Front Runners has changed over the years. What started as a response to ihe political climate of the early 1980's in tandem with a common inferest of running has now evolved info a group of over 350 individuals who run, bike and sometimes even swim in pursuit of athleticism within and outside of the gay community. It's only fitting that we choose to celebrate the great diversify of our dub with the actual story lived by our members, compiled here for the first time. Front Runners is rnore than just a dub as is demonstrated within these pages. Enjoy the stories and continue to work on making your own for our future. Ted Paszek President 2004 �I can still picture the 1986 December 10 Miler. I was wearing those gold Epirvs shoes(! rnean, who didn't back then?), bvt o+herwise looking a little shabby gentile, as they tad-fully say in New Orleans. A light snow was falling. A perfect day for a race, if yoo ask rne. "Go leo! Go Jeff1" Who's +hat cheering for rne? I know leo, the lycra--dad rvMer in fabulous +earn colors running besides rne. We'll wage a furk>Us mano-a-rnano for the next 70 rninutes or .so as usual, bvt how do his +earnmates know rny name? ''Ge+ 'ern leo. Don't Je+ Jeff ge+ away!" The water stop is understaffed. In fad, no one is there. Jus+ frozen cups on the +able. If's a little slippery, and I can't quite ge+ in. leo grabs two cups and gives one to me. "Hey, Jefft Get leo! A coor>fe of exceedingly important and ego-boosting ticks under 70, we cross the line together. There's Joe and Marty, ahead of us - no surprise. Patrick and Dave too. "Nice flnish guys!'" A coople of rnonfhs later Tina and I are members of Front Runners. I can'+ begin to i!'N:19ine -the las+ 17 years without +he friendships and racing camaraderie. And the fabulous uniforms haven'+ hurt much eifher, for +hat maHer. Jeff£ing/efon I rernember with gratitude every Front Runner who remained after a race +o cheer on fellow teammates who shared +heir dream if not their pace. My memories, all pleasurable, extend back flve years when I returned +o New York frorn Florida. The Front Runners welcomed rne and provided a warrn, farniliar farnily in a .sometimes cold and irnper.sonal city. My favorite rnemories include running the Hot Chocolate Run in frigid weather, changing info dry clothes by stripping in the even colder wind, and heading back +o Rllf9ers Church for bagels. I also love the annual Brooklyn Pride run which brings all +he Manha++anites +o my �back yard where I don'+ need +o commute +o get +o -lhe race. This collection of mofivated runners is wHhoot equal; I am proud every nme I wear my FRNY jersey, whether with fhe dub or by myself, because I know we belong to the closest knit ruMing dub in fhe cay. I look forward to many more runs with -this great gang and I look forward fo traveling to other cities (Philadelphia Marathon) and represenfing From Runners New York and our message of LGBT strength and unify. Bryce Wvncler Has it already been one fourteenth of a cenfury since this small town Canadian boy gof off the train at Penn Station, shaft- of wheat in mouth, ready to take on the big city? My, how nrne flies and ·snJI no gray hair. Looking back over those years, if is abundantly dear how central FRNY has been to my life in New York. a warm bosom in which fo seek solace and imbibe the milk of friendship and athletics. Indeed -the doses+ friendships I have forged in -this beloved cay almost all have a connection with FRNY. From the very first time I entered Rutgers Church and was warmly greeted by Jan from Australia in January 1999 to the much appreciated company on -those pre-marathon long runs, this dub has been a cornerstone of my New York ~ience. And I look forward +o many more years in your delicious company, at leas+ until your government smartens up and deports me. Thank you for being your sexy. sweaty and sweet selves week in week out, boys and girls. Love, Phil. Ph;! W8hba I was an innocent young thing when I arrived in NYC in 1982. Soon after in an attempt to keep up with my pqriner, Dave l'ifche.s, I joined +he McBurney YMCA the Y being one of fhe few gyrn options available in those days. There I met and started working out with George Waffle, one of the founding members of FRNY. As is well 4 �known, homosexuals are always on +he prowl in order +o induce others to join their nefarious organizations. SO I now find myself a veritable 20 year patriarch of the dub. I sornefirnes feel I shall soon be like one of +he old geezers at the Y who would waddle from steam roorn to shower and back all +he while remarking, 'Thurdy yarrhs, l'v bin ah rnehrnbehr fuh thurdy yarrhs". This year I went back +o racing. (Actually, I never race-1 just do a lo+ of fun runs with number). In +he 80's I was a faithful, plodding, middle of +he pack rnernber of FR racing and triathlon +earns. Now running blistering 9~11 minute miles depending on distance, temperature and humidify, I am incredulous +o find I still place around +he SO""' percentile in my age group. My absolute favorite FR rnoment took place during the vifuperous discussion on the first