Taconic Running Life MARCH, 1991 MANY ARE COLD, BUT FEW ARE FROZEN by: MelaniG Benvenue The "Freezer Fives" didn't exactly live up to their name. The 5K race on 2/10 was he 1d in mild weather, and although the 5 Miler on 2/2k saw the t e m p s i n t h e 1 o w 20s, the absence of snow left the back r o a d c 1 e a r , a n d fortunately there were no last-minute course changes, so both races were very accurate. Paul Fendler won the 5K and Tommy Neeson took the 5-miler after a brief battle with Lou Guerra, w h i c h s a w T o m m y p u l l away from Lou and the rest of the pack r i g h t a f t e r t h e o n e - m i l e m a r k .

Dear TRRC,

As I returned from ray run today I received an unexpectedpresent. Santa TRRC had delivered a beautiful silver platterwith my name engraved as 1990 Taconic Road Runner of theY e a r .

Well, I was ouite surprised considering that I had beentold that my award fell overboard 3 mos. earlier since I wasunable to attend the TRRC Dinner Dance award ceremony.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank themembers of Taconic who were responsible for choosing rae asRunner of the Year. It was botn a great surprise and honorto receive the award. It was also a great way to celebrate ray10th year o f runn ing.

I appreciate all of the encouragement and support bothmy family and I have received since Becoming a Taconicm e m b e r . T h a n k s a l s o t o J o h n H a l l i n a n a n d t o h i s f e l l o wofficers for the SUPER job they have done for the club. Iwish Ed McLaughlin and the newly elected officers the best ofl u c k f o r t h e f u t u r e o f T R R C .

Many thanks again.

S i n c e r e l y,

Mary Fane l l i - Lund

Finda gentle grade of up to a half-mile in length and do repeated runs, working hardon your ascent and jogging back down. Make sure you jog a couple of miles as awarm-up and cool down, and be sure to stretch well, concentrating on the hamstringsa n d h i p fl e x o r s .

Among the many benefits of hill training is that it forces you to call upon manymuscle groups, thereby sharing the energy load. Your buttocks, abdomen, hips,a r m s a n d s h o u l d e r s a l l b e c o m e a c t i v a t e d , w o r k i n g m o r e a s p a r t n e r s w i t h y o u r l e g s ,as opposed to the legs-only gait of the jogger's shuffle.

The added strength and total body use can be crucial to racing success. In five-mile and lOK type events, it wil l forestall the inhibiting lactic acid buildupin the leg musc les . And in marathons, i t w i l l s low the dep le t ion o f energy sourcest h a t c a u s e s r u n n e r s t o " h i t t h e w a l l . "

"The whole idea is muscle teamwork, to achieve a synchrony with the arms and legsthat's really beautiful," says Martin. "If you've trained on hills, you know you'vebeen to the promised land."
