We will be kicking off this season with a run on Saturday May 13th.
The meeting spot will be at the St Louis Bread Company parking lot.
Starting time is 10:00 AM.  The route will consist of two laps of 5
miles.  The route will be posted today or tomorrow, when completed by
Dan Trapp. All runners welcome, invite anyone.  See ya on Saturday.

Here's the law day run results...nice job Toby, especially after a
rough weekend last weekend.

Why wouldn't a run for the stars be held at night?

Is anyone else going to register for the St Patrick's Day Run?  The run
is 5 miles and it is at 9:30am on March 11th (links are below).

<http://www.irishparade.org/run/>
<http://www.active.com/event_detail.cfm?event_id=1267144>

It costs $15 until March 3RD (by mail) or until March 5th (online).
Race-day registration is $20. I was told that active.com is charging a
$3 service fee, so I may mail mine in...

Art Experience Outback Steakhouse Volunteer Appreciation KMOX Radio FOX 2 St. Louis Post-Dispatch Spice Up Your Long Run With These Five Tips 1. Friend to Friend Relay! You might not be able to convince one friend to run the whole distance with you if they aren't ready, but you can station friends at different points to each run a leg with you. Another idea is to do a loop course where you run each loop with a different friend. Running with a buddy can make the miles pass quickly and break up the monotony of a long run. 2. Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth Taking energy drinks and gels during a long run is important to replace electrolytes and prevent glycogen depletion. However, your body will take any kind of sugar it can get. Try sucking on a piece of your favorite hard candy during the run for a little boost. Be careful running with something in your mouth! 3. Carry Some Cash Most running shorts have a key pocket for a key of course. Slip a $20 bill in there as well - you never know when you might need a snack...or a taxi! Better to be safe than sorry. 4. Fun with Computers Go to usatf.org/routes/ and check out "America's Running Routes." The searchable database allows runners to map and measure their favorite course. You can even save your run so others can enjoy the pain and misery that you went through...just kidding! 5. The ABC Game Play "I'm going to the marathon and I'm going to bring..." Start with the letter A and make it all the way to Z - it will take your mind off the miles for awhile. Support A Good Cause - The BackStoppers You may have noticed that you can make a donation to The BackStoppers when you register for a Spirit of St. Louis Marathon Weekend event. Since 1959, this organization has served the families of police officers and firefighters in the greater metro St. Louis area who have perished in the line of duty. They have one purpose: to ease the suffering, and provide the much needed financial assistance to spouses and their dependent children. Areas served by The BackStoppers are the City of St. Louis, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, Franklin County, Jefferson County, Lincoln County, St. Francis County, Warren County, Madison County, St. Clair County and Monroe County. Visit www.stlouismarathon.com and look up "Battle of the Badges" for details.

I've been talking about this River to River run in southern Illinois
for a while and tomorrow they start taking applications. It sounds
like not all applicants make it, so we might be out of luck anyway.
The basic info is that it's an 8 person + 2 alternates relay where you
run 3 legs each consisting of roughly 3.3 miles each leg. So total
distance for each of the 8 would be 10 miles.

The cost is $360 per team, and we'll need to either have 1 or 2 vans
to transport the team. Plus it's in southern Illinois near Carbondale,
so that'll probably entail 2 nights of hotels.

I think it'd be a great time and from last years results you can enter
your team in a "special" category to compete against other teams.
Those divisions are like family, old friends, military, and Culinary.
There was only 1 culinary team from last year...and since some of us
brew beer, I was thinking we could be a brewers group.

And at some point we'll brew some beer and crack it open at the finish
line.

Let me know if you're interested in doing this, or if you know of
anyone that would be interested in running or being an alternate, let
me know.

We're also looking for any type of sponsorship we can get. If anyone
knows of a home brew shop in Belleville that's runner friendly...let
me know...lol

Doug

It's April 22nd. I went ahead and applied...it looks
like some teams don't make it...so we'll see.

Subject: [BellevilleRunningClub] River to River

I've been talking about this River to River run in southern Illinois
for a while and tomorrow they start taking applications. It sounds
like not all applicants make it, so we might be out of luck anyway.
The basic info is that it's an 8 person + 2 alternates relay where you
run 3 legs each consisting of roughly 3.3 miles each leg. So total
distance for each of the 8 would be 10 miles.

