doesn’t dawdle on ideas, and he’s run through risk a time or two. Just
because the next thing hasn’t manifested doesn’t mean it’s not in full motion.
"Doing what you like to do the way you like to do it, that’s success to me," says Matt.
"That’s what I strive for. It’s not easy. I have to keep refining because life
intervenes. But I get to love all of my life today."

Volume XXVIII Issue 5 Thank goodness spring is finally arriving in New York City! This
week marks the first FRNY outdoor workouts, with an expanded schedule, including a hill
workout, two strength-building workouts, and two track workouts each week, in addition
to our perennial Saturday and Wednesday fun runs, and our newly launched pilot program
in yoga for runners. Before you know it, the long run coordinators will be gearing us up
for the fall marathon season. Our multisport coordinators and coaches kept us
moving all winter in the pool and in spin class, and now they are taking us outside for
bike rides and taking us on the road for triathlons, open-water swims, and organized
bike rides. With the onset of spring, FRNY enters its busiest season -- not
only because training swings into full gear, but also because Pride Run season is just
about upon us. In 2011, our 30th Pride Run, we expect a record number of people
running the Pride Run, including our very own beginners clinic participants who have
been training for the Pride Run since March. This month will see the annual Pride
Run kick-off brunch on May 22 at the home of Rob Lennon and Mark Gilrain (stay tuned to
the Gram for details!). The board of FRNY is pleased to announce a
great partnership with the It Gets Better Project, who will receive a substantial grant
from FRNY once the Pride Run proceeds are totaled. In return, the IGB Project, which was
founded last year by sex advice columnist and author Dan Savage and his partner Terry
Hecker, will help FRNY spread the word nationally about the Pride Run. Pride Run
Directors Gabriel Celis and Seth Richardson, have lots of plans that they are putting
into place to make the Pride Run a fabulous day for all participants! Whether
you are looking for social events, speed workouts, yoga, strength training, or fun runs,
FRNY has a lot going on for you this spring. All our events are listed on the FRNY
calendar. I hope to see you on the road, in the park, in the pool, or on the track this
season!Wishing you all the best,

Runners doing the Cape Relay (May 6 - 7) and the Northface Endurance Challenge (May
8)!by Kelsey LouieQuestion: Besides the obvious, what’s the difference between road
running and trail running? Koach Kelsey: One major benefit of trail running is that
it stresses more muscle groups than road running. Ankles, hips, adductors and
abductors (inner and outer thighs) and core muscles are engaged for balance.
Running on trails also engage the quads more, increasing leg strength. Follow these
tips for happy trails wherever you run: 1) When running on trails, keep your
head up and scan the terrain about 10 to 15 feet in front of you so you can plan your
steps around rocks, roots, branches, or dips. Try not to look down at your feet,
so you can see what’s coming. Keeping your head up will not only lead to a safer
�run, but also a more efficient running form. 2) Follow basic hill running
tips. On uphills, run tall and keep an eye at the crest or a few yards ahead,
not at your feet. This will allow your lungs to work at full capacity.
Shorten your stride and pump your arms a little harder. Plant your entire foot;
climbing on your toes kills your calf muscles. If you need to, go ahead and walk, while
keeping your posture tall. Even elite runners will walk a steep hill.
3) On the downhills, lengthen your stride. Don’t charge down the
hills, but don’t brake either -- both will cause your quads to burn. Land quickly
and lightly, and allow yourself to fly a little, throwing your arms to the side, but
don’t flail. If you lose control, slalom from side to side like a skier. 4) Jump
over obstacles when you can. Stepping up on unsteady rocks and roots is not only tiring,
it can be hazardous. 5) Focus on time, not distance. Don’t expect to match your
road PR. 6) Keep your bearings. Things look different coming back than
going. Pause to look around when two or more paths diverge from the one you’re on. Look
at trail signs and identify rocks, trees or landmarks on the horizon. 7) Get
proper trail running shoes. Trail running shoes sit lower than road shoes, with a harder
midsole to take the impact of the trail, protecting you from sharp rocks. They provide
greater ankle support to prevent rolling and more lateral support and flexibility for
uneven terrain. They have sturdier, stickier treads. 8) There are few options for
hydration, so consider bringing water with you. You can use fuel belts or just
carry a water bottle. By Emily Meyers

Now that spring has finally sprung, what more inspiration could you need to run than
warm temperatures and sunny skies? A new training partner never hurts. Even
better if that new partner keeps impeccable time, tracks your pace, and reminds you of
your workouts. Although nothing can replace the companionship of a running buddy,
or the expertise of Koach Kelsey, a Garmin GPS watch can help you stay motivated and
focused through the spring training season.
Garmin sets the industry standard for GPS devices. Urban Athletics stocks various
Garmin running-specific watches, all of which come either with or without a heart rate
monitor. All track pace, time, and record laps. The FR60 relies on a foot
pod, which I’ve found is less accurate than the GPS the others use. (Yes, the GPS
signal works just fine even surrounded by tall Manhattan buildings.)
The Forerunner 210 gives the best bang for your buck with features you’ll actually
use. It’s a round watch, big enough to read easily on the move, but won’t
overwhelm a small wrist. It displays a stopwatch, distance, and either current
pace, average pace, or speed. You can set it for intervals of time or
distance. You can rely on the accuracy of the GPS to track your pace through a
race, hold you steady on a tempo run, or measure specified intervals anywhere you like,
no track required.
All of these watches give you free access to the Garmin Connect web site where you can
upload your workouts and routes to share or review. Garmin’s software lets you
geek out to your heart’s content. The website will display, graph and log all your
stats. If you’re using one of the GPS-enabled models, it will also automatically
display your route laid over a Google map, even if you’re not running on roads.
For our May newsletter, Urban Athletics is offering the Forerunner 210 with heart rate
monitor for only $210 including tax (about $65 off of retail price with tax).
I’ll need those GPS-generated maps as I explore my new home. I regret that this
will be my last installment of Gadgets ’n Gear, and I hope that you’ve enjoyed reading
my columns even of fraction of the amount I’ve enjoyed writing them. I’m forever
grateful for the coaching, companionship and support I’ve enjoyed over the last two
years and hundreds of miles I’ve logged with FRNY. I’ll be back in NY when the
political winds change, but in the meantime, I encourage you to visit me in Washington,
DC, especially if you bring bagels.
Wishing you all the very best on and off the roads,
Emily It’s here -- the warm weather we’ve been dreaming about for months! We’ve
had beautiful cycling conditions over the last few weekends -- be sure to get out on 9-W
and enjoy these temperate mornings before the blistering heat of June and July
arrives. As we all head back out onto the roads (or attack them for the first
time) it’s important to remember five road biking essentials. Be sure to check all
of these off your list before you head out on your own:
1) Always wear a bike helmet. No excuses. Ever.
2) Be prepared for a flat by carrying a few items with you on your bike: - Spare tire
tube (be sure that it’s the correct size for your bike)
- Tire lever (Small, inexpensive plastic lever that plays a critical role in the
tube-changing process)
- Hand pump or disposable CO2 cartridges
�These items are best stored in a small "wedge" bag that ties to the bottom of your
saddle -- out of sight and out of mind, until you need them! Also be sure to learn
how to fix a flat, or at least ride with someone who knows how to do it while you’re
getting started.
3) Buy bike lights -- make yourself visible. Bicyclists own the streets of NYC in
the early hours of the morning. In order to take advantage of our early morning
rides, you’ll inevitably have to do some riding in low-light conditions. Purchase
bright lights (white in front, red in the rear) that strap to your frame and handlebars.
They will make you significantly more visible to cars and pedestrians.
4) Learn the etiquette. Know the rules of the road (remember, you’re a moving
vehicle in the eyes of the NYPD!) If you’re riding in a group, it’s important to learn
the basic hand signals for stopping, turning, and pointing out road hazards.
5) Once you’ve nailed the safety essentials above, it’s time to channel Koach Kelsey and
make sure that you’re looking maximally cute on your bike! Shop around for a bike
jersey and a good pair of biking shorts or tri shorts. (Triathlon shorts have less
padding, but are easier to run in if you plan to take on a triathlon this year.)
If your budget is tight, talk to Dan Gallagher -- a true cycling minimalist who has
ideas on how to turn just about any article of athletic clothing into suitable biking
gear.
Reach out to Mike, Rachel, or Dan if you’d ever like suggestions on where to shop and
what to buy. (There isn’t a cyclist in the world who doesn’t love to talk about
cycling gear!)
Tomer Benyair - by Sandi Rowe
Member since January 23, 2011Sandi Rowe: What first brought you to Front Runners and
what inspired you to join? Tomer Benyair: The first time I heard about Front
Runners was a year and a half ago from FRNY member Sean Weissbart and then again last
year from Dave Caraway. They both spoke very highly of the club! I’m not sure why it
took me so long to sign up but I’m really glad I did. Everyone I’ve met in the club
seems super nice, and I’m looking forward to meeting/running with more
members. SR: I recently sold you your first set of FRNY gear. What race did
you/will you unveil it? TB: I am planning to wear my new singlet/shorts at
the NJ Marathon (May 1).
SR: What is your favorite distance or race?
TB: My favorite distance is a marathon, long enough to feel like I’ve done something.
SR: What is the farthest distance you have traveled to run in a race?
TB: Paris Marathon, my favorite race so far.
SR: Do you have a motto for getting you through the rough patches (of tough
race)?
TB: Few more miles, and I get to eat a bagel and drink beer!
SR: What is/are your running goal(s) for 2011?
TB: I’m scheduled to run 15 marathons and 2 ultras in 2011.
SR: What is your relationship status?
TB: Single.
SR: How do you spend your days (in other words, what do you do to pay the rent)?
TB: Marketing and sales for a Diamond/Jewelry manufacturer.
SR: Some may know that you are from Israel. What brought you to the United States and
how long have you been in NYC?
TB: When I was 16 I came to NY with my family for a 2 week vacation. Ever since
then, I knew I wanted to move to America and live in NYC. It was the main reason why I
chose to study gemology -- because I knew it would be an easier transition from working
at the diamond district in Ramat Gan, Israel to finding a job sponsor in the USA.
I moved to New York 12 years ago.
SR: What is one thing you would like to share that might surprise your fellow
Front Runners?TB: I’m in such a NY rush that I buy pre-cooked hard-boiled eggs!

black pepperDirectionsHeat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the
onion and garlic and cook until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add the sauerkraut,
apple, and allspice, season with salt and a generous grinding of pepper. Cook until
sauerkraut is tender, lightly browned and all the liquid has evaporated, about 15
minutes more. Preheat broiler to low. If using the tempeh: Heat the vegetable
oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the tempeh, in batches as needed,
until crispy golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels. Spread some
�butter on 1 side of each slice of bread. Place 4 pieces, buttered side down, on a
foil-lined baking sheet. Spread some of the Russian dressing on the sides facing up.
Evenly lay the pickles, tempeh, sauerkraut, and then cheese on top. Place the open faced
sandwiched under the broiler and cook until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Remove
the baking sheet from the broiler. Spread the rest of the dressing on the uncovered side
of the 4 remaining bread slices, place on top melted cheese, buttered side up to finish
the sandwiches. Return to the broiler and toast sandwich, turning once so both sides get
nice and golden brown, about 2 minutes total, serve hot. Mike McMahon and Dave Laurence

STARTING TIGHT, STAYING CLOSE
Dave Laurence and Mike McMahon share the worst-kept secret in Front Runners New
York: how to forge a decades-long gay union that continues to embrace a widening circle
of Front Runner friends.
