Jonathan NashCathy and I are in India for a year. We have done some races and would like to share some photos with Agapé.

Cathy has recovered well from her two knee replacements and is doing a bit of running and cycling.

What a privilege to be able to run in another continent, we are enjoying the races in Bengaluru known as Bangalore.

I have attracted some attention when I run in my Agapé vest, during the last race I was asked how is my son doing? They don't run in club colours in India and run for a specific cause, the beardathon was towards men's physical and mental health.

I attached a photo of a handmade medal made by differently abled people.

I, (Christo Müller) and Jaco Klopper, who have been running for over 30 years, decided after years to write a book about stories in a marathon's athlete’s career. We ask athletes as well as retired ath-letes to share their unforgettable moments with us for the book. Any stories and photos are wel-come. We do not only want to test the reader's stomach muscles, but also convey an inspirational, motivational and spiritual image. Many people do not understand why we run and what are we chas-ing. Therefore, share with us why you're running, what makes it so much fun? Email your story in Afrikaans or English to [email protected] or [email protected] followed by your name and town. We want to connect the stories to your name unless you want to stay anonymous, just let us know. We will keep you in the loop of the progress. The book will be published in English and Afrikaans.

Running greetingsChristo and Jaco

TWO OCEANS -ULTA ENTRYThank you very much for the newsletter every month as well as all the contributions of members. I would like to ask if there is anyone who has an entry to the 2019 Two Oceans Ultra 56Km. to please contact me at 0829502942 or email: [email protected] 

I would gratefully buy it from you. 

Very big was my disappointment when I went online the very day the entries opened, just to find that I was already too late!

The Ultra already reached its limit. Have a Blessed Christmas. Kind Regards,Elmirie Meyer

OM DIE DAM ENTRIES

Om die Dam Close to Selling Out!

Less than a week after opening entries amd we are almost Sold Out! With less than a thousand entries left for both the Ultra and 21km, we are advising you to enter NOW, or face the possibility that you will not be part of the 2019 Om die Dam Ultra Marathon!

Page 5: This n That - Agape 12-10.doc · Web viewWeighing in on knee pain. The number-one risk factor for OA is excess body fat – a problem most runners don't have. Sedentary, overweight

Here's What Awaits You!We have already announced in our previous mailer that the 2019 edition of the Om die Dam will only be offering the Ultra (50km) and Half Marathon (21.1km) distances, with the 10km and 5km races no longer forming part of the day's programme. "The re-sponse from the running community has been phenomenal with over two thirds of our entry cap gone in a mere four days, and we are more sure then ever that making the tough call to only host the 21km and the Ultra was the correct one," says Race Director Johan Von Molendorff.

Important to note, especially if you haven't entered already, is that there will be caps in place on both distances: The 50km will have space for 4000 runners, while 2000 entries will be taken for the 21km. So take note, with over 3000 already sold on the Ultra, and close to 1500 on the 21km, we are urging everyone who wants to be part of the 29th edition of this great race to ENTER TODAY.

Getting There Smoothly as WellIn case you missed the news in our previous mailer, please note that the roadworks that had such an adverse effect on the 2018 race have been completed, and additional steps have been taken by the race committee to ensure easy access and parking for entrants.

Those who opt in for early entry and those that book accommodation early will be allocated space at the venue for parking.

A park-and-ride service from Johannesburg and Pretoria will be offered, and these runners will be taken directly to the race venue.

A number of local accommodation venues will be offering a transport service for their guests to and from the race venue.

When entering, participants will be asked to indicate whether they will be travel-ling to the venue by car and whether they will need parking, and based on this runners will be allocated a preferred parking location.

All of the above steps are being taken to help the organising team manage congestion on race day. Our aim for the 2019 edition is to ensure that every runner's experience is a pleasurable one!

Entries will close on the 31st January 2019, or when our entry cap is reached - and we already know which is going to happen first... so get your entry in NOW!

Training/Health snippets

Running: Good for knees - Judi KettelerMost non-runners assume that running is bad for you, particularly your knees, because many run-ners pick up over-use injuries. However, the fact is that if done properly, running makes us well-oiled, healthy machines – ankles, knees, and hips included. Here’s proof.

"What about your knees? How are they doing? Don’t you think it would be better for them if you didn’t run?" If you’re a runner, chances are you've fielded those questions more than once. Not from doctors or physiotherapists, but from non-running friends and family members who assume that pavement pounding wreaks havoc on our bodies and that we'll all eventually need knee replace-ments and motorised scooters because of our arthritic joints.

Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritis, occurs when cartilage, the spongy tissue that cushions our joints, breaks down and deteriorates, making weight-bearing activities painful. Many people believe that running accelerates this process. And while most of us credit our running for keeping our heart, lungs, and soul healthy and happy, a twinge in an ankle or stiffness in a knee makes us wonder if our non-running buddies are perhaps right and our joints are bearing an unreas-onable burden.

