I humbly moved into the Legend category of the USRSA. Unlike many of the Runners in the USRSA, I do not have an impressive running background or portfolio. 3 I was never part of a Track or Cross Country team, never won a race, never posted a great time. I just ran….for 40 years. When I was asked to send an article to the USRSA, I was going to keep it very short. “40 years completed…still running”…… But, as I thought about it, that would not be fair. It would not be fair to all the people that my running streak touched over 4 decades. While I ran mostly by myself – I was never alone. I have a great wife and 4 children (now adults) who were always supportive. In fact, my Streak would have ended in May of ’84 had my wife (Fiancé at the time) not laced my sneakers when I had a back problem. Although running was “my deal” and something that “Dad did,” I am now keenly aware that my running streak was not unnoticed. It was not anonymous. In this day of instant everything there is something good about commitment. It is a good thing to persist, grind, work through the tough times. Adversity reveals character. I believe that is the lasting story of my accomplishment. I received some congratulations today and it brought back some funny and sad stories that 40 years offer. • Being escorted home by the local police as I went for a run in the middle of a 36 inch Blizzard. • Youthful bet of running from Bergen County NJ to Belmar at the Jersey shore. • September 11, 2001 – running home from my office in NYC because the Bridges and Tunnels were closed. To my wife Kathy – Thank you for being there through it all. To my children Jennifer, Shannon, Ryan and Sean – you have never known a day that I did not run. Thank you for being patient. To the USRSA – Thank you for letting me join the Club! Cumulative Mileage 90,228.1. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ “In running, it doesn’t matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack or last. You can say, ‘I have finished.’ There is a lot of satisfaction in that.” - Fred LeBow (1932-1994), founder of the New York City Marathon. 4 Tim Woodbridge TIM WOODBRIDGE’S STREAK HITS 39 YEARS By: Tim Woodbridge Allentown, Pennsylvania Thanks for the 39th anniversary wishes from the USRSA! Always look forward to that each year – as well as the chance to write about some of the events of the last year! I was really sorry to hear about Ron Hill breaking his streak – it makes you appreciate your own streak as you see those ahead of you sometimes have to stop. My comment always used to be when people asked “will it bother you to break your streak?” – I would immediately say – “nope – because they will be closing the lid on my casket – so I really won’t care at that point…” Well, the last few years as several of the guys that I have known for a long time – had to say they just couldn’t keep going – you realize that the “streak” isn’t necessarily up to you! That said – as I read about the Mark Covert and Ron Hill of our group – you do come to that realization – that you were blessed to be able to do what you did – for as long as you did – and really just enjoy the accomplishment! 5 I have to admit – I really enjoy the Facebook page and all of the new runners that are starting up their streaks; hitting that 1st year; earning their comma’s; etc. – It just makes you smile and root for everyone – not that it is for everyone – but it is a very inspiring thing! I have mentioned that last couple of years – I’ve had to “re-behave” in terms of training regimen due to some arthritis in my knees! So only ran 810 miles this last year (total streak miles of 78,437) – but spent almost 3000 minutes in the running pool at my gym (30 meter pool with 4 ft. of water with 8 lanes to run laps in). Not a real exciting workout - but this type of training still allows me to get out and run a few races… I joined a “Bootcamp” Group, which meets on Saturdays at 6 a.m. – did it as a bit of a challenge (the director wanted an “old guy” to join the group… that comment hurt a bit tho!) - as the director has a bunch of 30-40 year olds complaining about the workouts – he figured if I could just finish – they’d have to shut up… So I went – and I did finish the course that morning – just barely though… (I actually asked my wife if she could brush my teeth the next morning as I couldn’t lift the toothbrush…) I’ve been doing this now for 3 months – and I do have to modify some parts of the workout – but I have to admit – it has been a real good addition to my workout even though there is very little running… We all have nick-names and avatars – so naturally mine is “Streaker”… Haven’t done upper body or core workouts in 30 years – highly recommend it – assuming you have an director than understands jumping over fences etc.

  • Kathrine Switzer: How One Run Broke the Barrier of Discrimination in Women's Athletics
    1 Kathrine Switzer: How One Run Broke the Barrier of Discrimination in Women’s Athletics Marlena Olson and Sam Newitt Junior Division Group Documentary Process Paper: 499 words 2 Kathrine Switzer challenged societal and legal barriers against women participating in distance running as the first woman to complete the Boston Marathon. Her landmark run increased women’s participation in sports and paved the way for the passage of Title IX. We are interested in running, and after initially researching Bobbi Gibb’s story, we discovered Kathrine Switzer. Switzer’s 1967 Boston Marathon run had a large amount of press coverage, which provided primary sources, and showed the cultural importance of her run. We began our research by reading secondary sources; we determined that a knowledge base was necessary to interpret primary sources. Next, we began locating primary sources, including photographs and newspapers from the 1960s. Additionally, a teacher suggested we interview Dr. Laura Raeder, who has run a marathon in every U.S. state. She provided insight on the integration of women in marathon running. Our school librarian assisted us in locating databases for both primary and secondary sources. We downloaded more than fifty historical newspaper articles from Newspapers.com, and we read Marathon Woman, Switzer’s autobiography. These primary sources helped ​ ​ demonstrate initial reactions from 1967. Although we located an abundance of sources, there was one source we sought but were not able to use: a direct interview with Kathrine Switzer. We emailed Switzer’s media director and requested a Skype interview. Switzer was not able to fulfill our request, however, the director sent us a press folder.

  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.

    `Once Upon A Time By William Fink The Beginnings Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, sometime after Harvey discovered the circulation of blood, or maybe it was after Lavoisier discovered oxygen (I'm not sure), Leroy "Bud" Getchell returned to Ball State after obtaining his doctorate from the University of Illinois, having sat at the feet of one T. K. Cureton. "We need to start an exercise physiology lab," he said, with stethoscope and Heartometer in hand. And so he did. That was 1965. He bought a Monarck ergometer, much to the dismay of the University, who thought that $500 was quite a lot of money for a bicycle without wheels. Now Bud was busy about many things. He was enlisting men in a noon fitness jogging program, and selling them Tiger running shoes to boot. He was teaching his share of classes, trying to fund a couple hundred hobbies, AND he was coaching the Ball State basketball team.