"They’re inseparable," explains FRNY pal TJ Jones. "It’s so wonderful to see two people
together who truly enjoy each other."
"They truly like each other -- not just love each other," adds their long-time buddy Joe
Criscione. "They really are each other’s best friend. I’ve never seen either one of them
put the other down." Dave and Mike’s knotty bond extends even to gustation, suggests
FRNY’s gourmet chef Matthew Tivy. When they dine out with friends, "they order two
dishes they both want to try and exactly half way through the plate they do a
switcheroo," Matthew reveals. "I’ve even seen them do that with their bagels and muffins
at FRNY Saturday breakfasts!" Mike and Dave met when they joined Front Runners in 1983,
soon after they moved to New York-Dave from Pennsylvania, Mike from the West Coast. They
shared a few post-fun-run Wednesday dinners at the American Diner, the FRNY hangout
adjacent to the Beacon Hotel, where Criscione reports he soon "saw sparks flying."
Before long they found themselves (perhaps not happenstancially) sitting thigh-to-thigh
on a Long Island Railroad ride to a Front Runner Jones Beach outing. Dave had already
signaled his special feelings, Mike discloses, by "bringing me home-made chicken soup
when I had a bad cold." Dave and Mike started sharing an address in 1984 with a test in
contraction other would-be life partners might try--if they are brave. Soon after Dave
moved from a one-bedroom on Brooklyn’s Prospect Place to "the smallest studio apartment
I have ever seen," Criscione says, Mike moved in with him. Dave didn’t have second
thoughts about cohabitation, but his eyes widened a mite when Mike arrived at the elfin
studio with a flotilla of boxed sundries he hadn’t opened since his journey from
California. "What did I get myself into?" Dave wondered (silently). "This apartment’s
really small and now there are two people--and lots of boxes--here. But it worked out."
Why? Besides sharing food, coffee, and a yen for road running? "We laugh a lot." Dave
offers. "We try not to take anything too seriously." And they do agree on other
interests, like travel, movies, and entertaining friends with home-cooked cuisine. (Dave
studied for a year at the French Culinary Institute in New York, and friends attest to
the toothsome results). Interests they did not share right off, they learned to share,
or at least to tolerate. Mike warmed up to Dave’s ardor for museum hopping, for treks
around town taking photos, and for lake swimming: Dave lured Mike into FRNY swim
training and then tri competition. But they also know how to draw the line--and live
happily on opposite sides. Dave loves hiking and climbing heights; Mike doesn’t. "I’m
not fond of bugs that love to bite me," Mike explains. Although they’ve tromped through
Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, and the Grand Canyon together, when Dave scampers up
rocky massifs, "I like to stay at the base camp," Mike confides. Another
incompatibility, Mike points out, is that "we can’t share all our clothes" because Dave
is a one or two sizes taller. That’s a disadvantage, Mike observes, because "Dave is the
more daring one and has more of the fun clothes in the family." Though Mike maintains
he’s still "quite challenged by open-water swimming," they’ve toughed through several
open-water triathlons together and have an Olympic-distance outing slated for May 21 in
Harriman State Park. Dave remains the stronger open-water swimmer, while Mike shines in
road races, routinely scoring for the FRNY Vets in points races. But when they met,
"Dave was the better runner and the more consistent runner," Mike divulges. Both attest
that they remain fierce competitors. Mike confesses that he gets wound tighter than a
mainspring before every race, and Dave parses results to see how he’s doing vis-?-vis
people who run at his pace and where he stands in age-graded rankings. For Mike, the
competition doesn’t have to be another Front Runner or another Vet. He competes with
himself, working to maintain a certain rare pace year after year. And sometimes he
competes with Clorox. Trying to reassure Mike about the Hudson River swim for the NYC
Triathlon last year, Front Runner Bob Nelson noted the swim portion of the race follows
the current, so even a Clorox bottle gets downstream easily. After the race, Mike
advised Bob, "yeah, but the Clorox bottle passed me." Dave has run the New York City
marathon three times and Mike once. Although they haven’t registered for 2011 yet, they
both can because they ran nine qualifying races in 2010 and volunteered. Dave, at least,
is tempted to tour the five boroughs one more time. "I’d like to see if it’s possible to
�do it under 4 hours," he says. The youngest of four siblings, Dave was born when his dad
was in his 50s, and the family’s contact with sports consisted mostly of watching them
on TV. Growing up and going to college in the only hyphenated city in the United States
(Wilkes-Barre, Pa), Dave never started running till he left town to take a retail job a
few counties south in Allentown. Noting some unwanted abdominal girth, he joined a
running group and took to the road. He tried something else new around the same
time-going to a gay bar. A friend at work "had her finger on me more than I had my
finger on myself," Dave recalls. She suggested a guys-only hangout he might enjoy, "and
I did have a good time-sort of an eye-opening experience." After two years Dave jumped
to a bigger retail chain, Gimbels, and a bigger city, Philadelphia. Front Runners Philly
didn’t exist in those days, but Dave kept running with friends, up and down the scenic
Schuylkill. Making his mark as a furniture display manager, Dave got noticed by New York
management, who lured him to Gotham with more money. Gimbels succumbed to
across-the-street rival Macy’s in 1987, but Dave had already moved on. Now he works as
showroom and sales manager for Walters Wicker, a high-end wholesale furniture company
catering to architects and designers. How Mike started running, came out, and came to
New York City takes a little longer to tell. If you don’t know Mike personally and
wonder why an Asian man has an Irish name, you probably guessed (correctly) that he was
adopted. His adoptive Irish-American father and adoptive Chinese mother met in Hong
Kong, where his dad worked in intelligence for Uncle Sam and his mom immigrated after a
series of tumultuous translocations starting in Shanghai, trekking to Nanking (now
called Nanjing), then fleeing again after the notorious Rape of Nanking by the Japanese
army in late 1937 and early 1938. Mike says her story reflects the ordeals of one
character in Amy Tan’s The Joy Luck Club. The small family’s peripatetic life continued
as Mike’s dad followed mostly government jobs to San Francisco, Baltimore (his dad’s
home town), Columbus, Ohio, and finally Los Angeles, where Mike grew up in the South Bay
area. Recruited onto the high-school cross-country team, Mike recollects overlong jaunts
to LAX and back and races that climaxed in mass emesis. "Everyone would tell you that if
you ran well, you threw up at the end," Mike remembers ruefully. He quit racing, tried
wrestling, but soon found he had enough time only for school and work, which became
mandatory when his dad died during his freshman year in high school. On his first job
Mike took tickets, popped popcorn, and peddled Good & Plenty at a movie theater in
Inglewood-close enough to Watts to attract gangs. When asked to show their tickets, gang
members would snap their Bic butanes and declare, "Here’s my ticket." Mike let them in.
But he got out when one gang rumble culminated in a trashcan flying through a front-door
window. "I was in one of the fringe crowds back in high school," Mike recalls. Going to
school, working, and taking care of his mom (who never learned much English) limited
Mike’s social life. He began to guess he might be gay only when he was in college at the
University of Southern California, where he earned a degree in business, marketing, and
finance. Mike’s work r?sum? began in aerospace out West, but soon landed in more a more
terrestrial profession -- advertising and marketing -- in New York. As his career
evolved, he found himself at a couple of Internet startups just as the 1990s Internet
bubble started to swell. When the bubble burst, he translated his sales and marketing
skills into the nonprofit world and fund raising, working first for the New York Gay and
Lesbian Anti-Violence Project. Now at the National Urban League, the pioneering civil
rights group founded in 1910 in New York City, Mike heads a move to develop e-giving
initiatives. He resumed running after college with postcollege roommates in West
Hollywood. Since the early 80s, Front Runners "has changed dramatically," Dave says. He
and Mike remember the era when then-president Steve Gerben showed up every Saturday with
a bag full of FRNY singlets and a minute of random announcements, followed by the days
of stuffing envelopes with monthly newsletters, or answering the FRNY phone machine that
resided in their apartment during Mike’s presidential tenure. Through nearly 30 years of
club synergy, what distinguishes Mike and Dave from other durable FRNY couples is their
unflinching commitment to the club. Mike has served on the FRNY board as director at
large, men’s vice president, and president (in 1995). TOgether, they’ve headed up
the membership committee, the clothing committee, and the election committee and
organized club outings. But friends say the most important aspect of their FRNY
membership remains their warm and ready outreach to runners new and not-so-new. TJ Jones
remembers meeting Dave and Mike when they invited him and Bernd Erpenbeck to dinner
after a First Friday social, then many times again to their Lincoln Towers apartment.
Mike and Dave "are committed to welcoming new people to the club and building lasting
friendships," says TJ. "For me this embodies what Front Runners New York is about on its
best day!" Dave voices some regret that long-time pals drifted away from FRNY over the
years -- often because they stopped running -- and wishes Front Runners who give up
circling Central Park in Sauconys would stay linked to the club through swimming or
biking or social revels. And Mike stresses the familial bounties of FRNY. "We’ve always
felt that the core of our friends have been from Front Runners," he says. "Biologically
or in terms of adoption, you don’t get to pick who your family is. But at Front Runners
you get to pick your family. And I can’t think of a better group of people to choose
from."

}; MARCH 2011
Volume XXVIII Issue 3 Stepping outside of one’s comfort zone and trying a new thing can
be intimidating. For experienced road runners, going to the track for the first can be a
terrifying prospect. And for people who are accustomed to the distances offered at the
track or in cross country races, their first 20-mile training run can seem daunting.
Adding in a whole new sport -- like swimming or biking -- and the experience can seem
overwhelming. Even joining Front Runners can be scary for newcomers. How else to
explain the six months it took for the March Newcomer of the Month, Jonathan Warner, to
finally officially join? (Just kidding, of course!) In all seriousness, whether
you are thinking of trying a marathon, a triathlon, sprinting, or even just running
around the block for the first time, FRNY has a program to support your first
efforts. For the second year in a row, we are offering a 3-month Beginners
Clinic to mentor new runners from zero mileage to five miles in time for the Pride Run.
Volunteering as a mentor in this program is a great opportunity for vets of the road
racing scene to see the sport through new eyes again-take a new runner on a tour of
�Central Park on Saturday mornings starting March 19. Let us know if you want to help
out! Rachel Cutler and Mike Terry are making it easy to try out multisport with the
2011 Multisport Kick Off event, Sunday, March 13 at 5:30 at the Long Island City
Y. This event will feature mini workouts in swimming, running, and spinning in a
friendly, supportive atmosphere, plus there will be a party with food and prizes. Email
Rachel and Mike with questions, and don’t forget a swimsuit towel, lock, and running
gear. Last week at Thursday Night at the Races, FRNY set a record for track
participation-27 people raced, and FRNY fielded two and a half teams in the "10 by 5 by
200m 10K" relay race, including the first ever all-FRNY-women team. With so many people
coming out to the track for workouts and meets, you can be assured that you will have
all the support, cheering, and coaching you need to make it through your first track
meet. Join us at the FRNY Track Meet on Friday, March 18 at 7 PM at the Armory Track
(West 168th St. and Ft. Washington Ave.). I urge you to register and run at least one
event, but if that’s not to your taste, you can always show up to volunteer (let Kelsey
and Derek know) or just come out and cheer! Take a risk, try something new. And
when you do it, take advantage of the know-how and encouragement that FRNY
offers. Wishing you all the best,Megan Jenkins FRNY’s Wild Women
Wednesday--the Fun Run dedicated to the Ladies of FRNY--is tomorrow, March 2! The
Fun Run will be followed by good cheer at Amsterdam Ale House (Amsterdam Ave @ 76th
St). Contact Women’s VP Sandi Rowe for more information. Coogan’s 5K--the
first points race of the year--will be followed by brunch at Johnny and Patrick’s home
(689 Fort Washington Ave. Apt 5F) on Sunday, March 6. See the Gram for
details. Join us on the evening of Sunday, March 13 at 5:30 PM at the Long Island
City YMCA for our first annual FRNY Multisport Kick Off event! Meet our multisport
coaches, tour the facilities, and experience an adrenaline-pumping swim-bike-run
workout. A celebration with food, drinks, and prizes will follow! Remember to
bring a swimsuit, towel, lock, and running gear. FRNY’s Annual Track Meet will be
held at the Armory Track (Ft. Washington Ave. and 168th Street) on March 18 at 7
PM. FRNY members get reduced registration fee of $15 when they register online by
March 17. Click here to register now! An Interview with
the Coordinators
We met with FRNY Track Meet coordinators Kelsey Louie and Derek Petti this month to get
the scoop on them and on the upcoming track meet. The Next Mile: When did you first
start racing on the track? Derek Petti: 8th grade. I ran the 100m dash because
anything longer felt like death. I guess I haven’t changed much! Kelsey Louie:
21 years ago. I was 8. Just kidding. I actually ran during my freshman
year by myself in order to train to get ready to be on the track team my sophomore year.
