Tidying up your body

Have you heard about the popular method for tidying up your home? (Check out the show on Netflix…Tidying Up with Marie Kondo) Organization specialist and author Marie Kondo has developed a system of getting your house in order. In short, you go through your possessions and keep the things you like and get rid of the stuff you don’t. In the end, not only are you more organized, but your life has changed! Did you know that there are mechanisms that do this “tidying up” thing inside of your body? It’s true. There is a process called “Autophagy” (Auto meaning self and Phagy meaning to eat). The 2016 Nobel Prize in Medicine went to Dr. Ohsumi on the subject of Autophagy. They are learning more and more on how this process works on “tidying up” your body. In your home, when things are messy, broken, piled up, disorganized, etc…it can be hard to find what you want, or hard to be really comfortable or happy. In your body’s cells there are many important structures that can get broken and damaged and not work right. These can ‘clog up the works’ similar to your home. It can cause a body to operate less efficiently. This can lead to a great many symptoms and complaints. Autophagy is the body’s process of recycling those broken structures and using their components for energy and to make other cell parts that are needed. This gets rid of old and broken down structures and makes new and well-functioning cell organelles. The benefits of healthy autophagy action are a slowing of the aging process, prevention of neuro-degeneration (memory loss, dementia, etc...), decreased inflammation and improved skin health just t to name a few! As bodies get older the amount of autophagy slows down. here are ways to increase it, however, for the young and the old. You can increase it by the following actions: 1. High Fat, Low Carb diet—Whole30 and Ketogenic diets fall under this category 2. Intermittent Fasting—we all fast, some more than others. A simple fast would be to eat dinner at 7pm and then don’t eat again until break-fast at 7am. This is a 12 hour intermittent fast. I suggest you look up intermittent fasting for more info. 3. High Intensity Interval Training—otherwise known as HIIT, is intense exercise for short periods of time and then rest, alternating back and forth. For example, riding with high intensity on a stationary bike for 1 minute and then take a 1 minute break, then high intensity for another minute and then another minute rest…repeat up to 8 cycles. This has been found to stimulate autophagy, anti-inflammation, brain derived growth factor (BDNF) and growth hormone. 4. Protein Fasting—simply put this is eating very low amounts of protein for a day or two. Now the body needs to find some proteins for its normal function. This stimulates autophagy to recycle old and broken proteins to form new proteins. 5. Get great sleep—Very important and often overlooked. It seems that Marie Kondo’s Tidying Up is very popular right now. It is easy to draw parallels between cleaning up your home and cleaning up your body. By the way, Marie Kondo believes (and so do I) that tidying up your home will also improve your health.

If you are interested in improving your performance, your memory and your health then you should really check out this topic of autophagy and do things to improve it in your body.

Wishing you the best of health,

Tom Frost Mission Viejo Chapter

Where are you from originally and when did you move to So Cal? Born May 21, 1953 in Bay Shore, New York. Family moved to Lancaster, Calif. In 1960. I have lived in Orange County since 1985.

What got you started on running, when, where, etc.? At 26 years old, I began running for fitness. The running boom of the late 70's was just starting. Better shoes. Specialty stores. I got hooked. Ran my first race, a 10k, in May 1981. First ½ marathon at AFC in San Diego was Aug '81. The inaugural Long Beach Marathon was announced. I figured it would be a great place to try 26.2. That was Feb. 1982. 2019 will mark my 40th year of running almost everyday and still going. Whew! I'm hooked.

What has been your favorite race and why? Easy. Long Beach Marathon. I am a 34 year Original Legacy Runner. One of 15. First 30 years the full. Last four years the ½.

What is the coolest place you have gone for a run? Coolest place I have run is Universal Studios Backlot run. Run through movie sets, past Jaws and finish going thorough Back to the Future square. Most memorable. Two. Boston Marathon 1999 with my daughter and Boston University student Lisa cheering me on. 2002 Boston Marathon. I ran in memory of Lisa. A passenger on U.A. Flt. #175 9-11-01. Lisa volunteered at the 2001 Boston Marathon. Did TV interviews before race in Hopkinton, during the race at mile 19 and after finishing.

