Spring in the ARE Spring in the ARE Spring has extra meaning for club members this year with the advent of our new trail running Grand Prix Series. The first race in the series was our very own Dodge the Deer 5k. With nearly 500 participants between the 5k and fun runs, over sixty volunteers, and scores of family and friends, this year’s race was the club’s largest event ever held. We are very thankful for Schodack Island State Park’s assistance and encouragement of our beloved spring trail race.

On Thursday, May 22 at Rensselaer Lake Park (Six Mile Waterworks) on Fuller Road, we kick off our fifth annual Summer Trail Run Series with a 5k run followed by a cook-out. The event is free and the series has emerged as an absolute must-do for capital region runners. In 2007, we averaged nearly 100 runners a week for the fun, low-key runs and are expecting even larger numbers this year. We vary the location each week to bring you to numerous places throughout the region – check the ARE’s website for more information.

North Face Endurance Challenge Bear Mountain – April 12, 2008

Paul Mueller

The week before Dodge the Deer (v6.0) about a dozen members of the ARE found themselves down in Rockland County in the middle of a brightly lit field on a mountainside in the shadows of 4:45AM. “Why were they there, of all places?” one may ask. They were there volunteering their time at The North Face Endurance Challenge Regional Race at Bear Mountain. It was the opening race in a competitive series of 4 regional qualifiers leading up to the Championship Race at year’s end in San Diego, California. Each regional race consists of four distances: 10k, half marathon, 50k, and 50 mile, with the courses “designed to take place on as much trail as possible.” None of these ARE-ers were there to run any of the races, as they had all just only found out about the race a matter of only a few weeks before-hand. (Although there were a few ARE faces to be found on the starting lines.) They were there to help where help was needed: mainly at the many aid stations along the course and a few at critical turns or splits in the courses.

Being as they were on the side of the trail, the ARE volunteers did not have the chance to venture too far

onto the trails to see what the course was like. Instead, they tried to squeeze as much information as they could out of each

runner during their short stay at their

tents full of goodies. For instance, Christopher Chromczak may or may not have allegedly been seen possibly sitting on the back of one gentlemanly runner in a tearful attempt to find out just how technical the

course truly was. OK, that’s a slight fabrication; Chris is a nice guy and wouldn’t do that to anyone. But he did spend a lot of time talking to many of the runners and did get the scoop on the trail. If you love trails in their natural and ungroomed state, this is a race you need to do next year! They are said to be far from the wood-chip leaden soft and cushy trails of either the Pine Bush or Schodack Island.

A few of the 50 milers were heard to say that the course was more difficult than Escarpment. There were rocks the size of feet embedded in the dirt the whole way, as well as plenty of roots to trip up an army. And let’s not forget about the elevation changes. The course profile looks like the printout of a sprinter’s heartbeat after setting a new record. Ups and downs followed by downs and ups, it was a never-ending battle against gravity. Word on the trail side was that the downhills were worse than the uphills thanks to the loose footing much of the time.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the reports, underestimating them, misbelieving what the evidence shows, and potentially flat out losing my mind, but this sounds like a race a runner like me could look forward to. I can’t wait for it next year, just the thought of getting to battle an endless sea of rocks and roots and dirt, and slipping and sliding, and fearing the potentially inevitable falls and resulting bruises makes me want to go run the race right now. But then again, all my friends say I’m a crazy runner.

Steve Sweeney ran the 50 miler.

Marathon Mantras Jessica Hageman

“Let the Run Come.” That’s the mantra printed on my Road ID Tag (yes, I was once suckered by that flier with all the tragic stories). That mantra guides me through training, and it recently led me through my marathon PR in Boston. However, it had some help.

I was running with my friend Pam, and we must have already been tired around mile 5 because she asked if I used running mantras to get me through tough runs. I told her my mantra and how it meant that I should run casually and not force things. I usually just jog along until I feel good, and then I go like hell. If there’s a day when I don’t feel good, I don’t run fast or far. It’s pretty simple: I don’t go out to run; I let the run come to me.