I started because my oldest brother, who I idolized, ran track. TNM: What’s
your favorite distance to race and why? KL: 800m. It was my first race on an indoor
track. I took my coach’s advice of starting out conservatively too seriously
and ran a 2:43. I got lapped--the winner of that race ran 2:00. The winner
yelled at me after the race was over because I was in his way. (I wasn’t.) That
day, November 16, 1990, I set the goal of running a sub-2:00 minute 800m race. I
tried throughout high school, but my high school coach made me focus on the longer
distances. I only ran a 2:04. My college coach had me focus on longer distances
too, but I managed to run a 2:01. I decided to try again for the Sydney Gay Games
in 2002. I only ran a 2:03. In March 2004, after countless attempts, at the
FRNY Track meet, when I was 29 for the first time, I finally broke 2:00 and ran a
1:59.62. The 800m is a tough race, but it reminds me that you can do anything you
set your mind to. It just takes hard work and patience. This has made me a better
runner and a better coach. DP: I’ve always loved the 400m hurdles (outdoor track,
only). It’s an unpredictable race. You can train all year and clip one hurdle at the
conference championships and some freshman on your college team will take advantage of
it and duck you out at the line. Come to think of it, I think I prefer the half mile.
TNM: What’s going to be new or different about the 2011 FRNY Track Meet? DP: This
year’s track meet is going to have all of the great features we had last year (discounts
for Front Runners, great relay opportunities, unlimited races for one entry fee, gift
certificates for overall winners, & medals for age-group winners), but in addition,
we’re planning on having our sponsor, Urban Athletics, bring some vendors to sell
running gear as well. This will be a great opportunity for the people who trained
at the armory this year to get a pair of flats or spikes for the outdoor track
season! TNM: What distances will you be running on March 18? DP: Once the
meet is flowing smoothly, I hope to have a moment to organize a distance medley relay.
It’s made up of 4 people that run 4 different distances - 1200 meters, then 400
meters, then an 800 meter, and last a mile. It’s my favorite relay because you get to
run with people you don’t normally run with, and you can play to everyone’s
strengths--fast short distances and less intense longer distances. It’s especially fun
for the people who ran the indoor workouts to combine people who normally do
the longer distance workouts with people who do the shorter distance workouts. KL:
I also enjoy the distance medley relay, and, like Derek, if I can manage to run
something on March 18, it will be the DMR. TNM: What do you do when you’re not
�running? KL: Coach. Oh...do you mean for work? [laughs] I am a
non profit manager--I am the Senior Vice President of HIV Services at Harlem United.
I also teach at the NYU School of Social Work. In all of these roles, I see
myself as a coach, just a coach of different things...whether it’s how to run faster,
how to run with better form, how to provide therapy to clients or how to manage others,
or how to administer quality social services. I like to coach. DP: Sleep.
And don’t tell Rachel [Cutler], but I sort of love those multisport swims in Queens on
Monday nights at 8pm at the LIC Y [laughs].
by Kelsey Louie Q: What should I eat before a race? How much time should I
eat before workout? I know many people who are training for marathons talk about eating
during their run-is this something I should do? A: Each person has unique food
preferences so there is no one food or meal will ensure top performance for everyone.
Your breakfast on race morning should be food you are used to eating before running. You
should experiment well in advance of your race to know what foods work best for you and,
more importantly, what doesn’t! The pre-run meal should be predominantly
carbohydrate because it empties quickly from the stomach and becomes readily available
to be used by the muscles. If you will be exercising for less than an hour, snack on
foods that are easily digestible and settle comfortably. Toast, English muffins, a
banana, crackers, or a granola bar are good options. If you will be running for more
than 60 minutes, choose a pre-run snack with a little protein and fat for sustained
energy. Allow adequate time for digestion. The general rule is to allow 3-4 hours
for a large meal to digest, 2-3 hours for a smaller meal, 1-2 hours for a blended or
liquid meal, and less than an hour for a small snack, according to your own
tolerance. Two to three hours before the race begins, drink at least 16 oz. of
fluid. This can be just water or water and sports drink. Drinking this far in advance of
the race should allow you enough time to process the fluid and use the bathroom before
the race begins. Thirty minutes before the race, drink another 6 ounces or so of water.
Arrive early to the race site so you have time to use the bathroom again before the race
starts. Your muscles break down during a hard workout, but you can stop the
breakdown mode by eating as soon as tolerable after you exercise. Take advantage of the
30-45 minute post-exercise window of opportunity to optimally nourish, repair, and build
muscles. Including carbohydrates in the recovery meal enhances glycogen
replacement. Refueling with carbohydrates combined with a little protein
(approximately 10-20 grams) creates a muscle refueling and building response.
Including protein in the recovery meal enhances the process of building and repairing
muscles, and reduces muscle soreness. What to Eat During ExerciseJust as what you
eat before you exercise greatly affects your energy levels, so does what you eat during
extensive exercise. Ideally, during a run that lasts for more than 60 minutes, you
should try to balance your water and energy output with enough fluid to match your sweat
loss and enough carbohydrates to provide energy and maintain normal blood sugar levels.
You can significantly increase your stamina by consuming about 100 to 250 calories per
hour, after the first hour. By consuming carbohydrates during exercise, such as drinking
Gatorade, your muscles have an added source of fuel. By Emily Meyers
Whether it’s because it snowed, again, you’re traveling and crunched for time, or forced
to train in the darkness until Daylight Savings Time ends, sometimes, you’re stuck
indoors. Lament not! A fun workout can still be had, even on a treadmill, even if
there’s no one cute to scope on the bike nearby. While the weather remains iffy and you
can’t always get outside to get a run or a ride, check out these tools to make the
indoor experience almost as good as the great outdoors:
"Mainesport" writes a great tri blog, and gets creative with his indoor workouts. He’s
got plans and tips to beat boredom, stay engaged, and get in a solid workout on the
treadmill, in the pool, and on the bike trainer.
To track your progress and keep your focus on performance at the gym or on the trainer,
try syncing up your smart phone or tablet with workout software. Intervalsoft, a small
company based in Washington, DC created apps for the iPhone and iPad that, when paired
with any ANT+ sensor, track all of your vital stats for biking or running, or any other
cardio equipment (Power, Heart Rate, Speed, Cadence), all on an overlay of whatever
video you want to be watching while you train. It’ll even break the workout into
intervals, save the info, and summarize or graph the workout stats. You can check out
the different sport-specific versions at http://intervalsoft.com/products.For loads more
info, tips, and reviews for running, biking, and swimming gadgets, check out the DC
Rainmaker’s blog (http://www.dcrainmaker.com/). He’s very thorough in his descriptions,
and provides good pictures of all the products. He’s your man if you’re contemplating a
new tech gadget to augment your training.Happy training, indoors and out!
Set aside time this month to develop a vision for your racing season, set goals, and put
the structures in place that will help you achieve those goals this summer.
Getting races on the calendar now will re-energize your training and propel you through
these final chilly months. Spring will be here soon, promise!
Here is your multisport checklist for March:
�1) Declare your goals. What new distance or discipline are you going to conquer
this year? Which long-standing PR are you going to break? Make the decision
that this will be your best racing season yet. And don’t just think about your
goals - write them down! Tell them to others! There is power in declaring
your goals. When you share your goals with teammates, you are enrolling them to
support you. Go for it!
2) Build a race calendar. Build the structure that you’ll need to achieve your
racing goals. Set aside a two-hour block this month to plan out your summer race
calendar. When can you race, and how far can you travel? What’s your racing
budget? Which races are others doing? The multisport club has developed a
list of team-targeted races for 2011 - contact Rachel and Mike if you have questions on
it or would like a copy. (This is a good time to make sure that your race calendar
meshes well with your Fire Island getaway calendar, too!)
3) Declare a target race. This is the race where you’re going shatter that
long-standing PR, or conquer that new distance or discipline you’ve been dreaming
about. Go for it - pick the date in 2011 when you are going to shine! Next,
work back from that date and develop a training schedule that will put you in peak
condition for the race. For extra credit, pick the person who you want waiting for
you at the finish line on that special day. Reach out to that person now and let
them know when and where you want them to be!
4) Sign up! You are not the only one who’s planning your race calendar, we guarantee
it! If you think the Brooklyn Half filled up fast - you wouldn’t believe how
quickly some triathlons fill up. Be on your game and register now!
5) Multisport Kick Off! Join us for an evening of multisport madness on Sunday, March 13
at 5:30 at the Long Island City Y. Meet our coaching staff, tour the facilities,
and experience an adrenaline-pumping swim-bike-run workout with us. (Plus, food, prizes,
and fun will follow!).
For more information on workouts, races, or a bit of motivation, e-mail Mike and Rachel.
NOLA Marathon and Half-Marathon - Janice Jabido, Sandi Rowe, Rachel Kliegman
Laissez les bon temps rouler - Let the Good Times Roll! It’s common during Mardi Gras
season to ask a New Orleanian what time the parade rolls. It’s also common to see
people toting around boxes of cinnamon rolls -- otherwise known as King Cakes. But
"Let the Good Times Roll" is much more of a lifestyle than merely a saying in the Big
Easy. This is a city that thrives on good times and, almost more importantly, good
food. Crawfish, beignets, po-boys, king cake and muffalata. That’s the pre-race
fueling Janice -- a "native" of sorts -- recommended to Sandi and RayK. No, we didn’t go
to New Orleans with the hopes of a fast marathon time. (Although the course is
about as flat as you can get) We didn’t even really go with a plan. No
reservations for pre-race carbo loading (oops!); no route mapped for a
day-before-stretch-your-airplane-legs-out jog. No, not even a plan to get to the
start line. And, even though it was a "Rock & Roll" series marathon -- that are
usually very well organized and cater to newcomers -- there were a few things to iron
out about the race... Like figuring out how to get all 17,000 people to the start on
time. (No, the shuttle from the race hotel never came to get RayK and Sandi.)
Good thing it was only a mile to the start. In good N’Awlins style, you just
have to roll with it...