The fact is, if we run responsibly – wear cushioned, supportive shoes and replace them when worn out, rehab injuries properly, incorporate cross-training and rest days into our schedules as needed – we're no more susceptible to OA than the general population, say medical experts. Actually, it's the doubters on the side-lines who could have a better chance of developing it.

Weighing in on knee painThe number-one risk factor for OA is excess body fat – a problem most runners don't have. Sedent-ary, overweight people are 45 percent more likely to develop OA than those who are active. "The more you weigh, the more pressure is placed on the joints, which seems to accelerate the break-down of cartilage," says Dr Patience White, M.D., chief public health officer for the Arthritis Founda-tion in the USA. Since losing weight is one of the best ways to prevent OA (losing five kilograms can take between 20 and 25 kilograms of pressure off the knee), and running is one of the most effect-ive kilojoule-burners, hopping on the treadmill for a tempo session could help.

But running does more than just lighten the body's load. "Aerobic exercise improves most body functions – including joint health," says Dr James Fries, professor of medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. When you exercise, the cartilage in your hips, knees and ankles compresses and expands. This draws in oxygen and flushes out waste products, nourishing and keeping the cartilage healthy. "Without exercise, cartilage cells get weak and sick," he says.

Furthermore, running strengthens the ligaments that help support joints, making them more stable and less susceptible to sprains and strains, which can damage cartilage and eventually lead to OA. In 2006, Dr Fries presented research that compared rates of OA-related disabilities between 539 runners and 423 non-runners over a 21-year period. At the follow-up exam, researchers found that the non-runners were worse for wear – their increase in disabilities was twice that of the runners.

The runners in Dr Fries' study averaged about 60 minutes of running five days a week. But even higher-mileage runners don't seem to risk bad knees. A 2006 study conducted at Germany's Univer-sity of Heidelberg looked at the incidence of OA among elite marathon runners. After comparing 20 former elite German marathoners with a control group of non-runners of the same age, gender and body mass index, the researchers found that the marathoners did not have a higher risk of OA of the knee.

Your thought for the week

Just when you think it can't get any worse, it can. And just when you think it can't get any better, it can!

Your smile for the week

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES:- If you're choking on an ice cube, simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat, presto! The blockage will instantly remove itself- Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold the vegetables while you chop- For high blood pressure sufferers ~ simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure on your veins. Remember to use a timer- A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button- If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives. Then you'll be afraid to cough- You only need two tools in life - q20 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the q20. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape- Remember - everyone seems normal until you get to know them- If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem

Something to ponder over / something spiritual

57 CentsA little over twenty years ago, Little Hattie May Wiatt lived in a house near the church in which we then worshipped. It was a small church and was crowded; tickets of admission were obtained some-times weeks in advance for every service. One day when I came down to the church, I found a num-ber of children outside. They were greatly disturbed because they could not get in due to the crowd

Page 8: This n That - Agape 12-10.doc · Web viewWeighing in on knee pain. The number-one risk factor for OA is excess body fat – a problem most runners don't have. Sedentary, overweight

of children already in the Sunday school rooms of the church, and little Hattie May Wiatt, who lived nearby, had brought her books and a contribution and was standing by the gate, hesitating whether to go back home or wait and try to get in later. I took her up in my arms, lifted her to my shoulder, and then as she held on to my head - an embrace I never can forget - I carried her through the crowd in the hall, into the Sunday school room, and seated her in a chair away back in a dark corner. The next morning as I came down to the church from my home, I came by their house, and she was going up the street to school. As we met, I said: "Hattie, we are going to have a larger Sunday school room soon," and she said: "I hope you will. It is so crowded that I am afraid to go there alone." "Well," I replied, "when we get the money with which to erect a school building, we are going to construct one large enough to get all the little children in, and we are going to begin very soon to raise the money for it." It was only in my mind as a kind of imaginary vision, but I wished to make conversation with the child.

Within the next couple years, Hattie became very sick, and they asked me to come in and see the child, which I did. I prayed with her. I walked up the street, praying for the little girl's recovery, and yet all the time, with the conviction that it was not to be. Hattie May Wiatt died. She had gathered 57 cents, which was left as her contribution towards securing another building for the children. After the funeral, her mother handed me the little bag with the gathered 57 cents. I took it to the church and stated that we had the first gift toward the new Sunday school building -- that little Hattie May Wiatt, who had gone on into the Shining World, had left behind her this gift towards it. I then changed all the money into pennies and offered them for sale. I received about $250 for the 57 pen-nies, and 54 of those cents were returned to me by the people who bought them. I then had them put in a frame where they could be seen and exhibited them, and by a sale of the $250 changed into pennies, we received enough money to buy the next house north of the church. That house was bought by the Wiatt Mite Society, which was organized for the purpose of taking the 57 cents and enlarging them sufficiently to buy the property for the Primary Department of the Sunday school.

