Subject: From the Miami Herald - Leonard Pitts

Published Wednesday, September 12, 2001

We'll go forward from this moment
It's my job to have something to say.
They pay me to provide words that help make sense of that which troubles the
American soul. But in this moment of airless shock when hot tears sting
disbelieving eyes, the only thing I can find to say, the only words that seem to
fit, must be addressed to the unknown author of this suffering.

You monster. You beast. You unspeakable bastard.

What lesson did you hope to teach us by your coward's attack on our World Trade
Center, our Pentagon, us? What was it you hoped we would learn? Whatever it was,
please know that you failed.

Did you want us to respect your cause? You just damned your cause.

Did you want to make us fear? You just steeled our resolve.

Did you want to tear us apart? You just brought us together.

Let me tell you about my people. We are a vast and quarrelsome family, a family
rent by racial, social, political and class division, but a family nonetheless.
We're frivolous, yes, capable of expending tremendous emotional energy on pop
cultural minutiae -- a singer's
revealing dress, a ball team's misfortune, a cartoon mouse. We're wealthy, too,
spoiled by the ready availability of trinkets and material goods, and maybe
because of that, we walk through life with a certain
sense of blithe entitlement. We are fundamentally decent, though -- peace-loving
and compassionate. We struggle to know the right thing and to do it. And we are,
the overwhelming majority of us, people of faith,
believers in a just and loving God.

Some people -- you, perhaps -- think that any or all of this makes us weak.
You're mistaken. We are not weak. Indeed, we are strong in ways that cannot be
measured by arsenals.


IN PAIN

Yes, we're in pain now. We are in mourning and we are in shock. We're still
grappling with the unreality of the awful thing you did, still working to make
ourselves understand that this isn't a special effect from some Hollywood
blockbuster, isn't the plot development from a Tom Clancy novel. Both in terms
of the awful scope of their ambition and the probable final death toll, your
attacks are likely to go down as the worst acts of terrorism in the history of
the United States and,
probably, the history of the world. You've bloodied us as we have never been
bloodied before.

But there's a gulf of difference between making us bloody and making us fall.
This is the lesson Japan was taught to its bitter sorrow the last time anyone
hit us this hard, the last time anyone brought us such abrupt and monumental
pain. When roused, we are righteous in our outrage, terrible in our force. When
provoked by this level of barbarism, we will bear any suffering, pay any cost,
go to any length, in the pursuit of justice.

I tell you this without fear of contradiction. I know my people, as you, I
think, do not. What I know reassures me. It also causes me to tremble with dread
of the future.

In the days to come, there will be recrimination and accusation, fingers
pointing to determine whose failure allowed this to happen and what can be done
to prevent it from happening again. There will be heightened
security, misguided talk of revoking basic freedoms. We'll go forward from this
moment sobered, chastened, sad. But determined, too. Unimaginably determined.

THE STEEL IN US

You see, the steel in us is not always readily apparent. That aspect of our
character is seldom understood by people who don't know us well. On this day,
the family's bickering is put on hold.

As Americans we will weep, as Americans we will mourn, and as Americans, we will
rise in defense of all that we cherish.

So I ask again: What was it you hoped to teach us? It occurs to me that maybe
you just wanted us to know the depths of your hatred. If that's the case,
consider the message received. And take this message in exchange: You don't know
my people. You don't know what we're capable
of. You don't know what you just started.

But you're about to learn.

Hello Club:

Very late notice but......


Anyone interested in a nice, easy 4 miler on Sunday should meet at 256
Elm.St.(Christine & Giles' house), N.Reading at 8:00 AM.


-Frank

Anyone planning on running the Cape Ann 25K Monday should meet at Row's at
7:15 AM.  The shuttle will leave for Gloucester at 7:30 sharp.  Currently
the IRRR runners include Frank, Mark M, Mark L, Sheri, Joyce, Melissa, John
B., and it sounds like Joe as well.

It is a beautiful course through Gloucester, Magnolia, and Rockport, and
race day signup is allowed.

Look foreword to seeing everyone and maybe a few more on Monday

John B.

Hi gang,

Who else is running the race and are we carpooling?  I'd be happy to drive,
let me know.

Also is anyone running tomorrow (saturday) morning, I'd like to go out for 5
or 6 at 7:00 am.

Joe

Club members:

A reminder that the new way to send a message to the running club is to
send your message to IRRR@YahooGroups.com.  If you wish to unsubscribe
from this distribution list, there are instructions on how to do so at the
bottom of this email.   Doing so, however, carries certain risks - you may
discover a smelly singlet on your doorstep one Sunday morning.  Thanks to
new member John Intorcio for helping to set up this new system.


-Frank

Hello Club:

Do anyone have an interest in volunteering at the Oct. 21 Baystate
Marathon?  I thought if we had enough volunteers, our club could sponsor a
water stop.  Let me know if you are interested.

-Frank

If you've read any of Jeff Galloway's books (see: http://www.jeffgalloway.com), then you're familiar with the concept of extending endurance through walk breaks while running. Jeff advocates using walk breaks even in races - but it's hard to convince yourself that walking is really the fastest way to finish.  If you've ever wanted to calculate the impact of walk breaks on your time to finish a given race, you know the math isn't trivial. Well, I've posted a spreadsheet I've built that can help. It's useful in planning a strategy to finish or improve your time in a race by using walk breaks. If you're interested, you can retrieve it from: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/IRRR/files/

Some tips for using it:

1. Enter times in h:m:s format. To enter 8 minutes, type "0:8".

2. If you plan to stop taking walk breaks later in your run, you can put anything in the "Stop Taking Breaks" box for the appropriate mile. No further breaks will be accounted for.

3. You can play with the "Fatigue Factor" to estimate the effects of NOT taking breaks on your average pace. The calculations assume your running pace remains steady when you DO take walk breaks.

Comments or suggestions for improvements welcome! I'd love to hear from others who are using walk breaks - particularly in competitive situations!

Greetings Runners:

A reminder that our annual IRRR party will take place this Saturday,
August 25th at noon at the home of Joyce and Dick Ryan (10 Turner Drive,
N.Reading, 978-664-1469,  jdryan@...).  Please bring your own
favorite beverage (Joyce will provide water and Powerade) and swimwear (I
don't think Joyce will provide this).  We hope you can make it!
