DEHYDRATION
Jerry Hiatt
|
| |
|
Over the past several
days we have had
extremely hot weather
with the heat index
reaching as high as 105
degrees. When the heat
index gets this high it
can be very dangerous
and should be given a
great deal of respect.
That means you should
consider maintaining
hydration throughout the
day not just when you go
out to run. In addition
to water, a runner
should also consider a
good sports drink that
will help in
maintaining/replacing
electrolyte balance in
their system. Studies
have been done
indicating a loss of 2
percent of body weight
leads to about a 6
percent reduction in
running performance. |
| |
|
I work with several
runners, some of which
are starting to prepare
for their marathons in
the fall. Even though I
know they are aware of
the need to stay
hydrated, I catch myself
reminding them over and
over to drink, drink,
drink. I have
found it to be of
benefit to drink a
sports drink during
their longer runs and
especially within 30
minutes of finishing
their workouts. If a
runner is going to do
short runs they should
still be certain they
stay hydrated. Some
runners prefer ingestion
of Gu Energy Gel during
their long runs and
doing this is fine but
still maintaining
hydration is very
important.
The importance of
hydration enhances a
runner’s ability to
train better which leads
to better quality
workouts and improved
conditioning. From a
physiological standpoint
as a runner dehydrates
the blood volume
decreases because of
sweating and this means
less blood returns to
the heart. Less blood
being pumped by your
heart means less oxygen
reaching your working
muscles and this leads
to less energy
aerobically and the
runner will run at a
slower pace. This also
means recovery for the
next run will be slower.
The other factor to
consider is the rise of
core temperature. |
 |
| |
|
I highly recommend a
runner consider doing
their workouts early
morning. However, if
that is not possible
then late evening should
be considered as these
are the cooler parts of
the day. Not only is
this beneficial in
helping to maintain
hydration but also
keeping that Florida Sun
from harming the skin.
Safe & Happy
Running

Ken Bendy |
|
A befitting farewell from
RRCA President, Brent Ayer |
|
Every president of the Road
Runners Club of America is given
the discretion of recognizing
one or two individuals each year
for contributions made to the
organization and to the
promotion of the sport. |
| |
|
This year, on March 28 during
the final evening of our 51st
convention, I was pleased to
present Ken Bendy with
the RRCA President’s Award.
Ken’s service to his clubs and
to the RRCA spans decades and I
could not do it justice in a
limited amount of space. |
| |
|
I served a term as Eastern
Region Director that overlapped
one of Ken’s as Southern Region
Director. I have never felt so
inadequate in my life. |
| |
|
The shear number of email
updates, regional newsletters,
website contacts, visits to
clubs, and championship events
dwarfed anything I was doing. I
lived in dread of his next email
update that would expose my
under performance. |
| |
|
In the late 80’s and early
1990’s, I served on the board of
the RRCA as Treasurer and I have
been either a board member or an
observer for 25 of the
organizations fifty-one years.
As part of our 50th
anniversary celebration last
year, I interviewed every living
president. Based on what I have
learned and observed, I believe
that Ken is simply the best
regional director in RRCA
history. |
| |
|
His passion for promoting the
sport and his dedication to the
state representatives and club
leaders of the Southern Region
are unmatched. We appreciate
everything he has done for the
RRCA and we will miss him
greatly as a member of the
national board. |

