Profile on Bob Lambertby Jana Kiefer & Phil “Geno” Warlow

Bob Lambert says his running career comesin two parts - the young part and the not-so-

young part. A natural speed demon early on, Bob began byrunning a blistering mile in PE class andwas quickly recruited onto the trackteam. He came out of retirement later inlife to join a Jingle Bell team puttogether by his church. The bigquestion is: Does Bob still have it?Read on, please!

J & G Team: Bob, what’s your story onrunning?

Bob: My running life has consisted oftwo phases. In phase one I ran in highschool and a couple of years in college.That phase lasted for about 6 years. Istarted phase two about 8 years ago.Initially I guess one would say I was anatural. I ran a 5:45 mile in my freshmenPE class and the teacher talked me intogoing out for track. In phase two ourminister talked me into running for thechurch’s Jingle Bell team. I keptrunning after my daughter becameinterested and I found out that I stillhad a bit of speed left in my old legs.

J & G: Do you find someone special tobe an inspiration?

Bob: In phase one, my inspiration wasprobably my first cross country coachas well as the great US runners of theseventies, like Steve Prefontaine, CraigVirgin and Frank Shorter. Over the last few years my biggestinspiration has been my daughter Maureeca, and of courseMerlin Anderson, who I swear I’ll beat one day.

J & G: Merlin may have the distinction of being the “mostchased” man in the Lake Run Club. He’d probably prefer tohave more women chasing him, but I guess that’s life. Bob,were you chasing Merlin in your first race?

Bob: I can’t remember any races from phase one, but my firstreal race was one that Maureeca and I ran together when shewas eleven at White Oak Park. It was one of those ISU rec classevents. It was freezing, the wind was blowing at 30 mph andwow did we have fun!

J & G: Your idea of fun and our idea of fun are way different!Be that as it may, do you have a favorite race these days?

Bob: I think my favorite race is the Lake Run. I like the turnout,the party, the choice of two race distances and the presence ofall of the other club members who pitch in to help.

My most memorable race has to be my first Allerton Park race. Itwas run in a torrential downpour that lasted the entire race.Maureeca and I were completely soaked at the end, havingfallen in more than one huge puddle. I know I went under acouple of times taking her with me. Our clothes weighed over 20lbs. It was a blast…!

J & G: We’re seeing a pattern develop-ing here, Bob. Where do you like to runwhen you can’t find a torrentialdownpour, deep puddles, and highwinds?

Bob: I like the Constitution Trail centersection. It is close to my house and yetseems like a real trail run. It has all thethings a runner needs, water, port-a-potties, and beautiful scenery!

J & G: When you feel more adventur-ous, where do you run?

Bob: I like to run the West bike trails atLake Evergreen. A few summers backwhile on a run early one Sundaymorning in August I ran across a fullgrown cougar walking on the trail. Iwas a bit surprised to say the least.Luckily the cat was more scared of meand it ran off into the woods. It’s rightup there with UFO sightings. But,that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

J & G: That sounds suspiciously like aRich Beal sighting in disguise, but we’lltake your word for it, Bob. Sure wewill… OK - rain, wind, wildlife; whereelse can you find excitement like that?

Bob: I’ve never really thought about it much. I guess that Iwould like to try the Saybrook 5K put on by you guessed it,Rich Beal. The challenge of beating the 8:15 am freight train tothe crossing has to be one of the most exciting things that cantake place in any race in Central Illinois!

J & G: Are you sure? Didn’t you forget something???????

Bob: It has to be Chilly Chili… The costumes are great! Thechili is spicy and the sweatshirts are awesome.

J & G: And the beer cold? And the Rich Beal sightings…?

Bob: I’ve gone way beyond when it comes to Beal sightings -I’ve run on the same relay team, I’ve volunteered to help himduring races, I’ve run races he’s sponsored and I’ve evencaught him eating a cookie at the Kids Run on the sly. I have tosay that I like Rich, but he’s just a bit scary sometimes and Iguess I’m just a glutton for punishment!

by Sherry Detloff

Opening Night of CTWAhhh, there’s nothing as satisfying after a bitterlycold run than snuggling on the sofa under a fleecethrow with a cup of hot tea and a few Girl Scoutcookies - I said a few, not the whole box! (I’veheard that Girl Scout cookies freeze well but theydisappear so quickly at my house that they nevermake it to the freezer!) As I thaw out on the sofa,I’m reflecting on tonight’s run - the first night ofthe 2007 Catch The Wave (CTW) program.

