Promotion Commotion By Will Wright

WrWilWWright

Wright

take? We are blessed with good

weather for the most part, and

the clothing, footwear, watches,

and various monitors available

represent the latest technology.

So what are we waiting for?

Robert Frost wrote about "a road

less traveled;" there is no place

in our daily planner for the

"exercise not taken!"

Second, these young

people are students getting an

education for life. Running and

walking are much more than a

sport or goal; together they serve

as a teacher, a social system, and

a provider of entertainment as

well. The curriculum begins with

courses in anatomy, physiology,

and medicine. We learn about

ourselves and such things as

cardiovascular endurance,

anaerobic threshold, oxygen

debt, target heart rate, plantar

faciitis, tendinitis, and pronation,

just to name a few. Schooling

continues in the principles of

training, recovery, rest,

stretching, tapering, pacing,

peaking, upper body strength,

and more. We learn about diet,

nutrition, carbo loading,

electrolyte replacement, and

hydration. We gain a better

understanding of goal setting,

self motivation, stress, failure,

visualization, rewards. There are

important lessons in planning,

time management, conflict

resolution, meeting challenges.

We don't have to be taught to

party after the race - that comes

naturally! And when you can

take a trip to another part of the

world, it is like icing on the cake.

Try it; you will like it.

Third, these runners are

team players. They each have

different abilities and they want

to do their best to help the team

win. They are all winners. The

first level of winning is

competing and completing what

they set out to do. By finishing

they have beaten everyone who

started but dropped out early, as

well as those who had not started

and never would. The second

level of winning is improving.

Going faster and going longer

doesn't require beating anyone

else, only a time or a distance.

The third and highest level of

winning is continuing after the

improvement stops as it surely

will if you run enough years.

Slower and shorter running still

beats no running at all. Winners

never quit; quitters never win.

This old slogan will mean much

more as one gets older. Compete

with yourself. Try for your own

best times and run at your own

best pace. That way no one can

beat you but yourself.

Fourth, these models

displayed the latest in clothing

and shoes that would provide

cooler weather comfort and

protection. From wind-blocking

to breathable to wicking to

reflective accents to pockets to

head-accessory anchors to water

resistance to thumbholes to

freedom of movement to comfort

to layering to standard shoes to

minimal constructed shoes to

colorful.....you name it and we

saw it! Check the weather, dress

accordingly, get out the door,

have fun, and bring health care

reform to a personal level. Do it

with your feet, not just your fork!

MORE MILES

WITH SMILES

The promotion ad in the

October Pace Letter appeared as

follows: " Runner's Runway, a

fall fashion show presented by

"Uncle Joe" & McCoy Outdoor

and the Port City Pacers,

Thursday, October 27, 6:00 PM

at McCoy Outdoor. Come see

the latest trends in apparel,

shoes, & gadgets. Live models!

Refreshments will be served".

While disappointed with

attendance, the folks that did

attend were not disappointed in

what they saw and learned. Here

are some of the thoughts that

passed through my mind as Joe

described the apparel worn by

our vibrant young models.

First were the models

themselves: Zachary Sims, 12th

grade; Maggie Ferguson, 12th

grade; Lizzie Castillo, 9th grade;

Alice Phillips, 9th grade; and

Dan Drew, 12th grade. All are

members of St. Paul's Episcopal

cross country team and

exhibited a picture of youth,

health, and the future of our

sport. Their example caught my

eye as it might any

runner/walker who is keenly

aware of the benefits of a

regular exercise program. No

obesity or inactivity here! With

some 30 % of American adults

reporting no physical activity at

all, it is an indictment against

the men and women of our

society who know better, who

know the benefits of regular

exercise, who desire to be

healthy and live longer lives, yet

do nothing about it! What will it

COLD WEATHER

RUNNING

TIPS

Always follow the RRCA General Safety Guidelines

Leave the headphones at home. Your ears may help you avoid dangers your

eyes cannot see. Wet, wintery conditions may weaken tree limbs causing

them to fall. Hearing the crack before the fall may be the difference between

avoiding a falling branch or being tackled by a dead limb.

Avoid running on the roads in snowy conditions. Drivers have a decreased

ability to maneuver and stop.

Winter means fewer daylight hours. Wear bright-colored, reflective clothing

or a reflective vest so you are noticeable to area traffic. For added visibility,

wear a lightweight headlamp or flashing light.