Pam said she has different mantras for different races, and that day’s mantra was something to the effect of “Pain is temporary; pride is forever.” She was reminding herself that she could fight through the pains of the marathon. I usually avoid pain in marathons by following my mantra and not running any faster than what feels good. However, on this particular day, it was only mile 5, and I was already in pain. My left calf had issues. It cramped in bed the night before the race. I tried to convince myself that it only cramped because I was sleeping in a friend’s bed and the sheets were all tucked in really tight and I couldn’t move my feet much. Positive thinking is powerful, yet, not completely problem solving. Pam told me to experiment with my stride to see if I could find something to ease the pain so I started taking shorter steps, having more of a back kick, stepping on the outside of the foot, landing more

on the toes, and lifting the knee higher. You name it, I tried it but to no avail. I kept thinking if it hurts at mile 5, what the heck will happen at mile 22, 23, 24 when people really begin to hurt?

I used Pam’s mantra for a while, and then I remembered one I had come across while training for the JFK 50 Mile: “This too shall pass.” The idea is that when running ultras, you’re going to have bad spells but they will only be temporary. I only had to use that once at JFK, but it worked for me. My knee locked up around mile 42-44. I would run 100 steps and if it were too painful I would stop but then I’d run another 100 steps a moment later. After several cycles of that, my knee started working again. Pretty cool! So, at Boston, I started to believe the calf pain would go away and not get worse. I remember the pain still being there at Wellsley College, but somewhere after that, it disappeared. I don’t consciously remember when, but I know it must have gone away because I remember it coming back after the finish!

Repeating these mantras helped the miles pass, as did counting the shouts of “Go, Albany.” I wore my ARE singlet, and 40-50 people must have cheered for me just because of that. Wow!!! There were countless other daydreams swimming in my mind and one additional mantra crept into my head, not because I was in pain, but probably because I’teacher who was feeling slightly guilty about skipping the day of school. It’s one I’m sure you’ve all heard before: “One small step for man. One giant leap for mankind.” That thought made me laugh, but being able to entertain yourself in a marathon is critical to success.

THE MUDKITTEN MUSINGS “It is impossible to keep a straight face in the presence of one or more kittens.”

~Cynthia E. Varnado

Meet the Mudkittens!

Colleen Hayden The Mudkitten’s very own life sized Barbie Doll. Amanda Long The wise Mudkitten who all the others go to for advice. Erin Rightmyer The Mudkitten most known to stop traffic… because she runs in front of cars without looking. Jennifer Senez The sociable Mudkitten who always has the latest gossip to share

Hi everyone, we’re the Mudkittens and we hope to share our enjoyment of running with the rest of the ARE community by exposing you to the reasons we run: hot boys, fun friends, gossip, and cute running attire…and also the love of the sport!!

Mudkitten Eye Candy of the Month*Aaron Knobloch*

Aaron Knobloch is the Mudkitten's very first pick for yummy eye candy. Aaron is very fast on the race course but slow... well, anywhere else that you might ask him to be. With a long list of notable races under his belt we really fell for him when hearing about his win at the 1st Annual Peppertree Rescue 5k. Aaron has a job that we can't pronounce and definitely don't understand but we are pretty sure he is raking in the dough, so keep your eyes on Dr. Knobloch ladies and gents...we know that we plan to!

‘Honorary Mudkitten of the Month *Melanie Snay*

The Mudkittens would like to honor Melanie Snay as our very first Honorary Mudkitten. Melanie exemplifies the Mudkitten’s outlook on running with her enjoyment and excitement. She has her own group of female running cohorts and it’s rare to see her without a huge smile on her face at races and other events. Like any good Mudkitten, Melanie always arrives with her cute male running comrade in tow and adorable running attire on. Congratulations Melanie, we’re proud to name you our Mudkitten of the Month!