When trainees register for the Catch The Waveprogram, we warn them that we run outdoors in allkinds of weather. The only circumstances underwhich we’ll cancel a CTW training run are if lightning is present(no, I’m not talking about Christian Goy!) or if the tornadosirens are wailing. I was slightly dismayed when I woke up torain on March 1, the first day of CTW. I prefer to run in dryweather (I think most of us do!), and I was concerned that someof the CTW trainees wouldn’t show up at Central Catholic HighSchool - our new meeting place - for the first night of CTW.

Fortunately, the rain stopped several hours before the inauguralCTW training run at CCHS. (Wow, two acronyms in onesentence; bet you can’t tell I work at State Farm, home of theacronym!) The turnout for the first night of CTW was surpris-ingly large. Many rookie runners registered several weeksearlier at Often Running, and some mailed in their registrationforms, but quite a few registered on Night One of CTW. Luckily,there were many helpful volunteers on hand to assist CTWcoordinator Deb McNamara with registration, answer questionsand direct traffic.

Mitch Hobbs from Often Running was an appropriate speaker foropening night of CTW. After all, shoes really are the mostimportant piece of running equipment - and Mitch did not payme to write that either! One of the goodies the CTW traineesreceived was a coupon good for 15% off at Often Running(thanks, Mitch!), and I’m sure those coupons will be put to

SShheerrrryy’’ss OObbsseerrvvaattiioonnss good use. Now that I think about it, I’m longoverdue to replace my running shoes; I confess - I’mguilty of over-wearing them.

After Mitch’s talk, the CTW trainees and teamleaders headed outdoors for a dry run - get it? Dryrun? (Okay, let me explain: it was raining earlier inthe day, and when the rain stopped…) Well, itwasn’t exactly a dry run, because we discovered thatthe track at CCHS was flooded. So, we all ran aroundthe spacious parking lot, dodging an occasionalmoving vehicle. The good news - no ice, no piles ofdirty snow and no slush. The outdoor temperaturewas a toasty 33 degrees, but the wind chill? I don’twanna know.

You’d think that after graduating from CTW fiveyears ago, I would have figured out by now how to dress forrunning in different types of weather. I didn’t take into accountthat during the first few weeks of CTW, we walk more than werun - and one should dress warmer when one walks. And Ididn’t take into account the wind chill factor. Plus, okay, I’lladmit it: I’d gotten a little soft running indoors on a treadmillduring the winter. My usual long sleeved jersey and fleece vestwere woefully inadequate to protect me from the wind. And Ishould have worn mittens instead of gloves. It was so cold thatsome of the CTW trainees chose to run more than they walked,because running warmed them up, and they didn’t notice thecold as much when they ran.

There’s always at least one night of exceptionally nasty weatherduring Catch The Wave, and I’d like to think that we’ve gottenour Nasty Weather Night over with, but I know better. Still,you’re more likely to brave the elements when you have friendsto run with: the camaraderie keeps you warm. And the knowl-edge that the racing season is right around the corner alsowarms me up.

Well, it’s time to refill my mug with hot tea and go stand on thefloor register - one of the nice features of old houses. Until nextmonth, think warm thoughts when you’re freezing your butt off!

The Annual Awards Banquet was a big success and a hugeThank You goes to Sarah and Tom Butler for organizing itagain this year. The Hawaiian theme was a perfect way to forgetthe freezing temperatures outside. Award winners are posted onthe Lake Run Club web site. Congratulations to everyone!

The Circuit is underway with the largest turnout ever for theMiller Park Zoo Stampede. Is this race beginning to earn areputation as the race with the worst weather? It’s a well-deserved distinction as the weather once again slapped runnerswith wind, snow, and cold temperatures.

The Volunteer Committee has begun its mentoring programwhich will qualify more people to handle software and finishlines for the club. If you’re interested in learning to do either ofthese important race functions, get in touch with Pam Walden.

Keep your running and racing season safe.

