JSRC volunteers and Special Olympians at the start of one of the races.
t was a dark and stormy morning as the Monmouth/Ocean County Special Olympics Track
and Field participants and volunteers started to assemble at Toms River High School for the
start of the 14th Annual Special Olympics Track & Field Meet on May 7th. Despite the threat
of a “nor’easter” and heavy rain, a large contingent of loyal JSRC members packed boots and rain
gear in preparation for the deluge and arrived at Toms River High School slightly before 9:00 am
to support the event. The excitement level was high when the opening ceremonies began and the
athletes paraded into the gym. The event brought smiles to all the very Special athletes who participated and competed in a spirited fashion in many events, ranging from 10-meter wheelchair races
to 1500-meter events. There were many exceptional performances by the athletes, and winners of
this competition will be competing in the summer games held at The College of New Jersey. To the
delight of all of the participants and volunteers, the rain held off and toward the end of the day the
sun was shining down on everyone, keeping alive a streak of no rain on the Special Olympics for
at least the last 15 years.

All of these upcoming races inspire me to get back into shape (NOT!)….actually
don’t you find that one of the hardest goals to accomplish is trying to get back into
shape after an injury (…or a winter of inactivity combined with an overdose of Ben
& Jerry’s). Sure, some of us never get to that point and are always in tip-top condition (the operative word is “some”) but MOST of us (slackers unite!) go through
peaks and valleys with respect to our physical conditioning. (I’m currently in the valley stage!). But
oftentimes what gets us through the toughest part of getting back into shape is having others around to
commiserate with us and keep us motivated. Try a group run—you’re bound to find someone who is in
the process of getting back into shape—or hook up with the “back of the pack” at races (they always
seem to have the most fun anyway!) The point is to just get out there—because there will always be
JSRC members just like you! K

April 26th Meeting Notes
Club President Tom Morrison opened by thanking the Deal Fire House for their hospitality.
Topics discussed:
• 14 members of JSRC wearing orange/working an aid station with cut oranges during the recent NJ
Shore Marathon. Club received a nice letter of thanks from Pam Allen.
• Discussion about upcoming event at Count Basie Theatre to honor Tim McCloone in their annual
fund raising drive. Possible ad in program.

Olympics Track Meet held on May 7 in Toms River. Many thanks to Bob Both for his outstanding
organization of these great events!
• Upcoming May races: Michael Thorne, Bahr’s, Father’s Day, Rumson Run will count as part of miles
run with the Bodman group, Spring Lake 5—need help with cleanup, see Bill Koch and for the kids
races-see Donna Melher.
• Women’s Running 101: John Mac spoke about this growing program. Moving Comfort is making a
donation to participants of 100 running tops.
• Balance Bar Grant: JSRC is going to submit a proposal to Balance Bar as they are asking for submissions

April events:
• 1st Annual Lake Como 5K (where was the mayor?) About 210 participants. Have a request by
Frank Pelcher to purchase cheap rain parkas for volunteers to wear for inclement weather. There
are supposedly some around, no firm decision made, Jerry Frazee reported that club should receive
about $2500.00 donation.
• Social activities: Possible Blue Claws event in June, a river cruise in August, and an afternoon at
Monmouth Racetrack in August. Looking for other ideas for purely social events/added participation.
• Tim Mahoney spoke about the 1st Annual Pat’s Run in Tempe Arizona: excess $100,000 raised for
the Pat Tillman Foundation. We thanked Tim for sharing the story.
• We greeted new members Judy, Betsy, Margis, and Jack.

It looks like Spring got the call from Mother Nature and is finally gracing us with nice weather. We all know
what a young person’s fancy turns to…running! Running the boards, running the races and running Club
runs—it’s all about camaraderie and having fun. If you know me, it’s also back to my begging for volunteers. If
you didn't get into Spring Lake, but you’d still like to have that award winning shirt, the 2005/2006 Spring Lake
Race Calendar and the designer pint glass…volunteer!Yes, volunteer to help with crowd control at the start and
clean up along Ocean Avenue after the Race on May 28th. We meet at 7 am sharp at the windfeather and find out
what exciting paraphernalia can be left behind by 10,000 runners and friends. (Ask Rick Valentine what he found
last year.) This is one of the largest donations to the club for our efforts. So, proudly wear your
orange colors and come on down for some good clean fun.
This month’s issue is full of information about the Club’s volunteer activities as well as information about how to
improve your running abilities and running safely through the summer. Hope you enjoy this month’s issue
|||||||||||||||||| and let us know if you have any ideas for stories or subjects. This is, after all, your newsletter. Happy running! K