Healthy Eating
And Summer Fun! |
| |
|
With
temptation at every rest-stop,
beachfront grill and hip new
restaurant, it's difficult to eat
healthy while on vacation. But
there’s no reason to stop your
progress just because you’re taking
a well needed rest. The key is to
find the happy medium between
avoiding junk foods and an
occasional indulgence while you’re
away. There are several strategies
and tricks I’d like to share to help
you avoid summer weight gain while
away (or even at home!). |
| |
|
Breakfast and lunch
alternatives
- Without a doubt, breakfast is
still the most important meal of the
day and should never be skipped. If
you are staying in a hotel with a
continental breakfast, stay away
from fatty pastries, muffins and
donuts, and stick to fresh fruits,
hard boiled or scrambled eggs or
fiber rich cereals instead. If you
are on your own for breakfast, there
are always healthy alternatives on
any restaurant menu. You can’t go
wrong with eggs, wheat toast and
fresh fruit. |
| |
|
Eating out, not
pigging out
– While away, most likely the
majority of your meals will be eaten
at restaurants. Just remember that
healthy choices are now offered
everywhere. The main concerns with
eating out are portion sizes and
making the right choices. Stay away
from anything fried or with heavy
sauces and go with items that are
grilled, broiled or steamed. Most
importantly, just because the food
is in front of you does not mean you
have to finish your plate. Stop
eating when you feel full. |
|
|
|
Tasty treats
– While away, your activity level
may be higher than usual. You may be
walking around or swimming at the
pool and burning more calories. With
all those extra calories burned
there's room for a little bit of
indulgence. Every vacation spot has
unique foods and treats that you
shouldn't pass up. Once again, it is
all about how much you eat, so limit
your treats to one per day. |
| |
|
Road trip healthy
eating
- Eating healthy and road trips are
two phrases that are not commonly
used together, but it is possible.
It is too easy to pull over and grab
a combo meal or pick up some chips
at the gas station. There are
alternatives to both of these. Pack
a cooler full of healthy snacks like
fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy
sandwiches, yogurt, granola, trail
mix and lots of water so you remain
hydrated. If you must stop at a fast
food place, consider healthy options
like a salad or a fruit cup as
substitutions for fries. Or go with
a grilled chicken alternative |
| |
|
Eating healthy while
away from home is easy to do if you
keep these strategies in mind. You
are on vacation, so it's okay to
indulge now and then, as long as you
make healthy decisions the rest of
the time. Think of how good it will
feel when you don’t gain “vacation
weight”! |

Sue
O'Malley, the oldest of four children,
was born in Scranton, Pa., and grew up
in Stroudsburg, Pa. She attended
East Stroudsburg State College.
She and J.J. were married in 1991 and
moved to Watkins Glen, NY. They
relocated to Homestead in 1998 and her
husbands job brought them Port Orange in
2001. Sue and J.J. have one
daughter, Erin, who is going into her
senior at Father Lopez.
Sue is a substitute teacher and head
Cross -Country and track coach at Lopez.
Sue is
in her 35th. year of running. She
started at the age of 14 when she went
out for the high school team. Her
friends were running and she was too
small and uncoordinated to play other
sports. She is still the school
record holder in the mile (5:24) and two
mile (11:19); Seven-time
Centennial League mile and two mile
champ, district runner-up seven times,
went to states four times in high
school. The school didn’t have
cross-country, so Sue competed as an
individual and won the district title
her junior year and went to states.
In 2002 Sue
backed off on her training/racing for
five years due to teaching schedule and
taking care of Erin in her pre-teen
years. Family was more important.
|
| |
|
At East Stroudsburg State College (now
university) Sue ran both track and
cross-country. She was the top X-C
runner all four years, and won the Army
Invitational twice and went to nationals
in Idaho. In track, she was a seven-time
state champ in the 5,000 and 10,000 and
was All-American in the 10,000 (35:55)
her junior year. |
| |
|
Sue's most memorable race was the U.S.
Olympic Trials for the inaugural women’s
marathon in 1984 (my 25th
anniversary) in Olympia, Wash. She
finished 50th after being
seeded 85th. She was the
first Pennsylvanian with a time of
2:43:01, her PR. She also won the Marine
Corps Marathon in 1983 to qualify with a
2:45.
Her recent favorite event was competing
in the Emory Riddle Spikes Invitational
Meet, running the 5,000 meters, open and
collegiate women. She led start to
finish. With one lap to go, all the
local high school and collegiate teams
came out to cheer her on, which was a
moving experience. |
 |
| |
|
Sue's
favorite distance is the 15K or 1/2
marathon. She trains 7 days a week
logging in about 70 miles per week.
She does track once a week, tempo runs
and tries to race every weekend.
She enjoys doing track workouts and
tempo runs with a group but daily
training runs, her shadow is her
companion. |
| |
|
Sue has a couple of
running goals. She would like to
be a world masters champion someday on
the track 5K or 10K.
She would also like to
compete in a foreign country and do
missionary work with children who like
to run. She would like to someday be a
college coach in either track or cross
country (or both), so she can give back.
She has some impressive times that would
qualify her to meet her goals.
Sue's PR's: 5K – 17:11 (18:45
masters). 10K, 35:55 (38:45 masters) ˝
marathon, 1:18 (1:28 masters), marathon,
2:43:01 (3:07 masters) |
| |
|
Sue
enjoys cycling, reading and watching
movies with the family. Like all
women, she loves to shop! She
likes the idea the Beachcombers are for
runner's of all levels and abilities and
they are very friendly both running and
away from running. She enjoys the
social aspect of the club. |
 |
| |
|
 |
I bet
you didn't know Sue was once on a
Wheaties box. She was the Florida
winner in a contest in search for every
day heroes. She also carried the
torch for the 2001 Winter Olympics in
Ft. Lauderdale. Sue collects
Snoopies and Olympic and Prefontaine
memorabilia. She has autographed
running dolls of
Shorter, Rodgers, Viren, Waitz, Benoit,
Mel Rosen. She
also helped start a running camp for
kids who couldn’t afford to go to camp
for the Miami Road Runners Club (which
continues to today).
Sue continues to set goals. She
has been the overall women’s winner in
199 races! 200 coming up soon.
She was the overall female winner at the
2008 Palmer College Paint The Towne and
2009 RayZ Awareness. In May she
won her 5th race in a row at the Oviedo
Teal Ribbon Race.
Sue's advice to runners?
Never give up – there is no finish line!
Be patient and listen to your body.
Visit the mecca of running – Eugene
Oregon. |
| |
|
|
Sue turns
50 next summer and is looking forward to
moving up into a new age group. She
has been blessed with the ability to run and
has been an amazing inspiration to women at
all levels and age. She is grateful for the
friends she has made along the way.
She has goals, a sense of purpose in running
and she continues to strive to get better -
and she does. Sue is also a super
volunteer. Running a race then
volunteering afterwards is not unusual for
Sue. She's a very generous, caring and
thoughtful individual. Pretty neat
gal!