Wear layers of clothing that will help you maintain your core body

temperature during the run but will keep you warm during warm-up and

cool-down phases.

Consider wearing traction devices on your shoes if sidewalks, trails or roads

have snow or ice cover.

If you drive to a running trail or route, leave a change of dry cloths and a

blanket in the car for emergency situations.

Stay alert and aware of your surroundings and the weather conditions.

Oncoming storms can quickly drop the temperature putting you at risk for

frostbite or hypothermia if you are caught wearing the wrong clothes.

Know where to find shelter on your route if the weather gets really bad.

Do not ignore shivering. It is an important first sign that the body is losing

heat, and you may be in danger of hypothermia.


SENIOR BOWL WINNING SENIORS

Shown are Bill Bowman, 68, Age Group Third; Will

Wright, 74, Age Group Second; David Jeffrey, 69,

Grand Masters Second. Bill is from Birmingham and

works for Doster Construction Company as a

Construction Manager for RSA on the complete

remodeling of the 34 story RSA BankTrust building

(formerly Am South tower-built in 1966) and the

home of the Moon Pie drop on New Year’s Eve. He is

living in Fairhope and has been enjoying the fine runs

in the Mobile and Baldwin County areas for a number

of months now. Since the project is scheduled to be

completed in early 2012, he has only a few more

months left to run with some of the best folks in the

country. Bill has enjoyed making new friends and

speaks highly of the races, the runners, and the race

management. Speak to Bill when you get a chance

and look for him if you run in the Birmingham area.

David Dutton, race director for the 2011 Hurricane

Run and Amber Ramsey with Crowder Gulf delivered

a $2500 check to Brad Cox for the Dauphin Island Fire

and Rescue. A $500 check was also given to Denise

Keaton for the Dauphin Island Sea Lab. Pictured

above: Brad Cox and David Dutton.


December 1, 2011

Ms. Marykara Imwalle

Port City Pacers

P O Box 6427

Mobile, AL 3660

Dear Ms. Imwalle:

On behalf of the board and staff of Bay Area Food Bank, I would like to thank the Port City

Pacers for the generous donation of 904 pounds of food from your fall food drive. This food will

help to feed numerous families and individuals throughout the holiday season. Your donation

will be used in part to support the food bank’s various nutrition programs and provide food

through our network of 590 partner agencies to help those struggling with hunger along the

Central Gulf Coast.

Last year, Bay Area Food Bank distributed over 15 million pounds of food throughout our 24-

county service area. The recent economic downturn has resulted in a 30% increase in requests

for food assistance. It has also impacted the availability of food and the associated costs to

secure it. This year, we plan to distribute 14 million pounds to help meet the increased needs.

Your generosity will help us accomplish that goal.

Bay Area Food Bank is a primary source in disaster relief operations being a first responder in

emergency disaster relief situations such as the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, the recent

tornadoes in north Alabama and hurricanes.

Needed more than ever, the continuing support from the Port City Pacers is deeply appreciated.

To find out more about Bay Area Food Bank’s efforts and to sign up on our email list, please go

Karla Gardner

Corporate Cup

schedule in many years. There were 22 teams out of 30

having participants in the event for a total of 88

runners. Six state records were set for the distance, half

being Corporate Cup runners. It would be great to have

every team participate in this November test of

endurance!

Results of the Jingle Bell 5K have not been

finalized at this writing; standings below are based on

the first eight races where we have averaged 153

runners per race. Thank you for your great

participation. It has been a good year and we will

resume with the Panther Pride 5K in January, 2012.

Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season

STATE RECORDS SET

By Will Wright

Several are on a roll setting state records: Melanie Moore,

age 59, set records in the Saraland 8K (34:23), BayFest 5K

(21:21), and the Senior Bowl Charity Run 10K (43:00).

David Jeffrey captured a 10K record (41:33) for age 69 at

the Senior Bowl 10K and went to a 15K race in Huntsville

for 1:05:27 record there. Other records in the Saraland 8K

were Jon Bowie, age 38 (26:27); Amy Huff, age 40

(31:06); and Luise Mitchell, age 75 (52:37). Congrats to all.

State records continue to fall as six were set in the recent

Turkey 10 Miler. Greer Lauber set her first record at age 11

with a 1:31:54; others included Elinor Carter, age 51,

1:12:33, Melanie Moore, 60, 1:12:15, Courtney Cooper, 23,

1:05:42; John Brigham, 25, 51:34; and David Jeffrey, 69,

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.