JSRC Provides Orange Support
JSRC volunteers turned out in full force to pass
out orange slices (get it? ORANGE slices?) and
provide encouragement to the JSRC runners as
well as all the marathoners at a Local Shore
Marathon Sunday April 17th, 2005. Since we set
up shop near outbound mile marker 21 (inbound
mile marker 22.5), the runners were certainly at
a point where they appreciated the support!
The following JSRC members showed up in their
best orange to hang the feather, blast tunes from a
boom box, and generally cheer on the marathoners: Bill Koch, Eric MacKellar, Cathy Berth,
Mary Moriarty, Tom Morrison, Donna
Mehler, Candy Dice, Laura Schneider, Raman
Lakshmanan, Jeananne McFadden and her
friend Charles Liss, John MacGillivray, Elaine
Hartung, and another friend named John, whose
last name has escaped everyone in attendance!
Our orange station was located at the Deal
Casino on Ocean Ave. in Deal. The run began at
8:30am in Sandy Hook, and JSRC saw the first
runners around 10:45am. About 1360 runners
and walkers participated. We gave out two cases
of oranges as
well as
drinking
water, and
ran through
all of our
supplies.
The runners

profusely,
and we received a nice post-race thank-you
from race organizers as well.
We would like to once again acknowledge the
JSRC volunteers, whose duties also included
picking up the resulting trash (think orange
peels and cups as far as the eye could see) and,
of course, drinking the requisite beer afterward
as we watched lagging marathon participants
still trudging by at the six-hour mark. K
Member News
JSRC member Jim McMillan tells us his
daughter, Emily McMillan (family plan
JSRC member), is finishing her running
career at Saint Rose High School in Belmar
on June 9, graduating not only as a two-time
State Parochial B Champ in the 800 meters
(three-time on June 4?) but also as the holder
of many school relay and individual records in
a number of events. In addition to her running exploits, she has also assisted in Youth
Coaching for both the Wall Track program as
well as the Saint Rose Grammar School track
program. Many members of the JSRC are
familiar with her through road races, in
which she has been competing since she was
7. She has also competed in a number of the
Summer Series events throughout the years.
Emily will be continuing her running at
Villanova University in the fall, where she
hopes to continue to represent the Shore
and the JSRC on the collegiate stage.

Q:
A:
Is it a good idea to have a water stop
atop a hill during a race? —Cathy
Cathy, I definitely don't think a
water stop should be put at the top
or bottom of a hill.
You don't want a water stop at the top of a
hill because, when racing, you should always
try to run over the top of a hill. This means
running about 50 yards past the crest of a
hill. Doing this serves a couple of purposes:
first, you will pass a large number of people
in that 50 yards who come to almost a dead
stop on the top of the hill, but more importantly,
your body needs to come back to a normal
rhythm which can be accomplished by running
over the top and further. You will find your
heartbeat, breathing, and leg stride becomes
smoother when you push a little longer in the
flat on the top of the hill. Running over the top
allows you to recover and get back to your
normal pace more rapidly than coming to
an almost complete stop and then starting
running again. This becomes more of a
mental challenge, because your first feeling
when you hit the top of the hill is "I made it,
now I can relax."
You will find that most coaches condition
their athletes at the end of each interval of a
track workout to go into a jog rather than a
walk. This gets the body back to that regular
rhythm faster and the athlete is ready to start
another interval.
The reason for not putting a water stop at the
bottom of a hill is that you don’t want to be
slowing down going into a hill and sometimes,
when pushing on a hill climb, that same water
tends to want to come back out again! K

Running for Your Life
Volunteers and Orange
A
nd so it happens that I am reflecting in
this issue. Being injured has led me to
reflect, since I went from one injury right into
another and can't run. Does this sort of thing
come with age? I don't even want to go there.
You are reading one of my last articles in this
newsletter because I am moving out of state.
It's hard to believe it is over so soon, the
writing and running with JSRC. Moving south
was not my idea (more on this later).
Running, as we all know, is a solitary sport.
We can pull on the shoes, slip into the clothes
and take off all alone with nothing but our
thoughts on a trail of our choosing. It's wonderful therapy. It is a good way to get centered and
shake off the accumulated barnacles of life. Some
of my favorite runs were all alone at Holmdel,
with the vibrant green of the grassy bowl, the
deep blue sky, and the forest of trees as my
company. Some of my favorite runs were on
the boardwalk Thursday nights, in the company
of JSRC regulars, many of whom became friends.
These two things are near the top of my list of
what I'm going to miss when I move south.
Getting to know other Club members and
volunteering at races has been a very rewarding
experience. I know people who are so dedicated
to the sport that they give up their free time to
work races on their day off. I know people who
volunteer time from their already hectic life to
serve as race directors or volunteer coordinators.
There is a family that brings not one, but two
cars to races to haul all the necessary equipment,
people who serve on the board, spend their
free time balancing the checking account, editing
the newsletter and keeping the web page up to
date. I am proud to be part of the JSRC team
and know these people as individuals.
So, writing about volunteers and a Club whose
team color is orange is a perfect lead in to my
move south. I am moving to Tennessee, which,
by the way, is the state of my birth. This does
not mean, however, that I know any more about
country music than you. Nor does it mean I
will own a gun, can shoot a gun, drink moonshine, have varmints living underneath the
house, own a home that is on wheels, have a
Rebel flag in my possession, think much about
the Civil War (except for the fact that my
relatives fought with the Union), have any
cousins that are married to each other (let
alone siblings), chew tobacco, drive a tractor, go
barefoot, or plant crops. (Did I leave anything
out? I'm sure I did, but I do have one more
article to write next month.) I am moving to
Strawberry Plains, a small place just outside of
Knoxville, Tennessee, which by the way, is the
home of the VOLUNTEERS. As we say down
there, “Go Big Orange!”
See you running! I hope!K