racing singlet selection back in 1984 or 5. There were endless debates about color, size, cut, male/female models, material, and whether or not +o include the word "gay". Russell Redrnond, designer of the fabulous gray long sleeve jersey with the big pink triangle, injected a note of needed levify +o the situation when he remarked, "Racing singlet? Racing singlet? What this club needs is a racing boa!... Words +o ponder. How important is FRNY +o me? Had I not the security and rnotivafion of club membership, I shudder +o think what rny weight and health situation would be now. Almost all of rny friends in New York have corne frorn the club. I belong +o a reading group comprised of other club members. I spend part of every other weekend in a FR singlet and rnost every ~rday morning eating bagels with a lot of really great men and wornen. And I was able +o gain FR infamy as the dumb blonde of +he fabled RunneHes. It has been so rnuc.h rewarding fun. Thanks +o all. Dan Elliot+ 5 �2004 is not even over, but it's already been a year of fantasiic memories for me-the Pride Run, lronrnan Germany, Reach the Beach, and much more. One memory that stands out for me is the Mother's Day Half Marathon.... it was a beavtiful day in May, perfect conditions for a 13.lmile run. I had no speciflc plans for the race; I just wanted to get out there and run as well as I could, using my heart rate monitor as a guide to set my speed. (The monitor was my .new toy for the season) Of course, as I stood at the starting line I found myself getting really nervous and wondering what was going to happen; I was also nervous because I was standing near the front of the crowd and those other women looked fast! I had to keep reminding myself to run my own race no matter what happened. As we ran the flrst loop of Central Park. I saw a bunch of Front Runner guys running the other way--when they saw me, they started yelling and cheering. &> far I was having a great race, and they really psyched rne up. I hit the IOK mark and noticed that I had gone faster than my best time for that distance-and I still had more than half the race to go. I started doing math in my head, and realized I was on my way to a PR--if I didn't blow it. I don't know what it would have been like to try to Anish that challenge by myself; I was lucky to know that I had friends out there running the race, and more friends running the other way who were supporting me, and that helped me hang on to Anish the race with a PR of rnore than I! minutes. It was an amazing day for me, and it was even more amazing because my teammates were out there with me. There are a lot of great things abovt being a Front Runner, and to me one of the best is having my friends around me while I'm racing-you all inspire me every step of the way. ClllUdis Cvmmings 6 �When the first week of November comes around I always look forward to the NYC Marathon, or what my non-running friends call one of my high holy days. The thing I remember abovt the twelve marathons I've run is not the times or the place I came in but the training with my friends that got me to the finish line. After trying to train for the marathon in 1985 I had to drop out halfway through the training because of injury. I had joined FRNY in 1984 and when I read in the newsletter in 1986 that the club was having running classes. I joined and became an active r>arf in the Front Runner family. With the help of fellow frontrunners who had run the 262 miles I w~:~s not only ~:~ble to stay injury free but exceeded my go~:~l beyond my expectation. There are so many J>eeple who not only suJ>porfed us in our training but throughout the course and at mile 24 and the finish line. Even though I have not been able to do much running since the operation on my foot, and the marathon is a race in my past, I do look forward to the day I can run again with my family of runners. All my best to those running the race this year and to those whose !>Ieasure is working the race or just cheering everyone on. Patrick Barker Front Runners was a very different dub when I joined in 1989. first, there was the political element which reflected the fimes. Thousands of gay men were still dying of AIDS. And the ba+tle for our civil righ+s had begun. The latter made for an exciting climate as grouJ>s like ACT UP, Queer Nation and Lesbian Avengers competed for attenfion. Also, Oulweekwas a must read, especially the notorious outings by Michael Signorile. Our monthly dub meetings were wild affairs, with 30 or more Front Runners cramJ>ed info small NYC aJ>arfmenfs. The affairs of the club and community at large were discussed at length. I had my first lhat Away 7 to �Piscataway" fun run in ~epternber of 1990. Over 75 FR's at+ended on a beautiful sunny ~unday afternoon, including now deceased friends Guy and Mickey. I believe if was one of the best at+ended "fun runs" ever. We barbecued and enjoyed the sun unfillate in the day. The world seemed a litHe more welcoming that afternoon. George Mayer FRNY was an invaluable source of sup!X>rt and friendship for me when I was first corning