Have we made itthrough winter, orhaven’t we? It’s been achallenging few monthsof bad weather, making ithard to get trainingmiles in unless youresort to a treadmill. Sofar, Beth Lamb and Ihave only had to do 13treadmill miles as wetrain for the NashvilleMarathon at the end ofApril. The Lowrybrothers Kent and Curt

(or Hans and Franz, if you were at Chilly Chili), Jeff Simpson,and John Runge have convinced us (kind of) that runningoutdoors in -13 degrees windchill is exhilarating. (We’ll agreewith that right after we recover from the frostbite.)

President’s Messageby Jana Kiefer

J & G: In Rich’s defense, he’s one of our most valuablevolunteers. What do you think, Bob?

Bob: I like to volunteer for the Lake Run. It is one of the area’slargest races and allows me to volunteer with a bunch of greatpeople and still run the best race around a dammed lake.

J & G: Well said, Bob. Are you training for a specific race rightnow?

Bob: I try and stay in racing form throughout the season. Mylast race this calendar year (2006) is Deer Run Run. I may tryand increase mileage and peak for a race every now and then…But I usually end up hurt when I try and do that. I would like todrop a few more pounds and increase my mileage a bit. I wouldlike to try a half marathon next year.

J & G: What does it take to get you off on the right foot beforea race?

Bob: I like to get to races early and get a good parking spot. Ialways run well when I get a good parking spot. It seems towork!

J & G: Whatever it takes, eh? What’s the coolest piece ofrunning gear you own?

Bob: I like the LRC black long sleeve shirt we received as acircuit award a few years ago and of course my numerous DogDays singlets that Mitch comes up with every year. The colorchange this last year was great!

J & G: Who’s out there on the trail with you?

PROFILE continued from page 3Bob: I have a fairly consistent group that I run with mostweekends and throughout the week. Our group consists of mywife Chery and her posse, Laurel Schumacher and JennyKeen. The guys that run are Bill Hahm, Larry Schumacher,John Wutz and every now and then we run with Paul Gorden aswell. Of course I run with my daughter Maureeca when she’shome. I have to say that my biggest motivation is my daughterMaureeca. We’ve always been competitive. I need to stay inshape just to keep up with her these days. Then of coursethere’s Merlin. I figure that if he’s still running at his age andkicking my butt then I had better stay at it.

J & G: Ahhh, the Merlin thing again. Perhaps Merlin sightingsshould be reported to the J & G Crack Interview Team. Hmmm.

And a cracked interview team we are, although we’re feelingpretty good about completing another character analysiswithout injuries. Well, maybe Merlin; but he’s tough.

Keep those cards and letters coming, running readers. We lovethe fan mail and suggestions for profile candidates. We can’tdo it without you. Thanks for your support; we’d enjoyprofiling YOU next!

Cool chairs, beach blankets, handy gymbags… you’ve all seen them, but noteveryone has one. Why? Becausethese special gifts are reserved for ourtop volunteer point earners each year.

A few years ago the Volunteer Committee established a volun-teer point system as an incentive to get more club membersinvolved in volunteering. And it did just that… so much so thatour very dedicated Volunteer Point Master has been inundatedwith requests for points!

The Volunteer Committee and the Lake Run Club board recentlyreviewed the point system. We revised the list of activities andsome of the points awarded for those activities, and we came upwith some procedures to hopefully simplify the whole system.Remember that points are awarded for significant time, effortand organization. Since our club and everything we do runs on“volunteer-power”, we recognize the importance of allvolunteerism and take pride that our members volunteer in manydifferent ways.

The following procedures will take effect this year:1. The race activities listed at the very bottom of the list are

for our club sponsored circuit races only (St Pat’s, LakeRun, Park 2 Park, Dog Days, & Dawson Lake).

2. Points for finish line, software, and course measurementwill be awarded for any race where our club has been askedto provide services.

3. Only the listed activities will earn points for 2007. If youwould like to suggest a volunteer activity for inclusion thefollowing year, it will be taken into consideration but theVolunteer Coordinator and the LRC board will make the finaldecision.

4. Only race directors and event/program coordinators maysubmit volunteer names to the Volunteer Point Master - JeffSimpson ([email protected]). These volunteer listsshould be submitted no later than 30 days after the event(or the last day of the event – ex: CTW, Kids Run). Thisensures that everyone eligible will be acknowledged forany special awards & gifts at the annual end of year awardsbanquet.