That said, the expo was a lot of fun - a circus theme made a great way for people to be
engaged in the event - tossing a ping pong ball into a champagne glass would have gotten
us free shoes! John "The Penguin" Bingham and Frank Shorter were also on hand and RayK and Sandi had their bibs autographed! On Saturday, RayK and Sandi were off
sightseeing, tasting a Johnny’s Po-boy sandwich, a muffalata, some jambalaya, and yes,
most definitely, some beignets. Janice, Michelle and Aiden were prepping for their
return trip for Mardi Gras -- getting their throws (glitter-decorated stilettos) ready
for the only all-women’s evening parade to roll the entire Mardi Gras season. A
digression into some facts about Mardi Gras. Loosely translated from French - it
means "Fat Tuesday" - it’s the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, the start of the Lenten
season for Christians around the world. In New Orleans, Mardi Gras is your last
chance at a bit of debauchery before the 46-day season leading to Easter. Mardi
Gras "season" actually begins on Twelfth night and continues through Fat Tuesday.
It’s during this time you can catch a parade, have some king cake, or attend a
ball. The colors of Mardi Gras are purple, green and gold and traditionally, revelers
would show up in costume for anonymity utilizing these colors to enjoy the party.
Parades are organized by "krewes" who ride down the same route for at least the
week leading up to Fat Tuesday. It’s actually the law in New Orleans that all
riders wear masks covering their faces during the parade. The riders toss "throws"
- the infamous beads and other signature items (like our shoes). You have to be
�someone special in the crowd to get these throws! Back to our trip. Sandi and RayK
found the French Market restaurant and enjoyed some Cajun food - Jambalaya and, well...
vegetables, sort of... RayK reports: do not make the mistake to assume that just
because the menu says "grilled vegetables" that it won’t include sausage. Next
time: reservations at Irene’s or Tommy’s for some tasty pasta. Michelle, Janice and
Aiden found themselves in a different quandry. Longing for their favorites, they
ended up with shrimp gumbo, fried shrimp, shrimp salad, shrimp etouffee, shrimp... oh,
and later the Balcony Bar (and grill) for pre-race dinner. Yum. Sunday morning race day. Insanely early in the morning, Michelle managed to get Janice near the
start village to assemble her purple, green and gold gear for the day. Sandi and
RayK walked the mile to the start. Mardi Gras headbands for each of us, signs for
the anniversary occasion, and a feather boa for Janice; we snapped some pictures and and
off we go... or, well, bathroom stop. Okay, now, lets head out... The race
starts in the warehouse district which is not so scenic - good thing it was 7 am.
Next it moves through the historic garden district filled with some of the most
gorgeous southern mansions. The marathon winds its way up through uptown, Audubon
Park and past Tulane & Loyola’s campuses, and then meets back with the half and heads
downtown through the French Quarter and the 2-story RNR marathon balloon. Then up
Esplanade Avenue -- yikes, New Orleans can use some road repair here. The half
marathon course was still a bit crowded at this point, and it didn’t make dodging the
potholes any easier. The marathon course, though, was smooth sailing -- much less
crowded. Here’s where you may be offered tasty snacks -- King Cake or a beer
anyone? The courses split again at City Park -- the finish line for the half.
The marathon continues -- still flat, by the way -- up to Lake Pontchartrain -the infamous lake that filled the city after Hurricane Katrina. You’ll hit a
"hill" here. Then it’s back to City Park and the finish line festivities.
All in all, we did the race for the experience in New Orleans. It is truly a flat
course, though the potholes over a bit of the course makes it mentally tough to focus on
your running and the street. The crowds are awesome, the scenery is great, and the food
is amazing (although it’s not the healthiest or the best for pre-race eating).
You’re sure to have a good time in New Orleans for this race and the the
atmosphere is hard to match especially if you adopt the New Orleans’ motto -- Let the
good times roll! Jonathan Warner - By Sandi Rowe
Dues-paying member since February 8, 2011
What first brought you to Front Runners last July 2010 and what inspired you to finally
join? One night last June my good friend and co-worker Gina Hammond, a
former Front Runner and Brooklyn-ite, lured me to her house with promises of wine and
beer. Once she had me captive, she made me promise her that I would do just one thing
for her when I moved. That one thing was to go out for a run with Front Runners. I came
to my first fun run the morning after I moved, and I joined because of the incredible
sense of belonging and family that Front Runners has given me. It’s been the most
self-rewarding promise I’ve ever fulfilled.
What is your favorite distance or race? I haven’t met a distance I didn’t
like, although I generally prefer longer runs. My favorite race was probably the Lookout
Mountain 50 miler I ran with my dad and brother-in-law this past December. I’m really
looking forward to more ultras and maybe even a triathlon. What is your
relationship status? I eat a lot of ice cream.
How do you spend your days (i.e., what do you do to pay the rent)? I spend
part of my week as an operations assistant at the Pratt Center for Community
Development, part of it as a consultant for a Brooklyn urban design studio, and all of
it looking for a full-time job. I spend most evenings in class, pursuing a master of
City & Regional Planning.
Besides running, what else do you like to do for fun? I love to cook
and bake, and I’ve recently gotten really into swimming which helps offset my
overindulgence in the first two activities.
Your birthday is later this month, how will you be celebrating it? I haven’t
really thought about it. I know I’m running the Wurtsboro 30k that weekend, so maybe
that will be part of it?
Some may not know that you are a talented artist. Right now it’s just
a hobby, although I’m trying to expand. Most of my art has been given away as gifts to
friends and family, although I sold some sculptures to raise money for my siblings to go
on mission trips when I was younger. More recently, I made a print series to sell as a
fundraiser for Harlem United through the NY Marathon. Several Front Runners generously
bought a print or two; thank you so much!
What is one thing you would like to share that might surprise your fellow Front
Runners? I performed with the University of Georgia African American Choral
Ensemble and Concordia, an Athens GA based chamber choir, for four years. I largely sang
tenor but occasionally covered both baritone and alto. Cenk B?lb?l - by Mark Mascolini
How Emotions Affect Decisions
Gays can’t come out in Turkey. The language lacks the words, the culture lacks the
�concept. Grappling with his sexual identity since grade school, Cenk B?lb?l saw himself
as gay only after moving to Pittsburgh and came all the way out only after sinking roots
in New York. Cenk (pronounced Jenk) felt a leaning for guys since his youth, but he told
himself everyone fancies both women and men. "It’s a spectrum," he thought, "and I’m
attracted to women too." But he wasn’t. After earning a degree in industrial engineering
at Turkey’s top school, he headed to Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon because a mentor
advised him to go after an MBA at a technical school. There he saw men getting close,
men holding hands.
"They were kissing, man to man, and I thought, ’That’s me!’"
But he didn’t abandon himself forthwith to same-sex frolics. Once while running laps on
the school track, he noted another man staring with more than athletic interest.
Intrigued, abashed, Cenk fumbled for a response, but "the only response I could give was
to run back home immediately." MBA in hand, Cenk searched for a US job, but he found
none and headed back to Turkey -- and back into bisexual musings. Rationalizing that he
liked kids and could probably spawn one or two, he started seeking women, but only
certain women. "They were all flat-chested, very manly, strong women," Cenk recalls. He
tried dating women throughout his 20s, but with slim success. Meanwhile, he was making
big money working long hours, adding adipocytes to his waist, and holing up every night
in a large, smartly furnished, lonely apartment. "I said, fuck it. I dumped everything,
sold as much as I could, quit my job." Inspired by Asli, a close friend (and decidedly
unmanly woman), Cenk set his sights on a marketing PhD from NYU and made NYC his new
home 2002. "It was a second start for me," he notes. And this time he didn’t run away
from cruisers. "Within 3 months I was totally out," he recalls. "And the fourth month
after I moved to New York, I lost my virginity. I was 30. I had never even kissed a man
before." His family’s reaction to the news proved varied, partly because Turkish media
at the time portrayed gay men in only three ways: as prostitutes, drag queens, or
effusively effeminate men-and Cenk clearly didn’t answer to any of those descriptions.
Cenk’s dismayed father, an army general, told him Turkish has only a word for gay,
"bottom," and somehow he didn’t see his son as a sexually passive swish. "No, that’s
only in Turkey," Cenk explained, "not in real life." His mother "rejected the concept
viscerally--she cried every time she saw me." Cenk’s sister, a professor of medicine and
OB/GYN researcher, helped calm parental qualms by spelling out the clinical ABCs of
homosexuality and assuring them no blame could be assigned any party for a blameless
verity. Cenk’s mother "doesn’t cry anymore, but she doesn’t want to hear about it." His
father, in contrast, became closer with Cenk and now even offers a firm shoulder
"whenever I have a heartbreak." With an MBA, a PhD, and years of on-the-job savvy, Cenk
nailed down a post at Ogilvy & Mather, the storied ad giant, where he now heads of team
of six that molds the marketing aura of megabuck multinationals like American Express,
Cisco, and Siemens. His doctoral work delved the fertile depths of how emotions
influence consumer decisions, and he continues to publish research on that topic in
peer-reviewed journals. His latest study, co-authored with a Wharton School colleague,
posits two types of emotional appeal in ads, abstract affect and concrete affect [1].
Two surveys yielded evidence that abstract affect (which is warm, fuzzy, and
nonspecific) drives long-term buying behavior, while concrete affect (which is hot,
vivid, and visceral) holds more sway over short-term behavior. Cenk construes his
decision to settle in New York for PhD work as an example of abstract affect, with its
Apollonian focus on long-range life planning. But if you ask Cenk’s friends for a
quick-stroke portrait, they sketch a Dionysian concrete-affect guy.
"The best way to describe Cenk in one word is ’intense,’ offers Alex Kristofcak.
"Whether it’s in love, friendship, or running, Cenk doesn’t do ’casual.’ Tim Guscott
concurs: "One of Cenk’s most endearing qualities is his 110% commitment to anything in
which he is involved, whether it is an athletic goal that he has set for himself, the
defense of a friend perceived as having been wronged, or an idea in which he believes
deeply." These days Cenk focuses that welder’s-torch intensity on half-marathons and
marathons, with 26.2s in Madrid, San Francisco, and New York City on the docket for
2011. But his racing life didn’t start that way. Unlike many Front Running men who’ve
divulged their life stories in these pages, Cenk was a crackerjack athlete in his youth,
boasting two skills that set him apart from confreres: He could jump higher than anyone
else, and he could jump sideways farther than anyone else. Those talents made him a
tip-top basketball rebounder, not to mention the preferred point man on fast breaks.
Sprawling leaps across two dimensions also positioned him as the perfect soccer goalie.
But when he went to college, Cenk decided to try distance running. Sizing up Cenk’s
oaken thighs and I-beam shoulders, the coach had another idea: "When I look at you, I
see a sprinter, nothing else." Applying his mettle to 100 meters, Cenk whittled his time
to 11.2. During his workaholic 20s, Cenk had no time for running, but in New York he
found his way back into training and eventually into a local road race, the precipitous
Coogan’s 5K. He ran that race with a Front Runner boyfriend, but when they broke up
shortly afterwards, Cenk felt reluctant to join FRNY runs or workouts because the ex
might be there. When he told this story to Kerstin Marx, a fellow NYU scholar and FRNY
�stalwart, she urged him to join a Saturday fun run and come to breakfast. If the
ex-boyfriend showed up, Kerstin promised, she would hold Cenk’s hand. The ex showed up!
Kerstin held Cenk’s hand! And all went well when the former flame welcomed Cenk warmly
to the club. Soon Cenk met Alex Kristofcak, they became fast friends, and fast racers
too. A year after his Coogan’s debut, Cenk once again found himself scooting up and down
Fort Washington Ave, and carving more than a minute off his inaugural time. Cenk and
Alex trained for the 2006 NYC marathon, but injury forced Cenk to withdraw. Since then,
Cenk has run five marathons, setting his PR last year in New York with a 3:25. A few
months before that, running the Mohawk-Hudson half-marathon as a warm-up, he found
himself tagging along with lead-pack women and decided to hang on as long as he could.