In the News
Pat’s Run
Problem Drinking
Pat Tillman Memorial 4.2 Miler
Last month, a certain health organization created a flurry of emails about how much water
is safe for runners on the road to drink. The
recently released study stirred up a bit of controversy since athletes have been told for years
to gulp lots of water to avoid dehydration, and
this study stated perhaps runners were drinking too much. The study, published in the
New England Journal of Medicine, found that
13% of 488 competitors at the 2002 Boston
Marathon drank so much fluid that they
developed hyponatremia, a life-threatening
condition in which blood salt levels plummet.
This study did not cover runners who weren't
running marathons.
Now that we have warmer weather, weekendwarrior runners who don't have the luxury of
water stops will still need to worry about
dehydration and the problems it can cause,
such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke.
According to the American Council on
Exercise (www.acefitness.org), drinking plain
water is preferable to sports drinks. For
moderate workouts of 60 minutes or less,
runners should drink about 8 ounces of water
20 to 30 minutes prior to the workout, 4 to 8
ounces every 10 to 15 minutes during the
exercise session, and another 8 ounces
within thirty minutes of finishing the workout.
It shows that most runners actually require
slightly less water than they had previously
been drinking. K
Volunteers Needed
George Sheehan Classic
We need always need volunteers for water
stops, transition areas and course marshals.
If you’re not running, why not volunteer and
celebrate with the champions?
It’s not too early to start thinking about volunteering for other upcoming races this season.
Remember, all of our races support worthy
causes. To volunteer or for more info, contact
Barbara Hay at hayseeds@att.net.K
The JSRC Lapel Pin is a wonderful way to
show you are a member in good
standing. Volunteer
for three (3) events
and it becomes yours!

Pat’s Run Runners. Tim Mahoney of Belmar and Pat Ford of Neptune City stop to admire the JSRC banner at Pat's Run.
T
hey pushed babies in strollers, wore
beat-up shoes, had gray hair or no hair,
carried packs, raced, ran, walked, struggled
and finished. Organizers kept the April 16th
race simple, calling it Pat’s Run, and it didn’t
matter whether participants had ever met the
former Arizona State and Cardinals defender;
they talked about Pat Tillman as though they
knew him on a first-name basis. Motivated
by the September 11th terrorist attacks, the
professional football player joined the military
and walked away from a $3.6 multimilliondollar NFL career with the Arizona Cardinals.
But he gave up much more than that. On
April 22, 2004, he was killed in an ambush
on a hillside in Afghanistan while serving as
part of the 75th Ranger Regiment, an elite
special-operations force of the United States
Army. One month after his death, the Army
said he was probably killed by “friendly fire,”
or gunfire from his own unit.
Tim Mahoney of Belmar and Pat Ford of
Neptune City, along with five of their buddies,
ventured to Tempe, Arizona, to participate
in this first annual Pat’s Run. Held in Pat
Tillman’s memory, Pat’s Run is 4.2-mile race
that attracted 5,578 participants. The race
ended at the 42-yard line inside Sun Devil
Stadium. This race raised an estimated
$100,000 for the Pat Tillman Foundation, and
provided another chance for an American hero
to be remembered.
Keith Walters, a reserve Army lieutenant
from Scottsdale, was the men’s winner with
a time of 21:02. Ms. Crate, an Arizona State
cross-country runner from Ontario, Canada,
was the women’s winner at 24:13. JSRC was
well represented by members Mike Bair,
Tim Mahoney and Pat Ford. In fact, Mike
Bair ran 24:56 for 35th place overall. Pat Ford
and Tim Mahoney both finished under 29:52.

Foundation, visit www.pattillmanfoundation.org.
There are tentative plans to hold the second
annual Pat’s Run in Tempe, Arizona, on April
15, 2006, an event which could draw as many
as 10,000 people. But the real victory was in
the diverse field, Pat's Run was for everyone.K

motivating, a great way to meet fellow

months. All paces are welcome at each
Club Run.