5. Individual volunteers should work with their contactperson (race director or event/program coordinator) tomake sure they get included for points. Please allow atleast 2 weeks after the lists are submitted (which may be upto 30 days after the event) for your points to show up onthe website before contacting your race director or eventcoordinator.

6. If two people share an activity (ex: two Kids Run Coordina-tors), each person will receive full points.

7. You must be a LRC member at the time of the event to earnpoints for that event.

Below is a detailed list of volunteer opportunities that will earnpoints and the points associated with each:

Saturday, February 17 was a cold and windy day. Temps in theteens and winds in the 20’s produced a wind chill of zero (doesthat mean there was no wind chill?) The roads were packed withsnow and ice. It would have been wise to avoid driving,especially all the way to Comlara Park, the site of ABC run #21.

But who said runners are wise? Eighteen warm hearts bravedthe elements and took the chill out of the arctic air by joiningtogether for a winter running adventure and contributing anexcellent total of $240 to the Children’s Organ TransplantAssociation (COTA) medical fund for Annika Tiede.

Annika is a local six-year-old girl awaiting a liver transplant.You may recall that we did an ABC run for Annika in May of2006, raising $401. She is still awaiting a liver transplant and themedical bills keep rising. Great thanks to everyone for yourcontributions and great thanks to Becky Roesner for coordinat-ing this event!

I had no idea that so may people would show up so I made surewe had some runners by bringing four with me: Meg Anderson,John Grice, Nick Klimkiewicz and Nicole Kurtain. Although Ifeared no one else would show, miracle of miracles, I saw severalcars as we approached the parking lot. Michelle Monk beat usall by starting early. She was miles out on the course before weeven got there. Becky was a great host, providing refreshmentsat the 3.5 mile mark and an abundance of food at the finish.Also waiting for us were Melissa Adams, Steve Barr, DonnaCreditor, Kevin Fahling, Saori Hanaki, Paul Martin, Tim Rood,Jill Schneider, Mary Ellen Schupbach and Leann Steidinger.

Paul Martin took a quick couple of photos and then Scott Toddshowed up, just missing the photo op. Trust me, Scott wasthere but he didn’t run. Becky innovated by making this a run/

ski event so Scott took the opportunity to join Becky on thecross-country ski trails. ABC runs frequently include bikers butI was pretty sure no bikers would show. I did hear a report thatsome bikers switched to snow-shoeing for the day.

This run was a true winter adventure. Less than a mile into therun, we saw at least 25 deer bounding through the field andacross the road. A snowplow, attempting to keep up with thedrifting snow, came by frequently, each time creating completewhite-out conditions. Did you know that Tim Rood can run astraight line in a blinding blizzard? Of course, I’m not a reliablewitness because I couldn’t see a thing. All I know is that Timwas on the road before the snowplow came by and Tim was stillon the road after the snowplow-induced blizzard.

At the refreshment stop and at the 5-mile turnaround point,John Grice wanted to run through the trails instead of stayingon the road. We barely talked him out of it. What type of guywould want to charge through knee-deep snow? I later Googledhis name and found that he has achieved All-American agegroup status as a triathlete.

After enduring cold arctic winds, snowplow-induced blizzards,and seven or ten miles of snow and ice packed roads, we wererewarded with Becky’s banquet at the finish - including coffeecake, cookies, muffins, bananas, yogurt, hot chocolate (withwhipped cream), chocolate milk, water, Gatorade, and muchmore. Thanks again, everyone, for all the food, camaraderie, andcontributions!

More about Annika:Annika was born in October, 2000 with a birth defect calledbiliary atresia. The ducts that normally allow bile to drain fromthe liver were blocked, causing progressive liver disease.Annika received a life-saving liver transplant in 2002, but hassince developed serious complications on account of poorblood circulation to her new liver. After having surgery to lowerthe blood pressure in her portal vein, and spending the winter of2005-2006 in the ICU, she is once again on a waiting list for anew liver.

