Promotion Commotion By Will Wright

Hodgkin's lymphoma, leukemia,

uterus, liver, brain, kidney,

myeloma, bladder, cervix, and

stomach. For men they are lung,

prostate, colon & rectum,

pancreas, liver, leukemia,

esophagus, bladder, non-

Hodgkin lymphoma, kidney,

brain, stomach, skin, oral cavity

& pharynx, and larynx.

Here are a few comments

concerning the major cancers

and what we can do to dodge

them:

Lung - smoking dwarfs all other

causes, along with resulting

passive smoke and genetic

disposition. Death from this type

cancer is declining due to the

reduction in smoking that

typically goes along with

exercise.

Breast - obesity is now accepted

as an increasing risk factor.

Physical activity probably

reduces the risk of breast cancer.

Prostate - While nothing is

firmly established, diet seems to

have a significant impact on this

cancer. Studies indicate that

older men who regularly engage

in vigorous activities like

jogging or brisk walking had a

70% lower risk of this cancer

being lethal.

Colon & Rectum - diets rich in

fiber, grains, fruits and

vegetables are protective. Being

overweight or obese is clearly

associated with this cancer; thus

staying active can lower your

risk.

Pancreas - the only consistent

risk factors are age and tobacco,

but more recent studies have

found obesity raises the risk by

28%. Again, staying active to

keep weight down reduces the

risk.

Esophagus - The risk of

esophageal cancers goes up with

increasing body weight. A diet

rich in fruits and vegetables

seems to protect the esophagus.

In addition to diet and exercise,

screening tests are recommended

to aid in early detection.

Mammograms and self exams, a

fecal occult blood test, flexible

sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, a

digital rectal exam and PSA test,

and a pap test and pelvic exam

should be scheduled regularly

based on age and genetics.

Give priority to good eating and

exercise as aids to good health

and a longer life. Throw in some

multivitamins and checkups and

you will be looking for those

races with 75 and 80 year age

groups!

Speaking of health, 2011 was a

most trying year for me. While I

feel ok and am active, my annual

blood work revealed the

production of a "rogue" protein

and a reduced hemoglobin count.

My internist suggested I see an

oncologist last October; after

many tests I have been diagnosed

with a slow growing, rare,

incurable blood cancer called

Waldenstrom

Macroglobulinemia.

CANCER –

LOWER YOUR RISK NOW!

I have lost several friends to

cancer and have many others in

remission from the dreaded

disease. Cancer isn't inevitable

but the older we get, the more

likely it seems to occur. If you

have reached the age of 40, your

odds of getting some form of

cancer increase; current statistics

indicate one out of every two

men and one out of every three

women will be diagnosed with a

potential killer. Last year

571,950 cancer deaths occurred

in the US. You can't keep from

getting older but you can change

your lifestyle to reduce the risk

of developing many kinds of

cancer. An old adage came to

mind: "a fence at the top of the

cliff is far better than an

ambulance at the bottom of it."

In other words, let's try to

prevent it from happening.

In a recent health newsletter I

was interested in reading about

which cancers are most

common, which are most

deadly, and what we can do to

lower our risk. It was no surprise

to read that diet, weight, and

exercise are high on the list of

those things we need to manage

properly in our everyday living

to minimize the chance of

getting cancer. Those of us who

run and walk already practice a

more healthy lifestyle than our

non-exercising peers and are on

the right track for a longer life

and good health.

Leading cancer killers for

women in order from worst to

least are lung, breast, colon &

rectum, pancreas, ovary, non-

T-Shirt Quilts

So many people have dresser

drawers overflowing with t-shirts saved

from high school, college, playing

sports, going to concerts, races run,

graduation, vacations, political and

business occasions but don't know what

to do with them now. A memorable fix

to this problem is to have a keepsake

quilt made that will record these special

moments for generations to come; not

to mention the joy you will get from

remembering each shirt's special time.

I made my first t-shirt quilt

from running shirts that a wife sneaked

from her husband‟s prized stash. I was

so afraid he would come after me but

he loved it! He said it was the best

Christmas present she ever gave him.

Later, I made three quilts from Mary

Taylor's shirts. Many of you may

remember her from her 30+ years of

Azalea Trail Run races as well as other

races. She loved her quilts so much

that when she was sick she asked her

daughters to please use them as her

casket blanket because it was such a

happy part of her life. And they did.

This touched my heart.

From the first t-shirt quilt I

made about 25 years ago followed by

many more t-shirt quilts for loved ones

memorials, race car drivers, Harley and

Honda lovers, fish shirts and many

more; I was HOOKED with the love of

helping people save happy memories. I

consider it a huge honor to be entrusted

with this job. Please contact to design

your special quilt. We can decide on

your border color, hand tie or machine

quilting, cotton or flannel backing, etc.

to preserve your memories.