Ask The Mudkittens

Hi Mudkittens! I’m really struggling with finding a nice spring running outfit. You girls always look so put together. Do you have any recommendations?

–Mismatched in Voorheesville Dear Mismatched- As a matter of fact, we have just come across a great new addition to our running wardrobes. The new line of Mizuno running skirts (available at Fleet Feet) comes in your choice of blue or black. After testing them out on a run, we found them to be much more comfortable than last year’s model…and waaaaaay cuter!! They also have matching singlets! These skirts are a little bit of a splurge but the way they make your legs look is priceless. BEWARE: do not enter a Fleet Feet unless you are prepared to buy one. They are truly irresistible.

We would love to get feedback (questions, comments, advice, suggestions, marriage proposals) on our column so please drop us a line at [email protected]

An ARE Guys guide to…

Cross Training Neil Snedeker

It can be said that variety is the spice of life. Now some people love running so much that running is all they talk about, think about, or do. Limiting yourself to just one activity could set you up for failure so I will help you find some fun and exciting alternatives to running. I could just throw out cycling and swimming and end the article here but there is no fun in that. Sometimes I call my cross-training regiment the “Rocky Method of Training” in reference to Rocky’s training regiment in the movie “Rocky IV”. It is such a motivational and inspirational scene.

Are you tired of doing speed work and sprints on the track? Well the next time you have a day off throw on a daypack, pack a lunch and head to the closest mountain. Hiking up the mountain will work a lot of the

same muscles you would have worked on had you done a speed workout and it will help to relax you and give you peace of mind. The ascent should help to strengthen your calves. The tougher the climb, the more of an aerobic workout it will give you too. Take a break at the summit to have your lunch and then

anything too tough. I have noticed I have my best runs for a week or so after a hike.

Afraid to show your face at the local gym? Runners typically aren’t the most muscular people you come across and many feel intimated attempting to lift weights in front of others. You can work out several upper body muscles at once with only an axe and some logs. Start off by splitting the logs into smaller sections and then split those pieces into a manageable size. It won’t strengthen specific muscles quickly like lifting weights would but it strengthens them all evenly and naturally. You will eventually see stronger biceps, triceps, pecs, abs, and lower back muscles. Then afterwards you can invite some people over for a bonfire! Perhaps chopping wood isn’t your thing. Another option would be to work on a farm doing hay. Spending a few hours a day unloading hay wagons and stacking hay in the loft will get you very strong very quickly without adding too much bulk. Now there is a downside to this: a couple of hours on the farm is exhausting work. By the time you get home you will be too tired to get in a good run. I spent a few summers working on a farm and I was very fit but just too tired to run some days.

If none of these activities appeal to you, try yoga. While it won’t really fit in as an alternative to running or strength training it can keep you healthy and motivated. There are several types of yoga; some concentrating on deep stretching and others on deep breathing and relaxation. After a few sessions you will notice that you are becoming much more flexible. Your muscles should also be less tense which will help you to become a more efficient runner that will lead to faster times and a smaller chance of injury. s
Club members on a hike in the Catskill
the descent should work out your quads. The hike should also help strengthen some muscles you don’t usually work out while running, which will help the balance between your muscles and can help prevent injury. For your first time out don’t try to tackle

These were just a few examples of alternative ways to stay in shape. Hopefully this article helped to open your mind and you will try new things - there are so many to choose from! Give it a go and you may see improvements in your running and motivation!

Dodge the Deer 5k – Year 6 April 20, 2008

For the first time in three years, the with beautiful weather! Nearly four hundred participants ran in the main event, n the two fun runs. Perhaps the most entertaining twist of events was that when the fastest couple (“Mr. and Mrs. Dodge”) was announced, no one stepped forward. Eager to crown one of the fifty couples as Mr. and Mrs. Dodge, event director, Josh Me summoned the second place couple (who finished just a few seconds back.) As fate would have it, their kiss would appear on the cover of the Daily Gazette the next day.