While Annika’s situation is quite serious, she is fortunate to beat home with her parents, her sister Frankie, and their new dogCleo. She loves games, having friends visit, trips to the park,and cheese pizza. Annika, and hundreds of children like her, arewaiting for lifesaving organ transplants. Please consider addingyour name to the Illinois Organ/Tissue donor registry. You canfind information about this new registry atwww.cyberdriveillinois.com/programs/organdonor/home.html.

Additional donations to Annika’s fund can be made atwww.COTA.org by selecting Patient Campaigns from the menuon the left of the homepage. Also, local friends are recyclingused ink jet cartridges and old cell phones to benefit Annika’sfund. Please contact Becky Roesner ([email protected]) if you,or your place of business, have ink cartridges or phones torecycle.

COOLING DOWNCOOLING DOWNCOOLING DOWNCOOLING DOWNCOOLING DOWNWITH THE BIG GUYWITH THE BIG GUYWITH THE BIG GUYWITH THE BIG GUYWITH THE BIG GUYby Charlie Grotevant

Past recipients of this newsletter may remember reading aboutmy receiving the 2002 Great Comebacks Award from CCFA(Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America) and ConvaTec.This award recognizes successful lives following ostomy ordiversion surgery. I have also shared our experiences related tothe filming of video scenes and commercials by ConvaTec onour farm in 2004. Another Great Comebacks adventure came intoour lives recently.

I am not a shameless name-dropper because I do feel shamewhen it is directed at me, and Ialso realize name-dropping doesnot always generate the desiredresults. For example, last year,among a group of runners inanother area of the state, namesof friends were shared as welooked for common acquaintan-ces. When I mentioned NigelKeen as my friend, I received ahorrified look and a handshakeof condolences. Not the desiredresult!

Bear with me as we go back tothe subject at hand. In mid-February, Joyce and I receivedan invitation to attend the 2006Great Comebacks Awardceremony scheduled forWednesday, February 28 inWashington, DC. We acceptedthe invitation and travelarrangements were made for aTuesday February 27 flight toDC with return on ThursdayMarch 1. Several past recipientsof the award (has-beens like me)as well as the five 2006 Regional Comebacks Award recipientswere to be part of a lobbying effort on Capitol Hill while there inconjunction with the ceremony.

On February 24, an alert arrived regarding a possible WhiteHouse visit on Tuesday, including a request of personalinformation for security purposes.

Side note - Rolf Benirschke, who heads the Great ComebacksCommittee, and pro-golfer Al Geiberger were co-recipients ofthe first Great Comebacks Award in 1984, back when Rolf was an

All-Pro kicker for the San Diego Chargers. Rolf nearly died fromcomplications of ulcerative colitis during the 1979 NFL season,returning to play the following year while wearing an ostomypouch.

We arrived at the Madison Hotel in DC Tuesday afternoon, intime to change clothes and board the bus to the White House.Thirteen were in the group led by Rolf, ten of us with ostomiesor bowel diversions.

Following the security procedures, we were welcomed to theWhite House by Marvin Bush, youngest brother of thePresident and a fellow ostomate. Marvin nearly lost his life dueto complications of ulcerative colitis in the late 1980’s and isnow a member of the 5 P Club – People who Poop or Pee in aPlastic Pouch.

After 15 or 20 minutes of photos and dialogue, Marvin excusedhimself for another commitment and left us in the charge of anofficial White House guide. We were able to enter many of the

“Charlie, you Lake Runners are really hard to keep up with! (photo courtesy of Charlie Grotevant)


rooms with the guide and were about to leave, when a ‘sweatybiker’ entered the room, inquiring “What’s happening here?”The President, just back from a ‘hard’ 45 minutes on the bike,joined our group for nearly a half hour of photos and chit-chat.Yes, Marvin had alerted his brother to our presence and thePresident chose to cool down from the ride with us.

The President’s speech patterns and mannerisms with our smallgroup were the same as we see when he is speaking ontelevision to multitudes, with a sense of humor very much inevidence. What an experience!

Wednesday was a very busy day, with Capitol Hill visitsscheduled following a 6am run for six of us, including Rick andTom, who will be my teammates for a Half Ironman in LakeGeneva during September. Rick organized the team, and yes,we’re all in the 5 P Club. Rick and I are also entered in the GreenBay Marathon on May 20.

