an active club, and a committed city< 2011 Missoula Marathon went off
without a hitch. Now there are things that we need to improve on and believe
me, we will. But overall, the comments and emails have all been positive and
full of praise for our event.
I want to say thank you to the club for stepping up in a year of
transition, working hard and putting on the best Missoula Marathon yet. I
still sit here amazed by the work of dedicated RWM members to put on an
event that makes the club, city, and state proud!
In September we will have multiple pages dedicated to the Missoula
Marathon<. Everything from a thank you to our sponsors, to the final
numbers of the 2011 event. Thank you for another great event and
congratulations to all members for putting on one of the best races in the
country! Thanks.
Happy Running

Missoula Marathon Back of the Pack Cheerleaders The Back of the Pack participated in many aspects of the Missoula Marathon,
both as participants and volunteers. One small group of enthusiastic
volunteers called themselves the BOP Cheerleaders. The Cheerleaders set up
in the finish area as the 5:30 marathoners were coming in. We had fresh
snacks, noisemakers, our signature bright green BOP bandannas, and a high
degree of enthusiasm. We cheered until the last finishers crossed the line.
Tracy Holland, lead cheerleader, coordinated a group consisting of
Robin Walker, Robin Wilton, Connie Chestnutt, Nadine Goeddel, Darlene
McLuskie, Bruce Randall (after he finished his own half), and yours truly.
~Pam Gardiner, Leader of the Back
Marathon Angel This is about the privilege I had of having an Angel here on earth with me
during The Missoula Marathon.
Shortly after the marathon started I was having a terrible time with
nausea, stomach cramps, etc. Carol stayed with me the entire marathon,
giving up her chance for a better finish time. We finished with our arms
around each other.
I've never known the amount of encouragement, kindness,
compassion & love Carol gave me. I thank you ever so much & love you for
making my first marathon such a memorable experience. GOD BLESS YOU
CAROL DRAKE YOU ROCK!!!!!

Race/Event Reports Greetings from your Chancellor of Libations:
July was a busy month for Beer Runs, and a lot of fun. We started the month
out with the first ever Missoula Marathon Beer Run (MMBR), when about 200
folks turned up at the Badlander for a quick run around town and a few
beverages. When we first started planning the MMBR we had no idea who
would show up for a Beer Run the Friday before a Sunday Marathon, but we
quickly learned that, in fact, a bunch of folks enjoy our goofy little event.
Before we started off from the Badlander I had the folks raise their
hands to show if they were from the greater Missoula area or from out of
town, and a bit over half identified themselves as local. While there were a
bunch of our ‚usual suspects‛ a great number of the locals were new to Beer

Running, so it was fun to meet them and, hopefully, at least some of them will
join us in the future for our normally scheduled events. But the big treat for
me was getting to meet some folks from around the country and a couple
folks were there from Europe, so we are now an internationally known event.
In the interest of meeting the taper needs of the various runners we
laid out three loops, three, four and five miles. The entire group started out
with a quick trip through Greenough Park, while the three milers worked
their way back to the Badlander, the four and five milers continued the tour of
town with a loop through the U of M campus and across the oval before
heading back to the final meeting place.
The groups met back up for some quality rehydration, and a bit of
socialization, if you know what I mean, and I think you do. I got to meet some
folks from Nebraska, Florida, Nevada, Michigan, Georgia and a few states I
can’t remember, as well as The Netherlands and Sweden. So it was a very
diverse night for me. The best part of the event was seeing these people again
Saturday at the Expo and, of course, as the passed the finish line on Sunday. It
was also a treat having Jeff Galloway turn up for our Beer Run, and was nice
getting a chance to talk with him for a minute or two.
I really hope we are invited to host one of these again for the 2012
Missoula Marathon, in fact I have a marketing plan for the upcoming
marathon: ‚Come for the Beer Run, Stay for the Marathon.‛
I would also like to thank everyone that helped out with this year’s MMBR
either by helping pull the event together, leading a group or just by showing
up and having fun.
A couple nights ago we had our usual July Beer Run, but this one
was a bit special in its own right, yep it was the first anniversary of the Beer
Run, so we went back to where it all started, The Silver Dollar Bar, and we ran
the same route we did a year ago, up and around Water Works Hill. It wasn’t
hard to start thinking about the runs over the past year, and how much fun
I’ve managed to have and that got me to thinking about the friends I’ve met
through Beer Runs, people that I may have met a time or two, or run with on
occasion, but would not have gotten to know nearly as well.
While we were filing back into the Dollar after the run one of the
patrons told me that she was amazed that a bunch of runners would be
hanging out in a bar, of course I told her that many of us run so we can earn
our beer. She seemed to like my answer; at least she claimed to understand.
Ok, enough of the sentimental stuff, this month we will lead our
assault from the Tamarack Brewery, 231 W. Front Street at 6:00 on
Wednesday, August 31. One other thing about Tamarack, I did a bit of
advance scouting a few weeks ago, and the food was worth the trip. For those
of you that are still sore, or worn out from running up Water Works, I promise
this run will be as flat as possible in Missoula. So mark it on your calendar,
bring a friend or two and join us. Remember my Beer Run motto: I’d love it if
you made it for the run and the beer, but if you can’t make the run, at least
show up and join us for the beer.
~Pat Cross
View From The Back There is a group of runners crossing the Higgins Street Bridge. It is early
February, the temperature is +10, the wind is blowing and the road is icy. I am
thinking, ‘What the h<. are those people doing. Have they lost their mind?’
A gust of wind brings me back to reality and I realize I am one of those
runners.
I never ran much before January, usually resorted to the elliptical or
a bicycle. Then my wife and I went to a Jeff Galloway talk at the Wilma.
Afterward, on the way home we thought a marathon might actually be
possible using Jeff’s methods. We joined the training class and the view from
the Back of the Pack began.