He hung on well enough to set a PR there, too, crossing the line in a sub-7-minute pace
at 1:31:14. And he set both records as a smoker. Cenk’s nicotine habit started when he
was a kid, getting perfect-10 grades in all his classes and earning the censure of his
peers. To shed his egghead image and join the crowd, they told him, he must drink and
smoke, so he did. Never loving his addiction, Cenk became a perennial quitter called
"My-Last-Smoke Cenk" by his pals. He got serious about stopping when an acupuncturist
treating him for track injuries tried to ablate his tobacco dependence by swiveling
needles into his ears. When Cenk complained it wasn’t working, the needle ninja, who
apparently minored in mental health, blamed the failure on his "deep psychological
problems." Bleeding concrete affect, Cenk set out to disprove that diagnosis and went
cold turkey. At his next acupuncture session, he declared himself a nonsmoker and
psychologically sound. But he relapsed a few years later when enduring three tibial
stress fractures and a boyfriend bust-up. In 2011, he made quitting his New Year’s
resolution, announced his resolve on facebook, and stopped. "I made a switch in my
mind," he explains. "I categorized myself as a nonsmoker. Every time I wanted a
cigarette, I remembered that I don’t smoke anymore." And his running endurance improved
dramatically. Training with a heart rate monitor as part of an aerobic base-building
plan, Cenk found that within a few days of quitting he could go 20% faster at the same
heart rate. "It’s just crazy," he exclaims. "Three days!" Shortly thereafter, the
nicotine stains on his fingers vanished. Now his goal is to set another marathon PR, and
once again in New York, justly reputed as a non-PR course. Soon after becoming a racing
regular, Cenk threw himself into FRNY functions with gusto, serving as club secretary in
2007, organizing the FRNY cross-country meet as a fund raiser for the Bronx Community
Center, and writing "Bibs & Chips" for the newsletter. It’s no secret that Cenk served a
stormy tenure on the FRNY board. Believing Front Runners could tap his rich marketing
know-how to launch new membership and club-communication plans, he felt frustrated when
his proposals met resistance. The club later did enact one of his initiatives,
transferring the Front Runner Gram to a professional e-mail program. Yet, ironically,
Cenk unsubscribed from this weekly update, feeling it has grown prolix. Friends see this
heart-on-sleeve single-mindedness as a two-sided plus. "Cenk is one of the most open
people I’ve ever met," Tim Guscott observes. "I never have to wonder what he might be
thinking, and I can’t think of anyone who so easily bursts into tears of joy!" And Cenk
remains deeply committed to training and racing as a Front Runner. "I love Chris [Stoia]
and Kelsey," Cenk says. "I love the track, the hill workouts -- and the long runs are
very motivating. I see extreme value in the coached workouts." He reckons that more than
two thirds of his friends are Front Runners and that he spends three quarters of his
free time with them. And Chris loves having training maniacs like Cenk under his
tutelage. Like almost all goal-setting runners, Chris says, Cenk spends more than a
little time doubting his potential-doubting not only whether he can notch a new PR, but
even whether he can complete a workout. Chris remembers one night when Cenk nearly quit
before finishing the assigned track repeats. Chris suggested Cenk focus on running the
straightaways faster, not by lunging into longer strides, but by "taking fast little
steps, pushing off quickly -- bip, bip, bip!" It worked. Cenk finished his repeats, and
finished fast with an ear-to-ear grin. When the workout’s over, "he’s always a sweaty
mess," Chris allows, "but one sweaty mess I am ALWAYS happy to see at the track."
Running is hardly Cenk’s only exudative passion. He derives "immense pleasure" simply
from discovering things: "news, songs, a little shop." He loves writing, traveling,
spoiling his miniature schnauzer Hiro, and "to this day I’m researching human behavior."
Why did his PhD work analyze how emotions affect choice? "Because I’m very interested in
how people make these stupid decisions. And in the process I learned so much about
myself."

Volume XXVIII Issue 6 Happy Pride! Front Runners New York has much to celebrate already
with the Pride Run posting phenomenal registration numbers. Pride Run Directors Gabriel
Celis and Seth Richardson asked the club to get the word out about our amazing 5-mile
celebration of the LGBT community, and we definitely have done so with the help of
several media pieces including, "You Never Forget Your First Time," a video piece
featuring the Pride Run in its historical context by Katrina Amaro, Rob Lennon, and Fred
Pfaff, and voice actors Dan Gallagher and Lenore Beaky; a full-page, full color ad in
the NYRR Magazine designed by Martha Marina Dao; and a 7-page Media Kit crafted by Rob
Lennon, Martha Marina, and the rest of the Marketing Committee.
Additionally, the Pride Run has been gaining additional recognition and support
from our beneficiary partner, the It Gets Better Project, which has tweeted about the
Pride Run and posted to its Facebook fans information about our race. We got
a surprise shout out in Out Magazine from Rory O’Malley, a performer in the Broadway
Show Book of Mormon, when he put the Pride Run at the top of his hot list. We are
delighted that that Rory and his colleagues from Broadway Impact will be running the
Pride Run again this year. With so much positive buzz, it’s no
surprise that the Pride Run is close to capacity. The amazing thing about our Pride
Run is that people all different backgrounds join together to celebrate the advances in
equality that affect all New Yorkers and to take a stand for tolerance. Lesbians, gay
men, bisexual and transgender people, and heterosexuals stand shoulder to shoulder in
the starting corrals-they are all proud to support the LGBT community in our struggle
�for civil equality and safety. You can feel it in the air at the Pride Run: this
celebratory run is a place where hearts are opened and minds are changed.
Before I get too carried away with optimism, I want to let you know that I’m not
so na?ve to think that some people aren’t there just to get another 9+1 qualifying race
in for their 2012 marathon. I’m still impressed that these people see the Lesbian and
Gay Pride Run as a good opportunity to do that. When the Pride Run started, some of the
runners hid their faces from the cameras, trying to remain anonymous. In 1982, many
people -- gay or straight -- would never have considered running a gay race, no matter
what they might earn from doing so. So all those qualifiers who don’t give a damn what
race they’re racing -- I’m happy to have them, too. It means we’ve come a long
way. Wishing you all the best,
Megan Jenkins FRNY Board Meeting: 6/7/11 -- Board meetings are actually kind
of fun, because the 2011 board is committed to good food. Join us at the home of
Sandi Rowe, 235 West 132nd Street, Apt. 1 at 7 PM on Tuesday. RSVP to Megan
Jenkins. First Friday is Second Thursday: 6/9/11 -- The good folks at Boxers
NYC (37 West 20th Street) are once again hosting a fund raiser for the Pride Run! T00%
of the proceeds from raffle and shot sales will go toward the Pride Run, so get there
early and enjoy some Pride-filled fun!Email the Social Committee for more information.
An Interview with Gabriel Celis and Seth Richardson
The Next Mile: How far in advance do you start preparing for the Pride Run?
Gabriel Celis: We start sooner than most people probably realize. Since 2011 is a big
anniversary race, we actually started floating some general ideas around before the 2010
race even finished! And things don’t stop after the race on June 25th. It takes several
months to close out the books with our sponsors and NYRR before all the work is done.
Seth Richardson: Preliminary talks begin the previous fall when we recap the last race
and start brainstorming and playing with some new ideas. Things start to pick up in
January when we have our first big meeting with NYRR. Once the registration page goes
live in February, though, is when the planning really kicks into gear. From February
through June there’s something to work on nearly every single day (sometimes it can feel
like an extra full-time job), and of course, June is the busiest month.
TNM: How many Pride Runs have you directed?
GC: I started helping Mike O. with the 2008 Pride Run and then took over as Director in
2009. When 2010 planning started, I knew I needed help and sought out Seth. I still say
he had no idea what he was getting himself into, but I’m so thankful I was able to trick
him! I honestly have no idea how I would have survived without him.
SR: It was actually at the starting line of Reach the Beach 2009 that Gabby asked me to
join him for Pride Run 2010. I had 200 miles ahead of me to think about it and I’m glad
I said yes! This is my second year.
TNM: What do you do for a living?
SR: I’m a residential real estate agent with Fenwick Keats Real Estate.
GC: I work in online marketing for a startup company called Media6degrees. Luckily, my
CEO is an avid runner and fully supports my work with the Pride Run!
TNM: What are your hobbies?
SR: Running (of course), tap dancing, knitting, and the occasional yoga class. Also, my
background is in the theater so I try to see a play whenever I can.
GC: Is playing with my dog considered a hobby?
TNM: Yes!
What’s the most unexpected thing you learned organizing the Pride Run?
GC: How much it costs! The first time I started helping out, I had no idea that this
race cost so much money to put on. And our budget keeps getting bigger every year! From
permits to police, there are a lot of costs involved with having a race in Central Park.
SR: I’ve run a lot of races with NYRR over the years but I had no idea how much work
actually goes into an event like this or how many little details need to be sorted out.
There are so many people involved somehow. We even have people who help us determine how
many paper cups or popsicles we will need and everything is meticulously planned down to
the minute to make the day run as smoothly as possible. The behind-the-scenes view is
really fascinating!
TNM: What is your favorite Pride Run memory?
GC: I have so many! I’ve only been able to run in the 2008 Pride Run, but that was such
a fun experience! I had no idea that it would be so gay but it was a blast to see people
�out there running with so much pride. As a director, my favorite part every year is
standing by the start line and watching thousands of people - from all walks of life blur past me with smiles on their faces.
SR:Last year my whole family got involved in some way, which was very special. Both of
my brothers ran and my parents came out to cheer. And my best friend, who is more into
yoga than anything else, started running and trained for months to make the Pride Run
her first race ever. It made me realize that the event has grown in such a way that it
really does include everyone.
TNM: What’s going to be new or different about the 2011 Pride Run?
SR: One big improvement in 2010 was in the way that we developed a partnership with our
beneficiary before the race so that we could involve them more in the event. That idea
carried over to 2011, and I think we’ve really built on that model to create a new way
to enhance a relationship with our chosen charity. I’m really excited to work with the
It Gets Better Project this year.
GC: We can’t give away all our secrets! All I’ll say is that it is bigger and gayer than
ever. Register today and you’ll be in for a great time!
by Kelsey LouieQuestion: I was on pace for a PR at mile 12 of Brooklyn and got a
cramp in my calf. I had to walk, stretch and slow down. I finished and still
count it a good race but thought that a column on preventing leg cramps and what to do
when they happen would be useful now that the hot weather is here. Koach
Kelsey: First of all, I’m happy to hear that you can see the good part of your
race -- that you ran the first 12 at a PR pace. I’m confident that you can get
that PR next time around! There are no conclusive answers to your questions in the
sports medicine field. There are three leading hypotheses about how to treat
cramps and how to prevent them. 1. The oldest hypothesis is that dehydration
is the culprit. This explanation is simple to remedy-hydrate better. Keep in
mind that you should not use thirst as a barometer of hydration. If you are
feeling thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Drink 8-16 ounces of water an hour or
so before a workout. During a long run, drink 3 to 6 ounces every 15 to 20
minutes, when possible. This varies for each person, but the idea is that during
hot and humid days, you might need more fluids to stay hydrated. 2. Then
there’s the electrolyte hypothesis -- that cramps occur when there is a lack of or
imbalance with sodium and/or potassium levels. The electrolyte hypothesis applies
to a specific type of cramp that is related to excessive sweating. This is the type of
cramp when you feel twitches first. Excessive sweating can cause an imbalance of
electrolytes that help muscles contract and expand regularly within the fluid that
surrounds your muscles and nerves. The solution is sports drinks, bananas, or
extra salt on your food before, during, and after your runs. 3. The third
hypothesis proposes that the real cause of cramping is an imbalance between nerve
signals that excite a muscle and those that inhibit its contractions and that imbalance
occurs when a muscle is growing fatigued. Exercising less intensely and for
shorter times, bring sure you had enough carbohydrates to fuel your muscles, or training
sufficiently and to regularly stretching the muscles that give you problems are possible
solutions. So, to sum
up, if you feel a cramp coming on, slow down, hydrate with water and sports drinks, eat
a banana, or take in some salt. You might be able to prevent a cramp from
occurring. If you do get a cramp, try massaging your calf and then stretching
it. Keep your heel on the ground, pull your toes up and reach toward your toes.