Two men from the event sponsoring organization, Ian and Steve,joined us for the run, as well as Rob Hill, who is well on his wayto being the first person with an ostomy to climb the highestpeaks in seven continents. He has completed five, and will flyto Jakarta in April for the Oceania peak, leaving only the ‘biggy’,Mt Everest as the finale.

The 48 minute run went well, except these young guys in theirearly 30’s had me running at nearly race pace to keep up. Okay,one was in his 40’s. And I did lag when we ran up the stairs ofthe Lincoln Memorial. (This old guy walked down and then hadto sprint to catch up.)

More name dropping now. Be ready!

The Great Comebacks Award Dinner was held at the NationalMuseum of Women in the Arts, billed as having the largestcollection of paintings by women in the world. It was awesome!The dinner began with a social hour for the 150 invited attend-ees. Joyce and I were very fortunate to have several minutes ofdialogue with Bob Schieffer of CBS News and the Master ofCeremonies for the evening.

Bob shared his 30-year history of ulcerative colitis, treatablewith medication, and a bladder cancer situation, now inremission. He then told of his wife’s survival of breast cancer.She had a double mastectomy at age 34 and was given a year tolive. Today, at age 68, she continues to live a happy andhealthy life. So much for medical predictions!

We were also able to have a few minutes with Tony Snow, formerTV news anchor and columnist, and now Press Secretary for thePresident, who was to receive an Honorary Great ComebacksAward and be one of our speakers that evening. February 28was two years to the day of his colon cancer surgery andtemporary colostomy creation.

Once we sat down to eat, and prior to the serving of the meal,Bob Schieffer made a few opening remarks and proceeded tointroduce a video. Yes, it included yours truly - Charlie andJoyce - with scenes filmed on our farm two years ago, as well asscenes with others in the ‘Little Gifts’ video. Both of thesevideos and the new video of the 2006 Regional Great ComebacksAward recipients can be viewed at www.greatcomebacks.org.

Following the ceremonies, Tony Snow came up to me, relatinghow he had been a fitness level runner for many years prior tothe cancer situation, and had already decided to resume runningwhen the weather became nice. “After hearing and seeing thestories this evening, I am hereby resolving to resume runningthis week!” Tripped his trigger, didn’t we?

Thursday, our final day, started with a 7:30am run for Rick, Ian,and me prior to departure. Our 56 minute route took us acrossthe Potomac to Arlington National Cemetery and past moremonuments. Yes, nearly race pace again for me. Do yousuppose that had anything to do with my Personal Worst 5K atthe Miller Park Zoo Run on Saturday March 3? The St Pat’s 5Kwill answer that question.

Now back to the real world. If only I can achieve ‘quality time’with the elusive Rich Beal similar to what I had with thePresident, I will have another name to drop. See you at theraces!


From Pages Pastby Merlin Anderson

I found a pile of old Lake RunClub newsletters while lookingin the basement for stuff topitch. I couldn’t throw themout. Like many things I keep onmy way to becoming a pack-rat,they are just too dear todiscard. Trophies are easy to

toss because they only remind me that I raced and placed.Newsletters bring back many more memories, such as:

August 1988 issueDid you know that Dog Days was once an 8K (4.97 miles) andthe July 23, 1988 Dog Days 8K was the Lake Run Club’s firstrace since its incorporation? Tom Ellenberger was a racedirector for the first time and wrote “my formula for success wassimple... let Bobby Raymond do it all.” Tom also wrote that hismost lasting memory of the race was “the poison ivy Bobby andI got while hanging the START banner in the trees. The stuffate my right arm off and the damn stump still itches.”

Gary Fedie (27:19) and Patty Houseworth (31:24) were theoverall winners. Long-time Chilly Chili race director DebO’Rourke won her age group with a blistering 36:17 in the 91degree heat and Auburn Wells sped to the 50+ age group win in31:20.

March 1989 issue“LAW FORCES CANCELLATION OF THE LAKE RUN”, byLarry Nelson. “Due to the provisions of section 2.06(a),Murphy’s Law, the Lake Run has been cancelled for 1989.”Larry further wrote “section 2.06(a) provides: Once a projectstarts to go wrong, there is no stopping it. Bigger and biggercalamities will occur until those in charge are overwhelmed.”After seven years, the Lake Run was temporarily discontinuedbut a smaller version, Son of Lake Run, was held on May 27.