Joy of Running
Coach John with Coach Elaine
Motivating Yourself to Run
“I just do not feel like running today.” I wish I
had a cheeseburger for every time I heard that
from a fellow runner. Most runners have those
days (and sometimes weeks or even months)
when we find it hard to get motivated to run.
How can we overcome it?
First, remember the reasons why you are
running—see our April article. Your running
goals should be important to you. If you really
want to achieve those goals, you will gain
the motivation to keep focused on your
running. On any given day, you will always be
able to come up with plenty of excuses not
to run. Your key to success here is to overcome
them in advance. Here are some common
ones with our suggestions:
No Time. Make at least one of your weekly
runs “an appointment or other commitment”
just as if you were taking a class or had a
proctologist’s appointment. You may want to
sign up for a running class with Coach John
and Coach Elaine or make a point to attend
one of JSRC’s weekly group runs. Remember
that keeping yourself fit and healthy should
be a high priority for you, so there is always
time for that.
No Place Safe to Run. Lay out several
training courses, both near home and near
work. This gives you latitude in where you can
run. Carry a set of running clothes and shoes
with you. Some runners appear to have their
entire running wardrobe in the backseat of
their Saturn Ions. If you have your running
gear with you, you can stop at a park or other
prime running location on your way home.
It’s Lonely. Have some running buddies. You
will likely find suitable training partners if you
take a class or attend a group run. Plan to meet
once each week with your running partners. If
you are not able to meet, help make each other
accountable with e-mail or phone messages.
My workout is boring. Learn to vary your
workouts. You will benefit more with variation
than by running the same 5 mile loop four
times a week. We will discuss this in a
“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the
fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It
knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn’t
matter whether you’re a lion or a gazelle—when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.” —Anonymous
future article, as it is a critical part of an effective
training program and helps to avoid injuries.
I’m tired. Have a light energy snack, such as a
banana and water or sports drink. You may
simply just need some fuel. Put on your running clothes and do your warm-up and stretching routine. You will see your energy level and
mind set improve. As soon as you take a few
steps, the blood will be flowing. After every run,
we are always glad we went out and did it.
Next month, we will discuss some ideas to make
your training runs more interesting and more
beneficial. In the meantime, no excuses—get
motivated and get your run in.
I am trying to cut back on the cheeseburgers! K

The Race Day Warm-up
Is the warm-up the most important part of race day? The answer is a resounding YES! The reasons are
many, but due to length of article and intelligence constraints I will only focus on two of them here.
The second most important reason for a proper warm-up is without one you will be left at the starting
line with a body full of cold and tight muscles that just aren't ready for a 100% effort. At the sound of
the gun you should be ready to let loose without fear, but enough of that actual running stuff.
The main reason it’s important is image. While you may not be able to sprint an entire 5k or 5 mile you
can easily stride out 50 - 100 yards with the best of them. You feel and look pretty darn good doing
this in front of the spectators. For 20 seconds you feel like a thoroughbred. You're racing and they're
not, so what do they know?! You can see the admiration in their eyes as you lightly step out with exaggerated knee lift and prance your way down the street. While the other runners may know you, who
cares! They will only see you for a few seconds during the race and have their own pain with which to
deal. Take your moment of glory and warm-up for the fans. K

Summer
Reminders
With the summer season and summer residents showing up in droves this month, it’s time
to review safe running tips to keep you from getting hurt this summer.
• DON'T WEAR HEADSETS. With headsets, you lose the use of an important sense:
your hearing. Use your ears to be aware of your surroundings.
• Run against traffic so you can observe approaching automobiles.
• Stay alert. Be aware of what’s going on around you.
• Carry a cell phone or change for a phone call. Know the locations of call boxes
and telephones along your regular routes.
• Trust your intuition. React on your intuition to avoid persons or situations
if you’re unsure. If your gut tells you a situation is not “right,” it isn’t.
• Alter or vary your running route pattern; run in familiar areas. In unfamiliar areas, or while traveling, contact a local RRCA club or running store. Know locations of open businesses or stores.
• Run with a partner or run with a dog.
• Write down or leave word about your direction. Tell friends and family of your routes.
• Run clear of parked cars or bushes and avoid unpopulated areas, deserted streets,
overgrown trails, and unlit areas at night.
• Carry identification or write your name, phone number, and blood type on the inside
sole of your running shoe. Include medical information. Don't wear jewelry.
• Ignore verbal harassment. Use discretion in acknowledging strangers. Look directly
at others and be observant, but keep your distance and keep moving.
• Wear reflective material when running before dawn or after dark.
• Practice memorizing license tags or identifying characteristics of strangers.
• Carry a noisemaker and/or OC (pepper) spray. Get training in self-defense & the use of OC.
• CALL POLICE IMMEDIATELY if something happens to you or someone else, or if you notice
anyone out of the ordinary. It is important to report incidents immediately.
