September/October 2004 In Passing 5 IN PASSING President’s Corner Gabriel Lopez-Walle After a great Allerton Trail Race, I would like to thank you for participating in this race either as a volunteer or by running it. Everything turned out great— even the weather couldn’t have been better. This race has been our main event for 17 years and every improvement has been possible thanks to all of you. Our Tuesday Fun Runs at Meadowbrook Park have ended for the year, but they have moved to the Armory. Now, every Tuesday you can decide if you want to run with either the outdoor group at 6pm or the indoor group at 6:30pm. I hope to see you every week. Our Fun Runs have seen a great increase in the number of participants thanks to you, who have always brought new friends to join us. It was very nice to see all of you at the Pizza Party. Even though it was a rainy day, that didn’t stop us from having a big group at the fun run and an excellent turn out at the Pizza Party. It was great to exchange stories and see everybody once again. I would like to thank all our volunteers for all our races. The Allerton Trail Race was our last race for this year, and none of these races had been possible without the great support of our volunteers. I really appreciate the professionalism and enthusiasm that you bring to our events.

September/October 2004 In Passing 7 IN PASSING New Faces in the Club Matt Snyder

Q. When and why did you start running? A. I ran a little in high school (I’m 45). I started running recreationally a lot in the Army and continued until about 10 years ago when work pushed running aside. A little over a year ago, I started running regularly again so I could be faster and irritate my kids (both of whom run cross-country). My new racing flats are my mid-life crisis red sports car.

Q. Why did you join Second Wind? A. I joined Second Wind because I was feeling guilty about attending the speed workouts as a non-member, although Tim was too genteel (no, really) to point it out. Photo Courtesy Rob Raguet-Schofield

The Columbus Marathon has a slogan, “Our world is flat” (think Christopher Columbus). The Chicago Marathon is flatter but is not better. Columbus might change its slogan to “Our world is wide!” The marathon route starts on Broad Street, which sets the stage for the course. This route is wide, having very few constrictions and no human jam-ups. I rarely had to concentrate on the feet of the runners in front of me like you do in Chicago. The course takes you through the nice sections of Columbus and neighboring towns—nice neighborhoods, the German village, downtown, OSU campus, and back to downtown.

Race day for the Wild, Wild, Wilderness Run turned out gorgeous, sunny and perhaps a tad warm. 424 runners finished the race and Second Wind was well represented. In addition to those running, the Buffaloes manned the first water stop. Tony Suttle, Karin Gibbs, Bill Dey, Marty and Jessica Ern, Jane and Nathan Domier, and Kennekuk’s Chris Ferrel were all playing Gunga Din. After filling several hundred cups with water, we watched the leaders blazing past, most not stopping for water. During the middle of the pack things only got marginally hectic. It was great seeing scores of friends running past. A lull of several minutes let us refill cups and pick up discarded cups before the lead runners returned. Again most of the fast runners didn’t stop. It was great seeing Dr. Ken Bodine, Rachel Linder, and Chris Bryon among the leaders. More of the middle of the pack runners stopped for water, but they were more spread out. Teresa Halfar came by, while “Low Rider” was playing on the boom box. Marty and Karin left to pace her to the finish. We passed out a few more cups of water, policed the area, emptied the water jugs, loaded up and headed to the start/ finish. There we ran into other Second Wind members working the race, Dave Ghent as race photographer, Arithi Kylasam and Nancy Gillis working the food line, while Scott Hendren with Marc and Deb Reddy were cracking the whip in the center ring. Kennekuk puts on great races with wonderful post race festivities and this year’s Wilderness Run was no exception. That is one of the reasons so many runners are members of both clubs. –Bill Dey