Also in the March 1989 issue, the membership renewal formoffered two choices: ( ) $10 annual, or ( ) $1173 lifetime. Iwonder if Larry had something to do with that?

June 1989 issue“Son of Lake Run” was held on May 27. There was no loopcourse, only the 7.5 mile lake course. According to race directorBobby Raymond, “to keep everyone’s spirits up, the three waterstops were manned by cheerleader squads.” Josh Favus (40:05)and Patty Houseworth (50:45) were the overall winners. Ourshoe guru, Mitch Hobbs, ran 42:09 to win the 25-29 age group.Even though I won my age group in 43:09, my lasting memory isnot of Mitch beating the snot out of me, but of SteveHouseworth beating me while pushing a baby stroller. Thosebabies, Jon and Sean, later grew up to beat the snot out of me.Life is not fair… I try so hard… but they keep beating the snotout of me… maybe I’m digressing.

October 1989 issueThe 8th annual Danvers Days 5K, directed by Greg and RoseGoyen, was won by Mike Egle (16:30) and Sharon Bequeaith(21:07). Bill Read added a special touch by calling out thenames of each runner as they crossed the finish line. Also inthis issue, it was announced that Wendy and Brad Littlebecame proud parents of Joshua David Little on September 22,1989.

Jan/Feb 1990 issueKen Endrizzi and Mitch Hobbs tied for 1st place with a speedy24:02 in the 3rd annual Chilly Chili Run. Deb O’Rourke andLarry Nelson were race directors. Later in the newsletter, KenEndrizzi was congratulated for beating the world famous runner,Henry Rono, by one second in the 5K Turkey Trot in Novemberof 1989. It was also noted that I would be the race director ofSON OF LAKE RUN II, a 4.5 mile race to be held on May 6. Iwonder how that came out? I’m missing the newsletter for thatmonth.

Sept/Oct 1990 issueThe 9th annual Danvers Days 5K was won by Mike Egle(16:09) and the LRC VP Celeste Poole (21:09). Doug Gillam iswelcomed as a new LRC member. So that’s when it all started.Doug later went on to be very active in the LRC, developingthe Catch The Wave program among his many contributions.Pat Dunagan is announced as race director for the 1991 LakeRun. After a two-year hiatus with smaller “Son of Lake Runs”filling the gap, the real Lake Run is back!

Jan/Feb 1992 issueNigel Keen is welcomed as a new LRC member. Can you believeNigel has been running and partying this many years? LeoHermes and Denny Erswell were co-winners of a 3-mileprediction run held on December 29. They were both only 5seconds off their prediction. Doug and Stephanie Gillam, racedirectors for the 1992 Lake Run, reported on their Lake Runplanning committee meetings. Finally, a nice person (probablyDoug) included an article documenting my good racing year. Iwonder if that’s why I kept this issue?

July 1992 issueThis is the first issue I have that lists the LRC officers (KirbyCheek is the Prez). This is also the first issue that has a“message from the President” column. Stephanie and DougGillam, Lake Run race directors, reported on the race. DennisKillian is welcomed as a new LRC member. Where were theparties before Dennis joined?

September 1993 issueThis is the first issue I have with runner profiles. MikeHeffron’s profile notes that Mike “is consistent in his training,consistent in his diet, and consistently at the front of the packin area races.” That statement is just as true today, after allthese years. The article further went on to state that Mike’sconsistency may stem from his days as a cross-country runnerfor Elmwood High School, which won three straight state cross-

country championships. Melinda Cheek’s profile notes that shefirst became interested in running in 1978 and that she “startedrunning basically because her husband was a runner. Now sheloves it for her own reasons.”

November 1993 issueJeff Feid is announced as director of the 1994 Lake Run.Melinda Cheek wrote that the LRC has joined the Adopt-a-Highway program. To this day, we continue to clean up a two-mile stretch of road near Lake Bloomington. Kirby Cheek wrotean article documenting the exacting procedures the LRC uses toaccurately measure race courses. Judy Oltman is welcomed asa new member and is profiled. The profile notes that Judy set aPR in the Fox Cities Marathon with a 3:43:01, qualifying her forthe 1994 Boston Marathon and gaining her a $100 prize forwinning her division. Did she use the money toward a planeticket to Boston? You’ll have to ask Judy.

