Track Tit les ToGalfano. Wychunas

Our 1984 track championships concluded in August with Tony Galfano and Cathy Wychunas emerging as winners in the open category andLinda Geppert and Carmelo Roldan victorious in masters' competition.

It was left to Pete Corsino to keep our eventual champion froma practical walkover. The two, tied after two events, battled downto the last evening with Tony pulling away slightly as the eventsbecame shorter. He eventually prevailed chalking up a 3380 pointtotal to 3110 for runner-up Pete.

The ladies competition saw only six entrants - three in each ofthe categories. In the open those three did participate in all events but one. Trailing slightly after the opening 5K, Cathie went ont o a n e a s y v i c t o r y s c o r i n g m ^ » — , - ^ ^ _ r - ^ = r870 points.Betsy Feuer did wL I W1 PI C R£ PORTmiss the opening race butcame on to edge Pat t i Kennedy for the second spot.

When Not to Run

You should never exercise while you suffer from an acuteinfection—and a common cold is just that. Also stop exercisingif you have the flu, an intestinal upset or other virus disorders. Ifyou have a fever, wait until your temperature returns to normal.Then wait at least an additional 24 hours. Not before thenshould you resume exercise—and then at a slower pace than bef o r e y o u r i l l n e s s . , r ,

The New York City marathon is upon usonce more. For those of us who have beena part of this event the feeling seemsto be universal: it is one spectacularh a p p e n i n g .

The logistics and organization aremind boggling, and being able to pull itoff in New York City is truly a miracle.(Ask anyone who has to deal with any NewYork City agency.)

As usual the TRRC will be representedwell with many of our members fortunateto have been selected. Additionally,youcan be assured of many TRRC faces amongthe two million spectators traditionallyl i n i n g t h e c o u r s e .

For those of you who have not experienced the N.Y.C. marathon, i f you canfit it into your plans to be in the BigCity on October 28, I'm sure you willind it worth the trip and probably findyourself standing in line for a '85 app l i c a t i o n .

When Not to RunYou should never exercise while you suffer from an acute

infection—and a common cold is just that. Also stop exercisingif you have the flu, an intestinal upset or other virus disorders. Ifyou ve a fever, wait until your temperature returns to normal.Then wait at least an additional 24 hours. Not before thenshould you resume exercise—and then at a slower pace than bef o r e y o u r i l l n e s s . ^ T , .— Dr. Kenneth Cooper

Many people have the condition known as Morton's Toe. It is acondition we are born with: the second toe is considerably longerthan the big toe. Runners who have Morton's Toe are oftensusceptible to various foot and lower-leg injuries, if you experience such ailments you may have to consult a physician orpodiatrist for help. You will also have to be especially careful inselecting running shoes.

MUSINGS OF A LATE STARTER (AND FINISHER)

by James J. Hamilton

What has impressed me most of allthough, is, I guess, as good a word asany, camaraderie (perhaps corny),that exemplifies every race.