Then when the crowd became so great we could no longer get in there, the thought impressed itself upon our congregation, "We ought to have a larger church and a larger Sunday school room." Faith in God was the characteristic of this people, and they said, "We can do it," notwithstanding the fact that we had no money in advance. Yet the conviction was strong that we ought to build a larger church, and some ventured so far, though then it seemed absurd, to say that we might "build on Broad Street somewhere".

I walked over to see Mr. Baird and asked him what he wanted for this lot on which the Temple now stands. He said that he wanted $30,000. I told him that we had only 54 cents toward the $30,000 but that we were foolish enough to think that some time we would yet own that lot. Encouraged by what he said and with no opposition on the part of the Board of Deacons, I went around again to talk with him and asked him if he would not hold the lot for five years. Mr. Baird said: "I have been think-ing this matter over and have made up my mind that I will sell you that lot for $25,000, taking $5,000 less than I think it is worth, I will take the 54 cents as the first payment, and you may give me a mortgage for the rest at 5%. I went back and reported to the church, and they said: "Well, we can raise more money than 54 cents." But I went over and left the 54 cents with Mr. Baird and took a receipt for it as a part payment on the lot. Mr. Baird afterwards returned the 54 cents as another gift. Thus, we bought the lot, and thus encouraged of God step by step, we went on constructing this building. We could hardly have dreamed then that in the number of years that followed, this people without wealth, each giving only as he could afford from his earnings, could have paid off so great a debt. I must state also that in the house purchased by the sale of the 57 cents was organized The Temple University.

Hattie May Wiatt was a school girl living in one of the homes of the industrious, honourable, upright and saving classes of society, not of the wealthy and great, yet think how her life was used; think what God did with her and the 57 cents that was used of hers. A glance at it would put many to shame. Think of this large church; think of the membership added to it - over 5,600 - since that time. Think of the influence of its membership going out and spreading over the world. Think of the influence of the Sabbath school carried on in this great building for more than twenty years. Then think of the institutions this church founded. Think of the Samaritan Hospital and the thousands of sick people that have been cured there and the thousands of poor that are ministered to every year. I received the report of the Samaritan Hospital for October last Saturday and find that during the month, 2,540 had visited the dispensary. By multiplying that by twelve to get the average for a year, we find that over 30,000 people every year go to the dispensary of that one hospital, and that does not include the inner wards for the poor or the private rooms. Then there is the other hospital,

Page 9: This n That - Agape 12-10.doc · Web viewWeighing in on knee pain. The number-one risk factor for OA is excess body fat – a problem most runners don't have. Sedentary, overweight

the Garrestson, also taken up by the people of this church. Without this church, it could never have been started. There they ministered in one single year to over 14,000 workmen, wounded, broken, and dying. When we think of the ministrations of these hospitals that were started by the influence of this church and supported in the beginning by members of this church, what a long roll it is of the deeds of Christian kindness.

Think of how in that Wiatt house were begun the very first classes of the Temple College. The Wiatt Mite Society provided the seats, the books and the teachers. Thus, it began as an evening school, and it has gone on growing and developing through the years. That house, bought for 54 cents in the first place, was sold, and the proceeds were given to the Temple College in order that it might open on Park avenue. We moved out of the original church too and gave it to the Temple College, and the college sold it to another church and used the money to erect a building next door to us on Broad Street. Think of the influence of that 57 cents just for a moment. Almost 80,000 young people have gone through the classes of the Temple University and think where they are. A year ago, we estimated that there were 500 young men and women in the business department who earned nothing before they went there and who, after six months' instruction, were earning a decent wage. Think of the added income, of the added comforts, which even the smallest departments had given, and then think of the Departments of Law, Medicine, Dentistry, Theology, Household Arts, the Nor-mal School and the Teachers' College - nearly 4,000 are now going in and out its various doors in various parts of the city. Just estimate how they will go and teach thousands more and how those thousands will in turn teach many thousands more in their lifetime; think how it sweeps the world in a century with one teacher, multiplying himself or herself a hundred times, perhaps, nearly every year. Two years ago, the smallest year of that work, we took statistics of the Temple University stu-dents. We ascertained that 504 young men were studying for the Gospel ministry in a single year. Now, if we graduate - and certainly we do - at least a hundred a year into the ministry, think what must have come to pass in twenty years since Hattie May's donation. Think of it - two thousand people preaching the Gospel because Hattie May Wiatt invested her 57 cents, because she laid the foundations.

Men may have powers of eloquence; they may sing with all the sweetness of angelic voices, and yet they may not speak as Hattie May Wiatt speaks, as she will speak through your life as you go out and do differently from what you would have done if you had not heard this story. Hattie May Wiatt is speaking in tones of eloquence, sweet, divine and powerful, moving on upon the ages. Many men are counted great; many men are given credit for that which they do not do, but here is a life filled with motive power that sweeps on for all time.