The cost is $360 per team, and we'll need to either have 1 or 2 vans
to transport the team. Plus it's in southern Illinois near Carbondale,
so that'll probably entail 2 nights of hotels.

I think it'd be a great time and from last years results you can enter
your team in a "special" category to compete against other teams.
Those divisions are like family, old friends, military, and Culinary.
There was only 1 culinary team from last year...and since some of us
brew beer, I was thinking we could be a brewers group.

And at some point we'll brew some beer and crack it open at the finish
line.

Let me know if you're interested in doing this, or if you know of
anyone that would be interested in running or being an alternate, let
me know.

We're also looking for any type of sponsorship we can get. If anyone
knows of a home brew shop in Belleville that's runner friendly...let
me know...lol

This STLtoday.com article -- "Is running a marathon healthful? "--  has
been sent to you by: "danieltrapp@..."

Interesting story... But I think it's written by someone trying to justify
their own unhealthy lifestyle.  I don't see how the cardiovascular benefits
of a buttload of running can be outweighed by risk of minor injury.

Is running a marathon healthful?
By Michele Munz
Of the Post-Dispatch


Below is the link to the story.
http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf/stlouiscitycounty/story/FD88CA\
AEA81CFDA186257058001A8E2E?OpenDocument

Here is the story.

Susan Darcy had a good friend who had just turned 50 and did one. And then
all her friends in her running and walking group did it, too.

She and her husband, Mike, were running only about 10 miles a week, but
they figured if others could do one, they could do it too.

So this spring, they joined the increasing number of people running
marathons as they finished the Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon.

"I think it was just to prove to myself that I could do it," said Darcy,
51, of Webster Groves.

The grueling 26.2-mile race used to be for the fittest of the fit, the
seasoned athletes with mega miles of running under their belts.

But now, people of all sizes, ages and skills are taking on the challenge.

"Everybody and their grandma wants to run a marathon," said Ryan Llamppa
with Running USA, a professional association devoted to improving the
status of road racing and long-distance running.

Statistics compiled by the association show that 25,000 people ran a
marathon in 1976. Last year, nearly 425,000 went the distance. And the four
biggest marathons this fall - including the Chicago Marathon - are already
sold out.

The phenomenon includes a surge of women. Twenty-five years ago, only 10
percent of marathon finishers were women. Now 40 percent cross the line.

Many take on the challenge of running a marathon for health benefits. But
some doctors are concerned that some runners - especially novices and those
older than 40 - are unprepared for the toll a marathon takes on the body.

Money-raising marathoners

Talk show host Oprah Winfrey was one of the first to make marathoning an
attraction for women. She completed a marathon in 1994 when she turned 40
after years of battling her weight. No woman could say she was too busy or
too big or too old any more.

Numbers continue to grow as marathon-training programs that raise money for
charities have become wildly popular. The largest is Team in Training,
which will train almost 30,000 people to run or walk a marathon this year
and raise nearly $85 million for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

The training programs are geared with beginners in mind. They offer a
step-by-step training program, a coach and informational clinics. Their
mantra is that anyone can be prepared to run or walk a marathon in four to
five months, and they promise a fun and rewarding experience. About 65
percent of Team in Training participants are women, and nearly 85 percent
have never run a marathon. Many have run hardly at all.

Women are drawn to the social aspect of the training programs and the
contribution to a worthy cause, organizers say.

Barb Cox, 32, of St. Peters, said she signed up for Team in Training in
part because she couldn't get motivated to go to the gym. Mainly, she said,
she wanted to help others.

"I was at a point in my life where I felt I needed to give back," she said.
"I thought this was a great way to do it."

Diverse, smiling and triumphant people are portrayed at the Team in
Training Web site, pamphlets and informational video.

Participants must raise $3,000 to $4,000 and get their airfare and
accommodations paid for to run marathons in vacation destinations like
Phoenix, Dublin, Hawaii and Walt Disney World. There's a pre- and
post-party. And the marathons themselves are like big parties with cheering
crowds and music along the route.

"It's a blast," campaign coordinator Jeff Shaw told a roomful of 16 people
at a recent Team in Training recruitment meeting in St. Louis. "It's all
just a lot of fun."