Something Down The
Drain? Retrieve it Without a Wrench
An amazing trick! 1-minute video
shows you how to easily retrieve anything that went
down the drain without a pipe wrench or a plumber.
This has nothing to do with running
but the coolest household tip!

Another cool site. Educational and fun.
as you run your curser over the people,
it tells you who they are and provides a link to
Wikipedia (if you double click) to get more
information on each person. This could keep you occupied
for hours.

graduation procession which was delightful. From
there they went to New Hampshire and Maine.
Patrick was surprised by a party celebrating his 80th
birthday in Durham, N.H. with over 50 friends and family
attending. Then onto Patrick's 50th College
reunion for 3 days at St. Anselm College. Life is
good, Patrick is getting younger each year and loves
this life in the Villages (when he's not visiting the
kids). |

unique trail running and biking race was fun and
challenging for everyone. Both beginning athletes and
experienced racers alike had a great time along the
course and through the obstacles, especially in the
infamous Mud Pit! |
|
Each race features a 6-7
mile course and 5 obstacles. At the start of the race,
one team member will run and one will ride the bike. At
the 1st obstacle, the rider will drop the bike, complete
the obstacle, and begin running. The runner will arrive,
complete the obstacle, find their bike, and begin
riding. Teams will continue leapfrogging each other
through the entire course. At the end of the race,
racers will crawl through the infamous Mud Pit crossing
the finish line together! |

Way to go dude!
Rick Ingerson completed the Comrades Marathon in
Durban in May. The first Comrades Marathon took place
on 24th May 1921, Empire Day, starting outside the City Hall
in Pietermaritzburg with 34 runners. It has continued since
then every year with the exception of the war years
1941-1945, with the direction alternating each year between
Pietermaritzburg and Durban, the so called up & down runs.
The Comrades Marathon is a
cherished national treasure and attracts thousands of
runners, spectators and television viewers every year.

If you ask my
younger daughter what I do, she'll tell you that I'm the fastest
runner in the world. In other words, she doesn't know much
about running. |

The more I run, the more I want to run, and the more I live a
life conditioned and influenced and fashioned by my running. And the
more I run, the more certain I am that I am heading for my real
goal: to become the person I am. -George Sheehan, M.D. |

Running is a road
to self awareness
and self reliance.
You can push yourself to extremes
and learn the harsh reality of
your physical and mental
limitations
or
coast quietly down
a solitary path
watching the Earth
spin at your feet.
But, when you are through,
exhilarated and exhausted,
at least for the moment
everything seems right
in the world.