out, not jus+ providing me wifh great companionship but also providing all of us wah ev'adence that the gay family is a joyously diverse one-genders, colors, shapes qnd running ability. One particular treasured memory is crossing the finish line of the 1986 marathon and finding myself wrapped up in a welcome Mylar blanket and an even more welcome hug from volunteer ~+eve Gerben, forrner FRNY Presidenf. I was also greatly flattered to be told by another former presidenf, Jim Skofield(wearing a tasteful string of pearls), that I was the gayest person he knew. James Minier Thanks to Front Runners New York. I was able to join DC Frontrunners. I was living in Washington and absolutely sure that I was not going to fit in with Fronfrunners. Even though I jogged five days a week, I never got up the courage to join what I imagined were the elite Frontrunner athletes. In the spring of 1988, I vis"rted Bob lane, who has since moved to ~n Francisco, back to New York and back to ~an Francisco, and joined him on a Fronfrunner ~aturday morning Central Park run. Yes, many of the boys were way out of my league. Now pretty much everybody is way out of my league, but I digress. That spring day in 1988, I felt perfectly comfortable at the Frontrunner New York ~rday run. That �weekend changed my life. Ijoined DC Frontrunners. A few months later, DC Frontrunners rented a van and drove to New York for Pride Weekend. There is nothing like your firs+ time msgching in the NY Pride Parade. Marching with Frontrunners was an amazing, empowering experience. I figured, if I could do Pride Weekend in New York, I could do Gay Games in Vancouver and I did. I've met most of my friends through Frontrunners. I've been fo all the~ Games since Vancouver. If if wasn't for Frontrunners NY, I'm nof sure that I would have joined DC Frontrunners, and I would have. missed out on so much. B11rry Kropf OC Fronlrunners This club was the first gay thing I ever joined. And boy ami glad I did. I've run since I was 9, bvf never (to my knowledge) with a bunch of gay girls. Wow, they're hot. loren Mooney I was on the cross country team at Marisf College in the 1970's, and we used to talk about how crazy it would be fo run a marathon. how you would +rain for that kind of ctrStance. what our bodies would feel like at mile 18, mile 22, mile 262. None of us thought we would ever be +hat crazy. Nevertheless, I ran my flrst marathon not long thereaft-er, in New York in 1977, the second year the New York Road Runners used the five borouqh course (before 1976, the race consisted of four grueling laps of Central Park). I understood the basic concept: you had to run your +ail off for three months if you wanted +o do well. Most weeks that summer Jput in 50 miles, and the yellowed pages of my running log show two half marathon races with times of 1:30 and 1:43. I still visi+ed my parenfs on weekends now and again, and had done some of my +raining with a friend of 9 �mine from high school cross-counfry, Gary Myers. He ~nd IJ>Ianned to do the race together. He drove down from Saugerties, rny hometown, and stayed with me the nigh+ before the marathon at rny aJ>artrnent on Mulberry Street in Chinatown. CSorry guys, separate beds. This is not that kind of siory.) On the big day, rny morn and dad drove in, with Happy the Springer spaniel, and staked ovt a spot on the south end of Central Park. All I remember abovt the race was how easy the first 15 miles were, and how r:>rogressiVely difficult each mile got after that. Fourth Avenue in Brooklyn seemed io stretch into eternity, and they had carpeted a lane of the 59*' ~tree+ Bridge so runners wouldn'f w~r ovt their soles on the steel decking. The lest two miles in Central Park were 10 rninvte miles, a time I'd now be more likely to run at the start of the marathon than at the finish. I'll never forget the look on rny parent's faces when they ~w me corning through mile 25, and rny dad's exclamation of surprise: "Bobby!!." There were abovt 5000 flnishers, and I came in 1,632"d in 3:26 even, a time I have never since matched. Gary did a 2:52, but had to get oxygen in the emergency fent because he had an asthma a+tack at the finish line. Somehow we found my folks, and and I remember hobbling down the subway stairs at Central Park West to get back io Chinatown. Morn had baked a 7-:r a sort of postmarathon reception, not r~lizing that I would not be that interested in socializing after running a marathon. I retired to the bathroom to soak in the tub before dinner. When the lasagna was ready, they had to come and wake rne up: I had fallen asleep in the bathtub. Would that every marathon was es good as the first( la~gna and I had invited some friends over for Bob Nelson I'm a new member of FRNY, having just joined in April.

Having ended a long term relationshit> in March of this year, I found myself looking towards my Central Park jogs as resj:>ite---a time for reflection and emofional release. ~afurday mornings with my new FR friends took my mind away from this transitional anxiety hell'ing me fo focus on the shared community of the "run".