Injuries caused by overuse

Doctors, however, stress that it's a serious endeavor that carries a high
risk of overuse injury.

Dr. Scott Van Nest said he advises some - because of their body mechanics
and alignment - to forego training for a marathon. He is a physical
therapist at the Sports Medicine and Training Center in Webster Groves and
has worked with runners about 18 years.

Everyone, he said, should be evaluated by a doctor to forecast possible
problems and devise a plan to help better tolerate the stress.
"Each particular person is going to have a weak area," Van Nest said. He
develops specific strength and flexibility programs, a proper timeline for
progressing mileage and might recommend orthotics.

Marathon-training programs are good for camaraderie and motivation, but he
warns: "You are getting a generic approach to prepare for a race. That may
work for some people but not for others."

Doctors say any nagging pain is a sign a runner might be overdoing it. Rest
or medical attention might be required, or both. Trying to run through the
pain will result in a more serious injury that takes longer to heal. Pain
also can throw off your natural gait and lead to other problems.

Susan Darcy started experiencing plantar fasciitis while training for the
Flying Pig Marathon. She had been running only a couple of years and
developed her training program by gathering information from the Internet
and talking with other runners.

Van Nest helped get her to the finish line without pain - mainly by taping
her foot - and she now is using a strength and flexibility program he
developed to improve her running mechanics. She hopes to run the Chicago
Marathon next year.

Dr. Mike Cannon, a family physician with qualification in sports medicine
at SLU Care Des Peres, said he sees many patients suffering ailments from
marathon training. And he offers a warning for those considering the
challenge.

"I tell patients all the time who have this in their plan, that training
for and running a marathon is not a healthy thing," Cannon said. "It does
put them at risk for injury."

Health benefits come from regular exercise that can be maintained through a
lifetime, he said. Someone training for a marathon has a 40 percent to 60
percent chance of getting a musculo-skeletal injury like a stress fracture,
knee pain or foot pain.

The Institute of Medicine recommends for adults an hour of cumulative
exercise a day at moderate intensity - such as a brisk walk, climbing
stairs, house cleaning - "to maintain cardiovascular health at a maximal
level." For high-intensity exercise, such as jogging, only 20 to 30 minutes
a day will do.

Mark Reinking, who teaches physical therapy at St. Louis University, agrees
that longer is not necessarily better.

"What's curious to me is that there seems to be a phenomenon occurring
where folks jump into running as a fitness experience and almost
immediately set their sights on a marathon," said Reinking, who teaches
physical therapy at St. Louis University.

Not many want to start with a 5-kilometer or 10-kilometer run, or even a
half-marathon, he said. Or even try their hand at getting faster at those
events.

"It was a great accomplishment"

Shannon Bengston, 23, ran the San Diego Rock 'n' Roll Marathon in June and
came away with a stress fracture in her foot. Bengston was just running a
few miles a couple of times of week before she started training in January.
Her first race was a half-marathon in April, which she called a "nice jog."

"It was almost easy," Bengston said of the 13.1 miles. "It got me very
excited to run the full (marathon) because it was a lot of fun."

Among a group of friends who trained with Bengston was Amber Woods, 23, of
St. Louis. She got stress fractures in both feet after completing the
marathon in 5 hours and 17 minutes. She had never exercised before she
started running in January, she said.

While training, Bengston said, she also experienced flulike symptoms after
her long weekend runs.

Weakened immune systems and chronic fatigue are other risks of running long
distances, Reinking warned.

But despite their injuries, Bengston and Woods are glad they did it.
Bengston raised more than $4,500 through Team in Training. "It was a great
accomplishment," Bengston said. "I've never done anything like that where
you're pushing your body to its limit."

Darcy said, "It was wonderful to know that we did it. It was a goal I had
set for myself in my life that I was able to achieve."

Nearly everyone who has run the marathon describes an incredible feeling of
pride and elation that far outweighs any pain. For some, it's been a
life-changing event that forever improved their health habits or
self-confidence, bringing them to tears as they cross the line.

For others like Woods - who hobbled to the finish line and couldn't run for
six weeks - it's the cachet.

"It's so cool to say I've done a marathon," she said.