Doing this makes your calf muscles stretch. By Mike Terry and Rachel
Cutler
Can you believe that the Jersey Pride Sprint Triathlon is right around the
corner? July 9will be upon us incredibly soon. June is the month
to start thinking hard about the details of your race, particularly if it will be your
first triathlon. Do you have all the gear you’ll need? What is your nutrition
plan? And, most importantly, have you worked through your transitions?
Transitions often get neglected during triathlon training -- and it makes sense because
there’s nothing exciting or particularly challenging about them. However,
your speed through each transition is important and can add or shave precious minutes
off of your overall race time. And the shorter the triathlon, the greater an
impact your transition time will have on your overall race performance. Here
are some tips on how to optimize your transitions:
1) Practice! Do a dry run of both transitions in your bedroom one night
before the race. The more muscle memory you can build before the race through
rehearsing, the better - you’ll undoubtedly find yourself feeling far more frantic and
far less coordinated on race day.
�
2) Make your transition fool proof. There’s nothing worse than accidentally
leaving the rack without your helmet, or realizing that the gels you planned to consume
aren’t with you when you need them. Setup your transition area so that that
critical pieces of gear (like your helmet, race bib, gels, etc.) are on top of or inside
items that you can’t leave without. For instance, try laying your helmet on
top of your bike handlebars; put your race bib on top of your shoes, and put your gels
inside them. 3) Triathletes are infamous gear hounds. You’ll see lots of aero
helmets and carbon-fiber-everything in the transition zone. Most of that
fancy gear provides only minimal advantages to the average
triathlete. However, there are some inexpensive (non-essential) items that
will save precious time for all types of triathletes: Race bib belt -- most
triathlons only require participants to wear their race bib during the running leg; you
have the option to leave your bib at the transition during the swim and the
bike. An inexpensive elastic race belt will allow you to attach your race bib
to yourself quickly during the second transition. They can be found at most
triathlon stores.Elastic shoelaces or lace locks -- these will save you precious time
during the second transition because you won’t have to worry about tying your
shoelaces. (And even if you think you’re good at tying your shoelaces
quickly, try doing it when you’re exhausted, dizzy, and adrenaline-buzzed during the
second transition - it’s much tougher!) Practice running with these prior to your
race. Transition towel -- Space is very tight in transitions, and bringing your
favorite beach towel will become an frustration for both you and your
neighbors. Bring a towel that’s more compact. I’ve found that
those half-sized towels you find in the bathroom at very cheap hotels tend to make
perfect transition towels! We are more than happy to discuss transition
tricks and triathlon gear with you! Be sure to reach out if you have any
questions. And we can’t wait to see you in Asbury Park for the Jersey Pride
Triathon on July 9! By Miles Harter In this article, first, I will
focus on nutrition approaches for the Pride Run. Second, I will open the door to a
future discussion on prevailing nutrition myths. Whenever we talk about
nutrition, the idea of bioindividuality wins out. No one program works for
everyone. Therefore, as to guidance for nutrition for the Pride Run, I can’t
advise exactly what to eat, because I must respect each person’s bioindividuality.
If you are a seasoned runner, stick with what works. If this is your first race,
you can go with these general recommendations: - Avoid unfamiliar, untested
foods. - Have a balanced dinner the evening before the race. - In the two to
four hours before the race, ingest a mostly carbohydrate, bland breakfast of about 300
to 400 calories. - Hydrate properly -- not too little, not too much. - Try a bagel
with reduced fat cream cheese, oatmeal, a banana, an energy bar, or a replacement meal
shake. As to nutrition myths, much wisdom previously thought to be gospel now
turns out to be merely apocryphal. As food for thought -- puns intended -- it may
be fun for to ruminate on ten of these myths: - We must eat five or six
small meals a day. - We must avoid saturated fat. - We must eat before 8
pm. - We primarily must eat vegetables, fruits, and grains. - Foods labeled
"fat-free" or "transfat-free" have no fat or transfat. - Eating cholesterol (such
as egg yolks) raises serum cholesterol. - One gram of protein contains exactly
four calories. - Not exercising will turn muscles into fat. - Natural foods
are always healthy. - Diet sodas are better than regular sodas. In future
installments, I will provide insights on the origin of these myths and the facts we can
use going forward in adopting good nutrition approaches to achieve optimal health,
weight management, energy, and performance. Tamieca McCloud - by

Member since March 27, 2011 What brought you to Front Runners? When I
decided to consider joining a running club, I did a lot of research in the area.
One of the first things I looked for was an LGBT club, but I also considered other
criteria. After my first FRNY Fun Run, I didn’t even bother checking out the
others on my short list. FRNY felt right for me. Though I knew no one, the usual
high level of discomfort I feel in unfamiliar groups was minimized by
the welcome I received. That was a big deal to me, as I can be a serious
wall flower in new social situations. The FRNY energy was positive and seemed
genuine, and there was no...pressure. I couldn’t help but feel like I’d want to be
a part of, and get to know, this group of people.
Will you be running the Pride Run later this month? Yes! This
will be my first Pride Run and I’m really looking forward to it. I’ll actually be
out of town until the night before, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed for good travel
karma. What is your favorite distance or race?I don’t know, yet. I’ve always
loved to sprint, when given the opportunity. But, it’s not something that I’d ever
trained for, and I haven’t done it in a while. Since September, I’ve been focusing
on a personal challenge of being able to go for longer distances (5K to half marathon).
It’s been hard, but I’m getting there. Really, I’d like to see what I’m still
�capable of at the 200-400M range...with proper training. What is your
favorite post-run/workout treat? Ice cream and/or beer. What is your
relationship status?We’ve recently hit 14 years (OMG!). If she hasn’t dropped my
butt by now, she’s stuck with me.
How do you spend your days (i.e., what do you do to pay the rent)? I’m
the Director of IT, for an NYC-based non-profit. Besides running, what else
do you like to do for fun?I study martial arts (is that considered "fun"?), photography
and guitar, and I read a lot. Oh, and I like to play basketball. If I’m honest, I
think my hobby is collecting hobbies...
What is one thing you’d like to share that might surprise your fellow Front
Runners? I’m a licensed HAM (amateur radio operator), but have never touched a
radio; and... I’ve cleared 6’ tall men in a single leap. Some of the girls pass the
time during longer runs by playing games. One such game is "Two Truths and a Lie."
It’s your turn:I’ve made cars, for a living; I was a member of the Armed Forces; I
was traded for drugs in an Italian night club. With Front Runners You Are Never Running
Solo - by Karl Rutter
While doing the Bay to Breakers 100th Anniversary race in San Francisco, I decided
to take advantage of the network of runners and reach out to San Francisco Front
Runners. Bob of SFFR got back to me immediately even offering to pick me up for
the run on Saturday. I was so touched that someone I didn’t know wanted to ensure I felt
welcome.
Fortuitously, Megan and Blossom were in SF as well and Richard Ervais had just moved
back. Just like FRNY, SFFR welcomed all us New Yorkers warmly; we chatted about San
Francisco versus New York and more. It was a great way to kick off a Saturday weekend
vacation and good prep for the race the next day.
Lions and tigers and naked bears, oh my! I saw everything along the 12K race route;
naked runners, the contingent of Elvis-es, folks dressed for the prom, Penguins dancing
together on Hayes Street, Salmon swimming against the current, centipedes (13 people
running together in the race) and a few speedsters who looked as if they were trying to
make a PR. You can have your PR -- I’ll take another jello-shot, thank you very
much. When we hit the Hayes Street hill it was impressive how many people stopped
to party, of course the neighborhood helped with house parties and music filling the
streets -- complete with beverage distribution. The mood was very festive with dancing,
singing, cheering, air guitar-ing, and flying tortillas. Once we passed the Hayes Street
hill the scenery got more green and flat. As we enjoyed the rolling hills and
sights of the Park. I also saw Front Runners from the morning before coming back
with their finishers medals; they were sweet to cheer me on with "Woohoo, go Front
Runner," as I passed. We turned out of the park and onto the Great Highway to the sight
of the beach waves breaking on shore (hence the name, Bay to Breakers) and the finish
line a few yards ahead of us. Finishers medal around my neck, I completed the
100th Bay to Breakers race.
It was fun race, more of a parade than a race, I got to meet some nice people, had
a jello-shot or two, saw a city I like from a different perspective and made new
friends. Membership does have its privileges.
You are invited!
San Francisco Front Runners wants to let FRNY know about several events they have coming
up. Email bi-coastal Front Runner Richard Ervais for more info.

By Zander Ross Dear Ann Zanders,
A few months ago I tried something new, a nude marathon. Oh my! Was it fun!!! But the
best part was the runner in front of me, she was not only a foxy girl, but fast!
She made me PR, and all that just to talk to her, and of course, to get her phone
number. So as time went on, we became a happy couple. Now, I get to see that beautiful
body almost everyday.
Last week was my birthday and my girlfriend decided to give me a "nice" celebratory
gift. So she came to my house on Saturday and because my mother was upstairs doing her
cooking, cleaning and laundry, we decided to go down to the basement and "enjoy"
ourselves. My mother told me she was leaving, but had put laundry in the dryer upstairs,
and gave me specific instructions to take it out of the dryer as soon as the buzzer went
off. God forbid if I don’t follow her instructions to the teeth. So, my
�ladyfriend and I got quite involved "unwrapping" my "gift" downstairs and just as
she was about to deliver more of her goods, the buzzer jolted us, and we chased each
other upstairs, with not a single item of clothing on ourselves. As we reached the top
of the stairs our eyes were blinded by the camera flashes coming from the many guests
that yelled "SURPRISE"!!!! Followed by shrieking gasps and a deafening
silence. Just then a loud thump came from behind the crowd; my grandma had dropped
to the floor, still clutching her empanada. Not only did the party start and end
that very second, but every guest got to take a nice souvenir picture home in their
cameras. Ann Zanders, my girlfriend doesn’t want to come to my house anymore, but
I really like her, and would love to make her part of my family, especially now that
everybody "knows" her pretty well. What should I do?
Signed: Wrinkle Susan
Dear Wrinkle Susan,
My, my, my!!! Perhaps we should listen to our mothers more and stick to one chore at a
time. Mixing pleasure with work, doesn’t always comes out right. If you like
Rachel that much you will have to entice her with your "goods" and slowly introduce her
to your family -- perhaps outside of the home will be a better place, in a terrain that
is unfamiliar to both parties. Your basement and house could bring unsavory
memories. Your mother will know you like this girl and she will be happy knowing
she is getting another daughter. By the way, the next time your mother tells you to
do something, put your clothes on before doing it. Oh, and don’t run around the house
with your girlfriend in chase. Should you want to run naked with your girlfriend again,
check out nuderuns.com for a listing of naked races. Please send me the hospital’s
address and I will send flowers to your grandma!