Running quotes to keep in mind when you need a little motivation or inspiration to keep

running. Post one on the fridge, your mirror, your computer or the dash board of your car

for a reminder of why you run.

"Every day is a good day when you run." -- Kevin Nelson

"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a

thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to

self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement." -- Steve Prefontaine

"I always loved running...it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power.

You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it,

seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs."

-Jesse Owens

"The will to win means nothing without the will to prepare."

-Juma Ikangaa, 1989 NYC Marathon winner

"In running, it doesn't matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You

can say, 'I have finished.' There is a lot of satisfaction in that."

-Fred Lebow, New York City Marathon co-founder

"Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it."

--OprahWinfrey

"Racing teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we

could go. It helps us to find out what we are made of. This is what we do. This is what it's all

about." -- PattiSue Plumer, U.S. Olympian

"Believe that you can run farther or faster. Believe that you're young enough, old enough, strong

enough, and so on to accomplish everything you want to do. Don't let worn-out beliefs stop you

from moving beyond yourself." -- John Bingham

"Whether you believe you can or believe you can't, you're probably right.” -- Henry Ford

"Remember the feeling you get from a good run is far better than the feeling you get from sitting

around wishing you were running." -- Sarah Condor

"Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than

yourself." -- William Faulkner

"Keep varying the program. Your body will tell you what to do." -- Joan Benoit Samuelson

February 2012 Page 6

"Running long and hard is an ideal antidepressant, since it's hard to run and feel sorry for

yourself at the same time. Also, there are those hours of clear headedness that follow a long run."

-Monte Davis

"I had as many doubts as anyone else. Standing on the starting line, we're all cowards."

-Alberto Salazar, three-time winner of the NYC marathon

"What distinguishes those of us at the starting line from those of us on the couch is that we learn

through running to take what the days gives us, what our body will allow us, and what our will

can tolerate." -- Jimmy Carter

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it you will land among the stars." -- -Les Brown

"Everyone who has run knows that it‟s most important value is in removing tension and allowing

a release from whatever other cares the day may bring." -- Jimmy Carter

"Anybody can be a runner. We were meant to move. We were meant to run. It's the easiest

sport." -- Bill Rodgers

"Mental will is a muscle that needs exercise, just like the muscles of the body."

-Lynn Jennings

"We may train or peak for a certain race, but running is a lifetime sport."

-Alberto Salazar

"There's no such thing as bad weather, just soft people." -- Bill Bowerman

"If you want to become the best runner you can be, start now. Don't spend the rest of your life

wondering if you can do it." -- -Priscilla Welch

"To get to the finish line, you'll have to try lots of different paths." -- - Amby Burfoot

"He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life."

- Muhammad Ali

"To know you are one with what you are doing, to know that you are a complete athlete, begins

with believing you are a runner." -- George Sheehan

"I often hear someone say I'm not a real runner. We are all runners, some just run faster than

others. I never met a fake runner." -- Bart Yasso

"We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of

determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort." -- Jesse Owens

races every year.

Continued from page 3…………….

You can check it out on the internet if

you want to learn more, but deadly

symptoms have resulted on average

anywhere from 5 to 20 years after

diagnosis. Since higher protein and

anemia are all that have been detected

thus far, I am just watching it with

blood checks every 3 months. My first

3-month check was Jan. 20, of this

year, and the protein had almost

doubled. My doctor wanted to start

me on a drug but I wanted to go

another 3 months of waiting and

watching since I did not have any bad

symptoms. As the protein increases,

my blood will thicken and can lead to

vision problems, attacks on kidneys,

liver, and energy. I am reading more

about it on the internet and may have

had the disease for 6 to 10 years

already. I will get another check on

April 27 and go from there. I am

trusting God for the 20 year span and

could die with it and not from it. I

believe sincerely that all my running

has given me some protection; my

short term goal is to be running in the

75 -99 age group later this year! I

would appreciate your prayers and

any knowledge you might have of this

rare malady.

Frequent Runner Number By Peggy Olive

Do you participate in two of more local races produced by the Port City Pacers or Little

Red Hen? Do you get writer‟s cramp when filling out applications for friends, family, and

multiple races? Want to save time when registering for a race? Do you want to reduce the

possibility of your name being skipped when the Grand Prix or Corporate Cup points are being

assigned? Have you ever noticed that your penmanship worsens as the closing of day of race

registration nears?

Apply for a Frequent Runner Number (FRN). It‟s FREE. The mission of the FRN is to

reduce errors and save time. Once you have been assigned your unique FRN, all you will need

to do when registering for a race is fill in your last and first names, write your FRN on the

address line, mark your event, and sign the waiver. Yes, of course, you will still need to pay the

race entry fees. Give it a try. If you don‟t want an FRN, or if you forget your FRN, no harm –

no foul – you can still fill in all the info as usual.