(if takes your rnind off the !'roblem) Paul RtiCine 11 �I joined FRNY in the autumn of 1982-shortly affer finishing my second NYC marathon-and was delighted to find a like minded group of gay men and women who knew how to sweat, strain, work towards PR's...and do so with humor, style and more than a little sarcasm. In those days, ~rday morning and Wednesday evening runs would draw anywheres from 15-25 runners, enough so you were pushed, but not enough so tNt+ we couldn't frt into the small Greek coffee shop to which we aft-erwards repaired for pancakes and chit-chat. I felt at home almost at once and that sense of belonging to a community so many of us seek early in our "coming-out" phase. The next year, a small group of us who 7r were training for the '83 NYC Marathon would meet at Street and Broadway for once a week training runs up to the GW bridge and back The group offen induded(but was not limited to) Bill Beehouwer, Bill Dolan(who always wore tube socks on his hands instead of gloves), Mark Mascolini, Bob Brins, Dave Mose, Jon LiVingston, Marty King, Marty Perl and myself. Sometimes Sue Foster would join us for at least a six mile leg of the twenty mile 'burner". I remember huffing and puffing, waiting for my second wind to kick in and watching enviously as Sue---by far the strongest and savviest runner in the dub---glided serenely along ahead, seemingly oblivious to the effort of clicking off those seven and half minute miles--a pretty stiff pace for me to hold in those days. Our reward for having made it through the run was always a banana daiquariCno alcohol)at +he Orange Julius stand on B'way and 72nd. And pancakes. And more pancakes. And still more pancakes....The day of the '83 marathon dawned cold and and dank with a threat of approaching rain. As we boarded the buses that would take us out to Staten Island to the staging area, we first heard about the horrors of the marines killed in the Beirut US Embassy 12 �bombing. It was a somber day.•..As the race started, it began to drizzle.•. by the time we hit 4*' Avenue in Brooklyn, it was a steady, cold rain.

For the firs+ time, I was prepared for the roar of sound from the spectators on First Avenue in Manhaftan as we came off the Queensboro Bridge and headed north. As I hit the bridge info the Bronx, I heard thaf Kiwi Rod lflXon has r>assed a struggling Geoff Smith in the last quarter mile to win the men's rac.e...l put my head down and ran and ran. I ran through the glory of the Mount Zion Bat>fist Choir In full chorus in Harlem; I ran the terrible, short incline from S*' Avenue and into Central Park. I was almost surf:>rised when I turned the corner from Columbus Circle back into Central Park and the finish line loomed ahead. I ran under it and was elated to see my finishing time---3:18:11....a personal best. As I moved down the chutes, a figure, six runners ahead of me in the chute, turned and called my nama "Jimbo!" It was Bill Dolan---as wet and bedraggled as I was...and still wearing those silly tube socks on his hands. We both burst into laughter and we were still laughing as we got wrapped in our mylar blankets and--stiff legged---began the oddly long walk r>ast the Sheep's meadow towards the waiting buses and our dry clothes... Jim £kofle/d 13 �I firs+ joined Front Runners because of the rumors of ho+ locker room action. I soon found, +hough, that I had made some great friends and that the locker room action was really just for showering. But seriously folks, Front Runners is like church to me---1 value the community of friends, the focus on health and the support of a great group of people....especially Phil Wahba (he told me to write that). MtiH Tivy In 1986, I fell down a flight of subway stairs, tore up my right knee and following two surgeries, started a course of physical therapy which eventually led to my taking up swimming, cycling, power walking and strength training---things I never did before! When I felt strong enough, I further challenged myself in a variety of charity events: bike rides to fight MS and lung cancer, walk-a-thons, and swim-a-thons to supporl local AID~ organizations, etc. Then, one day, I saw an ad for a local duathlonC2 mile run, 10 mile bike ride and another 2 mile run). Figuring that my walking (and other workouts) was sufficient training for this (Boy! Was I ever wrong!), I entered a race-and carne in 3rd place! (OK, so there were only three women in the race---but doesn't "showing up" count for something?!) Shortly after that, I contaced Front Runners, an organization I had heard about, but never joined 'cuz I never thought of myself as a "runner". Thanks to Front Runners' coached classes, I learned "proper" running technique and entered many races in Central Park I ran SK's, 4 and 5 rnilers, IOK's ar.d a 10 miler (alongside Fred Lebow, who was then training for the NYC MarathonD. Eventually I discovered Jeff Galloway's marathon training program, and using his run - walk system, I ran the Marine Corps 14 �(shaving 20 minutes from my finish timeD, followed by the NYC Marathon, ~+eamfown Marathon in Scranion, PA (my "PR") and finally, the Richmond Marathon! And now that I have five proud "notches on my belt", I've decided to run across the country, 13.1 miles at a time. And through it all, I maintained my ties to Front Runners. "Giving badt is the reason why many of us take on leadershiJ:l positions in the dub. I felt it was my ivrn to give back in 1995, and so I ran for, and was elected, Women's VicePresident. During my vice-J>residency, I J:lroduced several events to benef'rt the Front Runner's Foundation and did my best to encourage increased women's J>arfici~on through a variety of outreach activities. For my years of volunteer service, I was humbled to receive the first "President's Award" frorn FRNY President Patrick Barker in 1997.