Marina Dao - profile by Fred Pfaff
Graphic Transformation
A novel anniversary converted Martha Marina Dao from cheerleader to runner, and she’s
become a designing force for FRNY.
Before she says a word, her eyes reach out and kiss me.Immediately, I understand why
Martha became an instant favorite in the FRNY circle since she joined last October.
Friends cite her "zest for life" so often it sounds clich?. She’ll book a flight to
anywhere on a moment’s notice when a friend is in trouble. And she’ll volunteer for any
job--from sorting the storeroom to designing the full communications package for this
year’s 30th anniversary Pride Run--that’s open with the expanding club."FRNY is lucky to
have someone so energetic and so talented," says club president Megan Jenkins. "The
first time Martha emailed me, I took a look at her website and said, ’I hope she sticks
with the club and I hope she does pro bono work!"But it’s her spirit that cements her
place in the FRNY family. "Her life force is contagious," says Gemma Sanz de la Serna.
"She never stops pushing to improve, yet she never misses the fun in a new experience."A
month after Eric Maldonado met Martha at the membership picnic last fall, he was
agonizing over whether to leave a job he hated without anything lined up. Martha took
him aside. "She said, ’you’re going to be fine, Eric. I’m not worried about you,’" he
recounts. "There was such reassurance in her voice. After I’d quit my job a month later
and started a new adventure, she high-fived me for designing a life for myself."Martha
doesn’t do anything halfway. She may not run fast-her best half marathon is 2:45-but she
trains hard. She’s had her ups and downs in romance but she approaches every encounter
as if "she’s the one." And five years ago, no one would have predicted she’d be crossing
any finish lines. She’s another FRNY member for whom running is the centerpiece of a
sweeping transformation."Let me show you a picture! Let me show you a picture!"She pulls
out her iPhone, swipes the screen a few times, turns it around and extends it. In the
photo, a size-18, chop-haired woman in baggy jeans and a tee shirt slumps against a
railing. There’s no way this is the same person, my mind says, as I glance from the
photo to the voluptuous brunette across the table.Running started with a
declaration.Martha first came to NYC in 1996 to get a graduate degree in computer
graphics from Pratt, after working six years as an art director for an ad agency in her
native Caracas, Venezuela. She was 27. She determined to "do everything that New York
has to offer." Circle Line, Empire State Building, New Year’s Eve in Times Square...she
checked off the list. And she lined up on First Avenue every November to cheer on fellow
Venezuelans in the Marathon. Her passion for the race made friends suggest, often, that
she run someday, but she deflected them. She’d hated everything about running since she
was forced to do it in grammar school gym class.The day of the Marathon in 2008, she
heard the 40th anniversary of the race was coming up in 2009. Instantly, she heard
�herself say out loud, "I’ll be 40, too. I’m running that race."It had been decades since
she had run so much as 50 yards, so a Venezuelan friend gave Martha a personal training
program and Marathon registration as a 40th birthday present. She walked and ran her way
to a 6:13 finish. Her finisher photo remains the principal wallpaper on her phone. In
it, she’s crossing the finish line, arms outstretched, like she’s won the Olympics.For
Martha, the journey there was epic. On September 11, 2003, she quit her job as a graphic
designer at Merrill Lynch because the 9/11 memories weighed too heavily in the downtown
space. She traded exercise and eating right for pasta by the potful and a sedentary
freelance grind. By 2007, she was bulging out of size 16. As the disappointment of a
breakup settled in, "I said, ’this is not me. I need to go back to the girl I was on
September 10, 2001," she recalls. So she walked into the Weight Watchers office across
the street, and hired a trainer at the Synergy gym on the second floor. She’d never been
in the either place before.She found her way to FRNY in the same way she found
running-slowly. The 2009 Pride Run formed the midpoint of her 9+1 that year, and she was
impressed by the spirit and festivity, particularly after the race. Still, it took her a
couple weeks to wander into the park for a Wednesday night fun run, which just happened
to be a Wild Women’s Wednesday. She joined the group for dinner and made her first FRNY
friend, Megan Jenkins, but didn’t really connect with anyone else. Intimidated by what
she called "professional runners," she headed off on travel the rest of the summer. That
September, after a breakup, she decided to give Wednesday another chance.This tall woman
with an embracing smile came up to her, she remembers. When she told Sandi Rowe that she
ran slowly with frequent walk breaks, Sandi said, "Don’t worry, I’ll join you and follow
you whatever pace you go." They did about two lower loops walking and running, and
started a real friendship. "Sandi was so sweet and detached," Martha recalls. "It was
like, it doesn’t matter how you train; I’m welcoming you to join us. That was the
message."Importantly, she has more than returned the favor. "Martha puts people and
relationships first," says Sandi, who explains how Martha led the carting, and the
laughter, when Sandi and partner Rachel Kliegman moved from Brooklyn to Harlem this
spring. "When she says she’ll be there, she absolutely will be. My world is fuller with
her in it, and I’d do anything for her."The road to whole starts at one.At 24, she was
traveling with a Venezuelan friend. A physical exchange sparked in a joking moment
turned into an 18-month relationship when Martha realized, "I like this." But the
romance didn’t survive her move to NYC, and she went into a seven-year denial. "I said,
’Not me. Why me?’" Martha recalls. "I’m from a traditional, Catholic, close-minded
environment. I’m gonna get married, have kids, all that. I’m going to be ’normal.’"At
33, on an extended trip home to Caracas, Martha met a woman whose love transcended her
denial. Although they tried for five years, the NY BAR stood in the way of her lover
continuing a career here. After they broke up, Martha dated for two and a half years,
continually picking women in denial. So this year, she’s taking a break."2011 is my
one-on-one year," she says. "Having incredible FRNY people in my life has complemented
an incredible space in myself. I’m not sitting around wondering why am I single. I’m
exercising, getting healthier, and preparing for when my Juliet comes."Meantime, she’s
going all out for the 2011 NY Marathon. Hill training and swimming practice form the
highlights of her week. She’s running more than walking, breathing more sustainably, and
quickening her pace. If history is any indication, she’s also on the road to a stronger
romance."The woman that ultimately captivates Martha’s heart will have hit the jackpot,"
says Eric Maldonado. "We have a saying in Spanish, ’todo perfume bueno, viene en frasco
peque?o.’ Every good perfume comes in a small bottle. That is Martha. Board Meeting
May board meeting minutes are available here. The adjusted 2011 budget that was approved
is available here.
All board meetings are open to members in good standing. The next board meeting
will be Tuesday, June 7 at 7 PM at the home of Sandi Rowe, 235 West 132nd Street, Apt.

Volume XXVIII Issue 7 I’ve often heard Koach Kelsey tell potential new members of
Front Runners New York that there are any number of ways to participate in the
club. Some people attend almost every FRNY workout and social event (though this
is increasingly challenging with all the new programs being offered); some people attend
only one kind of event, but with clock-like regularity; and some people drift in and
out, attending lots of events one month, then taking time off for travel, injury, or
pursuit of other interests. For as many members as we have (more than 600 at
last count), there are at least that many different relationships to FRNY, and maybe
even more because those relationships can change time and again. The good news is
that even if you go away for a while, or only come once a month, FRNY will always be
here, and you can return at any time to find that people are still training, still
laughing together, and still rooting for their teammates. For 32 years FRNY has been
supporting LGBT athletes, and because of the incredible energy of our many volunteers,
it seems quite likely that we will be around for at least another 32 more.
Every year we see a spike in new memberships right after the Pride Run. This is
true, too, this year, after our inspiring and emotional 30th anniversary race. I
want to bid a warm welcome to all these new members. And, as Koach Kelsey would say,
Front Runners is here for you. Put the club’s resources to use the way that works best
for you. Whatever your running goal, however often you want to participate, no matter
your pace or preferred distance, I’m certain that you will find a lot of support, many
friends, and unexpected opportunities here. Wishing you all the best,

Kelsey LouieI want to remind everybody about some tips on how to run in warm and hot
weather more safely. Hydrate!People tell you to reduce the amount of
caffeinated beverages and alcohol because they will dehydrate you. To be
realistic, I’ll just tell you to be wary of your hydration level, especially if you
drink alcohol or caffeine. You lose more water while running in warmer weather, so you
need to be able to replace these fluid levels. Don’t wait until you are thirsty;
when you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Run with a bottle,
hydration pack, or a few dollars to purchase something to drink-note that Gatorade is $3
in Central Park. You also lose a great deal of salt and electrolytes through sweat and
should consider using sports replacement drinks. Dress appropriately. While you
should do this all the time(!), it is particularly important in warmer weather.
Clothing should be lightly colored and made of lightweight and breathable fabrics.
Wicking fabrics pull moisture away from the skin, also helping you feel more
comfortable, unlike cotton. The greater the evaporation, the greater the cooling
effect. It is better to wear a shirt than not while you run, more skin in direct
sunlight will get you hotter faster. (But if you must lose the shirt, the rest of
�the club won’t mind.) Wearing sunscreen will also protect your skin. Several brands are
available which are designed specifically for athletes that are less likely to drip into
the eyes and cause stinging or burning. When and where you run.
Choose a shady course or have access to water. Run in the morning or in the
evening, when the sun isn’t the strongest. When running in the middle of the day,
consider a treadmill or another form of exercise. Avoid running outside if the heat
is above 90 degrees and the humidity is above 80%. If the humidity in the air
is so high that it prevents the process of evaporation of sweat from the skin, you can
quickly overheat. Signs of heat-related problems.Signs of dehydration are a
persistent elevated pulse after finishing your run and dark yellow
urine. Signs of heat exhaustion are dizziness, nausea, chills, and ceased
sweating.STOP RUNNING if these symptoms occur, find shade, and drink. If you do not
feel better, seek medical attention. Heatstroke occurs when the body fails to
regulate its own temperature, and the body temperature continues to rise. Symptoms
include mental changes (such as confusion, delirium, or unconsciousness) and skin that
is red, hot, and dry, even under the armpits. Most importantly, know your body and
do not get TOO hung up on training schedules. Use your judgment and be
sensible! Koach Kelsey
By Mike Terry and Rachel Cutler
July is incredibly full of multisport events all around the tri-state area -there are an incredible array of multsport races to choose from this month. Let us
know if you’re tri-curious and we can point you in the right direction!
If you don’t yet own a bike, or you are feeling skittish about jumping into open water,
remember that there are lots of ways to multisport before you take on a full
triathlon. For instance, have you taken a look at a duathlon (run-bike-run)
or an aquathlon (swim-run)? The Jersey Shore is also full of open water swims
this month -- check them out!
Another great way to get your feet wet is to compete in a triathlon
relay! Assemble two other friends and you can each take one leg of the
triathlon.There are numerous tris along the Jersey Shore all summer that allow relay
teams.(And the Jersey Pride Triathlon on 7/9 is one of them!)
If you’re competing as a triathlete this summer, July is high season for
you. Your training and resting should be very strategic at this point as you
aim to optimize your performance over the July-September race season. Go for
it and focus on your races!
We hope to see you all on the Asbury Park boardwalk the morning ofJuly 9 as we take on
our major team-targeted triathlon for the the season, the Jersey Pride Triathlon!
Even if you don’t plan to race, we hope you’ll come cheer us on and help support our
FRNY water station!
