Green Bay has Races, Not just the Packers My name is Sarah Neal, a Checkers member and long- time Green Bay resident. I would like to introduce you to a couple unique running events our Com- munity offers this year. They are the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon (cellcomgreenbaymarathon.com) on May 21st and Bellin Run (bellinrun.com) on June 10th. The Green Bay marathon was ranked one of the top ten most enjoy- able marathons this year by Runner’s World. Some of the attractions in- clude a jaunt through Lambeau Field the, last mile, and a beer and brats tailgate party at the finish line. This year they will have a timing chip mat at every mile along the course. The Bellin Run, ranked the 6th largest 10 K in the country, is celebrat- ing its 30th anniversary this year. In addition to great community support, it features a host of running legends and elite runners. These runners are available to interact with at the spaghetti dinner the night before the race and after the race. Last year I had the opportunity to congratulate Vanderlei Finish photo from Lima on his heroic finish in the 2004 Olympic marathon. last year's Green Bay I plan on participating in both events and would welcome any Checkers Half Marathon at Lambeau Field. members to join me.

GETTING TO KNOW YOU, by Paul Wandel Checkers Interview with Jennifer Hulme BIO: Age Group: 35- 39 Checkers member: 3 years Running: 15 years Residence: Buffalo, NY Professional: Registered Dietitian (MRD) United Health and Wellness Personal Nutritional Coach and Public Relation Co Chair for WNY Dietetic Assoc. Personal: Single Interests: Starbucks Patron (reading &drinking great coffee) Cross Training: Pilates and Yoga and Weight training Quality time with friends and family Pace Group: 24 The words continue to ring loud and clear. “Impossible is Nothing.” This was the motto and inspiration for the 2005 Boston Marathon. According to local runner and registered dietician, Jennifer Hulme… “It says it all, because you can break past the limits and barriers!” She practices what she preaches. Helping people is just natural to Jennifer. As a corporate wellness representative, her responsibility is to educate people on how to implement a good diet and empower them to live a healthier lifestyle. “I want to empower individuals to make healthy lifestyle choices.” Coupled with her dietician knowledge, is a conta- gious sense of encouragement and inspiration. “Today is a new day, a new beginning. You can transform your life into whatever you want it to be.” Jennifer is relatively new to the field of wellness and nutrition. “I graduated from D’youville College with a Masters Degree as a Registered Dietician. My first position was with the Erie County Home in Alden, working with long-term care patients. The clinical aspect of that work helped prepare me for my cur- rent job as a corporate wellness and nutritional consultant.” Her duties include development of training programs, teaching and consulting with corporate groups and individuals. As a side business, she works as a nutritional coach, helping local athletes. “I work with athletes to achieve nutritional goals. That will enable them to optimize performance. I help them to reach higher levels.” Jennifer is a veteran runner and marathoner. She has completed 12 marathons and numerous local events. “I was inspired by my cousins, Mark and Paul Hulme. Mark was a 4-minute miler, and Paul was the overall Buffalo ROY in 1995.” She had an active fitness program established, but started running when a friend had encouraged her to enter the Shamrock 8K. “I was helped by the support of my family and friends in the running community.” Eventually, she connected with Checkers, becoming a member 3 years ago. It seems to have been the right move for her. “I have so many new friendships. We are extended family. The coaches are so en- couraging and supportive. The drills and stretching have helped me. Coach Tom has helped me to im- prove my form. Coach Bob has helped me with my long training runs. Overall, I’m a stronger, faster and more competent runner.” Improvement has been the payoff for her. She has a current 5K PR of 20:21 and a marathon PR of 3:29:48. The 2003 Chicago Marathon was one to remember. “The day was perfect, 56 degrees and no wind. The streets were clogged with 40,000 runners, so I was forced to hold back. Then at mile 13, things opened up. I had always dreamed of a Boston Qualifier.” That is precisely what she did. She endured the torment of 87-degree heat at the 2004 Boston Marathon, but managed an impressive 3:38 time. She returned a year later and produced a 3:35. “The 2005 Boston Marathon was very special to me. I dedicated a mile to everyone who was or is, influential in my life and helped me to be there. People such as coaches, friends and family.” Jen has also competed in the San Diego, NYC, Buffalo and Niagara Marathons, in addition to Boston and Chicago. Complementing the marathon ability has been her overall success as a road runner. Jennifer was awarded the Buffalo News ROY Competition second place in her age group in 2003. “I wasn’t too aware of the com- petition in 2003. In 2004, I had a goal to earn it!” Her hard work and determination paid off, producing a first place award in the 2004 ROY Competition. Something new was discovered in the Fall of 2004. “I started running Checkers cross country races Hulme, con’t. with the team. The trails and the terrain were a wonderful diversification from the road. It was something new, and it made me a stronger runner. There is beauty in diversification.” Challenging people to go to higher levels is Jennifer’s mission. So don’t allow those barriers and restric- tions to stay in the way. As Jenn has said, “You can break past them!” She has been personally chal- lenged, to honor the Hulme running reputation of excellence. “They are very proud and happy for me.” Her family inspires her along the way with… “You are carrying on the Hulme tradition. You go Girl!” She is happy to say, “I’m proud to be a Hulme!” 2006 Board of Directors Election Results. Congratulations are in order for our new Checkers board members. Tom Donnelly and Julie Donnelly both won elections for another term. New to the board are Anne Reif, Re- becca Heuer and John Lintner.

  • Post Collegiate Success
    POST COLLEGIATE SUCCESS Here at CU we are no more proud of the successes of present Buffs than we are of those who went on to the next level. Frankly, we don’t believe there is another college program in the country that can boast as many national level professionals. During the tenure of Coach Wetmore, numerous graduates of the Buff distance program have gone on to professional contracts. Seven are currently active. Ten have been Olympians and two have won Olympic Bronze Medals. Twenty-eight have made World Championship Track or Cross Country teams. Eighteen made World teams while still running for CU.

Pete Domenici’s suggestion that he tour Sandia, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said during a visit to the Labs last Friday that “it turned out to be good advice.” Chertoff spent a half day at the Labs to learn about Sandia’s capabilities, and received brief- ings on several specific Sandia-developed home- land security technologies and programs. The briefings came from new Labs President and Director Tom Hunter, other members of senior management, and several subject matter experts. Following the briefings, Chertoff, joined by Domenici, Rep. Heather Wilson, and Tom, con- ducted a half-hour news conference in the Bldg. 810 lobby to talk about the relationship between Sandia and the Department of Homeland Secu- rity. Representatives from most of the Albu- querque news media attended. Chertoff said he was impressed with what he had learned at Sandia and expressed a hope to spend more time at the Labs in the future. “There is a tremendous contribution [to homeland security] to be made here,” he said.

I don’t mean looking forward for a few weeks or a few months. I’m talking about years. For me those sorts of experiences almost always end in disappointment. They can never live up to what I’ve built them up to be in my imagi- nation. The New York City Mara- thon shattered that pattern, far exceeding my expectations. Why New York? I was a dedicated half-marathoner until I learned about the route of the NYC Marathon. Having been to the city only once before on a quick weekend trip, I knew little about it, but I was fascinated by the chance to tour all five bor- oughs on foot. What better way to see it! I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to meet New York and New Yorkers at ground lev- el. That’s what hooked me and kept me applying year after year. My mantra of “The half, always the half” changed to “Only New York and only once.” NYC <continued on Page 2> Heading up the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge at the start of the NYC Marathon.
