Well, Editor: Rob Schoborg the signs are different for different people. For me, the 623 W. Maple St. first sign is a lack of ability to sleep. Resting pulse rate is Johnson City, TN 37604 another good indicator. If your resting pulse (taken 423-926-1265 (H) before you get out of bed in the morning) is elevated for 423-439-6295 (W) several days in a row, you need a rest day. Another E-mail: [email protected] easily recognizable sign is poor mental attitude. If you don’t feel like running for several days in a row, maybe Split Times is published quarterly in January, April, July and your body is trying to tell you that it needs some rest. October. The deadline for contributions is the 10th of the preceding month. If you are on the verge of burnout, what do you CLUB WEBSITE ADDRESS do? The answer is easy - take a break from running. Do something else - go hiking, biking, play basketball, or WWW.RUNTRICITIES.ORG maybe do nothing at all. This is pretty difficult for most runners, after all, to quote Oscar Wagner, “running is Cover Photo: Tommy Antenucci on his about not quitting”. However, running is also about fun and stress reduction. Taking a few days (or weeks) off way to victory in the Firecracker 4 can give your body and mind much needed rest, miler/Tennessee State 4 Mile Road increasing your enjoyment of the sport and making it Championship. more likely you will be able to train at a higher level later (and get that PR you have been striving for). See you all out on the road! Rob Split Times, page 2 . From the President’s Pen SFTC President – David Fox I promised to teach you a little about the club this year, so here's a few notes. Did you know...? • SFTC earns most of its revenue by being hired by local races or renting equipment to them. • In 2006, SFTC will be involved in almost 50 events. On average, that's almost 1 event every weekend! o 24 equipment rentals o 13 races that hire SFTC to time and tabulate results o 8 races owned by SFTC (plus a few track meets) • The races owned by SFTC are: o War Party 10K o VA Creeper Marathon o Run The Tunnel o Roan Mtn 10K o New Years Wake Up 5K o Duck Island Mile (Spring, Summer, and Fall) • All other races are owned and directed by other organizations or individuals. Many people don't realize this and assume that SFTC has control over most races in the area. Not so. One of the overall missions of the club is to promote running and fitness in our area. As mentioned above, the club is involved in almost 50 races. Plus there are several other races beyond that. But if you went back a few years ago you'd probably only find 15 races or so. SFTC has played a huge role in growing that base. How? Well, besides being hired and offering equipment rentals, we offer: • Empowerment: The SFTC online race calendar is a free tool that helps races select a date and then promote their race to runners in our area. It even has a printable entry-form feature at no charge. • Expertise: Some SFTC members are often asked to guide new race directors with advice on planning, costs, equipment, and other race info. • Technical Knowledge: SFTC has 2 course certifiers who devote many hours to accurately measure and certify courses in the area. As you've probably heard, it's been difficult for the club to find volunteers and liaisons for our hired races. There have even been events where SFTC has had to withdraw... because we couldn't find a liaison and/or volunteers. For example, this year SFTC will not be working the Apple Festival 4 Miler. After years of searching for a liaison replacement, we had to drop that engagement from our work list. That was a very tough and emotional decision. When a new race requests to hire SFTC, we discuss it at our board meeting and attempt to locate a liaison to coordinate the job. If we cannot find a liaison, we notify the race that we cannot accept their request for hire. But we still try to coach them in any way we can. With this abundance of races, the club is in the best financial position it's ever been in almost 30 years of existence. This has come through careful planning and operation of our hired events. But now the board is seeking ways to put some money back into our area. Scholarship programs, grants, rebates, volunteer credits... these are all ways that the board is trying to reinvest in our running community. If you want to learn more or make suggestions, come join us at our monthly board meetings. You'll find the dates and times on the web calendar. David Split Times, page 3 A Game of Backsies By Oscar Wagner About six years ago I was running some pretty good times in an East Tennessee kind of way. Not like Zaf Ahmed, Richard Weeks can do or even like Bob Barber is doing now. Almost all training for those performances was done in Lane 7 at Liberty Bell Track. Let’s be clear that the workouts used were not the major factor in going from a decent good local runner in 1996 to first place Masters at Crazy 8’s in 1999. Conquering gravity had way more to do with this than anything else. I never paid much attention to my weight till our current Split Times editor suggested losing 5 pounds instead of plunge routing the EVA foam out of a pair of perfectly non-militant Nike Ancilles. Incidentally, if you try that, wear a face shield because it slings hot rubber all over. Stinks too. The sign at Liberty Bell says for casual runners and walkers to use Lanes 7 – 9 to save 1 – 6 for competition. Most of my training runs were originally set up in Lane 9 because it had the most gentle curves. However, walkers kind of took over the place and would get three abreast without noticing that some nut in gym shorts already had Lane 9. Furthermore that nut was bearing down on them (and maybe a PR) at about three times their velocity. It was a strong temptation to tell them that if they wanted a real thrill, they should try pulling out in front of a semi on Interstate 81 without looking. The solution was to grudgingly move everything to Lane 7 so I could dodge around into unoccupied Lane 6 to pass. If you’re interested in performance, you have to measure it and all its suspected components. What do you suspect? Stuff you hear about like shoe weight and style, body weight and fat percent, split control, speed work, hydration, rest and training regimen. My training log is composed of about 1700 DATA statements in IBM Basic.

Commencement Programs. 115. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/upub_commence/115 WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT I congratulate the members of the Class 0/2011 and you rfamilies on the achievement we mark at these Commencement exercises. The past years have been a time of change, progress, and exhilaration for each ofyou, and for the institution you have been a part of. Our University, long a leader in our region, has grown stronger every year you have been with us. Many of you contributed mightily to our success. You arrived at UConn well prepared for higher learning, intellectually curious, and perhaps a bit anxious about the life you were entering Now, as you leave us, you can take satisfaction in Imowing you met high standards in and out of the classroom, took advantage of the opportunities we ofJered, and prepared yourselves well for the challenges that lie before you. Those challenges may be substantial. You enter a world shaped by economic turmoil, acts of terror; religious and ethnic con~ict, and technological advances that may bode good or ill. It will befor each ofyou, in your own way, to try to build a better society, even as you strive to build meaningful and productive lives for yourselves. It is said that of those to whom much is given, much is asked. You have been given supportive families, a nation built on democratic values, and, now, afirst-class education.

I responded quite honestly: “High School Nettie wouldn’t have been surprised. She knew where we were heading.” She absolutely did. I have always been pretty sure I would end up with an advanced degree and I have always known what that would involve. The only question was one of how I was going to get here, but my favorite thing has always been watching television and movies. Once I learned that a job existed where I could watch television and, more or less, get paid for it, I threw myself wholeheartedly into pursuing that job. I get to watch television and talk to other people about it. That’s simply heaven for me. A lot of people helped me get here.