What are you training for now and how is it going? I'm currently training for a 5k in Cambridge, Mass. In March, a ½ marathon in Madrid, Spain April and, of course, year 35 at Long Beach ½ Marathon in Oct.

Do you have any races that interest you? Thankfully I got into running at a young age. I have done most, if not all, of my bucket list. Boston, NYC. New adventures in racing seem to find me. I just let them.

What are your current running goals? My goals are to run as long as I am able to. Stay injury free. Run with the attitude. There is No Finish Line!

What is your best running tip? Use sunblock. Stretch a lot. Keep strong abdominals. Keep a runners log. Do stairs.

Why do you run? To stay fit, healthy, and able to enjoy retirement.

Any other hobbies or interests? Weight training, pilates, golf, and travel.

What do you like most about being a member of A Snail's Pace Running Club? I joined A Snail's Pace Running Club while training for the 1999 Boston Marathon. Needed help to get me ready. I found great runners who became great friends. One of those friendships resulted in me being 2016 Snail's Club Overall Winner. A true act of sportsmanship indicative of A Snail's Pace Running Club. Parties, socials, and post run Sunday morning breakfast chats. It's my people. My tribe. Club Financials

The Snail’s Cup Series was established in 2003 to create friendly competition amongst Club members from all four Chapters. Partially based on South Coast Roadrunners Grand Prix Series created by Mike Friedl, the Snail’s Cup Series uses our monthly Club races where points are calculated based on your age and gender graded performance compared to the American Road Race age group records. Additional points are awarded for wearing the Club uniform and traveling outside of your Chapter “area” for Club races.

The purpose of this competition is to: 1. expand the membership participation at Club races 2. increase Club visibility within the running community at local races 3. create inter-Chapter competition and camaraderie 4. establish an award activity for all members at the All-Chapter Gala 5. have fun How it works: Club members receive points by participating in the 12+ Club races. At the end of the year, your top 9 races are tallied and the top 20 members are recognized at the All Chapter Gala. The winner receives a free pair of New Balance running shoes and their name engraved on the perpetual Snails Cup Trophy which is displayed at their Chapter Snail's Pace Store for the rest of the year. 2nd through 20th places receive certificates and lesser prizes. At each Club race there is a results clipboard at the Club canopy for you to record your finish time. Unregistered "bandits" are ineligible from participating. Members receive an additional 100 points for wearing their Club uniform. Bonus “travel points” are calculated into your score for traveling more than twenty miles to the race (using your ASP Chapter Store as your starting point). 0 - 20 miles = 0 points 21 - 40 miles = 50 points 41 - 60 miles = 100 points 61 - 80 miles = 150 points 81 - 100 miles = 200 points PLEASE REMEMBER TO WRITE YOUR FINISH TIME ON THE CLIPBOARD AT THE CLUB CANOPY.

A Quick Note From Jenny I've heard a lot of talk about wildlife lately. I don't know if it's actually true, but I've heard that every year, more people are killed by vending machines than bears. So you know what that means: if you see a vending machine out there in the wilderness, back away slowly!

I read an interesting article recently stating that the number of people killed by animals every year remains unchanging but quite low, and when it happens, it is almost never the animals most people worry about. It's farm animals, insects, and dogs that get us, not Lions and Tigers and Bears (oh my!)

I find it rather fascinating that in our constantly changing world, the one thing that hasn't really changed over the last decade is the number of people killed every year by animals. Yet, the number of runners out there (presumably putting themselves at risk for animal attack) HAS increased. Ultra running alone has seen an increase of 500% in the last 15 years, with a 1,000% increase in the number of ultra events per year. And that's just ultra running, a niche within trail running. But really, In the grand scheme of things, the number of deaths due to animals is still quite low, and most incidents are on farms. In our country, the number one killer of humans is heart attack, something that's usually preceded by poor health and inactivity. Last year there were 610,000 fatalities in America alone due to heart attack (and that number IS going up), while only 1,610 due to animals. I think I'm going to chose to be active and hopefully avoid the heart attack! I always figure the most dangerous part of my runs are the drive to the trailhead. But watch out for those vending machines, too. Happy Running, Jenny Welch