My ego was broken a little bit when I ended in the slowest group. I
thought I was faster. What I did not realize was those first training classes was
the start of what turned out to be six great, and sometimes grueling, months. I
met some wonderful people with whom I formed some great friendships.
We started with a three-mile run. By the time I had gone a half mile, I
could not breathe, my legs were aching, and I was convinced there was no way
I could do a marathon. Then to look at the scheduled it seemed like an
impossible task. However, with the help and support of Pam, John and the
training class, I was soon doing five, ten, thirteen and more miles.
I was never able to do the marathon due to an ankle injury. I did walk
some of the course, cheered on my fellow BOPers, and envied them some. I
thought about all the good times, the cold runs on Sunday mornings, the icy
trails, and the struggles we endured. My ego will never be broken again. I am
proud to say I belong to the Back of the Pack. It has been a great experience and
I thank all of my fellow BOPers for the great times.

Articles 26.2 How It Happened As I sit here, completely in shock to be holding a 26.2 metal in my hands, I
wonder how I got across that finish line.
A few years ago, I was facing a time of change in my life and I picked
up the phone to call a friend to ask if she would be willing to train and run a 5k
with me. Neither of us had been or were currently runners. She said, ‚I do not
run‛, and let me know that she would not be willing to join me in this new
interest. I searched online and found a program that promised to take me from
a non-runner to someone able to cross a 5k finish line in 9 weeks, and I reached
success. I continued to run and completed a couple of other 5ks and an 8k that
season. Winter, life, non-commitment allowed me to return to the couch.
The next spring, I had a relentless desire to run. I began the program
again and was successful in reaching a 5k distance. I decided to call my friend
again to see if she would now be interested. My friend worked out often,
spinning classes, elliptical, body sculpting classes, etc. She was an athlete and I
couldn’t understand why she doubted her ability to run.
I ran a couple of 5ks and signed up to start the Missoula Marathon
Training program, committing to the half. My friend would show up at the
finish line of the local races I entered and continued to be a strong support
system. I continued to run and it gave me strength, pride, peace, and joy. I felt
at home and in love with what I was doing.
One day, my friend called to say she had agreed to a 5k with one of
her other friends. What!! I was so happy that she was finally going to give it a
shot. She began running and realized that she could actually run a longer
distance than what she believed she was capable of doing. She continued to
say that it sucked, but she did not stop. We both showed up at the start and
finished a 5k race!
We ran a few 5ks that season, a 10k, and a 12k out of town. We had so
much fun at the 12k that we decided to make it our annual event. I was still
training for the ½ marathon and truly overdid it. Injury happened and I was
unable to run, barely could walk and my season was over. My friend
continued to run and found a running partner that truly provides her
encouragement, friendship and strength. I was the one cheering them across a
finish line. I was so proud of them, but yet sad that I wasn’t able to be lacing
my shoes and hitting the ground running.
Several months passed and I found myself again at square one due to
unhealthy food choices, stressful life circumstances, and no commitment to
working out. I am 43 years old, a mother of three, and a full time employee. I
am not in shape at all, feeling like I have to do it all for everyone else, and I
have let myself be last. I am the only one responsible to make this different. I
love to run. Why do I give it up?
Again, I started-but it feels different this time. I am making myself a
priority and am going to be willing to let other things go to allow this for
myself. I will ask for help if needed and I am now not willing to sacrifice this
love to make things easier for others.
Several weeks later I went to a talk about marathon training with my
friend and her running partner, and we signed up! This was a program
designed to get anyone across the finish line. It allowed for scheduled walking
with running, avoiding injury. I had every intention to committing to the half
marathon and I was excited. We began training a few days later. The first
training session had us doing 1 mile for the ½ marathon runners and 3 miles
for the full runners. We decided to do the 3 miles and stick with the full
program and would switch to the ½ when it got to be too much. Weeks turned
into months, several 5ks and our fun 12k took the place of some of our long
runs. Several times, I cheered my friends (her running partner became a dear
friend and a running partner to me too!) across finish lines and I ran on my
own due to schedules and other reasons.

Then it happed, we reached the point that we have trained past the
½ marathon distance. We are still feeling great!! As we continued to train, we
