Why was running a vegan 5K so important to me? There were a few reasons. First, every- thing in the goodie bag was vegan. I didn’t have to share with my wife, Tammy. :) Second, there was a complete vegan meal afterwards. I feel races are getting better, but for the most part, there are not a lot of vegan options after a race. I do pack a couple of things, just in case, if the race doesn’t have anything besides fruit.

As with most new or difficult experiences in whelming, I realize I also have a responsibility to life, doing them with others is so much better. While learn how to overcome these prescribed notions, I had tried running on a treadmill multiple times, prioritize my own goals, and claim my ground. and even attempted to follow a couch-to-5k pro- gram on my own, it never worked. I hated running next to others at the gym who were much faster than myself, I would push further and faster and end up injured. If I tried running on my own outside, I loved the fresh air but never felt safe on my own.

After hearing about Second Wind from a neigh- bor, I decided to do some research and found out that the women’s beginning group was starting three days later. So I signed up.

Asbury Park was a lovely beach town and it was very cool to run through the iconic stomping grounds of ‘The Boss’. This race is a must for any Bruce Springsteen fans.

Elizabeth Chominski finished the New Jersey Marathon April 27 2019 in 4:37:24. Nick Paulson finished the New Jersey 5K on April 26 2019 in 20:04. Running these events on the Atlantic Ocean seemed like the best contrast to the cornfields of Illinois.

We would like to thank everyone who volunteered at Second Wind Running Club’s booth during the Illinois Marathon Health and Fitness Expo. The number of compliments we received about how great the booth looked is truly a reflection of the

small contributions that each person made and the warm personalities that the volun- teers shared. I also am grateful for the sac- rifice that our volunteers made to staff the booth for a couple of hours or so at a time. Once again, with your help, the club was able to interact with a variety of runners including engaging both current and pro- spective members. Whether you have had the opportunity to sign up to volunteer at the expo, we encourage you to sign up to volunteer for other forthcoming events.

Newsletter of the Second Wind Running Club 4444 https://SecondWindRunningClub.org Second Wind’s Race Circuit Scoring Rules

To be eligible to participate, members must join/renew membership by April 30 and include their birth date on membership form. All eligible members will be automatically entered into the circuit standings. To qualify for a circuit award, runners must finish in the top three of their age group AND have completed at least four circuit races during the year (the four-race rule was instituted in 2015). Awardees will be recognized at the annual awards banquet in January.

Scoring is done within age groups (M/F): 19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+. Your age group (AG) is determined by your age on January 1, and you stay in the same AG all year. Special scoring for Illinois Full Marathon: Illinois Marathon finishers (26.2 mi) will receive 5 bonus points (note this bonus does not apply to the Monumental Full, only the Illinois Full)

Scoring The winner of each AG automatically earns at least 2 points Everyone who participates in a circuit race gets at least 1 point If 10 or more eligible Second Wind participants are in an AG in a race, points are awarded as follows:

+ 1st = 10 pts + 2nd = 9 pts + 3rd = 8 pts ...and etcetera...

If fewer than 10 SW participants in an AG, then 1st place gets points = # of participants, and down from there. So, if 6 participants:

+ 1st = 6 pts + 2nd = 5 pts + 3rd = 4 pts ...and etcetera...