Well that’s all the time I have right now. Let me know if youwould like to take another trip through memory lane. I mightjust write another article.


Eureka Race with your HeartCircuit Race Profile:

by Paul Peacock

The Details: The town of Eureka is hosting a party and you’reinvited! What started 25 years ago as a way for local runners toget their community involved in running has grown into anannual party (and 4 mile race) for runners, community support-ers, and their families. This year’s race on April 21 merges theEureka Spring Classic with the Race with your Heart previouslyheld in the fall. While the course and amenities remain the same,the race is now organized by the Heart House in Eureka, whichalso benefits from the race proceeds.

The Course: “Mission Control” for the race is the Eureka LakePavilion that sits along the north side of the Lake Roadconnecting Highway 117 with old Route 24. The four mile runbegins at this pavilion, which sits on a hill overlooking the lake.Runners take off west on the blacktop road within the park andtravel the first ¾ mile over rolling hills along the lake. Thecourse turns onto Lake Road and continues up a short hillwhere it then levels out. At the halfway mark the course turnsback around, taking runners over the same hills as before. Thefinish is at the top of the last hill, at the same place as the start.Leave it to a competitive group of race founders to design acourse that covers what might be the hilliest four miles inWoodford County! The challenge, however, is not without itsrewards as a full spread awaits finishers - including grilled hotdogs and homemade cookies.

The Director: Theresa Read carries on her role in organizingthe race for the Heart House in Eureka and receives the torchfrom previous directors of both races. Although she is not arunner herself, she has guidance from long time running leadersMary and Don Hutson as well as other members from the WalnutGrove Road Runners Club (more on them later). Her realexperience comes from her work at the Heart House, a shelter forthe homeless and victims of domestic violence in WoodfordCounty. The Heart House provides care and support forresidents in a homey atmosphere along with financial and livingassistance for families in need. All the funding for the HeartHouse is provided through donations. Every family who leavesthe Heart House receives a handmade quilt that adorned theirbed during their stay as a tangible reminder of the love andsupport they received during their stay.

How it All Began: Walnut Grove Road Runners was formed by agroup of competitive Eureka runners during the late 70’s/early80’s running boom - taking their name from the original name oftheir town (before it officially changed to Eureka in 1855). In1982, they began the Eureka Spring Classic race to get more oftheir community involved in running. From the beginning, itwas designed to bring out families to join in the event. As yearswent by, local organizations got on board with the event,including the Hospital’s Auxiliary which provides thosewonderful homemade cookies for the cookout.

Fourteen years after the first Spring Classic, Joe Stowell cameup with the idea for another race in Eureka to benefit the Heart

House. After hearing a presentation to the local Rotary aboutthe Heart House in 1995, he decided to organize a race to serveas a fundraiser. While the race has had moderate success overthe past ten years, it has always been a little sister to the SpringClassic. This year, however, the races come together and thetradition that has been the Spring Classic is now a powerfulfundraiser for Heart House, with local business sponsorscommitting over $30,000 in donations.

The Experience: Anyone familiar with Eureka knows thattraditional family values have created strong bonds among itscommunity members. So it is no surprise that any event held inthis town generates a strong feeling of community. When yourun this race, you become a temporary member of this close-knitcommunity and benefit from its comforts (did I mentionhomemade cookies?) Comforts, by the way, that you get toenjoy AFTER a pretty strenuous four mile run.

This year’s race has what appears to be the entire town ofEureka joining forces to create a special event for race partici-pants. Uniquely designed T-shirts are given to all participants,and the top five finishers in each division will receive 3Dmedallions. There are door prizes to be won along with musicon the course provided by radio stations Mix 101.1 and KISS96.5/98.5. There will even be free massages to soothe away thedamage caused from all the hills.

Best Reason to Run: If all the amenities mentioned above arenot enough to get you headed over to Eureka this April, thenconsider that your proceeds benefit a truly caring organization.Heart House provides goods and services without charge toindividuals and families in Woodford County who are in greatneed of that help. Just knowing that you are supporting suchan organization will make chowing down on a hot dog that muchmore satisfying!