By Miles Harter I start teaching sports nutrition classes for FRNY
soon, on developing a good nutrition plan for top running (and other sports!)
performance, high energy, weight management, and general good health. All of these
concepts are inter-connected, of course. I will cut through the clutter of sometimes
conflicting information, and concentrate on what works.I started studying nutrition
about ten years ago, as part of my certification as an American Council on Exercise
personal trainer. I now devour (yes, pun intended) the best nutrition books and academic
blogs, and also, using Google scholar, the latest studies.The NYTimes on-line Well blog
provides good coverage of hot sports issues, ranging from minimalist running to
artificial sweeteners. As a "bonus," the many readers’ comments on the Well blog entries
can be more instructive than the original write-ups!It is important to read any
journalistic accounts of health studies with a critical (perhaps jaundiced!?) eye. A
recent Well entry made the surprising announcement that exercising in a fasted state
burns less -- and not more -- fat, contrary to what many of us have learned. However, a
closer reading of the entry shows that the Times writer based her conclusions on another
report. That report, in turn, summarized several studies. I reviewed the full-length
version of that report. It turns out that that report failed to mention other key
studies showing that training on an empty stomach does burn more fat. In addition, the
report’s findings have only very limited application. Bottom line: The jury is still out
on this issue. Anyway, each person’s body reacts differently to everything, including
training/running, in a fasted state. Yes, here again we encounter the idea of
bioindividuality.Unquestionably, though, when racing (and not trying to lose fat),
everyone must be properly fueled, both before and during the race. The pre-race meal
will be sufficient for the first hour, but in a race of ten miles or more, after the
first hour, one should consume at least 100 to 250 calories, including the vital
electrolytes, and continue to do so each hour. FRNY Nutrition ClassesMiles
Harter’s nutrition classes start Saturday, July 23 at 12 PM at his home, which is across
the street from Rutgers, 253 West 73rd Street, Apt. 10J. Email Miles for more
�information. William Hatton - by Sandi Rowe
Member since June 10, 2011
What first brought you to Front Runners and what inspired you to join?
My friend David Swinarski was the first one to introduce me to the Front Runners. I was
inspired to join because it seemed like a great way to get in shape and be social at the
same time.
When did you first start running?
June 10, 2011
What is your favorite distance or race?
The Pride Run is my favorite race! It’s also my first and only race so far.
What is/are your running goal(s) for 2011?
My running goal for 2011 is a 6 minute mile or to not get lost during the fun runs.
Do you have a motto for getting through a tough run or race?
Look cute!
What is your favorite post-run/workout treat?
Cheez Whiz! (Don’t judge, I’m from Arkansas.)
What is your relationship status?
Single *sad face*
How do you spend your days (i.e., what do you do to pay the rent)?
I spend my days as a Website Analyst for Macys.com.
Besides running, what else do you like to do for fun?
I like to eat, sleep, drink, mediate and pester people for attention.
What is one thing you would like to share that might surprise your fellow Front
Runners?
I’m a Republican. By Zander Ross Dear Ann Zanders,
A while ago I went running with a great group of people from Front Runners and met a
cute, sweet and friendly guy. We got along really well, and I thought about inviting him
to my golf outing the following week. To my surprise, he was an excellent golfer.
Anyway, my buddies liked him a lot and made him part of their team. This made me a bit
uncomfortable as I wanted to spend time together and I was afraid of what they might say
about me. His group took off before mine. I was so distracted by trying to catch up to
them, I kept messing up, and not even paying attention to what hole I was playing. At
one point I caught up to him, we chatted a little and I asked him, "By the way, what
hole am I playing next?" He answered, "You are on the 7th hole and I’m on the 8th hole."
I could barely hear his answers as I was so mesmerized by his looks and good manners.
More golfing, more eye contact, and more ... trying to get close to him. Once again I
got lost in thought and forgot where I was. I asked again, "What hole am I playing?" to
which he replied, "You are on the 10th hole and I’m on the 11th hole" and so on until we
finished the game.
I really like him and I would like to ask him out a few more times, but I’m not sure how
to make it a sweet and romantic date ... As we finished our beers at the clubhouse, and
I was searching in my head for conversation, I asked him what he did for work. Suddenly
he became quite shy, but he answered "Well ... I sell tampons," and turned bright red!!!
But immediately he asked me what I did for a living. Perhaps to hide his embarrassment.
Little did he know, my answer would shock him even more. "I sell toilet paper," I said,
and with a grin on my face I added, "See, I’m still a hole behind"... ouch! Not too
romantic, huh? Dear Ann Zanders, please help me recover and find a way for him to like
me.
Signed,
Hole in One
Dear Hole in One:
Hmm ... you better think more before you open your hole, I mean your mouth, next
time. Not all is lost, you can still make a good third impression and repair the damage
you may have caused. I am sure you are not that crass, it just slipped out of your mouth
and you spoke before you thought. Now, first of all, it’s best not to talk about your
jobs for the next outing. You must take control and do it all for him. Invite him to a
nice dinner, have it ALL set up so all you will ask is for him to be at a certain
location at a certain time and the rest is up to you. Make it casual, but sweet and
romantic. Show him you worked hard on this third date and you are INTERESTED. Arrange to
have drinks first, allow plenty of time to relax and to walk to the next venue for
dinner. Rushing is not romantic. Buy lots of beautiful
flowers and arrange them beforehand. No cheap flowers, make them special ... it all
sends the right message. After drinks, walk to the restaurant and ask for a semi-private
table, so the conversation can be open and relaxed. Put your arm around him a few times,
you will show him protection this way. After dinner, go for a walk, more chat, more arms
on each other, hold hands, you will see how it goes and how comfortable he feels with
the small touches. Go for an ice cream, walk to a quiet place and well ... the rest is
up to you. Be sweet, be complimentary and positive, I bet you can win him over in no
�time. Have control of yourself, your mouth and take control of the situation. He will
like and enjoy that. Good luck! And may your next date be a Hole in One!
Ann Zanders
Should you have any comments or questions, please send them to Dear Ann Zanders. Timmy
Wilson - profile by Daniel Barrett Timmy Wilson was worried about being gay when
he was in high school.
He attended a Catholic school in Des Moines, Iowa, so he had just cause for worry.
He went to see a priest in the confessional, and he admitted he was gay.The priest said,
"That’s not something to worry about. Be a good person, and be kind to others. That’s
what counts."
Around the same time, Timmy had a close friend who died unexpectedly, and the
combination of the priest’s words and the friend’s death made Timmy think: "Life is
short. I’m going to accept who I am and enjoy the time that I have."
When Timmy came out, no one seemed to mind.
Timmy feels that his positive attitude and friendliness helped people to see past his
sexual orientation-to like him simply for being Timmy.
After high school, Timmy went to college to study theater. (He continues to love theater
to this day, and is sometimes involved in off-off-Broadway projects. He’s more likely to
be in the audience than on-stage, currently, and he’s grateful to a close friend in the
industry who will occasionally take him to free shows. And musical theater is important
to his running: Dan Gallagher has mentioned that Timmy "runs best" when accompanied by
show tunes.)
Timmy was jobless post-graduation; at the point of returning to his family (now in
Seattle) he learned of an opening at MTV in New York City -- he got the job, and he has
been with MTV ever since. He has been involved with production and budgets. At our
interview, he expressed sadness over the cancellation of MTV’s Spring Break -- a staple
of his adolescence, and of the memories of many FRNY members.
In NYC, Timmy saw his social life flourish. He took ownership of part of a house on Fire
Island, and he became involved in the drag scene there. At our interview, he happily
described the annual tradition of a Fourth-of-July drag parade. One summer, years ago,
drag queens from Cherry Grove were turned away from a restaurant in the Pines. Since
that historic event, every year, queens have stormed the Pines on July 4.
Timmy’s involvement in the Fire Island scene has not been limited to dressing up. He’s
also known for his excellent cooking (he relishes the kitchen space and the grilling
opportunities Fire Island provides). He has occasionally hosted events at which he’s
deep-fried wontons, Twinkies, Oreos, and just about anything else he can get his hands
on.
On Fire Island, years ago, Timmy met two runners-- a couple, Dan Gallagher and Peter
Shearer. Dan and Peter encouraged Timmy to run with them, but Timmy worried about his
pace. It was not till Gallagher and Shearer adopted a child-- and thus were hampered
with a stroller-- that Timmy truly felt he could keep up.
Dan and Peter persuaded Timmy to join Front Runners New York, and though Timmy was
initially reluctant, he soon began posting photos of himself in running gear. After five
months, he ran his first race-- Grete’s Gallop, a half-marathon --and he felt he had
officially caught the running bug.
As a member of FRNY, Timmy has contributed more than just his enthusiastic running. He
has been a leader of the Social Committee, along with Anthony Ng and Sandi Rowe, and he
has occasionally participated in variety-show events. For example, one year, he and some
friends memorably performed a tune based on "Hey, Big Spender." Their number was
entitled "Hey, Fast Runner," and it told the (true) story of a new, young runner in the
club, flanked by rabid admirers.
Though Timmy (modestly) says his PRs are not currently as frequent as they once were, he
did notably well in the 2011 New Jersey Marathon, where he clocked in at 3:22. He has
also participated in races out-of-state, from Phoenix to Disney World, and he hopes to
enlist himself in Boston’s big run --eventually. He says he will need to shave off
twelve minutes of running time before doing so. In the meantime, he keeps active with
other races and occasional triathlons, though he claims he is a terrible cyclist. He
�resists purchasing a new bike, and acknowledges that this purchase would almost
definitely help his cause.
Timmy speaks fondly of his photogenic boyfriend, Mikey Tran, who was briefly involved in
FRNY running events. (Timmy says Mikey gave it "the old college try.") Though Mikey does
not currently run with the group, he does escort Timmy to many FRNY social outings, and
he has been known to pop up in FRNY website photos. The two met at Baracuda five years
ago, when their drunken friends took a shine to each other. (Though these friends never
saw each other again, Mikey and Timmy did make a subsequent date, and the rest is
history.)
Mikey, an up-and-coming figure at Christian Dior, has brought Timmy along on
Dior-sponsored trips to Paris and Las Vegas-favorites among Timmy’s memories. The swanky
hotels have been an added plus.
FRNY members may recall Mikey’s recent participation in the Boxers Pride Run fundraiser.
Timmy persuaded Mikey to sell shots shirtless-and this fundraising endeavor proved quite
successful for the club.
Upon meeting me, Timmy spoke excitedly about his plans for Halloween 2011. He said he’s
already debating with himself. Should he dress as Darth Maul? Should he be a villainess
from "X-Men"? Would the skin-tight suit be cumbersome?Timmy’s friend, Dan Gallagher, has
attested to Timmy’s unique sense of style. Said Dan: "Timmy’s running fashion is quite
eclectic. One day he can be in big lady style mumus with accompanying headbands, and the
next he’s sporting the latest in running tech gear." And: "The only thing that changes
faster than his fashion is his hair style: bed-head one minute, gel faux-hawk the next,
and a bouffant wig to round out the day."
Anthony Ng, Timmy’s fellow Social Committee member, also offered a fond report on Timmy.
"He is great to work with," said Anthony. "He brings great ideas to the table when
it comes to diversifying and stepping out from the conventional social events of the
club."
It’s clear that Timmy is a good guy with a sane head on his shoulders. He says he likes
his life and would happily choose more of the same for his future-more running, more
MTV, more elaborate costumes.
It’s to be hoped that Timmy’s wish will come true.
Many of us are eager to see his impersonation of Darth Maul. Board Meeting
